Description

We're opening up an intimate conversation with Keith, a former Protestant pastor who underwent a transformative journey to Catholicism. Keith's intriguing narrative paints a raw picture of his internal struggles with shifting religious beliefs and the effect it had on his life and relationships. He shares his profound experiences from his pilgrimage to Medjugorje, which played a significant role in his conversion process by shifting him from skepticism to a fervent believer.Our conversation also explores the interplay between traditional Catholicism and Protestantism, providing insights into why Catholic listeners are so drawn towards conversion stories from Protestantism. We highlight the admirable aspects of the Protestant community - their profound love for scriptures and their close-knit bonds, which present valuable lessons for Catholics. The conversation takes a light-hearted twist as we discuss the importance of laughter and joy in bearing witness to the Catholic faith.As we wind up this enlightening episode, we offer some guidance for converts and those grappling with their faith. Trust, obedience, and the beauty of centuries-old rituals are emphasized. We particularly draw attention to the significance of confession and the trust we need to place in God's grace and mercy. Finally, we reflect on the impact our discussion has had on our listeners, relishing the touching feedback. So buckle up for an invigorating discussion that spans faith, transformation, and the journey of a Protestant pastor's dive into the heart of Catholicism.********************************************************https://www.avoidingbabylon.comLocals Community:  https://avoidingbabylon.locals.comStore:  https://avoiding-babylon.sellfy.store/RSS Feed for Podcast Apps: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1987412.rssSpiritusTV:  https://spiritustv.com/@avoidingbabylonRumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-1626455Odysee:  https://odysee.com/@AvoidingBabylonBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched! Start for FREE Support the showCheck out our new store!

Avoiding Babylon was started during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. During these difficult and dark days, when most of us were isolated from family, friends, our parishes, and even the Sacraments themselves, this channel was started as a statement of standing against the tyrannical mandates that many of us were living under. Since those early days, this channel has morphed into an amazing community of friends…no…more than friends…Christian brothers and sisters…who have grown in joy and charity. As we see it, our job here at Avoiding Babylon is to remind ourselves and those who enjoy the channel that being Catholic is a joyful and exciting experience. We seek true Catholic fraternity and eutrapelia with other Catholics who, like us, are doing their best to live out their vocation with the help of God’s Grace.  Above all, we try to bring humor and joy to the craziness of this fallen world, for as Hillaire Belloc has famously said:“Wherever the Catholic sun doth shine,There’s always laughter and good red wine.At least I’ve always found it so.Benedicamus Domino!”
