Why I Became Catholic

Описание: For a long time, I thought being Catholic was just something I was, not something I chose.

I grew up Catholic, but if I’m being honest, my faith was mostly cultural. I went through the motions, received the sacraments, and knew the label, but Jesus felt distant. The first time I truly encountered Him was actually outside of the Catholic Church, and that experience changed everything.

It also forced a question I couldn’t ignore anymore:

Does it actually matter which Church Jesus wants us to be part of?

This video isn’t about debating or tearing anyone down. It’s not about proving Protestants wrong or saying Catholics are better. It’s simply me sharing my story honestly, including the doubts, the searching, and the moments I didn’t expect.

In this video, I talk about:

What my faith looked like growing up Catholic

How I encountered Jesus outside the Church

Why relying only on my own interpretation of Scripture eventually left me anxious

How questions about truth, authority, and the Eucharist led me back to Catholicism

And what becoming Catholic has actually cost me, socially and spiritually

You don’t have to agree with everything I say. My hope is just that you watch this with an open heart. Whether you’re Catholic, Protestant, unsure, or somewhere in between, I hope this encourages you to take your faith seriously and to honestly seek truth wherever it leads.

If this video helps even one person wrestle with these questions instead of avoiding them, then it’s worth sharing.

Thanks for being here, and thanks for watching.
