Beleaguered Calvinist Discovers Orthodoxy, The Church, and True Service to Christ feat. Gary Greenfield Overtly Orthodox

Welcome to Overtly Orthodox. Today we hear from a gentleman named Gary Greenfield. Gary "transitioned" from a Protestant sect of Christianity to the Orthodox Church rather late in life. (I think transition is a better use of words than conversion, but I digress.)
So you understand the context of what you'll hear, when I recorded this, I was brand new to the Orthodox Church. In fact, I had never even set foot in an Orthodox Church. Gary's contribution to an audiobook I was producing actually made me aware of, and set in motion my own inquiry and eventual transition to the Orthodox Church.
I was so moved by Gary's words that I wanted to interview him and hear his story. My intent was to publish the interview on a different podcast that never really got off the ground. But it's perfect for this one!
I hope you listen and are blessed by Gary's story.
