How My Protestant Upbringing Led Me To Orthodoxy

Why did I become an Orthodox Christian? Throughout this series, I will be going into the various theological and historical discoveries I made over the years that eventually led to me joining the Orthodox Church. In this first episode, I discuss my Protestant upbringing, including what I appreciated as well as where I began to question things. I also talk about my first introduction to Orthodoxy and my first visit to a Divine Liturgy.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the comments below. Thanks for listening and God bless!
