  • Faithful listener

    I listen in every week. I listen to this podcast as well as bishop Barron and father Mike to prepare for mass. Keith is a humble guy who’s Protestant background gives him a particular love for scripture which I personally appreciate.

  • Catholic curious Protestant

    I really enjoy Keith’s podcasts and how passionate he is about the faith and Catholicism. I also get a kick out of how riled up he gets about Protestant objections and his rebuttals make perfect sense. Keep up the good work!!!

  • Excellent Podcast!

    I follow along with Keith's "Rosary Crew with Keith Nester". He was once a Protestant pastor, and has converted to Catholicism. He does an excellent job going over the scriptures and leading us in praying the Rosary daily.

  • Protestant finds the Truth in the Catholic Church

    Keith's down to earth manner of unpacking the beautiful and truthful readings in the light of the inspired teachings of The Church is wonderful. A man that truly gave up all of his prior life to live in fullness of the work of the Lord shares why the scriptures and traditions are essential to our full walk in Christ! Thank you, Keith
