| 0:00.0 | Gooday, gooday, welcome. Today we want to talk about the subject of conversion. I'm going to be |
| 0:05.7 | sharing a little bit about how I came to faith in Christ. We are then going to be taking your |
| 0:10.1 | phone calls and your questions. And then later on on the show, I'm going to be sitting down with |
| 0:14.7 | Dr. Scott Hahn and I'm going to be asking him advice for converts and how to act after you have converted and |
| 0:22.1 | what he wish he had have done differently or advice he might have to an agnostic who is looking |
| 0:27.1 | into Christianity. So welcome. It's great to have you. My name's Matt Frad, if you're just |
| 0:37.4 | joining us. |
| 0:37.9 | I grew up in a Catholic family, in that my mother was Catholic. |

| 0:45.2 | And so my mum, every Sunday, would drag me and my brother and sister to Holy Mass. |
| 0:50.6 | And the context for this was usually, or at least the memory I have, is I had just spent the night at |

| 1:17.0 | beautiful woman, and God bless her for loving me enough to drag me to church even when I didn't want to go, but I did not want to go. And I remember we'd go to Mass, and I sat there looking |
| 1:22.6 | around at what I thought, now maybe I was wrong, but I just looked at people who seemed very disinterested. |
| 1:29.4 | I remember thinking, if they don't want to be here and I don't want to be here and the priest |
| 1:33.1 | doesn't want to be here, could we just like not be here? Because I would much rather watch |
| 1:37.8 | cartoons. Now, as I got a little older, I had a lot of questions that I don't think was |
| 1:43.1 | sufficiently answered. Now, it could have been that I was too |
| 1:47.3 | proud to hear them, but I would have questions like if God exists, why do bad things happen to good people? |
| 1:55.6 | Or how do we know where right and the Mormons are wrong or the Jehovah's Witnesses or the Hindus? |
