Four Witnesses Brought Me Home - Rod Bennet

Former Southern Baptist Rod Bennett used to believe that the Catholic Church was the result of the “Great Apostasy.” However, as he was lead to read the works of the earliest Christians, he realized that the Early Church actually resembled Catholic beliefs and traditions!

(This talk was originally given in 2004 at the CHNetwork's "Deep in History" conference)

About the Deep in History Talks from the CHNetwork:

The early period of the growth of Christianity (ca. A.D. 50-700) is a rich source for learning how the earliest disciples and apostles of Jesus Christ passed on the “faith delivered once and for all to God’s holy ones” (Jud 3). From Ignatius of Antioch in the early second century to Gregory the Great in the early seventh, the story of the Church’s proclamation in winning over pagan culture to Christ is widely diverse in practice and wonderfully unified in doctrine. The faith of these early Saints inspires and challenges us to live more deeply in love with Christ and in continuity with our forbearers in Christ.

We hope these resources take you deep into the history of Christ's Church and thereby deeper into Christ. Please visit:

What an amazing talk! There is always more to read and know. I am so happy I have come home to the Catholic Church.

I recently finished Mr. Bennet's book 'Four Witnesses'. A must read for both Catholics and Protestants. In the words of John H Cardinal Newman: "To be deep in history is to cease being Protestant." To be deep in common sense, too.

Thank you Rob. Your book helped me with my reconversion back to the R.C.Church. I am British. Grew up in the Anglican Church.Married a young American. He brought me to the Northern Pa. His family were not very kind to me. They were strict Methodist. I lived with them while my husband served in Vietnam. I converted in 1978 to the Catholic Church.Did not know my bible that well or the Early Church history. Long story I went through a divorce. Remarried. 1995 worked for this nice J.W. women. Left the Catholic Church for about 19 yrs. Started to watch EWTN. The Journey Home. Sent away for your book. Last step going to my youngest Godchild's wedding Aug 2014 in a beautiful Catholic Church. The next day Sunday I went to my first Mass in over 19 yrs
Went through the R.C.I A.program. So blessed to be back in the Church. Thank you Rob. God bless you.

The Catholic Church is the only religion proven true, correct historically and living up to the entire teachings and traditions of the 12 Apostles. It is the one true Church Jesus Christ founded in 33 A.D.

I am a cradle Catholic from South Africa and am blessed to have been born and baptized in the one true Church although am concerned with the current Vicar of Christ admitting idolatry into the Church precincts. I know that the Church, as in previous times, will withstand this heresy. May our Lord continue to guide and strengthen the shepherds He has chosen to lead and guide us in faith. God bless the true Shepard's and correct the lost.

[yawdaniel]

Cant stop listening to him. I am reading your book 'Four Witnesses: The Early Church in Her own Words'

[SensusFidelium]

Great book!  Read it back in 2010 when I was reverting back.  Thank you very much for your honest intellectualism!

[kainosktisis]

With all that's going on right now in the Church, I needed to hear this. Thank you.

[johnchung]

I gotta say this and that is Rod Bennet should make more catholic videos for he is truly truly gifted from above, having said that I really hope that Jesus Christ will send more speakers like him in his One Holy Apostolic Catholic Christian Church of Traditional Teachings and Worship throughout the whole world Amen Amen Amen Deo Gratis 🙏🐑🕊️🔥✨

[sibergirl]

This helped me so much in dealing with the times we are living in. Seems like the more things change the more they stay the same, yet, the Church is still here! ❤️

Excellent. Very well researched and explained

[littlemac]

Thank you so much! Stuff like this really does rekindle the flame of Christ within me! I love being Catholic! Thank you!

[RumorHazi]

This is awesome info. I rode with a group to this place. I was the ONLY Catholic in the group (so I mostly kept my head down!). I wish I had seen your video before the ride. Not that I would have stood on the 30 ft Bible and rebuked them but it would have been good to know for private conversations with some. I have read your book on the subject and I really enjoy and appreciate your work. Thanks!
