  We got a question for our American mama. Dear mama, did you hear
• 0:02
  about Shila buff becoming a Catholic? Well, let's ask our American mama.
• 0:07
  Mama, Mama and joining us now our American Mama. Terry Netterville I saw
• 0:23
  this interview with actor Shila buffa of course from the Transformers fan Huh yeah,
• 0:28
  And speaking of transforming, uh he was. He was maybe one of the
• 0:36
  five most virulent Trump haters in America. I would say he hated Trump so
• 0:43
  much I think it drove Shila Buff insane, literally insane. Well, we've
• 0:49
  talked about this before. There is such a thing as the Trump derangement syndrome.
• 0:53
  That was a real thing, and Shila Buff was the poster child.
• 0:56
  He was, and he was also at the time I remember thinking feeling sorry
• 1:00
  for him because he was going through something in his life that was so mentally
• 1:03
  toxic that even Hollywood was trying to run him out of town. You know,
• 1:08
  he would have interviews with a bag over his head and people would come
• 1:11
  talk to him and he wouldn't take that brown bag off of his head.
• 1:15
  And if you remember, he was a little the little brother in that even
• 1:19
  Stevens series for a kid's show, and he was I remember my sister Kimberly
• 1:23
  is the one that said, this kid is an incredible actor. He was
• 1:26
  a phenomenal actor. And then he went into the Transformers and all of that.
• 1:30
  Well, during this time period when we thought a lot of people lost
• 1:34
  their minds, I thought, there's no turning back for this one. But
• 1:38
  with God, anything as possible. That's what's amazing. So he's apparently playing
• 1:42
  a priest in a film. Agreed to be in the film and the producer
• 1:48
  of the film said, okay, now before you do this role, I
• 1:52
  want you to go to this monastery and spend some time with some Catholic priests
• 1:57
  and with some monks so that you understand the role better. And what's interesting
• 2:02
  is that that process of exploring the character he was hired to play actually made
• 2:08
  him become Catholic. Yes, he's he's going through the whole thing to become
• 2:15
  He's going through the Catholicism class. It's you know that if you want,
• 2:20
  I think it's a like two years or something. It's a long period of
• 2:23
  time. It's study. Anyway, he said that he was he's he's always
• 2:25
  had a belief, but there's been no connection. He was not an atheist,
• 2:30
  he was agnostic. He didn't really know, so he felt lost.
• 2:32
  And he said there was a time when he had a gun on the table
• 2:36
  and he said, I was out of here and um, he said,
• 2:38
  I didn't want to be alive anymore when all of this happened, and he
• 2:40
  felt ashamed like he's never felt before. But it was when he the reach
• 2:45
  out happened. He said, it happened when he was going through this the
• 2:50
  whole preparation for this movie, Reverend Payo or something like that, and he
• 2:54
  said that was the last stop of the train. He said, there's no
• 2:57
  place else to go. And he said, I know now that God was
• 3:00
  using my ego to draw me to him, drawing me away from worldly desires.
• 3:05
  It was all happening simultaneously. What's interesting about that quote to me is
• 3:09
  that there are several stars that have become Christians, and in their u when
• 3:15
  they speak about it, they talk about that where they felt like God was
• 3:20
  taking them from those worldly things he was drawing away from the ego, like
• 3:25
  Rob Kardashian's ex wife that we spoke about recently, who just completely like she
• 3:30
  took out the filler. She took out her boobs. She said, I
• 3:34
  want to before God. She took off the tattoo that was satanic. Right,
• 3:37
  what was her name? I don't remember her name. China, China
• 3:42
  and so. But they all talk about this period in their life where they
• 3:46
  felt lost, they didn't have that, they felt no connection to anything,
• 3:50
  and they wanted that. So they started connecting to the egotistical material things that
• 3:55
  Hollywood does. Love. And then there comes a time when God reaches you
• 4:00
  and it's this happens over and over again. Sometimes it is when you are
• 4:02
  at the very bottom. You have hit rock bottom, right, you have
• 4:05
  nowhere to go, nowhere to look butt up right, and He is right
• 4:10
  there waiting for that moment, and he will grab you and hold you and
• 4:13
  make you feel whole again. So that's what this has happened with Shaya.
• 4:16
  This other thought is coming to mind right now, and it's he will take
• 4:21
  something meant for evil and turn it for good. Yes, Shila, buff
• 4:26
  was talking about his ego. Our ego gets us into trouble and does all
• 4:30
  the time. It does. And for the Holy Spirit to use your ego
• 4:33
  to pull you to a place to where you could actually finally see who God
• 4:38
  is. Right, I think that's now. Now he's proudly professing this newfound
• 4:43
  faith. And I do worry about him because, as we've seen with Chris
• 4:46
  Pratt's right and others, that's when the stones start coming, especially from his
• 4:49
  industry and from the Bible. As soon as you hear the word, the
• 4:54
  enemy comes immediately to try and take your first. So I pray for him
• 4:58
  because he's on this journey that is nothing but goodness and nothing but grace upon
• 5:02
  his life. My prayer for him is that he can withstand the stones that
• 5:05
  are coming his way, just as Chris Pratt has done. And just like
• 5:09
  even Black China, as the stones are thrown, it's like they are They're
• 5:13
  unstoppable. I don't care. They keep going. And if you were a
• 5:16
  Hollywood producer and you were trying to cast a film about a priest, about
• 5:21
  a monk, I think Chiloa buff would have been maybe your last. I
• 5:27
  can't choice. That's another that's another miracle. That's another godwink. That's another
• 5:31
  way God reached out to him. Yeah, I mean God, he wants
• 5:34
  us, for all of us, He wants us to know him, because
• 5:38
  why for us right, not for him, for us. It makes our
• 5:42
  life better. I love that. If you like to ask our American Mama
