![VIDEO: Frederica Mathewes-Green – How to Actually Become Orthodox [+ Bonus Content!]](https://orthodoxchristianity.info/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/2883/hqdefault.jpg)
Praise God! I recently converted from Protestantism for Orthodox after a 3 1/2 year journey of research, study and prayer. I was first introduced to the Orthodox church by a friend who is Ethiopian and she lovingly challenged me to look into her faith in an effort to see if I could find anything in error. Not knowing anything about Orthodoxy, and happy to meet her challenge, I began my research and the more I looked, the more I saw the church of the first century in all of it's beauty and unquestionable truth. It wasn't long before I knew that Orthodoxy is what I had been searching for from the moment I became Protestant some 20 years ago. As great as the services were back then, I always felt empty. But after coming face to face with the first century church, I experienced an unimaginable fullness that brought me to a deeper understanding and relationship with my Lord and savior.
Imagine going from a Unitarian cult to Eastern Orthodox, what a journey!
Thank you, looking forward to future episodes.
All western Christians should experience at least something of Lent, Holy Week, and Pascha in one of the Byzantine traditions.
Reading Dostoevsky was also hugely influential in the early parts of my own journey.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing your story. All Glory to Jesus Christ!
Orthodox beard game on point
Most excellent musical cover.

I LIKE THE SONG AT THE END OF THIS EPISODE!
Who sings it?
My journey to the truth…has been lonely..I was raised Jehovahs Wittness…
Got Babtisted in 2012…to a non denominational church..that no longer exists…
I tried to find proof that the Catholics were wrong…( but they were kinda correct)
I continued to study the Catholic way..the history…I just kept going back…in history ,questioning everything…knocking on every door seeking the truth…
1054 opened the door…there are many dates that did…
Without a doubt….I wager my soul..that the Orthodox is the narrow path that our Lord said …was the only way….for broad ( 38,000) "Christian " denominations…..starting from 1054…the true vine of Orthodoxy has remained the same.
" You will know them by theire fruits"
Praise to God, the Son , the Holy Spirit…
Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me a sinner.
Pray for me…for I haven't been Chismated…
I have never been to a Orthodox Church…
I have lived my life deceived.
Like a lost pilot…running out of fuel..
I see the light…please grant me permission to land.
In the name of the Father ,Son, Holy Spirit.
Your Lost Brother…Joseph
