  • Good for Parents

    I especially appreciate Keith's exposition of the Mass readings. It helps me to teach my own kids and make sure we are all prepared for Mass. It helps me when I am diverting attention to my restless little children. I know where the reading is going and what was said if I have to step out. God bless you Keith and your ministry.

  • 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!!!
