Dr. Scott Hahn has a number of different recorded talks where he discusses his conversion from being an Evangelical Protestant Pastor to becoming an ordinary Catholic layman. Some of those talks tend to focus more precisely on that specific period from when he was already a Protestant Pastor through his actual conversion to the Catholic faith, but this audio recording has a broader focus, and includes a longer period in his life, including some of the foibles of his youth.
(This was originally just an audio recording, to which the "youtube" poster added some unusual slides for their "youtube video", but I'm just trying to draw attention here to the audio portion, not the visual slides from this youtube poster. Ignore the slides, and just focus on the audio.)

Do you know the initial prompting of Hahn’s conversion?
It was words from the Bible that were repeated FOUR times in the Mass. He was hooked right there.
And then he studied.
And look at him now. God bless him and Kimberly for their honest testimonies about their journey.
I encourage you to read their book.
Your a quintessential example of the axiom that it is easier to fight for your brand of faith than to live by your faith.
You preach Rome above all.
Why not preach Christ above all?
I say, “May Rome decrease; may Christ increase.” May we look to Christ, and not to Rome.
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
Are you familiar with how the Catholic Mass is totally focused on Christ?
The Liturgy of the Word
The Liturgy of the Eucharist
You may want to check out some Catholic books on the Mass. One I will heartily recommend is “A Biblical Walk through the Mass” by Sri

Maybe you missed my post above. It was quotes from the Bible that hooked Scott Hahn on Catholicism.
If you don’t believe me, read the book that he and Kimberly wrote, “Rome Sweet Home.”
