  • Pivotal in my Journey

    As I was discovering Orthodox Christianity and deciding whether or not to convert I came across Raised & Redeemed. Her episode on the Divine Liturgy blew my mind and was what I needed to decide to officially convert. So thankful for this resource and I walk out this journey.
