Dr. Travis Lacy's Catholic Conversion

Protestants make great Catholics

My father became a catholic while he was in WWII he said that the men who were catholic had the most bravery and seemed to know that they were there to fight for our freedom and our country, and if they died they knew where they were going.

It's incredible how similar so many of our stories of conversion are. My own story is similar to Keith & Travis in the search for fuller truth, coming from a "non-denominational" church background. Two years ago I closed the doors to a church that I pastored because I was on the road home to Rome. Easter vigil 2023 was one of the happiest, most fulfilling days of my life. Pax Christi!

As a new Catholic convert I do deeply appreciate all that my protestant upbringing taught me.

Convert from Tulsa, OK here! Yes, this area is a whole different level of non Catholics and anti Catholics! Praise God he led me to the fullness of the faith!

As a son, grandson, nephew and cousin of sincere and faithful Baptist Pastors, I was incorporated in the Catholic Church in 2022 after reading and studying the Church Fathers. They were Catholic and had a deep communion with Christ through the Eucharist and shared in the communion of Saints. I felt I needed more of the communion of the Body of Christ within the Body of Christ. As a Law Professor I was lucky enough to have a very intelligent, educated and saint-like Catholic colleague (who is now a justice in the Portuguese Constitutional Court) who helped me in overcoming my hostility towards the Catholic Church. My wife and youngest son joined me and were also incorporated in the Catholic Church. In the end of the day we were all surprised and keep all this in our hearts.

As a cradle Catholic I loved this interview, thinking about sharing with some of my non Catholic friends and my fallen away Catholic family. Thank you Keith and Dr. Lacy.

This is an excellent interview! Dr Lacy is such an intelligent and thoughtful man. We are so lucky to have men like the both of you in the Catholic faith. Praise God and peace be with you both

This literally brought me to tears when he talks about his painfully and humbling conversion. I pray each day for conversion of a couple family members.

I’m similar! I was a Jehovah’s Witnesses and I’m greatful for that experience because it lead me to the Catholic faith. I remember one of my first conversation stories of a Protestant to Catholicism was Keith’s!! So thank you both!! Your examples are much appreciated 😊🎉

This was so good. As a current evangelical who regularly attends a non-denominational church, this man's upbringing and experience are very similar to mine. I've been exploring catholicism for the last year now. Reading books, watching so many videos, and listening to the catechism in a year podcast. I definitely feel the pull. But it is scary, and there are dogmas i still don't understand. I am looking forward to more of these stories.

At the 57 min mark, I could not agree more! so thankful for my Lutheran upbringing and literally Pentecostal/Baptist “born again “ experience in 1996 along with all the seriously wonderful protestant, pastors and experiences taught me to love Jesus and the Bible so much despite the very evangelical anti-Catholic stereotypes that came along. I think because of all that passion, I now have the most incredible appreciation of the fullness that the Catholic faith has to offer since being confirmed in 2023. Thank you Keith for all you do. Side note, I used to be a huge John Piper fan back in the day. Very grateful my parents have actually been very supportive, but I have lots of extended family members and friends. Quite frankly are not even interested in listening. It breaks my heart because it’s just so good ❤️ but God works in mysterious ways so we keep praying for unity in the Church as Jesus prayed 🙏.

Thanks for this Keith. It's taken an ex protestant to teach me not to take the Catholic tradition for granted. God bless your ministry.

Keith u did an excellent job interviewing Dr. Travis Lacy. Truly warms my Catholic (previously Protestant) heart.❤❤❤ Looking forward to lots more of these Testimonials, Keith. God Bless. Pax Vobiscum. Semper Fidelis. Aaahhhmain. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💟💟💟

I resonate so much with this testimonial. I'm a recent Trad Catholic convert, from Lutheran and Baptist before that. So much Truth here. I wish all protestants would listen to this.

Most of the people I have met from Hillsdale are Catholic converts and they are INCREDIBLE!

I recently started participating in an adult Catholic catechism class that our priest started (God bless him) and was blown away by how much I'd forgotten and how much I had no idea existed. Our faith is so much deeper and more vast than I had even imagined. Despite the church's flaws and the disturbing things coming out of the Vatican lately I can only repeat what Peter said "Where else would I go?"

Great interview I like Dr. Travis Lacy. You’re my favourite Catholic YouTuber. I’m a recent convert from Atheism. Peace from Australia

I am thankful for the great Catholic witnesses that helped them consider learning the beauty of our Faith.

Dr Lacy’s point about the anti-Catholic bigotry being so ingrained in many protestants dna is spot on!!! Anti-Catholic bigotry is the only form of publicly acceptable bigotry left. I wear my Catholic faith like a badge of honor
