    Going to confession can be a scary thing, especially if you’ve never gone before! In this episode, I discuss what it was like going to confession for the first time and how to prepare for it.

    What I Learned From Visiting Mount Athos
    2024/08/21
    From May 27th to June 5th 2024, I was blessed with the opportunity to make a pilgrimage to Mount Athos, one of the holiest places in all of Orthodoxy. This monastic republic is located on a peninsula in Greece. This episode chronicles the stories about my journey, what it was like meeting Athonite monastics, and what lessons I learned from the trip. Undoubtedly, it was one I will never forget. Thank you for listening and God bless!

    Why I Became An Orthodox Christian
    2024/05/17

    Why did a Baptist such as myself become an Orthodox Christian? In this episode, I walk you through my conversion process. In it, I go step-by-step, addressing each doctrine of Protestantism that I came to reject and why, as well as the issues I had that prevented me from becoming Catholic, finally to the point of accepting Orthodoxy as the fullness of the faith.


    Thanks for listening and God bless!
