It’s my 25th year anniversary. No regrets. Truth wins.

Keith, I really love your channel and your books as a former Protestant. Your book was the first I read through and easily finished because it was down to earth and on my level, and it really helped me more than any other as I was trying to learn more. It helped me tremendously. I am not finished reading your new book, but I am loving it! You have a great gift. I LOVE Unpacking the Mass, and I don’t understand why more people don’t watch those videos. I sometimes watch before Mass and sometimes after. It will prepare me for the liturgy, or it will better explain sacred scripture and waters and plants seed on good ground in my heart. So THANK YOU! I mean it when I say that you have touched my life. My husband and I will be confirmed on Sunday and we could not be any happier. What you said about loving Jesus more than you ever thought, that is exactly how I feel about what the Catholic Mass has done for me. I walked into the Catholic Church because my husband asked me to, and I walked in with a terrible attitude and judgmental from the start. I didn’t understand anything that was happening, so I wasn’t respectful, and when people knelt, I just sat. I always thought communion was just a symbol and I was offended that I wasn’t welcome to take communion. Just a few months prior, the local Methodist Church invited people to take communion curbside, whether you were a member or not, no questions asked. I did that and it felt empty. I went home and started reading about the faith. God began to move on my heart and I went back with more understanding of what was happening. I started to see that the Mass was all about Jesus and in such a real, amazing way I had never known before. But I was still confused about many beliefs. That is when I found your book. I can’t thank you enough for it. Ever since I’ve been watching your channel and following you. Please know that what you do is changing lives. God Bless! Looking forward to all that God has in store for your ministry!

Thankss for your sharing Keith. I'm very blessed. Regards from Catholics Indonesia. God bless our brother and may Mother Mary always pray for u 😇

I am a convert, but I prefer to think of it as being reconciled with the faith of my ancestors.
Born as a 3rd generation Pentecostal, raised to believe the Catholic Church was diabolical it was quite a journey for me. I came into full communion 20 years ago this past Easter Vigil.
Like most other converts, my only regret is that I did not do it sooner.

I've been Catholic my whole life, I'm 44, and I'm just becoming more converted. I've spent the majority of my life in sin and I regret that I never took it serious. The struggles are real. It's like you said, I never feel worthy enough. The more I pray the more I feel my sins weigh heavy on me. Literally I can't go two weeks without going to confession. My best days are the days after a good confession and receiving the Eucharist. Thank you for such an indepth video. You motivated me to keep growing. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏 . You just talked about the negative people online that are constantly pointing out the negative. I've gone to far down that rabbit hole. Moving forward, I need to steer clear, they don't help and they only make me judge, when only God can judge us.
Do you have a link to the Rosary crew? I'd love to have a personal conversation with you about moving forward. I'm in a job that isn't easy, and I feel like it pulls me back in my faith. I'm thinking of giving up my career.

I love my Catholic faith, my conversion is daily work but my love for Jesus and my desire to follow Him grows also daily. I have a long way to go but Keith your testimony inspires me and I love it. God bless you, your wife and kids. 🙏❤️🕊️

Congratulations Keith! I enjoy your videos so much. I became a convert to the Church in 1998, after four years of study and research on the " Early Church"and the True Church today as it matured from the early days after the ascension of Christ Jesus in Judea, through the middle east to Rome and beyond to today. God kept leading me to the Catholic Church and once I was welcomed into the Church, it was such a wonderful blessing! The first time I was allowed to partake of The Eucharist, it was such an awesome spiritual experience! I loved being a part of Christ's Church and attended Mass several years by myself as my wife did not share my enthusiasm for Catholicism. After a few years, I made the mistake of giving in and start attending church with my wife and our family. It has left me in a spiritual funk and I miss The Catholic Church so much. The church we attend is ok, and it's been welcoming, but it's just not The Church! I've been trying to figure out how to get back to my local Parrish again without alienating my family. Thanks for all you do please keep up the awesome work!!

Congratulations on your 5th year Anniversary as a convert💐🙏🎉

[anastasiataitotusa]

CONGRATULATIONS on your 5 years of remaining true to the Faith. It means sooomuch to us Catholics hearing FANTASTIC conversion stories. Keep up GREAT work?I join your Rosary group when I can. You wife looks lovely. GOD BLESS you both.

[rosiegirl]

Keith,
I have been watching your videos for a few years now.
I have listened to many, many, conversion stories, and honestly, yours just had that "special something" to it.
I think you are hard on yourself.
When you speak to us, the viewer, you speak with your heart. Which is authentic and honest.
I think your a great story teller, and you speak with that joy that we all want to feel as Catholics!
I think everyone loves learning about the many miracles that we have in the Catholic Church. As in apparitions, weeping statues and icons, Eucharistic Miracles, miraculous staircase, miraculous water, the Stigmata, the list goes on....
I think you would be perfect for this!
As a convert, your excitement would be felt.
Looking forward to the Rosary crew coming through Philly...hopefully soon!
Congratulations to you, and Estelle's upcoming 5 years in the Church!
We are blessed to have you home!
Thank you, Susan ⚘️

Going through RCIA right now and absolutely loving it. At times it's overwhelming but I go to mass and I get back into it and want the Eucharist even more than the Sunday before

[colettemccleave]

Congratulations! You have been an inspiration to many. Keep fighting the good fight. Many more blessings to you and your beautiful family. Thank you for your prayers.
