“Your Journey Has Reached Its Beginning”: How I Found and Embraced the Orthodox Church

  • Summary

  • Today I share about my spiritual life within the confines of the Christian religion. I've been a churchgoer as long as I can remember; however, the journey has been, shall I say, interesting.

    It was really a search for truth - a search that ended when I was introduced to the Orthodox Church interestingly enough through my own work as a narrator and producer of audiobooks. I was serendipitously hired to narrate/produce two separate audiobooks in 2018 and 2023 respectively, which convinced me that the Orthodox Church is where I was being led spiritually.

    So this is my story.

    Episode highlights:

    01:30 Early Spiritual Experiences

    06:53 The Bapticostals

    10:15 Do we truly have free will when compelled to act by threat of eternal damnation?

    20:48 Spiritual Purgatory in Korea
