Why I Became An Orthodox Christian | Full Series
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.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the comments below. Thanks for listening and God bless!
