Description

When Levi's life was engulfed by the shadows of opioid addiction, an unexpected beacon of hope emerged through his embrace of faith. Journey with us as Levi recounts his transformation from the clutches of substance abuse to the sanctuary of Catholicism, sharing the intimate details of his conversion and his upcoming Easter conversion in a family brimming with diverse religious influences. His story navigates the intersections of Baptist beginnings, Methodist transitions, and the allure of Catholic media, offering a vivid portrait of personal redemption and spiritual discovery.As our conversation meanders through Levi's life, we uncover the unexpected catalysts that have shaped his faith: the poetic musings of his future wife and the robust debates on Lutheran theology that steered him towards the Catholic Church. The intricacies of familial dynamics come to light as Levi reflects on integrating into his children's Catholic lineage and the quest for a church that resonates as home. This episode doesn't shy away from tough questions or avoid the nuanced debates that challenge and enrich our understanding of religion in the modern context.Embarking on this episode is akin to opening a global atlas of the soul, where the personal is inextricable from the universal. We'll touch upon the traditional Catholic practices that have transformed Levi's life, the importance of narrative in comprehending figures like Putin, and the delicate dance of parenting in tumultuous political times. With Levi's insights as our guide, we connect the dots between our deepest beliefs and the broader world we navigate, creating a tapestry of conversation that's as thought-provoking as it is heartwarming. Join us for a profound voyage into the essence of transformation, belief, and the power of faith to illuminate the darkest corners.Levi's channel, TruthWorthy:  https://www.youtube.com/@levipingleton-cv1fgBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched! Start for FREE Support the show********************************************************https://www.avoidingbabylon.comLocals Community: https://avoidingbabylon.locals.comRSS Feed for Podcast Apps: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1987412.rssSpiritusTV: https://spiritustv.com/@avoidingbabylonRumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-1626455Odysee: https://odysee.com/@AvoidingBabylon

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!”
