Thank you for this video trent! im an ex-satanist who used to be a radical pro hookup, pro degeneracy type feminist who used to make that kind of "content" on obscure sites when I turned 18. A few months after I started making that kind of content, I started dating someone who had an extremely devout mother, who later revealed when she met me, she started praying and fasting for my conversion. Thanks be to God I had an extremely radical conversion to Christ shortly after meeting her, and I deleted all my content, threw out all my occult stuff. Im now almost 22, and im now a Catholic student missionary, and I want to make it my life's mission to bring Christ to others, especially the lost sheep like me. The moral of the story is pray for these women, if you know someone in your life who needs God, pray for them, fast for them, cry out to God on their behalf and He will bring them home, for no one is too far gone for His merciful love❤
“Any sinner is capable of being a great saint, and any saint is also capable of being a great sinner.” “The only difference between a sinner and a saint is found in their attitude toward their sins - the one persisting in them; the other weeping bitterly.”
I'll appendix this by saying in this case this "Nala" lady said she "wouldn't take back anything" because it mader her "who I am", to which Knowles asked "even the sins?" And she said "yes". So, her attitude is not one of repentance at all.
@@sercastamere9853 We have no right to judge the quality of another's repentance absolutely. Our duty is to pray for this person, and to exercise the same charity God has shown to us. It's also not wrong to state that ones sinful past has contributed to their current outlook on life, which can easily be how we interpret her words. "Not taking anything back" can be interpreted perfectly orthodox; God uses the sinful past of many saints to *make them saints*. Why not be charitable?
Right, the Bible goes out of it's way to show God's mercy to women who engage in sex work upon repentance. Sex work isn't some special category of sin God won't forgive. That said, I do think Christians need to trust but verify. Be happy and joyful over the profession of faith, but don't shove them into media interviews 2 months after coming to Christ. I can only imagine what sort of terrible interview I would have given 2 months after surrendering to Christ. Give them some time to mature as a Christian before interviewing them.
Honestly, I'm disappointed that a guy who calls himself Catholic is making OnlyFans videos. Trent should be ashamed. I never see videos like this on other apologist channels. This is disgusting.
@@user-lv5xb5ug3q Yes! Blessed Bartolo Longo. Then we have St. Mary of Egypt who was practically possessed by lust demons from the age of 12, given the crazy levels of debauchery she engaged in for decades before her conversion. And St. Maria Gorreti's murderer? By today's std, he's a murder & pedophile and yet by all accounts, he likely died a saint himself, thanks to the intercession of St. Maria, his victim.
How Pearl can call herself a Catholic publically while also publically stating she hates the very words of our Lord in the Gospel is really sad. Pray for her conversion towards the loving mercy of God
Pearl recently was defending that pick up artist redpill guy for demanding his ex abort their child. She’s just anti-woman. She’ll choose any side as long as it’s anti-woman she’s that much of a “pick-me” girl.
@@TheNemkris because Catholics should be held to a higher standard. And Pearl is the one who brings up the fact that she was raised Catholic while saying all sorts of kooky things.
If someone not only sinned publicly, but also publicly encouraged others to sin, then it not only makes sense, but is right and just that after they repent they publicly denounce that sin and try to discourage and warn the public against it. In fact, for all of us one of the greatest goods that can come from our past sin is a specialised understanding and calling to save others from a particular evil we're intimately acquainted with. (It's true for all kinds of struggles and experiences, in fact. We should be at least familiar with the concept of testimony.)
Some level of skepticism is warranted and we should be cautious about putting her on a pedestal, but she should also be met with warmth and kindness, we are all sinners and Christ's sacrifice covers us all
Spot on. I think this whole "how dare you judge her" thing has been blown completely out of proportion. Most people are happy but realise its prudent to think she should have peace and quiet rather than shoving a microphone into her hand and fueling her attention addiction further.
@@browserboy1984 Where? Everyone he criticized were blatantly disrespectful and saying she should be permanently cast out. Show Trent some respect, dude. He isn't naïve or stupid.
@@rosamorales729 No, many many saints were some great sinners. St. Paul, who is one of the most well known Saints, and writer in the Bible, used to hate and persecute Christians. He imprisoned them and was even holding the cloaks of the people who were stoning St. Stephen to death. But our Lord and God Jesus still appeared to him, loved him, and made him a great saint.
@@inedanap6253 you're not wishing her well. You're crucifying her. This channel is supposed to be Catholic. Yet you guys do nothing but talk about OnlyFans it's disgusting.
@@extract8058 Really? I was looking through the channel history and it seems like Only Fans has only been mentioned twice in the past ~30 or so videos. Were you talking about something specific?
The only ones who cannot be forgiven are those who refuse to forgive others. You are absolutely right Trent, we should rejoice for every lost sheep to be rescued. How can we enjoy salvation if we dont desire it for all?
That is foolish. A pious mother who's family is brutally murdered by someone won't be granted grace because she can't forgive the person? That's exactly where God's own judgement and discernment comes in.
@@sercastamere9853 "and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us" You'll be forgiven as much as you forgive. Then there's also the parable of the debtors, who was forgiven the huge debt, but then he wouldn't forgive the smaller debt someone had owned him. We have forgive to be forgiven. We have to forgive other people, who are all finite creatures like us,if we want to be forgiven by the Infinite God. And any great tragedy that happens to us that needs forgiveness, that's the place where we can unite ourselves with God himself and be tools of His Mercy. It's a privilege.
@@sercastamere9853 Sure, but we're just pointing out what it says in Sacred Scripture. Literally right after the last verse of the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6 it says: "14 For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father also will forgive you; 15 but if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." It sounds like forgiving others had better be top priority for you if you expect to be forgiven yourself. So while judgement is up to our Lord, and He is a just judge abounding in grace and mercy, I think it is wise to take God at His word and place forgiveness of others at the forefront of your mind and heart.
@@sercastamere9853 God forgave you even though you didn't deserve it. Why then should you not forgive others? Forgiveness is not synonymous with condoning or excusing or overlooking. Condoning suggests that the evil action was actually not evil at all. Excusing suggests that the evil action was not evil due to outside circumstances. Overlooking means pretending that the evil action never happened. Forgiving means recognizing that the evil action was evil but choosing to let go of all anger, bitterness, and resentment that YOU have towards what happened. Forgiveness does not mean you need to be the culprit's friend or spend time with them or trust them. It simply means genuinely wishing for the culprit who committed that evil act to one day recognize what they did wrong, feel remorse, repent, and receive God's grace--just the same way you did. If you are unwilling to share the grace of God with those you hate, then why should it be given to you?
Sir Trent Horn! Hello! I'm an Indian catholic 🇮🇳✝️🇻🇦🙏 and I thank you very much for your amazing content. You provide amazing insight regarding cultural topics and politics. I'm praying for the west and catholics/ Christians all over the world and I ask you and your viewers to do likewise. God bless you and your family ❤ Viva Cristo Rey 👑✝️🇻🇦🙏
People who act like that towards new Christians are usually the people who have never hit rock bottom. The story of the Prodigal Son is such a saving grace.
*Never hit rock bottom /physically/ It seems like to treat someone like that, you have to be falling pretty close to rock bottom on a spiritual level... it's really sad to see
Yep! I agree. It's the spirit of pride & I recognize it as very worldly. They look down on others because (1) they consider their sins worse than their own sins, (2) they disbelieve the reality of Grace & its healing power, (3) they disbelieve in God's mercy, (4) think that it's easy to avoid the other's sin because it's not their own struggle & they have not been allowed to fall in an area to the extent of truly realizing their wretchedness. If you look at the Catholic works on mystical theology, the transition of beginner to proficient is usually done through a phase in which a lot of stripping is done & the soul sees itself as a sinner, weak, & utterly dependent on grace. So we can all hope that those who have not already been somewhat humbled by life's "rock-bottoms" will still find the opportunity in the dark nights of senses and spirit!
I really appreciate this commentary. Yes, our actions have real earthly consequences, and those can’t just be erased, but we belittle Christ’s sacrifice on the cross when we say doing porn is just too much sin for Christ’s blood to cover.
But this woman did not come into the Church. She was baptized as a protestant. No true baptism. No confession. No Eucharist. I'm sorry, but i just don't see her salvation yet, because all salvation comes through the Church.
@@jackpleb2360 the Church recognizes Protestant baptisms as valid provide it it done in a Trinitarian format and with water running off the scalp. If that was the case then her baptism was indeed valid. See the Council of Trent for full details.
No one is saying “it’s too much of a sin” Christians and non-Christians alike are levying criticism against the showcasing of a convert who has historically jumped between personalities. She claimed at one point that her preacher father supported her OF. People doubt her character because she’s lied before, plus she’s known about Christ her whole life. She spent 4 years building a sex-persona through OF and podcasts and pathologized these sins through “analyzing” her child-hood. The point is: she shouldn’t be getting any attention, positive or negative. Knowles is strange, and perhaps even naive for bringing her on.
@@jackpleb2360 bleh, "All the salvation comes through the church." That is some serious brain washing there buddy. Salvation comes through Christ, not the church. The church is merely an instrument of Christ, not to be put on a pedestal above him.
I teared up towards the end. Thank you for this video, Trent. I'm currently struggling with p0rn addiction and a truly vile and malicious hatred of non-Catholics. I hope that this will help me start desiring salvation for everyone, especially those who need God's mercy the most.
I needed to hear this message today Trent. Sometimes I don’t feel like my life will turn around after years of sin but I’m going to stay close to God and the church and hopefully thinks get better
Hey man, I've been here before. I just want to encourage you by saying that Jesus' death on the cross paid the price for your sins. You don't do anything to pay for your own sins, but Jesus took the punishment meant for you when he died on the cross. Jesus' death on the cross justified you in the eyes of the Lord. Once you become a Christian, you begin the process of sanctification, where your life begins to be transformed be more Christ-like. But remember that sanctification does not earn your salvation! You have been justified, and therefore saved, from the moment you put your faith in Christ. I encourage you to seek out some Christians who you trust in your life to reach out to them. It is hard to fight battles against sin when you have no one in life supporting you. I wasn't able to make serious progress against the sins I was facing until I admitted to my brother and then friends what I was struggling with. The body of Christ is meant to support each other. I will pray that you get the support you need from Jesus and from your church body.
And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

Within humans is a deep desire for godly justice. But that desire gets distorted when we get obsessed with the fiery sword of justice to cleave the sinner in half.
@@sercastamere9853 Recently read through Exodus for the first time as an adult. I was shocked at how much grace there is. If you believe that the old covenant was unjust, you've been lied to. Read it again.
I'm only one minute in and I'm genuinely shocked at the negative comments you cited against this woman. That anyone can repent and be forgiven is one of the most fundamental tenets of Christianity. Do these people seriously not know that?
To be fair, i don't think protestants are Christians. Can you get to Heaven after a long life of being a baptist? Methodist? 7th day Adventist? Or does Salvation come only from the One True Faith. When you die, you will stand before the Lord as a Catholic, even if you have to take RCIA in purgatory.
The comments against her are not because they don’t believe she is redeemable but because they don’t believe she is sincere. Watch her testimony, and tell me you have 0% doubt of her sincerity.
@@jackpleb2360As a Catholic, it's important to remember that most non-Catholic churches have valid baptisms, so their members are Christian, although some of their views would be objectively heretical.
Trent, I think this is one of your best videos. I love the charity you exude and love to see you and TMarshall getting along. I think your video reflects the “Church is a hospital for sinners, not a hotel for saints” quote. God Bless you
Amen!! This is immediately one of my favorites. St Augustine is my confirmation saint and I loved how Trent included his testimony. I fully believe God used St Augustine’s story to bring people to Christ for nearly 1700 years now.
@@andyy890 💯 I’m no expert on him but am familiar enough to know he turned away from serious sin later in his life. I feel like it’s almost logical that the greater the sinner, the greater right one has to the Lords unfathomable Mercy.
Trent is only charitable to the Christians he politically and morally aligns with, like this OF model. She blames the men in her life for her actions through pathology and then judges them repeatedly throughout the interview.
The love and mercy displayed by Catholics is what encouraged me to join my local Catholic church. When I reached out to the RCIA director, he welcomed me. The members of the church urged me to join them at dinner after the Novena to Santo Nino. I have never felt so overwhelmingly welcome before anywhere else. This love is what helps others make better decisions in their lives. To be Christ-like is to give grace. I hope Nala finds peace and happiness in her new life with Jesus.
@@jackpleb2360Jesus finds them in the houses of tax collectors and other sinners, so yes. Remember that if you are seeking the truth from the standpoint of someone who has led a wicked life, you would be overwhelmed by a wide array of Christian churches and movements. You might not have the intellectual clarity of someone who has grown up in a good Catholic home.
Sending her your book is a really nice and charitable thing to have done. Let's hope she becomes a Catholic (assuming she hasn't already) and pray that she remains on the righteous path.
I watched the interview and she’s definitely some sort of Protestant. She seems genuine to me, and was ignorant of the Catholic things Micheal brought up.
Brother Trent your kind words brought tears to my eyes. I get overwhelmed with awe every time I think of the goodness of Abba God. He is so kind and merciful towards His children though we don't deserve it. I'm so happy to welcome another sister to our family and I praise her adoption right along with the Heavenly host. How can anyone deny the divinity of Jesus when He's capable of forgiving all and saving all? He's all powerful and all-loving to His creation. To deny this young lady of salvation is to deny Jesus' very divinity. It's akin to blasphemy and I pray that the Holy Spirit will soften the hearts of our siblings who think they know better than Jesus who is worthy of salvation. May God bless you and keep you Trent!
It breaks my heart a little to see fellow Christians mock or put down someone who is trying to start over and live a life in Christ as if they CAN'T ever be good enough
Not real familiar with loomer but some of these people only call themselves Christians it doesn't mean they are so it shouldn't be shocking when they don't have our Lord's love & mercy in themselves
She explicitly stated she does not regret her sins because they made her "who she is". She is not repentant yet therefore this entire pr campaign she's doing is deeply offensive to the faith.
I saw a post once that said St. Paul entered heaven to the cheers of those he martyred. So true! That’s Christianity. Forgiveness, and moving forward together in joy that they now agree with God. This can and should be applied to ALL sins, even those who repented from sexual sins.
As a great sinner myself that was saved by the love and great mercy of our Lord, intervention of our Mother, and loving priests who guided me patiently, only God has the right to judge, we as a great community and family only should call out, guide and support people to come back to our Lord, we cannot have the luxury to lose more souls. I am from South America and I have seen many times in our community to be extremely skeptical and very cynical towards recent converts instead of welcoming them and support the process which is essential because you can go back to sin. We are not perfect, we can fall out from Grace any moment. “In the evening of life, we will be judged on love alone.” - St. John of the Cross
Trent, you truly are so charitable and I appreciate this commentary so much. It genuinely made me tear up. I hope everyone comes to know Christ and His immense, immeseaurable love for each soul.
Despite being a very, very confirmed Protestant (though my tradition does not use that term to describe ourselves) I thank God every day for Trent and Catholic brothers like him. You're doing very good work, sir. There are souls in paradise today because of God's work through men like you.
First: This was a wonderful video. Thank you, Trent, for being a balanced voice of reason and applying the Gospel to the chaos that is modern life (and especially the cesspool that is Twitter/X). Second: I love the updates to the editing. The only other change I might suggest is to have more than a blank wall behind you.
Trent, You speak like that saying that we would all be damned if we had to pay for our sins ourselves made me think of the first time my wife went to confession. she told me that the penance didn't justify the sin like she was expecting a harsher penance. i didn't say anything... what could i say but smile and be happy for her.
Remember that time in the Bible where Jesus went up to a sinful woman and said “you’re irredeemable, stone her now”. No? That’s because it never happened, that was what the wisdom of the world said not what Christ said. “But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness” 1 Corinthians 1:23
I am a sinner, I can not condemn anyone as I am worthy of condemnation myself. I pray for God's mercy for all, especially those who have been affected by lust and adult content.
I try to remind myself often of a talking point from a homily I once heard in college. It was talking about the prodigal son and the quote is, "All of Heaven rejoices when the lost lamb is found." When anyone repents and accepts Christ we should be grateful regardless of who they are. So thankful for this episode Trent and for the kindness you offer. God bless
The Bible doesn’t actually say that she was a prostitute. This is a myth that arose from mixing together three separate women, and the church no longer teaches this. The seven demons from which she was freed could have also been seven physical ailments.
Shoutout to all my fellow Protestant pastor converts “grifting” out there 😉 this is an important and timely episode as always! Thanks to all the charitable Catholic brothers and sisters who welcomed me and several others home to the Catholic Church and thanks be to God for loving us sinners into His family 🙌🏼 May He give us the grace to boldly share the good news of His mercy and grace to all we meet through our words and deeds 🙏🏼 “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” John 13:35
As a digital creator (I don't like that term, but YMMV) the issue is : the money in social media CAN BE OBSCENE. So aligning your content with some sort of large group (Religious, political, etc) can reap an incredible amount of money. So, it makes sense to align yourself with some level of identity if you'd like to sell content/marketing/etc. But...God's grace can absolutely change a life, and people shouldn't be surprised when someone comes to Christ and their lives change, but I'd think we also need to be cautious if they've got motivations that involve money when it comes to promoting themselves and a brand, if that's the case.
I totally get being skeptical on new converts like this. Absolutely. But even if we’re skeptical, we should always encourage and pray for conversion. Just reading these tweets; 0:200:39 I can’t believe what I’m hearing. The whole time I was just thinking “Mary Magdalene”. These people have no concept of atonement or forgiveness. This stuff sends people straight to hell…how can you expect God to forgive you if you can’t forgive others? They don’t understand the magnitude of their own sin and that God is perfectly just in casting ALL of us into fiery damnation for all eternity for our “small” sins. No concept of Grace. Saying converts from this will never be acceptable or forgiven…that they shouldn’t even be allowed in society….just wow. Doesn’t matter if you’re skeptical of Nala, EVERY Christian should condemn what those people said…if you won’t, you should examine whether you should be calling yourself a Christian.
As a convert who committed a lot of sins before my conversion, I can tell you that the deeper a convert goes into the Faith, the more terrible their past sins appear to them (even with the full understanding that these sins have been forgiven). We haven't 'gotten away with' anything. It's a burden we'll carry till purgatory burns the last of it away.
First I read the word "commend" as " condemn". I was confused and then I read correctly. 😂 Secondly technical terms are animators and graphic designers.
It is not our place to judge this woman or any other person who repents and comes back to God. The road to heaven is a difficult one, Christians should not make it harder by casting stones. Thanks Trent for the reminder.
Her parents are no less dishonored/scandalized than before her actions. And when you see her reasoning, she kind of makes it all about her in the sense that it seems like everything that happened was just a matter of circumstances. “It’s society’s fault”, as if society made her set up the account and put the camera on the tripod for her. I don’t remember her saying “what I did was wrong, it was my choice to do evil, and I want to do good because I love God.”
She’s young. I remember being repentant when I was young and still be self focused. It is not our place to determine if she is truly repentant-God alone lnows
I’m a Protestant, mainly because of my belief in scripture’s authority and my inclination to scholasticism. Your content is wildly refreshing & gentle. It is so encouraging to see one emphasising simple, powerful Christian truths with no thought given to division between people. God bless you 🙏
This seems like something where the minority position (outright condemnation of her conversion) is being responded to instead of the majority position (skepticism about the veracity of her claims of conversion).
She raped her boyfriend though and intentionally destroyed the marriages of her best friends by cheating on their husbands. Christianity absolutely does not teach that we are born again in this life and nobody can repent the sin of pride by going on a podcast. That is the opposite of being humble.
I feel this “can’t be saved” view is primarily Protestant (although Laura Loomer is Jewish). Maybe my net isn’t wide enough, but I haven’t seen any genuine Catholics I follow say anything like this. Rather, I’ve seen the Catholic side being encouraging and requesting prayers for these women I think that’s a reflection of how the Catholic faith truly recognizes we have crosses to bear, and we don’t try to run from them. And I realize Pearl was raised Catholic, but she’s clearly not practicing today
I’m not “blaming” Protestants. Much of the Protestant faith is Christ without the cross, and I see this kind of reaction as a fruit of that. Since there’s no sacrament of confession in the vast amount of Protestant faiths, determining who is forgiven and who is not gets murky, and each individual person presents themselves as the authority over the validity of this forgiveness I referenced Laura and Pearl bc that’s who Trent referenced in the video.
@@dahliaherrod4301 I know I will be generalizing greatly here bc there are thousands of Protestant denominations, but many teach the “once saved, always saved” theology. So, all you have to do to get saved is one simple act- that may be to get baptized, or say the sinners prayer, or just profess you believe Jesus is your savior. It sounds easy enough, but then ask, what happens if a person sins again? Are they still saved? Since they’ve been saved once and for all, do they now have a free pass to sin as much as they’d like? So if you press in on the issue to understand what happens to the professed Christian who sins, the answer ultimately leads to “they were never ‘real’ Christians to begin with” However, the Catholic Church teaches that being saved - or, sanctification - is a process. Your sins are forgiven at baptism, but you’ll very likely sin afterwards. That’s why Catholics have the sacrament of confession. Since it is a sacrament instilled by Christ himself, you can be assured your sins are forgiven and your slate is wiped clean. You can go to confession as often as you need to. Many of us struggle with grave sin and it will take time to kick the bad habit. Hence, this whole process of bettering yourself to walk away from sin is a process. It is a cross to bear, but grace flows through our sacraments so we can unite these crosses to Christ to help us carry them. If instead you don’t recognize the sacrament of confession, it’s very tempting to just label a public sinner as not a ‘real’ Christian
It's more atheist and kind of jewish to be honest, atheists rarely can get past what they perceive as a wrong or as a slight against them, even if it's very far fetched and unrelated, and judaism is very legalistic, very little actual mercy if you go by the word of the law.
Thank you for covering this Trent. It’s so disheartening to see so many Christians being so unforgiving toward others and yet needing God’s forgiveness for themselves at the same time.
Nick Fuentes did a show on this topic which I found very insightful. I think the biggest problem I have with Nala's story is that she didn't convert to Catholicism but rather to a protestant denomination. This means she likely has no concept of confession and making amends, both of which are critical to true repentance. Back in the Middle Ages, some people's pennance after confession was to make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem to better help heal their souls. While that sounds extreme today, it was necessary. Nala has caused damage to thousands of young men and I believe if she is sincere, she should donate any money she made from porn, disappear from public life and go on a year long retreat.
Nick Fuentes said something reasonable? Hallelujah, it IS a miracle! I hope she does, honestly. I imagine trying to work through a spiritual conversion while in the public eye, and without the sacraments, is not easy.
@inedanap6253 you might be surprised at how reasonable he is if you listen to him regularly. He only makes headlines because bad faith actors are trying to destroy his reputation.
@@DEZEKER08 After having listened to him, I very strongly disagree. He does not strike me as a particularly functional or well meaning individual. At BEST I think he is on the spectrum. He may talk in a calm and collected way in the face of emotional opposition, but that does not mean his views are rational. They're certainly not very Catholic, and I would be very careful taking his advice to heart
Hey brother, that guy is not who you want to be filling your head with. You are gravitated towards him for probably legitimate reasons and needs. But whatever you get from him that you might need is not worth whatever misguided influence he will have in other areas. A little leaven leavens the whole loaf
So many of these people are lucky God is not petty. Imagine you're getting judged only to see those same people you wrote off as the "garbage of society" and "irredeemable" walk by
One of the best things about being a Christian is I don’t have to worry about someone’s heart and whether or not they are truly repentant. Jesus takes care of that.
No. You should seek discernment in the hearts of other Christians to root out corruption. “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.”
@@aidanmurray7319true we can judge behavior not someone heart unless they’ve actually really told you what is in their heart. So some skepticism is warranted from a convert sure, however not to the point where you forget about Gods ability to forgive. These people would’ve shunned Saul when he became Paul. The Apostles welcomes Paul. This also Doesn’t mean you have to be friends or whatever but also rude to continually shun them if all their recent behavior shows a true conversion
@@catholicguy1073Actually, people were hesitant around Paul for a bit. It's in Acts 9. Ananias is told by God Himself to go meet with Paul, and he had doubts, but was reassured. Later, the Christians in Jerusalem feared him too (Acts 9:26.) That's not to say it's the correct way to behave, just that it's not unprecedented, and is fairly normal.
@@MeanBeanComedy Nala isn't killing Christians though. She's definitely shown some pretty dramatic fruit that shows repentance. She's not just mouthing words. Closing her OF account and walking away from making millions a year, as she was a top 1% earner, is very dramatic fruit. Humbling herself on the Micheal Knowles interview and actually apologizing to all the men she led astray, and calling women to think twice before they go on the terrible road she went down is wonderful. One of the most touching comments I saw under that interview was a young man who had been terribly addicted to porn. He said that he didn't know he needed to hear that apology from a porn creator, until he heard her say it. And that it was really healing for him somehow. I guess it had to do w/ the guilt and shame he was carrying, and her apologizing to him was deeply personal. It just really touched me. Someone else said they are going to church for the first time because of her testimony. Praise God.
Reminds me of an adult actress went on a Protestant show exposing the adult industry but jumped back in a couple years later because she felt trapped. The places she worked at when recognized as an adult actress gave her awkward treatments
@@hippios Nala is talking about conversion, not spreading a feminist-style anti-Christian reddit pseudo-religion like Pearl. When she starts talking about nonsense, no one should pay her any mind.
I think there’s a difference between shunning and ostracizing someone (this is wrong) who recently converted and repented of their old ways and having a wait and see attitude.
Well, we wait to see if she is being genuine or not. Her fruits will show if this is true. If she has truly converted it is up to us to accept her into the brethren.
I confess to wanting to accuse her in a video comments section of grift, but I thought better of it. My concern was that she was still using the public look and image of her pronography days (anime reminiscent red hair and makeup). However, I do not know enough about her or her intentions to treat that as material evidence of a lack of true conversion. She may hope to use her recognizability to make her conversion a more effective tool for the conversion of others. I praise God for her repentance and salvation through Jesus Christ!
I agree, and yet I think the early Church would say that penance is necessary, if one has already been baptized. The default was also 3 years of living the Christian life before baptism.
For me the opposite is true, if these woman can’t be saved, then God’s love is limited, and therefore God is not God. Also, these hypocrites do all the same things in private. They believe watching porn is fine, but making porn makes a woman untouchable. The more sinful the sinner, the greater the glory to God in saving the sinner. God demonstrates his love in this, that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for the ungodly. Where sin increases, grace abounds. (And I am just quoting scripture, if you don’t like it, take it up with Jesus). Jesus saves us completely from our sins, this means not only forgiving us, but also transforming us to be perfect. So I am not saying that we should sin that grace might increase. Praise God for saving people out of the porn industry.
What a beautiful presentation of the Gospel, Trent! You have glorified God's power and grace to save even a sinner like me. May the Lord lead Nala to sainthood, for He is more than able to do so!
It's naive to think a person has turned it around in one day when they haven't accepted responsibility for their actions and all they've done is say one prayer one time. The church is like a clinic for your soul. God can turn someone around overnight, but for most of us it will take a period of penance and healing, reworking habits, and God-willing dropping the stain of those sins from our souls. If someone isn't doing that work then what is their conversion really about? This sort of thing only makes sense to protetstants. This doesn't apply to Trent imo, but as far as I can tell most people who stream or otherwise are doing content have mental issues, they are narcissistic, amoral, and attention seeking. I say this with love for them, but we have to be realistic about the kind of person who constantly seeks this kind of attention. We should be skeptical of any high profile, streamer, youtuber, etc. who is telling us exactly what we want to hear because they're very good at appealing to the crowd, reinventing themselves, and just generally finding ways to take advantage of attention. I'm not saying Nala is faking it, btw. I hope and pray it is genuine, but it's going to need to be more than just a moment. Also I was not impressed with the way she described her experience, she didn't take responsibility for her actions which suggests she may not understand yet exactly what it means to have a conversion. I don't think she should be shunned or mocked, but imo she does need to be taking time out of the limelight to heal and until that happens I am skeptical. Not that my opinion matters at all, tho.
Shes treated skeptically because shes monetizing and bringing fame to her conversion. Thats what has it seeming disingenuous. People arent questioning her sternly without cause.
People compare this story to the Prodigal Son while forgetting that the other son was prodigal in his own way. Like the "well-behaved" son, the people condemning her want to feel above her in some way, like they aren't also in need of God's mercy. My personal opinion is we should rejoice for this sister's turn to Christ while discouraging her away from making content at all (adult or not). She has more gifts to provide the world than being a spectacle, and "content creation" has clearly been harmful to her spiritually and we should not condone it for her or tune in. I think she would benefit from discussing her path with a priest. St. Mary of Egypt, pray for us.
Great video, Trent. Salvation and grace are gifts from God. No matter what we do on earth, we will never be enough because of sin. Pearl is truly disturbed, and I hope that one day she will be freed from whatever spirit is haunting her. Regarding Nala, I am so happy she has returned to Christianity. Amazing how God used her friend (now husband) to reel her back to him. Have a blessed week everyone!
Trent, your content just gets better and better, even once I think you’ve exhausted all the apologetic material and analysis of current events. Well done.
@@SydneyCarton2085 yeah People like Trent make excuses like Christ forgiving people with similar pasts but forget that after their lives intersected with Christ they changed completely
I was taught through Islam, I once asked my father about other religions that are not Muslim going to hell. He responds “you have no right to condemn someone to hell that is gods doing” and explained to me a story of a man who was scolded by god for condemning another man to hell. Though I am not as religious as I used to be, I take these words to heart, though I believe people do wrong that doesn’t mean they are damned to go to hell they still have the power to right there wrongs and that is between them and god not me
Amen Trent! Love your stuff, I was a sinner, and turned back to God. For he has saved me a sinner! “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone” (John 8:7). Keep up the amazing work Trent! God bless you and your beautiful family
Thank you for this. You said every point I would share with Pearl if I knew her. Those who have been forgiven little, forgive little & love little. Pearl’s comment about hating that parable shows how she is mistaken and thinks being Christian is earning your way into heaven by checking off certain boxes. She hasn’t experienced God’s deep grace, or has forgotten it. The world judges because it doesn’t receive God’s forgiveness.
I wanted to listen to this while doing work, but the editing was so engaging I couldn’t look away. Whoever you hired did a fantastic job! Excited to see what else they can do.
Criticism of others is thus an oblique form of self-commendation. We think we make the picture hang straight on our wall by telling our neighbors that all his pictures are crooked. Fulton Sheen.
Her "conversion" is suspicious and deserving of being questioned since she made it all about herself in a way. She also denied her culpability in the sinful "job" she had, saying she was "tricked" into doing it, and ignoring the fact she wasn't forced at all and that she willingly kept doing her sinful "job" for all this time. She now left her career with comfortable 9 million and can live the rest of her life without degrading herself.
She never said she was tricked. Be careful because God just might judge you by your own standards. If you don't think corn stars are redeemable you better not be watching it.
@@Rocky-ur9mn Really? Idk I ctr + F'ed the transcript of the interview and didn't find anything like that (maybe I didn't look for correct words, even though I looked for multiple different words). Maybe she said it in an indirect way or that she was merely sorry for her sin. Overall she gave off a vibe that she was much much more of a victim than a perpetrator.
After singing in a Catholic choir for almost 7 years, I'm going through catechesis. I'm not going through RCIA. The priest has given his blessing for this atypical conversion.
When the Medici family made their wealth from usury and shady dealings their confessor told them to donate to the poor and to the Church and their sins may be forgiven. At the very least if she really did make 9 million with this debauchery she should donate at least a portion of it. Forgiveness does not mean a total lack of consequences if it works that way no one will ever take Christianity seriously.
Exactly. What if I go to confession and the priest tells me to stay away from the near occasions that led to my sin, and I say, "no Father, I don't have to do that." The priest wpuld have every right to believe I wasn't truly contrite and withhold absolution.
Thank you for this video trent! im an ex-satanist who used to be a radical pro hookup, pro degeneracy type feminist who used to make that kind of "content" on obscure sites when I turned 18. A few months after I started making that kind of content, I started dating someone who had an extremely devout mother, who later revealed when she met me, she started praying and fasting for my conversion. Thanks be to God I had an extremely radical conversion to Christ shortly after meeting her, and I deleted all my content, threw out all my occult stuff. Im now almost 22, and im now a Catholic student missionary, and I want to make it my life's mission to bring Christ to others, especially the lost sheep like me. The moral of the story is pray for these women, if you know someone in your life who needs God, pray for them, fast for them, cry out to God on their behalf and He will bring them home, for no one is too far gone for His merciful love❤
Welcome home dear sister! Whoops! ❤🇻🇦
there is no sin that God cant forgive,keep your walk in His ways,God bless You.
God bless you sister. I used to be addicted when i was exposed as a kid. And had a radical conversion im so happy for you(:
God be Praised!
If God forgave me he can forgive you hallelujah!
“Any sinner is capable of being a great saint, and any saint is also capable of being a great sinner.”
“The only difference between a sinner and a saint is found in their attitude toward their sins - the one persisting in them; the other weeping bitterly.”
Why is there no victory over sin? How come that isn’t an option?
I'll appendix this by saying in this case this "Nala" lady said she "wouldn't take back anything" because it mader her "who I am", to which Knowles asked "even the sins?" And she said "yes".
So, her attitude is not one of repentance at all.
@@sercastamere9853 if she changed she repented. She may just be immature and not able to express things rightly. Pray for her.
@@sercastamere9853 We have no right to judge the quality of another's repentance absolutely. Our duty is to pray for this person, and to exercise the same charity God has shown to us. It's also not wrong to state that ones sinful past has contributed to their current outlook on life, which can easily be how we interpret her words. "Not taking anything back" can be interpreted perfectly orthodox; God uses the sinful past of many saints to *make them saints*. Why not be charitable?
@@jordandthornburg if we could win over sin, we wouldn’t need Christ.
Jesus had a special place for fallen women. If you can't handle that then you will never know the heart of Jesus Christ's Mercy.
Oh yeah?
Right, the Bible goes out of it's way to show God's mercy to women who engage in sex work upon repentance. Sex work isn't some special category of sin God won't forgive.
That said, I do think Christians need to trust but verify. Be happy and joyful over the profession of faith, but don't shove them into media interviews 2 months after coming to Christ. I can only imagine what sort of terrible interview I would have given 2 months after surrendering to Christ. Give them some time to mature as a Christian before interviewing them.

@@extract8058 Very weird, puzzling comment. You must be on the spectrum to think this oddly.

If Paul, a murderer of Christians, can be saved, so can she. Jesus and Mary love her!
Well, he became a Catholic.
The whole “Paul is dead” thing is nothing but a conspiracy theory. They were never more popular than Jesus.
I've heard of a Blessed who was original a satanist. Truly, anyone can be saved
@@user-lv5xb5ug3q Yes! Blessed Bartolo Longo. Then we have St. Mary of Egypt who was practically possessed by lust demons from the age of 12, given the crazy levels of debauchery she engaged in for decades before her conversion. And St. Maria Gorreti's murderer? By today's std, he's a murder & pedophile and yet by all accounts, he likely died a saint himself, thanks to the intercession of St. Maria, his victim.
Don't forget Jesus forgave a prostitute because she humbled herself before Him and washed his feet.
How Pearl can call herself a Catholic publically while also publically stating she hates the very words of our Lord in the Gospel is really sad. Pray for her conversion towards the loving mercy of God
Pearl recently was defending that pick up artist redpill guy for demanding his ex abort their child. She’s just anti-woman. She’ll choose any side as long as it’s anti-woman she’s that much of a “pick-me” girl.
Pearl is in a bad spot.
Why do you judge her while defending the onlyfans sex worker who isn't even Catholic? Show some respect to the members of the Church.
I think we can judge both. Yes@@TheNemkris
@@TheNemkris because Catholics should be held to a higher standard. And Pearl is the one who brings up the fact that she was raised Catholic while saying all sorts of kooky things.
If someone not only sinned publicly, but also publicly encouraged others to sin, then it not only makes sense, but is right and just that after they repent they publicly denounce that sin and try to discourage and warn the public against it. In fact, for all of us one of the greatest goods that can come from our past sin is a specialised understanding and calling to save others from a particular evil we're intimately acquainted with. (It's true for all kinds of struggles and experiences, in fact. We should be at least familiar with the concept of testimony.)
Wow! That was put very well! Thank you for commenting! -Vanessa
How true! Thank you for articulating that!
Yes and I think you’re also saying you didn’t hear that from Nala….is that right? If so I agree
Some level of skepticism is warranted and we should be cautious about putting her on a pedestal, but she should also be met with warmth and kindness, we are all sinners and Christ's sacrifice covers us all
Yes. The simple solution is treat her like a normal convert. There should be no fame in it for sure, but she should be treated well.
Spot on. I think this whole "how dare you judge her" thing has been blown completely out of proportion. Most people are happy but realise its prudent to think she should have peace and quiet rather than shoving a microphone into her hand and fueling her attention addiction further.
This video misses the mark in that he completely shames people having any level of skepticism.
@@browserboy1984yeah. Trent is missing the context. The way Nala has acted on other recent podcasts should give anyone a pause before cheering her on.
@@browserboy1984 Where? Everyone he criticized were blatantly disrespectful and saying she should be permanently cast out. Show Trent some respect, dude. He isn't naïve or stupid.
Every saint had a past and every sinner deserves a future
You would never comment this if this was about a male child rapist. Pharisee.
The past of saints are pure.
St. Augustine of Hippo, St. Mary Magdaline, and St. Paul all beg to differ
Marry Magdalene wasn't a prostitute.
@@rosamorales729 No, many many saints were some great sinners. St. Paul, who is one of the most well known Saints, and writer in the Bible, used to hate and persecute Christians. He imprisoned them and was even holding the cloaks of the people who were stoning St. Stephen to death. But our Lord and God Jesus still appeared to him, loved him, and made him a great saint.
Pearl doesn't only hate women in general, she hates HERSELF the most. Let's pray for her.
Please don’t use God to attack someone you disagree with.

@@extract8058 Really? I was looking through the channel history and it seems like Only Fans has only been mentioned twice in the past ~30 or so videos. Were you talking about something specific?
The only ones who cannot be forgiven are those who refuse to forgive others. You are absolutely right Trent, we should rejoice for every lost sheep to be rescued. How can we enjoy salvation if we dont desire it for all?
That is foolish. A pious mother who's family is brutally murdered by someone won't be granted grace because she can't forgive the person?
That's exactly where God's own judgement and discernment comes in.
@@sercastamere9853 "and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us"
You'll be forgiven as much as you forgive.
Then there's also the parable of the debtors, who was forgiven the huge debt, but then he wouldn't forgive the smaller debt someone had owned him.
We have forgive to be forgiven. We have to forgive other people, who are all finite creatures like us,if we want to be forgiven by the Infinite God.
And any great tragedy that happens to us that needs forgiveness, that's the place where we can unite ourselves with God himself and be tools of His Mercy. It's a privilege.
@@sercastamere9853 Sure, but we're just pointing out what it says in Sacred Scripture. Literally right after the last verse of the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6 it says: "14 For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father also will forgive you; 15 but if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." It sounds like forgiving others had better be top priority for you if you expect to be forgiven yourself. So while judgement is up to our Lord, and He is a just judge abounding in grace and mercy, I think it is wise to take God at His word and place forgiveness of others at the forefront of your mind and heart.
@@sercastamere9853
God forgave you even though you didn't deserve it. Why then should you not forgive others?
Forgiveness is not synonymous with condoning or excusing or overlooking. Condoning suggests that the evil action was actually not evil at all. Excusing suggests that the evil action was not evil due to outside circumstances. Overlooking means pretending that the evil action never happened.
Forgiving means recognizing that the evil action was evil but choosing to let go of all anger, bitterness, and resentment that YOU have towards what happened. Forgiveness does not mean you need to be the culprit's friend or spend time with them or trust them. It simply means genuinely wishing for the culprit who committed that evil act to one day recognize what they did wrong, feel remorse, repent, and receive God's grace--just the same way you did.
If you are unwilling to share the grace of God with those you hate, then why should it be given to you?

People who act like that towards new Christians are usually the people who have never hit rock bottom. The story of the Prodigal Son is such a saving grace.
*Never hit rock bottom /physically/
It seems like to treat someone like that, you have to be falling pretty close to rock bottom on a spiritual level... it's really sad to see
@@inedanap6253 Good point.
Yep! I agree. It's the spirit of pride & I recognize it as very worldly. They look down on others because (1) they consider their sins worse than their own sins, (2) they disbelieve the reality of Grace & its healing power, (3) they disbelieve in God's mercy, (4) think that it's easy to avoid the other's sin because it's not their own struggle & they have not been allowed to fall in an area to the extent of truly realizing their wretchedness.
If you look at the Catholic works on mystical theology, the transition of beginner to proficient is usually done through a phase in which a lot of stripping is done & the soul sees itself as a sinner, weak, & utterly dependent on grace. So we can all hope that those who have not already been somewhat humbled by life's "rock-bottoms" will still find the opportunity in the dark nights of senses and spirit!
I really appreciate this commentary. Yes, our actions have real earthly consequences, and those can’t just be erased, but we belittle Christ’s sacrifice on the cross when we say doing porn is just too much sin for Christ’s blood to cover.
But this woman did not come into the Church. She was baptized as a protestant. No true baptism. No confession. No Eucharist. I'm sorry, but i just don't see her salvation yet, because all salvation comes through the Church.
@@jackpleb2360 the Church recognizes Protestant baptisms as valid provide it it done in a Trinitarian format and with water running off the scalp. If that was the case then her baptism was indeed valid. See the Council of Trent for full details.
No one is saying “it’s too much of a sin” Christians and non-Christians alike are levying criticism against the showcasing of a convert who has historically jumped between personalities. She claimed at one point that her preacher father supported her OF. People doubt her character because she’s lied before, plus she’s known about Christ her whole life. She spent 4 years building a sex-persona through OF and podcasts and pathologized these sins through “analyzing” her child-hood. The point is: she shouldn’t be getting any attention, positive or negative. Knowles is strange, and perhaps even naive for bringing her on.
@@jackpleb2360 bleh, "All the salvation comes through the church." That is some serious brain washing there buddy. Salvation comes through Christ, not the church. The church is merely an instrument of Christ, not to be put on a pedestal above him.

Hey man, I've been here before. I just want to encourage you by saying that Jesus' death on the cross paid the price for your sins. You don't do anything to pay for your own sins, but Jesus took the punishment meant for you when he died on the cross. Jesus' death on the cross justified you in the eyes of the Lord. Once you become a Christian, you begin the process of sanctification, where your life begins to be transformed be more Christ-like. But remember that sanctification does not earn your salvation! You have been justified, and therefore saved, from the moment you put your faith in Christ.
I encourage you to seek out some Christians who you trust in your life to reach out to them. It is hard to fight battles against sin when you have no one in life supporting you. I wasn't able to make serious progress against the sins I was facing until I admitted to my brother and then friends what I was struggling with. The body of Christ is meant to support each other. I will pray that you get the support you need from Jesus and from your church body.

They are thinking like the world. They need to think like a Christian.
To be fair, i don't think protestants are Christians. Can you get to Heaven after a long life of being a baptist? Methodist? 7th day Adventist? Or does Salvation come only from the One True Faith.
When you die, you will stand before the Lord as a Catholic, even if you have to take RCIA in purgatory.

@@andyy890 💯 I’m no expert on him but am familiar enough to know he turned away from serious sin later in his life. I feel like it’s almost logical that the greater the sinner, the greater right one has to the Lords unfathomable Mercy.
Trent is only charitable to the Christians he politically and morally aligns with, like this OF model. She blames the men in her life for her actions through pathology and then judges them repeatedly throughout the interview.
The love and mercy displayed by Catholics is what encouraged me to join my local Catholic church. When I reached out to the RCIA director, he welcomed me. The members of the church urged me to join them at dinner after the Novena to Santo Nino. I have never felt so overwhelmingly welcome before anywhere else. This love is what helps others make better decisions in their lives. To be Christ-like is to give grace. I hope Nala finds peace and happiness in her new life with Jesus.
As Catholics we need to understand that Our Lord came for sinners not saints.
The Church is a hospital for sinners, not a museum of saints.

Sending her your book is a really nice and charitable thing to have done. Let's hope she becomes a Catholic (assuming she hasn't already) and pray that she remains on the righteous path.
I watched the interview and she’s definitely some sort of Protestant. She seems genuine to me, and was ignorant of the Catholic things Micheal brought up.
It was Miss B who was sent the book and indeed, she was taken up in the Church recently. Praise God!
Brother Trent your kind words brought tears to my eyes. I get overwhelmed with awe every time I think of the goodness of Abba God. He is so kind and merciful towards His children though we don't deserve it. I'm so happy to welcome another sister to our family and I praise her adoption right along with the Heavenly host.
How can anyone deny the divinity of Jesus when He's capable of forgiving all and saving all? He's all powerful and all-loving to His creation. To deny this young lady of salvation is to deny Jesus' very divinity. It's akin to blasphemy and I pray that the Holy Spirit will soften the hearts of our siblings who think they know better than Jesus who is worthy of salvation. May God bless you and keep you Trent!
It breaks my heart a little to see fellow Christians mock or put down someone who is trying to start over and live a life in Christ as if they CAN'T ever be good enough
I was shocked by what I read from Loomer, the woman is a modern day phrased.
Not real familiar with loomer but some of these people only call themselves Christians it doesn't mean they are so it shouldn't be shocking when they don't have our Lord's love & mercy in themselves
She explicitly stated she does not regret her sins because they made her "who she is". She is not repentant yet therefore this entire pr campaign she's doing is deeply offensive to the faith.
@sercastamere9853 are you praying for her deeper conversion then if what you say is true?
@@vittoriacolonawell what religion is Loomer?? Uh oh.
I saw a post once that said St. Paul entered heaven to the cheers of those he martyred. So true! That’s Christianity. Forgiveness, and moving forward together in joy that they now agree with God. This can and should be applied to ALL sins, even those who repented from sexual sins.
As a great sinner myself that was saved by the love and great mercy of our Lord, intervention of our Mother, and loving priests who guided me patiently, only God has the right to judge, we as a great community and family only should call out, guide and support people to come back to our Lord, we cannot have the luxury to lose more souls.
I am from South America and I have seen many times in our community to be extremely skeptical and very cynical towards recent converts instead of welcoming them and support the process which is essential because you can go back to sin.
We are not perfect, we can fall out from Grace any moment.

Remember that time in the Bible where Jesus went up to a sinful woman and said “you’re irredeemable, stone her now”. No? That’s because it never happened, that was what the wisdom of the world said not what Christ said.
“But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness”

Good point!
I am a sinner, I can not condemn anyone as I am worthy of condemnation myself. I pray for God's mercy for all, especially those who have been affected by lust and adult content.
Amen
I try to remind myself often of a talking point from a homily I once heard in college. It was talking about the prodigal son and the quote is, "All of Heaven rejoices when the lost lamb is found." When anyone repents and accepts Christ we should be grateful regardless of who they are. So thankful for this episode Trent and for the kindness you offer. God bless
Beautifully said Trent. Praise be to God. Have mercy on us and on the whole world. 🙏
Thank you for the comment! -Vanessa
Mary Magdalene is an example for us all. Christ wants nothing more than a conversion of our souls.
The Bible doesn’t actually say that she was a prostitute. This is a myth that arose from mixing together three separate women, and the church no longer teaches this. The seven demons from which she was freed could have also been seven physical ailments.
Did Mary Magdalene keep the $9 million dollars from her sinning tho to live a comfy life? Always funny how many find God after securing “the bag”
Bible says she was possessed but never that she was a prostitute
Shoutout to all my fellow Protestant pastor converts “grifting” out there 😉 this is an important and timely episode as always!
Thanks to all the charitable Catholic brothers and sisters who welcomed me and several others home to the Catholic Church and thanks be to God for loving us sinners into His family 🙌🏼 May He give us the grace to boldly share the good news of His mercy and grace to all we meet through our words and deeds 🙏🏼
“By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” John 13:35
As a digital creator (I don't like that term, but YMMV) the issue is : the money in social media CAN BE OBSCENE. So aligning your content with some sort of large group (Religious, political, etc) can reap an incredible amount of money.
So, it makes sense to align yourself with some level of identity if you'd like to sell content/marketing/etc.
But...God's grace can absolutely change a life, and people shouldn't be surprised when someone comes to Christ and their lives change, but I'd think we also need to be cautious if they've got motivations that involve money when it comes to promoting themselves and a brand, if that's the case.
I totally get being skeptical on new converts like this. Absolutely. But even if we’re skeptical, we should always encourage and pray for conversion.
Just reading these tweets; 0:20 0:39 I can’t believe what I’m hearing. The whole time I was just thinking “Mary Magdalene”. These people have no concept of atonement or forgiveness. This stuff sends people straight to hell…how can you expect God to forgive you if you can’t forgive others? They don’t understand the magnitude of their own sin and that God is perfectly just in casting ALL of us into fiery damnation for all eternity for our “small” sins. No concept of Grace. Saying converts from this will never be acceptable or forgiven…that they shouldn’t even be allowed in society….just wow. Doesn’t matter if you’re skeptical of Nala, EVERY Christian should condemn what those people said…if you won’t, you should examine whether you should be calling yourself a Christian.
As a convert who committed a lot of sins before my conversion, I can tell you that the deeper a convert goes into the Faith, the more terrible their past sins appear to them (even with the full understanding that these sins have been forgiven). We haven't 'gotten away with' anything. It's a burden we'll carry till purgatory burns the last of it away.
@@JW-tg1nn Yes it is. Protestantism isn't a real thing.
I commend the people behind the animation work, or the graphics work (I don't know the technical term). They are great!
First I read the word "commend" as " condemn". I was confused and then I read correctly. 😂 Secondly technical terms are animators and graphic designers.
@@ARTCreationsOfficial I don't know why I found this funny😅
Trent, each time i listen your video upload, you make me become a better Catholic!
Thank you much.
It is not our place to judge this woman or any other person who repents and comes back to God. The road to heaven is a difficult one, Christians should not make it harder by casting stones. Thanks Trent for the reminder.
I stand with reserved skepticism. I just kinda wish this wack job would go away.
You have to repent first which means giving up your old life. In this case Nala still has an onlyfans account. ya'll are getting played.
That was literally the best take I have EVER heard from Dr. Taylor Marshal in my whole life. Amen!
It was a good one! -Vanessa
Her parents are no less dishonored/scandalized than before her actions. And when you see her reasoning, she kind of makes it all about her in the sense that it seems like everything that happened was just a matter of circumstances. “It’s society’s fault”, as if society made her set up the account and put the camera on the tripod for her. I don’t remember her saying “what I did was wrong, it was my choice to do evil, and I want to do good because I love God.”
She’s young. I remember being repentant when I was young and still be self focused. It is not our place to determine if she is truly repentant-God alone lnows
I’m a Protestant, mainly because of my belief in scripture’s authority and my inclination to scholasticism. Your content is wildly refreshing & gentle. It is so encouraging to see one emphasising simple, powerful Christian truths with no thought given to division between people. God bless you 🙏
This seems like something where the minority position (outright condemnation of her conversion) is being responded to instead of the majority position (skepticism about the veracity of her claims of conversion).
Amen Trent. I've seen a lot of hatred spread about this individual and as Christian people, we must have mercy as Christ has mercy. ✝️
She raped her boyfriend though and intentionally destroyed the marriages of her best friends by cheating on their husbands. Christianity absolutely does not teach that we are born again in this life and nobody can repent the sin of pride by going on a podcast. That is the opposite of being humble.
I feel this “can’t be saved” view is primarily Protestant (although Laura Loomer is Jewish). Maybe my net isn’t wide enough, but I haven’t seen any genuine Catholics I follow say anything like this. Rather, I’ve seen the Catholic side being encouraging and requesting prayers for these women
I think that’s a reflection of how the Catholic faith truly recognizes we have crosses to bear, and we don’t try to run from them.
And I realize Pearl was raised Catholic, but she’s clearly not practicing today
So every example you give is non protestant but you blame protestants?
That's about the level of reasoning ability I expect from people online.
I’m not “blaming” Protestants. Much of the Protestant faith is Christ without the cross, and I see this kind of reaction as a fruit of that. Since there’s no sacrament of confession in the vast amount of Protestant faiths, determining who is forgiven and who is not gets murky, and each individual person presents themselves as the authority over the validity of this forgiveness
I referenced Laura and Pearl bc that’s who Trent referenced in the video.
@@kdublock I'm new to the faith and worship within a Protestant church so I've never heard the term "Christ without the cross." What does that mean?
@@dahliaherrod4301 I know I will be generalizing greatly here bc there are thousands of Protestant denominations, but many teach the “once saved, always saved” theology. So, all you have to do to get saved is one simple act- that may be to get baptized, or say the sinners prayer, or just profess you believe Jesus is your savior.
It sounds easy enough, but then ask, what happens if a person sins again? Are they still saved? Since they’ve been saved once and for all, do they now have a free pass to sin as much as they’d like?
So if you press in on the issue to understand what happens to the professed Christian who sins, the answer ultimately leads to “they were never ‘real’ Christians to begin with”
However, the Catholic Church teaches that being saved - or, sanctification - is a process. Your sins are forgiven at baptism, but you’ll very likely sin afterwards. That’s why Catholics have the sacrament of confession. Since it is a sacrament instilled by Christ himself, you can be assured your sins are forgiven and your slate is wiped clean.
You can go to confession as often as you need to. Many of us struggle with grave sin and it will take time to kick the bad habit. Hence, this whole process of bettering yourself to walk away from sin is a process. It is a cross to bear, but grace flows through our sacraments so we can unite these crosses to Christ to help us carry them.
If instead you don’t recognize the sacrament of confession, it’s very tempting to just label a public sinner as not a ‘real’ Christian
It's more atheist and kind of jewish to be honest, atheists rarely can get past what they perceive as a wrong or as a slight against them, even if it's very far fetched and unrelated, and judaism is very legalistic, very little actual mercy if you go by the word of the law.
Thank you for covering this Trent. It’s so disheartening to see so many Christians being so unforgiving toward others and yet needing God’s forgiveness for themselves at the same time.
Nick Fuentes did a show on this topic which I found very insightful. I think the biggest problem I have with Nala's story is that she didn't convert to Catholicism but rather to a protestant denomination. This means she likely has no concept of confession and making amends, both of which are critical to true repentance. Back in the Middle Ages, some people's pennance after confession was to make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem to better help heal their souls. While that sounds extreme today, it was necessary. Nala has caused damage to thousands of young men and I believe if she is sincere, she should donate any money she made from porn, disappear from public life and go on a year long retreat.
Nick Fuentes said something reasonable? Hallelujah, it IS a miracle!
I hope she does, honestly. I imagine trying to work through a spiritual conversion while in the public eye, and without the sacraments, is not easy.
@inedanap6253 you might be surprised at how reasonable he is if you listen to him regularly. He only makes headlines because bad faith actors are trying to destroy his reputation.
@@DEZEKER08 After having listened to him, I very strongly disagree. He does not strike me as a particularly functional or well meaning individual. At BEST I think he is on the spectrum. He may talk in a calm and collected way in the face of emotional opposition, but that does not mean his views are rational. They're certainly not very Catholic, and I would be very careful taking his advice to heart
@inedanap6253 Has he said anything contrary to church teaching?
Hey brother, that guy is not who you want to be filling your head with.
You are gravitated towards him for probably legitimate reasons and needs. But whatever you get from him that you might need is not worth whatever misguided influence he will have in other areas.
A little leaven leavens the whole loaf
May God always take care of you and your family Trent. Your online content is wonderful.
Laura Loomer and Pearl Davis are two people whose words I put little weight to.
💯💯💯
Yes. As usual Trent has such a balanced argument rooted in scriptures and church teaching.
So many of these people are lucky God is not petty. Imagine you're getting judged only to see those same people you wrote off as the "garbage of society" and "irredeemable" walk by
Thank you for your very charitable take about this matter! Praise the Lord!
It is very hard to be charitable towards people like Pearl. If anyone is grifting, it is clearly her.
One of the best things about being a Christian is I don’t have to worry about someone’s heart and whether or not they are truly repentant. Jesus takes care of that.
No. You should seek discernment in the hearts of other Christians to root out corruption. “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.”
@@aidanmurray7319true we can judge behavior not someone heart unless they’ve actually really told you what is in their heart.
So some skepticism is warranted from a convert sure, however not to the point where you forget about Gods ability to forgive. These people would’ve shunned Saul when he became Paul. The Apostles welcomes Paul.
This also Doesn’t mean you have to be friends or whatever but also rude to continually shun them if all their recent behavior shows a true conversion
@@catholicguy1073Actually, people were hesitant around Paul for a bit. It's in Acts 9. Ananias is told by God Himself to go meet with Paul, and he had doubts, but was reassured. Later, the Christians in Jerusalem feared him too (Acts 9:26.)
That's not to say it's the correct way to behave, just that it's not unprecedented, and is fairly normal.
@@MeanBeanComedy Nala isn't killing Christians though. She's definitely shown some pretty dramatic fruit that shows repentance. She's not just mouthing words. Closing her OF account and walking away from making millions a year, as she was a top 1% earner, is very dramatic fruit. Humbling herself on the Micheal Knowles interview and actually apologizing to all the men she led astray, and calling women to think twice before they go on the terrible road she went down is wonderful. One of the most touching comments I saw under that interview was a young man who had been terribly addicted to porn. He said that he didn't know he needed to hear that apology from a porn creator, until he heard her say it. And that it was really healing for him somehow. I guess it had to do w/ the guilt and shame he was carrying, and her apologizing to him was deeply personal. It just really touched me. Someone else said they are going to church for the first time because of her testimony. Praise God.
@@saintejeannedarc9460 I didn't say she was the same. I was replying to the reference about Paul.
I found your channel through RZ and I am so happy I did. your videos are so good
Reminds me of an adult actress went on a Protestant show exposing the adult industry but jumped back in a couple years later because she felt trapped. The places she worked at when recognized as an adult actress gave her awkward treatments
Meeting and getting to know converts is so exciting. They help reinvigorate my continual conversion. Thank God for them!
I absolutely LOVE the new editing style!
Best and most important video in a while. Thanks for speaking the truth Trent!
I wish people would stop giving Ms Davis so much attention. She knows what she’s doing and thrives off of it.
likewise you should not give Nala attention
@@hippios Nala is talking about conversion, not spreading a feminist-style anti-Christian reddit pseudo-religion like Pearl. When she starts talking about nonsense, no one should pay her any mind.
I think there’s a difference between shunning and ostracizing someone (this is wrong) who recently converted and repented of their old ways and having a wait and see attitude.
Well, we wait to see if she is being genuine or not. Her fruits will show if this is true.
If she has truly converted it is up to us to accept her into the brethren.
Son of the parable. Even if she stopped just onlyfans and premarital sex, that would get her out of most mortal sin.
God already knows her heart. I hope you just come to her with love and a willingness to accept that Jesus came for sinners.
Be kind and pray for her
@@AestheticsOfTheMindwhat’s her heart mind reader
I confess to wanting to accuse her in a video comments section of grift, but I thought better of it. My concern was that she was still using the public look and image of her pronography days (anime reminiscent red hair and makeup). However, I do not know enough about her or her intentions to treat that as material evidence of a lack of true conversion. She may hope to use her recognizability to make her conversion a more effective tool for the conversion of others. I praise God for her repentance and salvation through Jesus Christ!
I agree, and yet I think the early Church would say that penance is necessary, if one has already been baptized. The default was also 3 years of living the Christian life before baptism.
For me the opposite is true, if these woman can’t be saved, then God’s love is limited, and therefore God is not God. Also, these hypocrites do all the same things in private. They believe watching porn is fine, but making porn makes a woman untouchable.
The more sinful the sinner, the greater the glory to God in saving the sinner. God demonstrates his love in this, that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for the ungodly. Where sin increases, grace abounds. (And I am just quoting scripture, if you don’t like it, take it up with Jesus). Jesus saves us completely from our sins, this means not only forgiving us, but also transforming us to be perfect. So I am not saying that we should sin that grace might increase.
Praise God for saving people out of the porn industry.
Well said!!
Thank you!!! My heart aches for this situation.
What a beautiful presentation of the Gospel, Trent! You have glorified God's power and grace to save even a sinner like me. May the Lord lead Nala to sainthood, for He is more than able to do so!
Thank you so much for the thoughtful comment ! -Vanessa
It's naive to think a person has turned it around in one day when they haven't accepted responsibility for their actions and all they've done is say one prayer one time. The church is like a clinic for your soul. God can turn someone around overnight, but for most of us it will take a period of penance and healing, reworking habits, and God-willing dropping the stain of those sins from our souls. If someone isn't doing that work then what is their conversion really about? This sort of thing only makes sense to protetstants.
This doesn't apply to Trent imo, but as far as I can tell most people who stream or otherwise are doing content have mental issues, they are narcissistic, amoral, and attention seeking. I say this with love for them, but we have to be realistic about the kind of person who constantly seeks this kind of attention. We should be skeptical of any high profile, streamer, youtuber, etc. who is telling us exactly what we want to hear because they're very good at appealing to the crowd, reinventing themselves, and just generally finding ways to take advantage of attention.
I'm not saying Nala is faking it, btw. I hope and pray it is genuine, but it's going to need to be more than just a moment. Also I was not impressed with the way she described her experience, she didn't take responsibility for her actions which suggests she may not understand yet exactly what it means to have a conversion. I don't think she should be shunned or mocked, but imo she does need to be taking time out of the limelight to heal and until that happens I am skeptical. Not that my opinion matters at all, tho.
Living virtuously definitely takes time a practice. I feel the same way you do
Shes treated skeptically because shes monetizing and bringing fame to her conversion. Thats what has it seeming disingenuous. People arent questioning her sternly without cause.
God might forgive cowardice and passion, but was it possible to forgive the habit of piety?

Why did I tear up reading Miss B's response?
Because you’re effeminate
People compare this story to the Prodigal Son while forgetting that the other son was prodigal in his own way.
Like the "well-behaved" son, the people condemning her want to feel above her in some way, like they aren't also in need of God's mercy.
My personal opinion is we should rejoice for this sister's turn to Christ while discouraging her away from making content at all (adult or not). She has more gifts to provide the world than being a spectacle, and "content creation" has clearly been harmful to her spiritually and we should not condone it for her or tune in.
I think she would benefit from discussing her path with a priest. St. Mary of Egypt, pray for us.
Great video, Trent. Salvation and grace are gifts from God. No matter what we do on earth, we will never be enough because of sin. Pearl is truly disturbed, and I hope that one day she will be freed from whatever spirit is haunting her. Regarding Nala, I am so happy she has returned to Christianity. Amazing how God used her friend (now husband) to reel her back to him. Have a blessed week everyone!
Conversion is an ongoing process. I am a still converting daily, hopefully nearer and towards God.
Trent, your content just gets better and better, even once I think you’ve exhausted all the apologetic material and analysis of current events. Well done.
Thank you so much for your support! -Vanessa
The editing is sick! I love the improvement editing-wise and everything else as well!
Thank you for this Trent, I think what you said here applies to so many of us sinners generally, really needed to hear this 🙏🏻
I'll believe she's genuine when she's silent and not constantly wielding her sin to grow her online persona
And gives her 9 MILLION to charity.
@@SydneyCarton2085 yeah People like Trent make excuses like Christ forgiving people with similar pasts but forget that after their lives intersected with Christ they changed completely
I was taught through Islam, I once asked my father about other religions that are not Muslim going to hell. He responds “you have no right to condemn someone to hell that is gods doing” and explained to me a story of a man who was scolded by god for condemning another man to hell.
Though I am not as religious as I used to be, I take these words to heart, though I believe people do wrong that doesn’t mean they are damned to go to hell they still have the power to right there wrongs and that is between them and god not me

Thank you for this. You said every point I would share with Pearl if I knew her. Those who have been forgiven little, forgive little & love little. Pearl’s comment about hating that parable shows how she is mistaken and thinks being Christian is earning your way into heaven by checking off certain boxes. She hasn’t experienced God’s deep grace, or has forgotten it.
The world judges because it doesn’t receive God’s forgiveness.
I wanted to listen to this while doing work, but the editing was so engaging I couldn’t look away. Whoever you hired did a fantastic job! Excited to see what else they can do.
I think it is so disgusting to attack a new convert like those ppl do. I am happy someone like you are able to do the right thing, Trent.
That is your emotional take on what is happening. Not an objective take.

Thank you so much for this comment! -Vanessa
Her "conversion" is suspicious and deserving of being questioned since she made it all about herself in a way. She also denied her culpability in the sinful "job" she had, saying she was "tricked" into doing it, and ignoring the fact she wasn't forced at all and that she willingly kept doing her sinful "job" for all this time.
She now left her career with comfortable 9 million and can live the rest of her life without degrading herself.
Everything you listed points to false convert and then some. The culpability thing really ticks me off.
Ya this screams bad
She literally said in her interview with Knowles that she is accountable for everything..
She never said she was tricked. Be careful because God just might judge you by your own standards. If you don't think corn stars are redeemable you better not be watching it.
@@Rocky-ur9mn Really? Idk I ctr + F'ed the transcript of the interview and didn't find anything like that (maybe I didn't look for correct words, even though I looked for multiple different words). Maybe she said it in an indirect way or that she was merely sorry for her sin. Overall she gave off a vibe that she was much much more of a victim than a perpetrator.
After singing in a Catholic choir for almost 7 years, I'm going through catechesis.
I'm not going through RCIA.
The priest has given his blessing for this atypical conversion.
When the Medici family made their wealth from usury and shady dealings their confessor told them to donate to the poor and to the Church and their sins may be forgiven. At the very least if she really did make 9 million with this debauchery she should donate at least a portion of it. Forgiveness does not mean a total lack of consequences if it works that way no one will ever take Christianity seriously.
Exactly. What if I go to confession and the priest tells me to stay away from the near occasions that led to my sin, and I say, "no Father, I don't have to do that." The priest wpuld have every right to believe I wasn't truly contrite and withhold absolution.
Beautifully said, Mr. Trent! 🙏
Thank you for watching! -Vanessa
Thank you Trent! It’s was strange hearing all the “certain” doubt from Catholics. It’s so self righteous
