My Conversion Story (Catholic Conversion Story of Bryan Mercier!) 

What an inspirational testimony! Thank you, Bryan! I'm sure it's giving a lot of hope to so many mothers who are now praying, weeping, and sacrificing for their sons. God bless you and your family!

It is only when we ask God with all humility to work in our lives that we receive this beautiful gift from the Holy Spirit.

Please pray for my Son David, He went to church if I asked, all of his time after his work stay only and play computer game, He is 25 yrs old. Thank you Sir Bryan.❤❤❤. .

So glad you said "Yes" to God Bryan.

I was raised Catholic until I was 12, then my family for their own reasons decided to become Protestant. For many years I was indoctrinated with teachings against Catholicism and believed we were all better off being Protestant. As a Protestant I did encounter Christ and was in charismatic/Pentecostal circles for years. I really encountered the Holy Spirit in these times and I know what you mean when you talk about the fire of God because I too have experienced this. I have a Bible degree from an Assembly of God Bible college and after I graduated, I took time to pause and reflect and really look into church history. It was in my own brushing up on church history that I was led back to the one true Catholic Church. It wasn’t an easy road, and some of my family and friends aren’t too happy with me, but I know this is the will of God and I am so thankful for the sacraments in addition to my passion for the Lord. I loved every minute of this video!

Interrsting, about holding up your arms, i have a somewhat similar story. When my dad was dying, i arrived first and my sister's flight was delayed. I was by his bedside praying for 2 miracles, for her to arrive before he died and a catholic priest to arrive for last rites even though he wasnt catholic. I was so exhausted, Id hardly slept in 2 days. Then I remembered Moses holding his arms up during battle. Anyway, i stood up, put my hands up like a funnel. I prayed harder for hours. It actually seemed easier! The priest arrived 3 hours later, i did an emergency baptism bc he was unconscious and wed never been able to verify he was baptised, and the priest did last rites. It was beautiful. Then 2 hours later my sister ran through the door, hugged him, said goodbye and he died. I felt like id climbed mount everest! I was so exhausted. I also had a vision of God's throne. I found myself in front of a huge chair and God the father was sitting on it. Now, He looked more like an old man. He said, Why are you here? I asked my question, he answered. I bowed and left.

That's right!, Mothers, pray for your kids (sons and daughters). Mother's prayers are so strong, for some reason God has a priority for those prayers

Thanks for sharing.. 👍👍🙏🙏😁😁🙌🙌

Thank you for sharing your conversion story with us Bryan! I will become a convert soon through RCIA! God bless you and everyone at Catholic Truth!

Thank you Bryant for your inspiring conversion story.

Bryan I am mexican and I glod to hier american testimony God Bless you brother

Bryant is truly fired by his new found faith. God bless.

I really appreciate your sincere talks Brian. You are sure to be responsible for many souls entering heaven. Ave Maria! 🙏🏻

The main problem or one of the main problems seems to be that in times past, the Catholic faith was handed down by one's parents and uncles grandparents etc. When this link was broken due to the family ceasing to be a reliable teacher of the faith there was nothing left to take up the slack. And so a couple of generations were born into the faith but not catechized properly and so never developed a relationship with the Lord, never discovered his love and the beauty of his church. So when we ReDiscover Christ we don't need to become something else like a Protestant or an Evangelical or _whatever._ We can take our newfound love for the Lord and remain in the church, his Body. And in fact this is what all Catholics should do. This is a true journey home, like the journey you are on and many are on. The journey back to God leads directly into the heart of the Church. ❤️🙏♥️

Brilliant Brian. Totally love your energy. God is GOOD!

Amazing Bryan.. 🤝

This guy's phrases and expressions just crack me up 😂😂 so wholesome !! Praise God !

Thank you brian for all that you do for Christ and his beautiful church.. God bless you and your family

Love the man!

What a powerful testimony! The Holy Spirit causes you to explode with the force of dynamite. May the Lord continue to bless you, your family and your ministry.

22:52 I'm also 😭Thank you for sharing your conversion story Bryan. I'm a silent follower of your channel. But Thank you for standing up for the Catholic Church and for the true Faith! God bless you!

Amen!!

Thank You Bryan for your inspiring testimony of your conversion. Keep up the good work you are doing for Christ and His church. God Bless You 🙏🏻

Please say a prayer for my daughter Stefanie. Her water broke two nights ago. As of 1 o'clock this morning, central time, she was going to be induced. I heard she had a rough night last night, but got an epidural this morning and was "feeling better" at around 8 o'clock this morning. Seven hours later, we've heard nothing, her husband, Nathan is with her but I'm sure 100% focused on her and we are not getting any updates. Of course we are all very worried. Any prayer you can offer is appreciated. Thank you.

Jesus told me to return to Mass. In 2018. Which I have done. In fact I serve masses again which I hadn't done since 1991.

Thank you, Bryan. Our Lady, Seat of Wisdom, pray for us.

Amazing Conversion!

Thank you for sharing your testimony Bryan, it was powerful, and at times a tear jerker! I hope to be set ablaze like you brother!

This is mindblowing- for once I am speechless. Bryan thank you,wow.😢😮😂 🙏

Thank you for sharing your story, Bryan. I have told in your channel comments how God took me from Judaism to mere Christianity to the fullness of the Christian faith. So I guess you could call me a born-again Catholic Jew! 👍❤️

Bryan, please pray for my family 🙏

This is a truly great testimony, Brian! I feel like I know you now, even though we've never met in person. I was also raised in a Christian church (not Catholic) and discovered the charismatic movement after high school. I was confused and uncertain of my future too. I got involved in the Pentecostal movement 40 years ago and also with Contemporary Christian music, both of which changed my life for the better. I still struggled with sin, but God always has taken me back. I am almost 60 years old today. I even went to an accredited Assembly of God bible college in 1984 and graduated with honors. It was in college there (in a hostile environment to Catholicism) that I "discovered" the Catholic faith for the first through my studies and the music ministry of John Micheal Talbot. John Micheal's music and ballads of worship have been with me all these years, through my many ups and downs! In time I experienced the pain of two divorces from two different women. I was excommunicated from the Reformed Church after my last one. Finally.... after decades I had my pride completely shattered so that I could give the Catholic Church a "fair hearing." When you are an Evangelical Protestant from childhood there is a mountain of "indoctrination" against the One True Faith to overcome. I was received into the Catholic Church at Easter Vigil Mass in 2015. Later both of my invalid marriages were annulled by the Tribunal. I am now married validly in the Catholic Church to my Filipina wife, who was born and baptized in the Church. We were both single parents when we received the Sacrament of Marriage and now have three boys to raise together. My point is: God takes what is broken and makes it into something beautiful if we let Him! Keep up your ministry, brother! We all have a testimony to share.... and yours is very needful! My main concern now as an older believer is the state of the Church and of our nation. God bless Bishop Strictland, Archbishop Vigano, and Cardinal Burke. We are in desperate need of a Return to Tradition and to our roots in Christian civilization. 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

Great story Bryan! Glad you are on our side

Thank you for sharing Brian, God bless

Thanks Brian for sharing. I learned so much from listening to you since I discovered your channel. I hope to be as knowledgeable as you in the next few years. I became Catholic just almost two years ago! May God always continue to bless you.

Thank you so much for your beautiful and powerful story. I have been listening to you for a while now. Thanks to you and a few others, I am becoming Catholic. Today was the first day of RCIA. God is doing a powerful work through you. I'm glad you did not succumb to the enemy. I thank God for you and your ministry.

I listened to a quarter of this video and am pretty sure that many men/teenage boys really resonate with this story.

Thanks be to God Thank you Bryan

Amazing I could hear you scream from the rooftop...... Jesus I love you.. but you love me more.. This is what I want to tell the world.. His unconditional love is so overwhelming. God bless you

This is amazing story brother Bryan Mercier.. God Bless

Thank you Brian!

I’m a former Jehovah’s Witness. I’ve not been disfellowshipped yet but I know if I pursue the Catholic faith I will be. I’ve been feeling a nudge toward Catholicism for years. I’ve been researching. I got a physical catechism to read and compare to my Bible and the jw bible. I’m finally convinced of the divinity of Christ but I’m really nervous about making the real step to join RCIA. I’m unsure how to pray because I grew up praying incorrectly. It’s a little overwhelming but exciting as well. Thank you for sharing your testimony! This is so helpful.

Good job Chooch. I remember when you came to Franciscan University and living down the hall. Stay close to Jesus and Mary. Keep praying the Rosary and I would encourage the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.

Thank you Bryan! Your passion for God is very infectious!

Awesome conversion story. Watchin from the Philippines🙏🙏🙏

God is marvelous. Thank you for sharing . Amen

This made me cry especially to see your contrite heart for your sins and gratefulness for Jesus.

Thank you for your conversion story. It will inspire many who are facing the same struggles in their faith life. ❤

Dear Bryan, thank you for your testimony, I cried almost whole video cus see myself also in your story. God bless you

Amen And thank you for speaking the truth

Awesome testimony.

Laughing, crying, cheering, raising my hands! Preach it bratha! I really enjoyed this!

Thank you and God Bless you and your ministry!

Bravo Bryan ! You are inspiration to millions by sharing the truth and the power of the living God that can easily transform rocks into his beloved children. I'm learning my Catholic faith now, bit by bit everyday after having been born Catholic and having no clue what it meant... still trying to find my way though and I pray the Lord to guide me through my serving Him forever. God bless you. you are a good boy!

Such a wonderful and powerful testimony!

My new favorite video! Beautiful story! So grateful for all God has done, and continues to do, in your life!

Thank you for sharing your testimony... Matthew 25:14-30.... Excellent work my brother

🙌 Bless you! And thankyou so much for telling your testimony ✝️ such an inspiration!

Thank you for your testimony, Brian! I myself have a testimony to tell about my conversion. As a young man, I was confused and searching until I came home to the Catholic church. I also went to a Catholic college, Iona University. During college, I gave myself to Christ and did service projects through Campus Ministries. I am still in a working process wondering what God is leading me to.

I love you Brian. So blessed child of God. Positive energy emanates out of a great 👍 mindset 🎉❤😊

🙏🙏🙏 Beautiful testimony ❤ Saving this one to my favorites

Love your videos great testimony by the way

Going to Franciscan saved me too❤

The last message of mercy a revelation of God's character of love. Christ is our righteousness

Thank you Sir Bryan. I always include my prayers and other who the online evangelization.❤❤❤.

Bryan, your testimony is beautiful!! I am in tears, moved so deeply by your testimony. This is so eerily similar to my conversion/re-version testimony. It is absolutely incredible since that time I see the world COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. Thank you for the work you do and I pray God continues to work through you to change hearts. 🙏🏼 God Bless you and your beautiful family 💕

I absolutely loved your beautiful story to come full circle to the Catholic Church. Thank you and God bless you and your beautiful family. ✝️

This is a beautiful testimony. Thank you for sharing.

As far as I know, there are three different types of conversation stories. A. You were an atheist, and you thought that religion was either stupid or served no purpose in society, but after careful consideration; you started to believe that God is real and became a Christian. B. You did not care about God, and God was not involved in your life at all, but after going through some hard times and hitting rock bottom; you let Jesus turn your life around, and became a Christian C. You thought you were a very good and moral person, and did not need God, but after being convicted by the Holy Spirit, either by God's grace or through someone else, you carefully examined yourself and realized you are a massive sinner in need of a savior, so you pleaded with God to have mercy on you, forgive you, and became a Christian

Beautiful story Brian! I will remember you and your family in my prayers. May God continue to use you.

It's truly amazing testimony! I'm 22, turning 23 in November and my puberty was almost the same. I was angry and felt like a mistake, I was depressed and lonely, I didn't even have real friends and I was addicted to social media to somehow fill the loneliness... I was still kinda Christian, but I started mixing it with some new age hoping that it would bring me joy and like enlighten me, make me happy. But it kept getting worse and worse, I was boiling inside, I almost didn't talk to my family, I was always closed in my room and almost lost my Christian Catholic faith completelly... Until I begged God to show Himself to me, to let me know who He is and that if He loves me... I've had a New Testament and I've read the passage when Saul converted and I was praying for something like that to happen to me. Like I wanted to see God to make sure that He's real and that He's who He says He is. I didn't know if it is Allah or Jesus or some hindu god, but I was ready to be obedient to anyone who will appear to me (not really ready but I was like okay, it is what it is and I can't do anyhing about the fact of Him being who He is anyway, so be it). Couple years ago I still don't have friends, but I have a lovely fiancé who is my best friend, I'm getting closer with my brothers and by the grace of God I don't feel lonely anymore because I can feel Him working in my life every single day, every single second, whether I'm sick, healthy, sad, happy or tired, at every moment I feel Him. I went through a protestant phase that didn't last for a very long time, I've started to study my religion and compare it to historical evidence and compared it to other religions and now I'm a full Catholic. What really buggs me is the fact that I'm still angry, not depressed, but angry and sometimes I just feel like breaking things and it makes me so sad because I know it breaks my fiancé's heart to see me like that and I still pray to God to deliver me from the anger and I try to do something about it, but every time I try to suppress it or somehow like push the anger away I feel like my insides are boiling and it really doesn't change anything... I'm a stubborn person in many ways and I hope and pray that God won't give up on me, I'm trying to give Him my whole free will and I pray that He would remove my free will and take over my whole life, because I don't want to be this way... So I guess I'm still on my journey.

I grew up Protestant. It didn't take me very long as an adult to realize that what my denomination taught did not line up perfectly with what the Bible taught. It did, however, line up much more closely than what every other denomination with which I was familiar did, so I stuck with it. My first introduction to what Catholics actually believe (vs what I had grown up believing they believed) was some stuff that Michael Knowles said. From there, I found Bryan, Trent Horn, Jimmy Akin, Scott Hahn, Matt Fradd, and Fr Chris Alar. I didn't need to be convinced of Catholicism: every point where I realized my denomination was wrong, I learned what Catholics believed on that point, and it was right. The more I learned about what Catholics believed, the more convinced of the truth I became. Fast forward two years to the extremely recent past: my wife and I were confirmed - and our children baptized - on Palm Sunday.

I hope he recommended Christendom! That's the best one in the U.S.

Glory to our Lord Jesus Christ hallelujah Amen brother 👏 I enjoying and interesting to listening to your beautiful testimony’s I thanks God for that 🙏 And continue to do more good works for Christ our Lord for the rest of your life ♥️

I can relate to so so much of your story! I too, had to experience the LOVE and the REALNESS of God and that's when it all changed!! Praise be God!!! Please pray for my husband! He has suffered so much in his life and although he is now faithful he has yet to experience the love of God and allowing him to love him. Its so difficult to convince people that these things are REAL and that God does work in our lives to heal and transform us until they experience it for themselves. I thank God for those of my brothers and sisters who really get it!! God Bless you brother!! 🙏

Thank you for your videos, Bryan. They’re a pleasure to watch.

Amazing video! Thank you for sharing with us all. My wife and I will be starting RCIA soon and coming home to Christ’s true Church. Your videos played an important role in how I came to learn more and shown my wife as well. May God continue to bless you and your ministry.

Great testimony brother!

WOW!!!

Thanks for your testimony I once received a drop of the Holy Spirit that let me overcome carnal sin, it was all his work so I understand your experience you received a glass I got a drop but that was enough and now I am married and faithful. But I want more, I wamt all, in my life and family nobody want to listen about Jesus.

I am very moved and touched in my heart spirit and mind for your testimony,and I’m so glad that you didn’t do what countless people do in your situation which is they are fully tempted to and fall prey to the devil to commit suicide.For truly the Eternal FATHER SON AND HOLY SPIRIT DEFINITELY HELPED YOU AND I don’t even DOUBT THAT OUR IMMACULATE MOTHER MARY HAD HELPED YOU TO YEEEAAAHHH.

Thank you for your testimony, Brian. I should think that way too. I still struggle and I’m getting better.

Thank you for sharing your story! I feel the same, I have a fire in my heart and just cannot get enough of our God, learning, living, breathing His word and truth is at the core of my existence, Praise God!

Wonderful conversion story. It's ok to get emotional. I feel you brother in Christ. God bless you and your family. JMJ

Riveting! Thank you for being so honest! These stories show that if you can do it, anybody can do it. This only excites me more when I meet you next month in Southington! -Adam

Bryan, God is so Good and so Awesome. Thanks be to Him that He is working thru you for His Greater Glory. Wow, it is such a blessing to be called a Child of God and a Disciple of His Son Jesus Christ.

Very grateful for your testimony, Brian. Listening to this video has certainly strengthened my faith. God bless!

AMEN!! God bless you. Your story is so inspiring! Thank you for sharing it!

Thqnk you so much for sharing your conversion story and thank u for great vidio,welcome to Catholic church🙏🙏🙏GBU Bryan❤❤❤❤

Beautiful testamony🙏👏👏

Thank you for sharing your beautiful testimony of faith. You truly touched my heart as I have a similar experience that unfortunately happened even later in my life that hurt my children and family. But Jesus’ grace has allowed me to live my faith through the Catholic Church once again.

Every saint's conversion story is so different. Yet they all have one thing in common. It is the Holy Spirit of Christ within the soul who saves it. The best we can do is to sit back and merely say, "Yes!" to that amazing, joyful process of entering into the Abundant Life. I intend to share Bryan's story with as many people who will listen.

Thank you so much for sharing your story with us, Bryan. That was inspirational. You are like one of the apostles now.

Wow, your story is amazing 👏👏👏 Praise God 🙏🙏🙏
