- Religion & Spirituality
In the modern world, the topic of religion has become something of a heated subject. The divide between the religious and secular worldviews has grown into a chasm, and having conversations on the topic has become practically taboo in many places. But does it have to be that way? Enter your hosts, the lifelong friends Bailey, David, and Michael - a Christian, Atheist, and Agnostic Theist respectively. In this podcast, we compare and contrast the plausibility of the religious and secular worldviews…without the unnecessary harshness that is usually part of the deal with this subject. Does it make sense to be a Christian? Does Atheism account for all that matters? Should we be forced to make an allegiance to a particular religion, or is it better to become spiritual? Join us in our discussions to find out for yourself.

Why I Became An Orthodox Christian
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 email them to me. Thanks for listening and God bless!
