Comedian Shayne Smith shares the powerful story of how an unexpected encounter with God changed his life forever. In this conversation with Fr. Gregory Pine, Shayne opens up about experiencing miracles, vivid dreams, a profound moment of prayer, and the journey that led him to embrace Christianity.

Friends, we’ve come to the great Solemnity of Pentecost, which is, along with Christmas and Easter, one of the most important feasts of the Christian year.
