I had late stage 3 cancer similar to Jimmy’s wife. Really hits me. I was not Catholic at the time but entering the church this Easter. I am experiencing many health issues again and getting scans to determine the problem. I hope I life many years as I have two little but I do have more peace about death now more than ever. Please pray for my children.

I'm an Agnostic and I can't overstate just how much I love, love, love Jimmy Akin. The man has made my respect for Catholicism and religion in general increase by orders of magnitude.

[alanmd]

I'll watch this on my 15 minutes break.

[andrewvachon]

Moogoogaipan this was amazing. As a convert set to be baptized this Easter Vigil I can only say thank you all for the work you are doing.

[catherinesemaan]

I just love Jimmy Akin 😩 he’s such a calm, logical speaker. God bless Jimmy and you, Matt

[IcefieldRosaries]

I find it somewhat amusing, having followed this channel for about 2 years and hearing about how the Church is in turmoil, coming from the very worldly and untruthful practises of the Danish Protestant church performing same sex marriages, having female priests, at the same time as professing Sola Scriptura. Making a mockery of Mass...etc.
To me the conversion process has been one of experiencing calm waters😂. I guess its a matter of what one is used to..
Pray for me as I am planned to be taken into full communion this coming Easter. And thank you Pints and all the guests in playing a not insignificant part in softening this former protestant heart to the beauty and truth that is the Catholic Church and Faith. God Bless!

6 hours with jimmy akin, are you kidding me! This is like a dream come true 😍😍😍😍😍

[fairyjackalope]

Moogoogaipan! This was a delightful episode. ❤ a Protestant considering Catholicism

[anthonylangford]

Just driven a 2 hour drive after visiting a monastery for the Good Friday liturgy and this has kept me company. I'm looking forward to my next drive to listen more!

[janeheinrichs]

Thanks, Matt and Jimmy! Catholic revert here who owes a lot to Catholic Answers. 20 years in LA, San Fran and Seattle. Now great to see Jimmy across the church Saturdays in AR. 😊

[MrDuck]

I cannot express how delighted I was too see that Jimmy Akin would be here for 6 hours.

[TheRealMagicBananaz]

Every time I hear the story of Jimmy's wife I'm moved to tears. I cannot imagine the amount of pain one would go through to lose someone so suddenly yet so drawn out.

[edwardman]

Jimmy’s speaking is the epitome of informative speech. He gets right to the point without fluff or going off rails. Deliver the information efficiently and accurately. I could listen to him forever.

[WilliamChamplin]

Going to Adoration tonight with the wife and friends. What a great episode. Thanks be to God!!!

[joewilley]

Moo goo gai pan! Thanks guys, that was very enjoyable. Along with Joe Heschmeyer, Trent Horn, a few of my life-long Catholic friends, and the both of you, I have been able to finally decide to convert to Catholicism after 30+ years as a Protestant. Had my first RCIA meeting today. Thanks!

[OwlsinEden]

I dont have a wife but i do have a mom and she has cancer currently, really hit home when Jimmy started talking about his wife.

[MrCheese]

I am SO EXCITED for this 6 hour long episode of -Jimmy Akin's Mysterious World- Pints with Aquinas!

[yvonneleblanc]

Jimmy Akin is the best! Instead of throwing oil on fires, he brings reason and a historical perspective to problems and exemplifies a true humanity.

[christinashaw]

Thank you for talking about the division between less traditional and very traditional Catholics. This wasn’t something that seemed as bad when I had my reversion into the faith in 2014 at college. As it began to get worse, I was thrown into a depression because I didn’t know what to think of my faith any more, and I had to take a break from Catholic social media for a while because of the stress I experienced. This really helps clarify what is going on! 🙂

Moogoogaipan! Thoroughly enjoyed the 6+ hours with Jimmy Akin. Always a pleasure to listen and learn.
