John Michael Talbot is a multi-platinum selling, Grammy / Dove award winning Contemporary Catholic Christian Music pioneer. His music has been the soundtrack to the faith journey of millions of believers throughout the world! Late Have I Loved You - his 59th album - was released Ash Wednesday 2024!
A Best-Selling (and prolific) Author, John Michael’s 37th book, "The Lord's Supper: A Eucharistic Revival" was published in 2023. His first autobiography. "Late Have I Loved You" was released Ash Wednesday, 2024.
In 2019 John Michael established his "Inner Room of Spirituality" - an online teaching community designed to lead you into a deeper relationship with Christ and His Church through the wisdom of Scripture, Monasticism, Community Living and the teachings of the Church Fathers.
John Michael lives and leads the monastic life, which overflows into his very active ministry from Little Portion Hermitage in Arkansas, where he is the Founder and General Minister of the Catholic based community The Brothers and Sisters of Charity.
I grew up listening to John Michael. I am in Rcia and am planning on entering the church later this year. I grew up protestant. But my mother liked Michael Card and truly loved the Brother to brother album. Eventually, we had multiple JMT's albums. I would like to think God used him, through his music to soften my heart towards Catholics and the church as I became an adult I don't remember having the typical protestant attitude towards catholics which eventually led to me attending Catholic Mass and working towards not only myself, but bringing my children into the church as well.
God bless you!
Jess, sweetheart, you comment sends joy into my heart, and l send that joy to you!
Your story is unique.... it also gives me strength, when l read converts coming of their own
free will, accepting the Roman Catholic Church:
As Catholics we must always to our Almighty God in the highest and on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased.
That Brother to Brother album was epic! Nearly 30 years, and it never gets old!
Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!
I am Catholic and watching from India. 👍
Excellent Catholics in India!
Let us pray for our Monks, Hermits, enclosed orders and the growth of holiness in the the Catholic Church. God bless John Michael and his monastery. 🙏
Please pray for the Missionaries of Divine Mercy in San Antonio Texas for courage and wisdom to continue forth in Our Lord's Divine Will!
In 1992, i was a Wesleyan and a charismatic friend took me to see John Michael Talbot at a Baptist church in Birmingham, Alabama. It was the first time i experienced true rest in God and the first time i knew Catholics were actually Christian. I ended up becoming Catholic in 2004. BEST decision of my life. I am so grateful Jesus welcomed me home.
Inspired me 🎉
It’s the Baptist CULT. Please read my other comment.
What is "true rest in God"?
@@jeromepopiel388 Knowing God can handle everything. Knowing God isn't depending on me to accomplish His goals. Knowing God's capable of looking out for me. Knowing that when Jesus says, "My yoke is easy and my burden is light," He actually meant it. I'd never experienced that peace before.
Yes!
I think St. Augustine had a similar situation.
This is part of my story. My closest Catholic friend kept on loving me and respectfully discussing theology with me. Seven years later, she was my sponsor.
Oh my! I’ve always loved John Michael’s music. I grew up Protestant evangelical but have always been drawn to the quiet, contemplation, and the beauty of the Lord. “Come to the Table” was a God send, comforting me through very difficult times, helping me to hear from heaven, assuring me of God’s presence. Thank you, Michael, for your music ministry and testimony here. And guess what, I was received into the Catholic church this Easter 2024! I think I’ve always been Catholic at heart, and your music no doubt was a seed along my journey home! God bless you! And God bless this CZcams channel sharing powerful stories of hope 🙏❤️
God bless you in your faith journey
@@kfresne3011thank you so much 🙏
How do you reconcile all the praying to Mary and dead people in the RCC when the bible tells us in Deuteronomy 5 not to make any graven image.
How can the pope give you time of purgatory?
Do you really believe that when the pipe sits excathedra - his words can overrule the Bible?
Do you really believe that the bread of the mass turns into the body of Christ? Surely Jesus died once for repentant sinners.
Beware of false christs.

I had severe neck injury, chronic neck pains, the Doctor advised me to stop working and go on disability, but I told the Doctor give me the pain medication for now, I will try it and will be back to see him in few days, but I never went back to the Doctor because I had the mortgage payment and kids in private school.About 30 minutes before going to work I put heating pad on my neck and listened to John Michael Talbot music for about 10 years. My neck injury was totally healed.
BRILLIANT! GOD BLESS: THAT'S THE GOOD NEWS:
YOU SEE HOW WE ARE "ALL" CONNECTED ❤
Music and a heating pad often do the trick for my shoulder too. Praise be.
🙏🙏🙏
Wow! 🙏
Save that story. Someday John Michael Talbot might be up for canonization and that could count as a miracle.
I'm indian catholic watching from Russia ❤. Thank you for your evangelical work 🙏✝️👑
I am a cradle Catholic watching from Sri Lanka.
A peaceable and quiet life. A secret walk with Christ. Beautiful.
In the early 90s I was introduced to Talbot's music. I was an evangelical/Pentecostal. This revolutionized my faith. It took me sometime to eventually become Catholic (2012). John Michael Talbot is probably the biggest (earthly) reason why I became Catholic. Thank you brother Talbot!
He brought you here, Jesus in the Eucharist will keep you here.
Praise God Almighty ☝️🙏 Viva Cristo Rey
Mary can't do a thing for you in the next life. Without holy spirit. All who says that "I am a Christian" will eventually move on to different sects. They lead their life their own way. Bible tells us that God wants to lead our life. After jesus the oe who has authority over us is Holy Spirit. Without him we are zero. If you change to a Muslim sect also it's not unbelievable for us. May your God Mary Bless You.
@@ectech3623 Mother Mary is the Holy Spouse of The Holy Ghost, and They have been One for a pretty long time.
Queen Mother Mary is not our God and we don't worship Her, but we are obedient with Honoring Our Father and Our Mother 😉
And Father God has given Her the Honor of Crushing the snakes head.
Jesus Christ is King, and that would make His Mother the Queen Mother, and We all should give Her the Honor and Respect that She deserves.
If someone trash talked about your own Mother, I would hope you would have the courage and conviction to Defend Her Name 👍
Why do you think it would be any different with Our Lord Jesus 🤔
Don't talk badly about His Holy Mother, or His earthly Father, St Joseph.
There's a beautiful poem about the three days of Jesus being in the tomb and His descent into the underworld to Rescue the Just. And there's one Man He's desperately looking for, and when He finds him, the first words from the old Man was, Son ohh Son, how is Your Mother, how is Your Mother 😘😁
I cried like a baby 🤣☝️🙏
It's a Family Thing 🙏
Viva Cristo Rey
@@ectech3623😕
“One Bread One Body” is so moving. For months I used to tear up when I would play the video (San Miguel) of it. It is still a favorite. During the plannedemic when our church had Mass outsideI I used my bluetooth speaker to play it for everyone at Communion. We became holier through the trial. We realized The Catholic Faith is all we need.
“Holy Is His Name” is wonderful as well. (I am in the Legion of Mary.). We sing it at our annual Achies Mass.
Thank you for this interview; I enjoyed it. ✝️🙏❤️🌷👏👏👏👍😊
What is his full name please!
@@dougmoore5252 Do you mean the guest (guy with white hair and long white beard)? That's John Michael Talbot.
Love this hymn very much.
Catholicism It's false claims, rituals, traditions of men.. It's religious trappings.. deceiving many in the last days .. While many have left..
And many many more need to leave.. it's been openly signed decades w/the Fraternal Brotherhood in Abu Dhabi Interfaith headquarters Promoting a world religion Leading false Peace False Unity .. Blasphemous .. Designed Vatican Center as a serpent interior and exterior..
The Altar the head w/eyes and fangs in 24/7 Satan worship welcoming the AntiChrist And denies the Gospel..
The Gospel does not teach " Interfaith " ...
The Gospel declares There is One Faith Ephesians 4-5 One Lord One Faith One Baptism ~
There is One Faith.. It's not Islam Buddhism or Hinduism ... The warnings will go out a short time longer .. The Word of God is plain..
There is No Abrahamic covenant outside of Jesus .. Galatians 3:28 There is neither jew nor greek; there is neither bond nor free; there is neither male nor female in Christ For ye are all One in Christ 20 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed and heirs according to the Promise ~ John 8:58 Truly I tell you l Before Abraham was I am ~.
Matthew 24:14 And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world as a witness unto all Nations and then the End shall come ~
Millions won't be ready ... Get Ready .. There will be No excuse ...
Matthew 24:34 This generation shall not pass away until all these things are fulfilled ~
Romans 10:17 So then Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God ~

Hi! I am a lay person , from Quebec ,Canada, and I was so sad , going to Church in my community because of all the talking before, during and after Holy Mass , their was no longer silence , no place for adoration ,meditation, the Sacred ….and I began to feel even angry about the people even about the Priests because I was unable to pray in silence, to adore my Lord etc….
But one day. Just before Covid, I discovered a monastery near my city …..in French it’s called "le Monastère du Coeur de Jésus"…..at my first Holy Mass there, I knew that I had find home, my spiritual family…..and now, I am in the process of entering their third order "Jésus Caritas " …..when I go their I am in paradise, feel so close to God , and the Holy Family…..I am sooooooo happy that God brought me there 😌🙏
May God bless you , two, and everyone here who are listening these wonderful nourishing videos, abundantly, abundantly….Amen 😌🙏🛐✝️
God bless you, Francine.
By the way , I watch your wonderful videos with such a joy in my heart ❤️! They are food for our souls who are in such a need of all those testimonies in our world darkness…..thank you so much and may God bless you abundantly, your loved ones and your important work 🙏✝️
Love from a French catholic friend 😌❣️
Bless you John Michael Talbot.
I have been a fan for 45 years so far
I got hired on a tree crew in 1989.
One of my co workers asked me what religion I was? I said Catholic. He asked if I ever heard of John Michael Talbot ?
I said yes. He was a Protestant and he loved him. LoL
Wasn’t John Michael Talbot a Catholic.. I saw him in person..❤️🕊
@@maryadame44 he was a convert to Catholic
@@maryadame44it was special to see John Michael and Terry playing with mostly protestant musicians at the music festivals.
I bet the majority of the folks were not aware he was Catholic. I'm not sure if Terry became a Catholic, YET 🤔
@maryadame44 I always assumed he was a Catholic monk! I am Catholic. I did not know about Protestants back then.
As a choir member in a Catholic Church, I always get teary eyes and/or feel moved whenever I sing any of the music written by John Michael Talbot. I found them to be so spiritually beautiful.
'Holy is His Name' always makes me cry.....soooo beautiful ! We sang this one last Sunday at Mass !
I used to listen to John Michael Talbot as a kid with my Protestant family. Him, David Meece, and Richard Mullins were three of my favorite artists as a child. It was a comfort to hear Richard Mullins planned to come home just before his death and I was very encouraged when I discovered John Michael Talbot converted many years ago.
You found the Pearl of life. Our Lord Jesus Christ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Even if you did not want to make those albums, they are Such a Blessing! I was a “breakaway “ Catholic in my late teens and early twenties who came back to my faith and yet again became lukewarm and am now finally REALIZING . (Words cannot express…)
Every time i have looked for music to inspire and guide me-John Michael Talbot is the first name i search. “Holy Spirit, come with your fire” resonates in my heart of my soul. And so many more are so important and special. I will pray for you and monks who love and cherish our faith in such a special way!❤🙏🏼💗🕊️
"The best ballgame in town " reminds me of the fallen away Catholic Irish author of "Angela's Ashes" during a talk show interview. When asked about the Catholic Church he said regardless of his situation "No matter how you slice it, it's still the best game in town."
I love that song “One Bread One Body” too. 😊
Thank you for not speaking so much and letting the guest tell his story. Subscribed.
I am catholic, baptized, and confirmation, and very devote❤️🕊
@tony1685 you are very sad. Our sacramental life - grace filled sacraments instituted by Christ is rich. Your loss.
Saw him perform at a charismatic(!) conference in the early ‘80’s along with Mother Angelica.
Alone, I am with Christ, in suffering I am in grace, in isolation I am in peace..❤️🕊
Detachment from this life is Attachment to God.
My husband and I were married in 1979. He became a Christian right after we were married, he was raised Episcopalian. I was raised Assemblies of God and we attended first assembly of God in Memphis where I and where we lived. At the time. I grew up with a mother who was an opera singer and was paid to sing in various churches throughout the Memphis area. Her brother was also and opera singer but on a professional level. So I grew up around all the cultural arts and when we came upon. John Michael Talbot's music, I think it was around 1981 or 1982, we were both hooked! We would play his music every evening before we went to bed and would be on the couch together and just meditate on the words of the music. They are very scriptural and we love it! I still have most of his music that I have bought CDs now and back then we had them on cassette. We love the heart of God inJohn. Michael Talbot.
and a fact that Catholics and the world do not know is that the musical notes were made by Catholic Church, the Do-Re-MI-FA-So-La-SI were made by a Prist name Guido of Arezzo (Italian: Guido d'Arezzo;[n 1] c. 991-992 - after 1033) was an Italian music theorist and pedagogue
Thank your John Michael for this powerful revealing interview. You were a major influence in my Baptism in the Holy Spirit in my living my Holy Catholic Faith. The first time I heard your music was when my newly born again future spouse Evangelical Protestant was playing Come to the Quiet on her cassette player. My response was: "That guy sounds Catholic!". Her response was: "I don't know, I just like him!" Now she is a very faithful devout Catholic! Praise be the Lord! I plan to show this awesome interview to my last RCIA class this Wednesday.
Fantastic! Thank you for sharing this.
I truly believe that C S Lewis never became "Catholic" because he was on the road to the True Catholic Church and would never have led many Protestants to the fullness of the Faith if he had fully completed the Journey. Our gracious Lord works in Mysterious and Merciful Ways!
When I had my recon and became a Third Order Franciscan, I dedicated my prayer life to the conversion of John Michael Talbot. His music even before his conversion touched me in a special way.
Oh my goodness, what a great inspiration JMT is to our Catholic Faith. THANK YOU! My uncle was a Franciscan priest in Indianapolis at one time. Wonder if you were there at the same time?? Fr. Philip Pavich, OFM. I know he loved your music.
Your music does connect generations. My mom played it too while I was "protesting" but we both could appreciate it!
thank you for sharing your love for my Catholics faith.
Been a fan of JMT since '83...saw him perform with the DSO at the Dallas Convention Center 12/15/84 and prayed with him afterwards. I also attended a workshop he conducted outside of Austin, TX.
When I became a "prodigal" of sorts and ventured away from the RCC, I still listened to his first five albums which kept me centered on Christ and His Church.
I am making my way back, being drawn back, and absolutely loved this interview! I consider myself blessed for having seen and heard it.
Grace & Peace of Christ be with you...
Great to hear, brother! God bless you. Peace be with you.
There’s a message from John Talbot to my father in a book called “The Lessons of Saint Francis”. He and Terri signed the book for my dad and even put what looks like a little frog face with its tongue sticking out. I found the book with this autograph shortly after my dad died a few years back.
I was in the Army, on leave in I think 1985, and found his book. It always stuck with me. I still have it.
Wow! I clicked on this but don't have time to listen but can't wait to get back to it. This is exciting!!
Jesus is Lord….I am saved!
Catholics, Please do not take your Faith for granted. Time might never be on our hands again so now is the moment so let us dust ourselves, live lives most pleasing to God Most High, not worldly, and carry the torch of Christ and be sure we will receive our just and eternal reward. Like devout Bishop Fulton Sheen, deliberately delayed of Canonization by some corrupt clerics, said that in the end it will be eternal Heaven or hell.
GOD'S GOOD ALLELUIA AMEN WATCHING FROM NEW ZEALAND ❤CATHOLIC 🙏🙏
Around 36-38 minute mark when JMT contrasted individual-ism with the community of family as the basic community- I was reminded of a time in aprox 1987-88 when a Mental Health/Substance Abuse Rehabilitation “specialist” we met with blind-sided my husband and I with what felt like vicious attack against our family structure as a cohesive unit model, as though we were abusive to our children in neglecting their individual-isms and identity.
John Michael Talbot's music is one of my favorites.
My mom was a big fan, then i became one in my teens mid '80s. Went to hear JMT play at a packed Church and was so moved i donated a Benjamin, as a teenager! 😂
51:00 Oh wow! He totally nails it about the issues with modern worship music. So well articulated and insightful.
Thank you for this wonderful and inspirational interview. It gave me an increased appreciation of John Michael Talbot’s background and music.
Welcome home Sir. Praise The Lord Jesus Christ. May Lord Jesus bless you. Amen.
Wow , so eloquent and deeply moving. Knowing the successes of the world and yet - chosing Christ. Thank you for sharing your gems and all the research that has been done re. Church evolution handed to is on a plate. Would love to have been a nun - just discovered this option a few decades too late 😅. Wish I could see thosr gardens, but in South Africa. Praise God for men of faith who yearn for His presence more than anything else. We were so blessed by this interview 🙋
Three of my favorite songs by John Michael are One Faith, Only in God, and I Am the Bread of Life, but I've never heard a John Michael Talbot song that I didn't like and I've been listening to his music for over forty years. I'll be seventy two in August. God bless.
What a beautiful soul..I could listen to John Michael for hours.
Thank you both so much .What an inspiration in these times to have him in our midst and in our Church.🙏☘️
"Brother To Brother" is in my top 3 favorite worship works. It is the picture of ecumenical love for Jesus that I have had the joy of experiencing in my extended family.
Thank you for shining a light on how our Catholic Church is going in the wrong direction. Please continue to pray for our church that we turn our hearts over to God .
I had the honor to be able to see John Michael and Terry at a charismatic conference at the fountain blue Hilton on Miami Beach back in the early 80s.
Andre Crouch and The Pat Terry Group and a bunch more were playing for Jesus.
Campus Life Youth for Christ had already gotten me out of the Catholic Church and I didn't like it.
That was a priority for Bill Bright and Jim Green in South Florida. If you were a Catholic, you would be pulled out of the Catholic Church.
Keith Green was a favorite of mine back in the day and I almost went to Last Days just before he died.
Music has been such a huge part of my journey Home, but I can only play the radio 😅
John Michael, probably my favorite is Behold Now the Kingdom, and See with New Eyes ☝️🙏
I'm forever grateful for Steve Wood for taking the time to talk to me while he was writing his chapter of Surprised by Truth back in the early 90'. By the time I finished the second of four cassette tapes, I knew that I had to come back Home and I was going to lose many friends. I did, and I did. Praise God Almighty ☝️🙏 Viva Cristo Rey
Oh my goodness! John Michael's observations on the Church in the West...individualism and individuated...are right on! As well, as a nearly 80 yr. old who just celebrated 55 yrs in the Church what he says about the condition of the Church and the loss of the contemplative in our culture speaks directly to the longing in my heart and reflects my fears for the future. This is going out to all my Catholic friends, young and old, to hear these prophetic utterances from this iconic Christian elder! Blessings on you both!
So glad to hear his conversion story! Love his music! ❤️🔥 Would love to know where he attends church!
What an amazing interview. God Bless John Talbot. I would so come to your retreat but live in New Zealand. God Bless both
JMT is absolutely one of my favorite people ever!! Thanks for having him on the podcast!
Welcome home John Michael ❤
Thank you John Michael
John Micheal, your music and all the Christian bands you mentioned etc had a huge influence in my life. You helped to lay the groundwork for me before I eventually came into the Church.
What a fabulous interview…. God Bless You Both 🙏🙏
Wow, I didn't realized he did those music. Thanks for this interview.
Thanks for watching.
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful ! Thank you so much for sharing this interview! Now I will search for some of Michael's wonderful music !
Uh oh. As soon as he mentioned the Church Fathers, I knew his Protestantism was a gonner (same here!). 😁
Same here!🙏🏻❤️😃
The missing link!
I'm a protestant, or perhaps I should call us Bible believers. We use the Early Church so-called Fathers to show that the early, pre-Augustinian church did not believe in Calvinism. RCC automatically co-opts the whole history of Christianity, all the way back to Jesus, but Jesus said that Simon was _petros,_ (m), little rock or piece of gravel, and upon this _petra,_ (f) big, bedrock, I will build my church. We date RCC to the Edict of Toleration by Constantine, so we don't accept the RCC as the first church, but rather simple, biblical faith in Jesus.
I was introduced to Talbot at SCRC (So CA Charismatic Renewal) in 1980. He’s been my favorite Catholic musician. Still love to listen to my CD Come to the Quiet. In my Bible I put 🎵 notes & can sing the Psalms as I read. His music & talks have deepened my faith, as JM says, gives me the spark that draws me to Jesus & Mary.💝
Thank you John Michael, for following God’s voice & purpose for you. Even though I actually had a Mason Profitt album, it was at Bible School (Portland Oregon) where I first heard a worship song which produced a deep soul response in me. That song was “Create in me, a clean heart O God. ….Let me like You in all Your ways…”
And so began my journey of being nurtured, comforted, and encouraged towards a deeper walk with Christ. The praise belongs to the Lord, of course. ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
Great interview with John Michael Talbot. God has used him as an inspiration in music! 🎚🎵 🎶 🎼 🎚 1:00:17
😮words l never forget……stoop to conquer…..
I remember seeing and hearing his music at a charismatic event. Bought two of his CD’s. 🙂
I discovered john michael talbot's music when i become a choir member in our parish since then i already love listening to all his music and inspired the story of his conversion. Praise be to God! I am your new subscriber brother, more power to your ministry. Watching from the Philipines
Awesome testimony and very relatable, thank u!
I have loved his music for so long ! Actually have a CD in my vehicle always !
My sister loves him and so when I saw Table of Plenty at some little shop I happened upon years ago, I bought it intending to give to her.... I still have it. I love his voice and some of these have always been favs to sing at Mass.
I can relate to the crying during his songs. It didn't start happening until I was in my 20's but now that I have returned, Be Not Afraid will get me everytime. I can't sing it in mass bc I will start crying and I don't want anyone wondering what's happening to me lol
I really enjoyed this interview and learning about John Talbot. I believe I have heard of his name before, but I was unaware of his music and story, which is fascinating and obviously inspired. I will look into John's music and his book about the mass. Thank you for this interview!
This was an incredible interview! I LOVED it.
God, please continue to bless this man and his music🙏
JMT's songs are in Spotify! And yes they are in Deezer HiFi too! You actually use them in your daily mental prayer on your BT earphones.
John Michael Talbot I love your music and I absolutely love you! This interview is an answer to a prayer that I could listen to your testimony. God bless you for planting good in my life from the first time I heard your music years and years ago.
Thanks be to God
I'm sure after he recorded such beautiful music many many people prayed for his conversion .
A beautiful interview. If I were to close my eyes and listen only, I would be convinced I'm listening to Bishop Strickland, both in accent and in manner.
JMT and his brother Terry made 2 records in the 80s that are huge for me: “The Painter” and “No Longer Strangers.” Anyone who’s remotely interested in “Christian contemporary music” should listen to them both, but especially “The Painter.” I hope to shake his hand someday, in thanks for what those records have done for me spiritually and musically.
Always love JMT's music.
Congrats! You have passed 10k!
Thanks, Marcus! Peace, brother.
One day, if given monastic quiet time with God's voice, I will respond/add to your message here. I am a Protestant convert (online dialogue) of many years who resonates with so many parts of your story and ministry. No online testimony. Simple conversion history and expression through the Internet. Thank you for this wonderful testimony!
Thank you for the video. After 3 years in the Army I became a convert during early college years.. I remember one album 'Listen'. It really touched home. I note a lot of dynamic surges in Catholic essence, from a full Carmelite monastery being built in Wyoming to the very solid Canons of St. John Cantius 'Bringing back the Sacred through Liturgy' in of all places Chicago ..a Democratic party [Communist] center. I hope the prediction of the West loosing everything is not going to occur. [meaning I guess churches, bookstores, religious goods stores, etc] At the same time I note the predictions from Garabandal, Spain and the endorsement by St. Padre Pio as to the Marian authenticity of that message ... and it's a very scary situation. The Surrender Prayer Novena is a great one for keeping balance ... no matter what God and His justice requires of our human family. God is loving ALL the time. ALL the time God is loving.
34min & following is so profound! Five min of the best explanation of the CC in the west. I rode the wave of JMT music. They helped shaped my love for “peace”. I raised 4 children singing as I struggled to build the family. None practice the faith. Surrender and trust and prayer.
Watching here in Taipei Taiwan proud catholic
John Talbot I Love your
Holy Music especialy the Magnifica, you are super blessed. Thank God. Praise Jesus!! Great Testimony! Blessings...✝️🙏♥️💜🧡💛💚😌
Bless you both
Thank you for this interview. I loved how he explained the similarities between the sacredness of music and the harmony of a good marriage. I was married in the chapel of a convent and had 50 nuns singing One Bread One Body during communion - it was heavenly and I wanted to remember that moment for the rest of my life, unfortunately, the Protestant videographer spliced out the Communion from the finished video - I was so sad. I have always loved his recording - what a gift to learn about JMT.
It seemed that jmt was always in the background of my long Christian journey. Like a mountain that dominates a landscape, that you often aren't conscious of but shapes your whole worldview. His music is deeply spiritual, contemplative. Thank you for having him as your guest!
We hv many contemplative monasteries hir n d Philippines u r welcome to establish ur congregation here❤🙂
There’s only one Faith! The Faith in Jesus…..who he is and what he accomplished!
Oh Jesus, it is for the love of thee, and for the conversion of sinners, and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary. ✝️🛐🙏🇺🇸
Amen. Beautiful. I heard about John Michael from Clare DuBois of heartdwellers and how he was one of the major keys to her conversion. Having listened to this interview I can see why.
this was a beautiful interview! thanks
John Michael please find a Traditional Latin Mass. the Mass of the Ages. Do you listen to Gregorian chant for meditation and church music!? I’m 60 yo and been Norvos Ordo (NO) most of my life BUT I discovered the Latin Mass 7 yrs ago and except for daily mass at my local church, my main go to is Latin Mass. It has truly reached my soul. The music of the NO masses reminds me of “My Little Pony” !!! I just can’t handle that any longer.
Why not let him worship where he wants? Good grief.
Love the altar in the background ❤ from India 🇮🇳
He is so correct about our church getting back to its basics. I believe a period of monastic prayer is necessary for Priests and lay people as well.
