When I heard on the video that Fr Mike needed donations to build the church, I stopped the video and went to the website to see how to support him. They have a suggested amount of support, so I donated for myself as well as for four other people who would like to help, but are not able to make a donation. Fr Mike has been an integral part of this 74 year old renewing my Catholic faith, and through his teaching in Catechism in a Year, has brought me to my first reconciliation in 52 years just four short months ago. The peace and freedom from the weight of sin being lifted from me that I’ve carried all those years is beyond belief. God is so good to use people like you, Fr Mike, and the young confessor who helped me make a good confession, to spread the message that he loves each and every one of us, and only wants the very best for us. God Bless you and Fr Mike, and may he give you both many years to spread his love.
Not to boast, but I donated as Fr Mike has brought me so much help in my spiritual life and I can’t thank him enough for all he does! His the hour that will change your life video brought me home to the Catholic Church 3 years ago 🙏🏻 praise be to God
Chris & Fr Mike, Our family were all cradle Catholics, and my parents were good people, and made sure we went to CCD and Church, but did not really teach us to READ and learn the Bible, nor do I think they were instructed that way either. I do not recall our CCD classes teaching us Scripture either. We were told to listen to the Word of God in Vhurch, and I always thought the Bible was more or less a reference guide and a history of our Faith. As an adult I went to our RCIA classes to learn more, and do know read my Bible. Many of my Protestant friends have always been dedicated to learning and memorizing Scripture. I am not condemning my parents nor the Church, nor the Teachers. I assume that somehow gradually how our Faith was taught in the USA change until it lost the importance of Reading the Bible. Fr Mike your Bible in a year, has been a God send, and I will be forever grateful to you and you Chris for all I have learned. Thank you so much! kathy
Kathy, after reading your thoughtful comments, I’m wondering if it couldn’t have something to do perhaps with the immigrant generation reaching a time of *breaking?* where they knew their religion in their old world language, but the children only spoke English. They couldn’t study, or even read, Scripture together. Just my thought
Jaw dropped within the first ten minutes watching. Absolutely beautiful and genuinely mind-blowing. The Father's love just baffles me. As a member of the younger Catholic community, thank you both for sharing and thank you for visiting these topics. Thank you, Fr. Mike for your priesthood. Praying for both of you amazing men and the wonderful things God has called you to.
Thank you Chris and Fr Mike Schmitz for your candid conversations. It was ALL amazing. Let's keep praying for our young adults and loving them where they are at.❤
Thank you Chris and team and for Father Mike. Yes donated!! We are so grateful for all you give to the world and how you guide us to live a life of Christ in Christ. God bless you.
It’s so true that the material you guys produce is what we, the people on the ground around the world, use to bring those around us closer to God. So keep on doing what you’re doing. I’ve been giving little workshops using The Search to friends, family, and people the Lord has been putting on my way and it’s been incredibly effective. I’m also in seminary, on fire for the Lord, and your guys’ materials have been super helpful for my own personal growth as well🙏
Thank you both so much. Love you and praying for you. Its very hard when you’re out there all alone, you’re the only one on this Faith journey, not your daughter and son-in-law, your sisters are your and their husbands, and I want so much to bring my family in on this journey. It’s very hard when you’re the only one I am doing my best but Sometimes very stressful when you’re the only only one. I’ll do my best this Thanksgiving and remember both of your words. Blessings and grace.
What do we do now that our kids are graduated and they have gone this way? I just pray now. I wish I had known earlier. I tried to do everything. It still happened. Remember what Padre Pio said, "pray hope and don't worry". God bless
Sometimes all you need to do is ask the "nones" to attend a service. Not by shouting at them or telling them they're going to h*ll, but by just speaking normally. Invite them to a service or a fun event. Sometimes that's all it takes. 5 years of college, only one person ever asked me to come to a worship service with them. (My friend asked me if I wanted to go to Synagogue with him. I'm not Jewish but it was still very interesting to attend.)
Chris, Fr. Mike's analogy about the candle was spot on. Tell Fr. Mike to write a book titled, "The Fifth Candle" based on what he said in this video. That would be so amazing!!! Keep up the great work. I plan to become a Missionary of Joy soon.
Cue 15:30 - "God is 'only' good" - That describes me 35 years ago, at 40 years of age. Growing up, my mom took us to church "to introduce us" to what "some people" believe. In high school, she let us decide for ourselves who God was. With a driver's license, we went for the youth group fun events. God did not go with us. College? Freed from "religion," I didn't care whether God was or was not real. Life was good...or at least OK. I didn't care enough to declare he didn't exist. I just didn't care. Based on my entire life today, as a Christian, I attribute my past indifference to: 1) a lack of belief in anything I couldn't see/hear/touch, 2) a disinterest in where the world (universe) came from...any power great enough to create the world, 3) my own self-importance as the center of truth and life.
Sure. You'll be believed. This is God. I will bring the people to another activity, cut and paste world, to put the things they think the world should be.
You two are changing the world one soul at a time. Thank you for leading the charge. I pray for you both every single day.❤❤❤❤

Nobody's ever going to get in your way.
Interview yourself, date yourself,
And all riled up about this.
Are we ever going to move on from this ? What could the world look like?
God?
Very funny. The world is round. About the lense.
Return to the Traditional Latin Mass
How difficult it would be to I terview yourself.
Chris that greek dawn joke was terrible. Otherwise great video!
Thank you, God bless! 🤍Side note - How many coffees does Father Mike drink per day? 🤔
😂
😂😂😂
