Off topic and late for the party but, up for a challenge. 67 year old woman here. Totally agree with your take on woman comedians not being funny. I do have one exception, Kathleen Madigan, Don’t bother Jesus. Very funny, check it out.
I'm a protestant pastor and I must say that, doctrinal differences aside, I love these two men and the work they do. This channel truly operates in a manner that glorifies God. Keep it up, Matt!
The thing is we also need political commentators who have a Catholic moral compass that bring reason to non-Catholics. If Knowles we're to be more outspoken about Catholicism on his show, it's possible that he would have a smaller non-Catholic viewership. It would be great if he went on more Catholic shows like this; but I think his show has to stay the way it is.
26 year old Catholic latina watching here. I’ve been working on the process of undoing the indoctrination from going to San Diego State University. Please keep doing these vids! I’ve learned more from these channels than from 4 years of “higher education” 😂😂
I was lucky and raised Catholic. I was never an atheist. But I was a drug addict for 19 years. I got sober and went back to church in non denominational Christian for a few years and went back to the Catholic, no regrets. I love the Catholic church and the traditional.
Your story is so similar to mines, raised catholic and left the church for many years, i was a drug addict for 18years and have been clean now for a over a year and now back with the Catholic church going several times a week to mass taking up all sacraments , frequent confessions. And started doing the rosary. All Glory to God 🙏🏻💙
My fiancé and I recently converted back to Catholicism after a good 17 years of being agnostic/atheist, so I very strongly relate to so much of Michael’s journey and testimony. I completely agree that the liturgy and customs have suffered. I left the church shortly after Catholic High School as a result of a dumbed down catechesis. It was only after delving into the writings of the early church fathers and listening to intellectual and spiritual figure heads like Jordan Peterson and Bishop Barron speak on the subject of the scriptures and implicit meaning that I began to slowly start to uncover the truth.
Matt Fradd and Michael Knowles are my favorite podcasters! I watched them both everyday leading up to my baptism into the Church last year. I never knew how much this collab was needed, Praise be to God!
We need an all Catholic version of Daily Wire backstage. My lineup is Matt Fradd, Michael Knowles, Matt Walsh, Brian Holdsworth, Tim Gordon, Trent Horn.
Wanted to add that I absolutely love the “Another Kingdom” trilogy. I listened to all three seasons while my family was down with the flu this fall, and was completely blown away!
@@christopherlampman5579 Praying for you and yours! May God bless you, keep you, and give you grace, guidance, and peace. 🙏 I have a friend who was jewish, she converted, and fell in love with catholicism. Highly recommend it if you're thinking about converting.
Out of everyone on the DailyWire, I love Michael’s point of view. He is charitable and yet unwavering. I feel like often it is one or the other. I love the other shows, but listening to him talk in this video, I was like, “YES! This is how I feel!”
Michael is way smarter than I think people give him credit.. not that he acts unintelligent, he just has a humor and personality that intermingles with his intellect. Brilliant, God bless yall
Grew up in an atheist household, found Christ in January this year in a Baptist church. Learned about church history and Sola Scriptura and the protestantism immediately left my body
This is hands down the best interview Matt has ever done. Knowles is an awesome conversationalist with admirable breadth and depth of knowledge. This was very enjoyable.
Michael is 3 days older than my oldest daughter (who sadly was killed last year in an armed robbery) But I am amazed at how he escaped pitfalls of his generation. I pray it is a trend.
Thank you so much for having Michael on. I'm a 35 year old Trad Catholic convert from Protestantism with a wife and two kids. Love your show Matt. Love Knowles. I've thoroughly enjoyed this conversation so much and I've learned a great deal as well.
I have been waiting my entire life for this duo 😂 But no for real Michael Knowles is my favorite DW host and one of my favorite commentators. I love how he brings the Catholic view and teachings to his beliefs and stands on politics. *Perfection* Thank you Matt!
Most of us full converts, came back into our faith after a life of sin. Hearing others testimonies makes me feel better, then I think of the saints and their lives not all we’re living in faith most were living in sin. Take saint Francis of Assisi for instance, he even claims to have been living in sin up until the lord called him to live amongst the lepers that he went I to full conversion. He was already a friar but still considered himself sinful. We all are but as long as we don’t stray from the truth, and we have come to full conversion that’s all that matters, peace all good. 🌻🙏🏽💙
Sometimes I just let the podcasts play while I am sleeping, and somehow I always wake up to this one! One of my all time favorite conversations, good job gentlemen!! Nothing better than a pair of distinguished Christian gentlemen!
Michael Knowles is my favorite most mainstream commentator. Thank you so much for doing this. Also, Matt thank you so much for making the post about "Black Catholic Chick"' channel. I agreed with you that she is awesome! Her video "I'm a Black Woman and this is Why I'm Catholic" is amazing! And she recently did a video on Mother Mary and intercessory pray, which I think many of us Catholic in comment sections would appreciate whenever we bring up the Rosary because I think it could help so many people! God bless you Matt Fradd.
So I've been listening to the intro music for over half an hour now and I must say I really enjoy this so far. And no matter how beautiful this super long intro melody is I can't wait to hear your beautiful God given voices. God bless you Matt and Michael!
Im feeling led to convert to Catholicism partially due to this conversation and others by Matt Fradd. I’m struggling with how to tell my Protestant family and church family. Pray for me 🙏
The Holy Spirit is leading you like many others. Trust in the Lord. Jesus wants to give you so much more than you can imagine...no matter how heavy the cross is to bear...you will not regret. ❤
I wouldn't recommend it. Michael could run circles around the average Protestant but ultimately the best Protestants will run circles around Michael. I came into religion from being an atheist and evaluating the two side by side I consistently found Protestants to be making the better arguments. It seems that most arguments for Catholicism boil down to an appeal to manmade doctrine, authority, and traditions that have been elevated to the level of Scripture.
You shouldn’t have to struggle, all protestants were once Catholics before the reformation. You are just returning back to the church of your ancestors that came before you. Good luck with your journey.
Listening to you talk about bringing your wife to Mass made me smile. I ventured on a whim out from our NO parish to a TLM one Sunday when my husband was working (mostly out of desperation because I was disgusted with the “Eagles Wings” felt banner culture of my NO parish). I remember calling him and saying, “Um, listen, we gotta change parishes. Like next week. Just trust me.” I too thought he would be as blown away as I was by the TLM. He wasn’t, but thankfully he warmed up to it and did agree to change. Now if we have to go to our old parish (our goddaughter is there still) he is as annoyed and restless as I am lol. For some of us the TLM is just this glaringly beautiful, mystical, reverent place immediately. I think for others they are so shocked they don’t know how to react; it’s almost unbelievable that it’s the same religion if you don’t understand the history. I imagine if you didn’t tell a non-Catholic where you were taking them and took them to both the NO and the TLM and just stood and observed, they wouldn’t think it was the same faith. Which makes it all the more sad that the Church changed the liturgy that drastically after Vat II. Great video!
It was nice to hear a little bit of talk about Mr. Knowles' parish (which is also my parish). We've seen each other there - he'd recognize me as the balding middle-aged guy with grizzled long hair and a long grizzled goatee. Two or three Sundays ago I thought that I saw Matt Walsh in the parish office building (where Masses are currently held) searching for someone or something. Matt, if you come to Nashville, there are a boatload of orthodox Catholics who'd want to meet you... and they'd probably want Mr. Knowles and Mr. Walsh to show up also.
@@VikoTheBassist In case you haven’t identified me yet, I got my hair and goatee cut short several weeks ago. The parishioners are still buzzing about it (which astounds me).
Listening to Michael’s conversion story made me remember a film I watched a couple of weeks ago called ‘A Most Reluctant Convert’. It’s the story of C S Lewis’s conversion in his own words; and the film is really well made. I definitely recommend it!
@Deston Swan Only God can condemn, and all rely on God's mercy for salvation That said, birth control does nothing but create a pornified culture of sexualized people, while also convincing people to sterilize themselves for the good of the Liberal capitalist system. The mammon-hungry beast needs compliant workers who are more interested in sex and money than higher things. Homosexuality and divorce erode (or more specifically, have eroded) the foundational structure of a stable society, namely the marital union of man/woman and any children that arise from it. Finally, separation of church and state is a convenient myth bandied about by Liberal societies to assert religious indifferentism. All actions of the state are, de-facto, moral imperatives derived from the value systems of the governed. There is no "separation of church and state" to respect, it is an incoherent position that cannot be exercised. Sincerely, we Catholics who already understand these things
@Deston Swan Dear Deston, Stop hanging around Catholic youtube channels and go live your life, mate! None of the things you mentioned above are illegal, nor have any likelihood of becoming illegal in the west anytime soon, so why don't you just chill and let Catholics believe what they want to believe. Surely you must have something more enlightened to do? Or maybe, just maybe, you're hanging around a Catholic podcast site because you really want to convinced that all of the above-listed things are wrong, and that there is a God that loves you and wants good for you. Either way, these sorts of comments are a silly waste of time.
The reverence and the seriousness of the liturgy and tradition of the faith, reinforces the depth of Catholicism's validity. Where else can you find this in the world? It's so needed and so fulfilling. And so beautiful!
I'd like to hear more about what convinced Michael about the blessed Virgin Mary and Saints. Also loved his collaboration with Andrew Klavan on Another Kingdom. Hope DW+ makes it into a show or movie, even if its in animation!
Could be the results.i mean there are tens of thousands of miracles bestowed by God,thru the intercessions of Virgin Mary and the Saints.Im one of the benefeciaries.Was homeless for 2 yrs ,when i was a teen.Prayed to Virgin Mary to help me find people who would adopt me and send me back to school.two days ,after a family adopted me and sent me to a prominent University. Been working in the medical field for decades already.all of my success commenced with a simple prayer to His Mother.It was Jesus who bestowed me the miracle,thru His and our mother too!
Awesome that Matt mentions the Hitchens VS Craig debate. That was a big one for me too. Hitch had some killer rhetoric and charm but Craig just dismantled his arguments with logic! Great conversation all in all, thanks fellas! - A Protestant Christian
Totally agree with Michael on free speech absolutism. It has never been the Catholic position to allow absolute free speech. As Pope Gregory XVI said, "Error has no rights."
Thank you so much! I'm very appreciative of both Matt Fradd's contribution and Michael Knowles' contribution to the topics of Conservatism, Catholicism and Good Cigars! 😊
In regards to escaping CA, God blessedmy family as we all moved from CA.... my son-in-law had to rent a UHaul in Arizona, he had arranged to get it on the way home from a trip. when he went to pickit up they didn't have what he had ordered , and told him the nearest one was in Santee CA... he graciously accepted (as he was moving from La Mesa CA which is the neighboring city)
I love the fact that Michael can talk about politics and I don’t always understand things he says but I sort of get the gist of his what he is saying, but if I listen to him about Catholic religion, even though I am 67 years old, and I left Catholicism at age 13, I understand everything he say’s about the mass, not sort of but everything, so there is no divide of age (67) or location. (Melbourne, Australia) so a golden thread is uniting all of us together. THAT is God. Amen 😄 blessings guys.
This was so good for my quiet 2½ ride home just now! Michael if you're ever in rochester NY, there's a Latin mass here but I HIGHLY recommend sacred heart Cathedral 😊 I drive by like 15 Catholic Churches every Sunday to go THERE its wonderful!
I was so pleasantly surprised at his well thought-out process to decide his journey. I was Catholic am now reformed Christian but I absolutely applaud his thinking process and his openness. Great podcast
Wonderfully intertaining interview. By the end I was convinced of the necessity to support, economically, content creators that can help restore the world that I want to live in
I have been protestant all my life, and from first hearing Gregorian Chant, the Latin chant, i was hooked. So I have never understood the changing of the liturgy and dropping the Latin chant. I definitely would prefer the old liturgy and it's beauty. I even have a copy of the pre Vatican II Liber Usualis of Gregorian Chant. And long ago in Englad found a couple of old missals. So where holds a Latin mass these days? I am in piedmont NC.
Cigars vs marijuana Both affect your mood Both make you think things you believe are profound The difference is, when the high ends, it’s no longer profound/you don’t remember When a cigar burns out, your thoughts stay with you
I absolutely agree with all this. Specifically, as an orthodox Lutheran, I find it incredibly difficult to find reverent churches that use the sacred liturgy and take the Mass seriously. The Lutheran church has a massive problem with worship-entertainment and performances in the Mass. Enjoy listening to your podcasts Matt! Thank you for your content!
Michael, Your analogies of two x chromosomes vs. "sugar and spice and everything nice" reminds me of a tome of the late Fr. Francis Martin, Adjunct professor of Theology at Franciscan U. He would expound upon during his homilies the difference between explaining and understanding. The explanation of why the lake only freezes on the surface is that somewhere between 34 and 32 degrees, the water molecules form into a matrix that traps air causing the ice to float. The understanding is that it's how God protects the fish in winter.
I go to a Dominican Parish. The church is very beautiful and the priests are very good priests and they have many standards that they are very good at enforcing (boy alter servers only, only priests give communion, etc.) and these standards attract a lot of families and young couples but the only problem is is that it is also a Novus ordo church. But every once in a while they hold the traditional Dominican Rite mass all in Latin and it is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. I just wish they only do that mass every Sunday I go.
This was such a great show! I enjoyed Michael's political commentary because he has such a unique and beautiful way of seeing things. Mere Christianity has always been on my reading list but I want to pick it up more than ever after this show. Does anyone know if they're still offering the rosary for new locals supporters? I'm a student, so I've never invested in a subscription but being able to give my dad or godfather one of those beautiful rosaries for Christmas would probably justify it for me.
A woman is a helpmate. A man is a mate deserving of a woman’s help. (Mom of 5 sons, married for 37 years. This is oversimplified, but felt it needed some “author’s context” 😊😅.)
Detraction is use of a public forum to belittle a person's accomplishments - perhaps making jokes or demeaning comments in the individual's presence. Thats not what Michael does. He calls out evil, which is different
Stunning quote by Fr. Rutler about vaudeville jokes. It's the second time I've heard him quoted recently, I definitely need to find some of his writings. How have I missed it so far?
Hola muchachos, Dios los bendiga en tan hermoso apostolado. Quisiera haber tenido esa inteligencia emocional para hacer lo que ustedes hacen. Toda mi juventud en grupo de jóvenes cristianos católicos cambiando vidas, salvando almas y me fui al mundo y estudie en Penn State y muy intelectual, fui hacer trabajo y dinero pero me perdí en el mundo, por poco pierdo mi familia y llevó 7 años de vuelta haciendo lo que el Señor siempre quiso que hiciera. Dios los bendiga en tan encomiable apostolado y les de mucha salud del cuerpo y del alma. Hello guys, God bless you in such a beautiful apostolate. I wish I had had that emotional intelligence to do what you do. All my youth in a group of young Catholic Christians changing lives, saving souls and I went into the world and studied at Penn State and very intellectual, I went to make work and money but I got lost in the world, I almost lost my family and it took 7 years of back doing what the Lord always wanted me to do. May God bless you in such a commendable apostolate and give you good health of body and soul.
When I moved out of Monterey, CA I ended up paying $6k for an 8 foot Pod...just like Michael said the trucks are leaving California and not going back. It was money well spent to leave California.
Wow, what a show. A massive thanks to everyone for watching. Please consider sharing on social.
Have you had 100 supports on Locals yet Matt? Checky, but I wanna know if I am in that 100 if I support now, or if I've missed the giveaway.
We need a catholic backstage,...Urgently

Fantastic you should consider having my head master Dr. Joshua Russell on the show I imagine it would be a very edifying conversation

I sometimes think Knowles' intellect is somewhat wasted on his own show. He's much more interesting in contexts like these.
So true, on his show he just talks about politics. I this side of Michael.
Totally agree.
He should definitely bring in Catholicism more often on his daily show.
The thing is we also need political commentators who have a Catholic moral compass that bring reason to non-Catholics. If Knowles we're to be more outspoken about Catholicism on his show, it's possible that he would have a smaller non-Catholic viewership. It would be great if he went on more Catholic shows like this; but I think his show has to stay the way it is.
His show is a political show and not a religious show. We need both and Knowles provides the political.
I am stunned that Michael is only 32. His intellect and ability to articulate himself is incredible.
Whenever I realize how young he is I suddenly feel much older 😂
I feel older and dumber 😮
It’s unfortunate that most individuals don’t try to speak eloquently, and therefore the English language has had a pitfall.
I am SHOCKED Michael Knowles is 32 !!!! He is so wise beyond his years so much respect for him.
He went to Yale when it still meant something

The reverence and the seriousness of the liturgy and tradition of the faith, reinforces the depth of Catholicism's validity. Where else can you find this in the world? It's so needed and so fulfilling. And so beautiful!
I have a lot of PWA favorite episodes but this one just moved to the top. Well done, gentleman. Very well rounded and grounded discussion indeed.
I ‘m a yearly subscriber to both all access Daily Wire + and Matt Fradd best information around!
Michael is one of the sharpest minds I've ever encountered.
“I believe in order to understand”. St. Augustine
I'd like to hear more about what convinced Michael about the blessed Virgin Mary and Saints. Also loved his collaboration with Andrew Klavan on Another Kingdom. Hope DW+ makes it into a show or movie, even if its in animation!
Could be the results.i mean there are tens of thousands of miracles bestowed by God,thru the intercessions of Virgin Mary and the Saints.Im one of the benefeciaries.Was homeless for 2 yrs ,when i was a teen.Prayed to Virgin Mary to help me find people who would adopt me and send me back to school.two days ,after a family adopted me and sent me to a prominent University. Been working in the medical field for decades already.all of my success commenced with a simple prayer to His Mother.It was Jesus who bestowed me the miracle,thru His and our mother too!
Knowles is one of the few political commentators who I CAN still listen to
I didn’t realize Knowles is such an interesting person-one with great depth!
I love Fr. Rutler!
Thank you Michael & Matt for helping stitch our beautiful Church back together. The disparate approaches are disturbing.
Awesome that Matt mentions the Hitchens VS Craig debate.
That was a big one for me too.
Hitch had some killer rhetoric and charm but Craig just dismantled his arguments with logic!
Great conversation all in all, thanks fellas!
- A Protestant Christian
DW should turn Knowles wordless book into a movie. The public has been asking for it.
Totally agree with Michael on free speech absolutism. It has never been the Catholic position to allow absolute free speech. As Pope Gregory XVI said, "Error has no rights."
This is one of your best interviews Matt!! Thank you. I’m heading to Locals to watch the rest.
Michael is the only Dailywire host I can stand. Great conversation.
Is Matt Walsh too much of a wiseacre for you?
@@synkhronyze1796 Honestly I just haven't seen much of him, perhaps I should give him more of a chance.
@@bumponalog5001 I highly recommend his early videos about the Church and Christianity.
@@synkhronyze1796 It’s the beard that gets me. That thing looks way too greasy.
@@rafiki1017 I suppose it's all that sweat from carrying The Daily Wire.
Thank you so much! I'm very appreciative of both Matt Fradd's contribution and Michael Knowles' contribution to the topics of Conservatism, Catholicism and Good Cigars! 😊
Wow, this was a delight to watch! Definitely need more conversations like these. I enjoyed listening to every topic discussed.
Thank You for the stream and interview! ❤ ❤ ❤
Never knew Michael was Sicilian. I'm part Siciliian but if you asked my grandpa I'm 100% Sicilian.😂
In regards to escaping CA, God blessedmy family as we all moved from CA.... my son-in-law had to rent a UHaul in Arizona, he had arranged to get it on the way home from a trip. when he went to pickit up they didn't have what he had ordered , and told him the nearest one was in Santee CA... he graciously accepted (as he was moving from La Mesa CA which is the neighboring city)
I fully endorse this! :) I still remember when Matt came on my show. What an honour that was!
I love the fact that Michael can talk about politics and I don’t always understand things he says but I sort of get the gist of his what he is saying, but if I listen to him about Catholic religion, even though I am 67 years old, and I left Catholicism at age 13, I understand everything he say’s about the mass, not sort of but everything, so there is no divide of age (67) or location. (Melbourne, Australia) so a golden thread is uniting all of us together. THAT is God. Amen 😄 blessings guys.
Wow, his view on sex vs gender was amazing. I think much better than Walsh's definition from his documentary. I like the idea of duty.
This was so good for my quiet 2½ ride home just now! Michael if you're ever in rochester NY, there's a Latin mass here but I HIGHLY recommend sacred heart Cathedral 😊 I drive by like 15 Catholic Churches every Sunday to go THERE its wonderful!
I choked up when Michael talked about Norm MacDonald. He was and is one of my favorite comedians of all time.
Love Michael Walsh! That’s why I’m here!
One of those social media types started a "pastor's story hour" at his local library and I think we could use more of that.
I was so pleasantly surprised at his well thought-out process to decide his journey. I was Catholic am now reformed Christian but I absolutely applaud his thinking process and his openness. Great podcast
Wonderfully intertaining interview. By the end I was convinced of the necessity to support, economically, content creators that can help restore the world that I want to live in
I love Michaels conversion story
I have been protestant all my life, and from first hearing Gregorian Chant, the Latin chant, i was hooked.
So I have never understood the changing of the liturgy and dropping the Latin chant.
I definitely would prefer the old liturgy and it's beauty.
I even have a copy of the pre Vatican II Liber Usualis of Gregorian Chant.
And long ago in Englad found a couple of old missals.
So where holds a Latin mass these days?
I am in piedmont NC.
I met Father Rutler while attending St. Michael’s, too! He’s so wonderful ❤️✝️🙏🏻
Cigars vs marijuana
Both affect your mood
Both make you think things you believe are profound
The difference is, when the high ends, it’s no longer profound/you don’t remember
When a cigar burns out, your thoughts stay with you
Cannabis is far better than cigars.
Maybe CBD but definitely not THC
The off ramp is to ask God for forgiveness,obey His laws, and pray for healing.
One of my favourite podcast episodes - you and Michael bounce off of each other so brilliantly! 😊
I absolutely agree with all this. Specifically, as an orthodox Lutheran, I find it incredibly difficult to find reverent churches that use the sacred liturgy and take the Mass seriously. The Lutheran church has a massive problem with worship-entertainment and performances in the Mass. Enjoy listening to your podcasts Matt! Thank you for your content!
❤
If only this went on longer, like wayyy longer... (it was just that good).
I have been waiting for this one!
Edit your videos! Why would you keep the first 40 mins?
What a great conversation, thank you both!
Michael,
Your analogies of two x chromosomes vs. "sugar and spice and everything nice" reminds me of a tome of the late Fr. Francis Martin, Adjunct professor of Theology at Franciscan U. He would expound upon during his homilies the difference between explaining and understanding. The explanation of why the lake only freezes on the surface is that somewhere between 34 and 32 degrees, the water molecules form into a matrix that traps air causing the ice to float. The understanding is that it's how God protects the fish in winter.
I really really like this. ❤
1:50:09 Ohh Matt... If you only knew how prophetic that phrase would be.
I go to a Dominican Parish. The church is very beautiful and the priests are very good priests and they have many standards that they are very good at enforcing (boy alter servers only, only priests give communion, etc.) and these standards attract a lot of families and young couples but the only problem is is that it is also a Novus ordo church. But every once in a while they hold the traditional Dominican Rite mass all in Latin and it is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. I just wish they only do that mass every Sunday I go.
This was such a great show! I enjoyed Michael's political commentary because he has such a unique and beautiful way of seeing things. Mere Christianity has always been on my reading list but I want to pick it up more than ever after this show. Does anyone know if they're still offering the rosary for new locals supporters? I'm a student, so I've never invested in a subscription but being able to give my dad or godfather one of those beautiful rosaries for Christmas would probably justify it for me.
Thank you both … +Daily Wire ✨🙌🏼✨ for your great work (excellent Candy Bars 2 😊) … Amen ✨🙏🏼✨
Daily wire is absolute garbage. It's not news, it's propaganda.

I already am a huge fan of Michael Knowles, but his love for Port Wine just seals the deal for me.
This is exactly what we needed. I love Knowles.
Detraction is use of a public forum to belittle a person's accomplishments - perhaps making jokes or demeaning comments in the individual's presence.
Thats not what Michael does. He calls out evil, which is different
Stunning quote by Fr. Rutler about vaudeville jokes. It's the second time I've heard him quoted recently, I definitely need to find some of his writings. How have I missed it so far?
Yes William Lane Craig destroying Hitchens was also the moment I realized the Atheists were not truly intellectual.
1:59:10 "Sometimes you can have good experiences alone." I thought the Catholic Church was against that...
Hola muchachos, Dios los bendiga en tan hermoso apostolado. Quisiera haber tenido esa inteligencia emocional para hacer lo que ustedes hacen. Toda mi juventud en grupo de jóvenes cristianos católicos cambiando vidas, salvando almas y me fui al mundo y estudie en Penn State y muy intelectual, fui hacer trabajo y dinero pero me perdí en el mundo, por poco pierdo mi familia y llevó 7 años de vuelta haciendo lo que el Señor siempre quiso que hiciera. Dios los bendiga en tan encomiable apostolado y les de mucha salud del cuerpo y del alma.
Hello guys, God bless you in such a beautiful apostolate. I wish I had had that emotional intelligence to do what you do. All my youth in a group of young Catholic Christians changing lives, saving souls and I went into the world and studied at Penn State and very intellectual, I went to make work and money but I got lost in the world, I almost lost my family and it took 7 years of back doing what the Lord always wanted me to do. May God bless you in such a commendable apostolate and give you good health of body and soul.
I very much enjoyed this! Can you have all the DW guys on??
1:38:43 That has been me too. Thank God for the daily wire.
Deo Gratias! 💜💛 🙌
This man is deeply closeted ❤
Glad I'm not the only one who thought that.
God bless you always Michael.
When I moved out of Monterey, CA I ended up paying $6k for an 8 foot Pod...just like Michael said the trucks are leaving California and not going back. It was money well spent to leave California.
