“Your Journey Has Reached Its Beginning”: How I Found and Embraced the Orthodox Church [Meet the Maestro]
Manage episode 432353687 series 3328024
Host James D. Newcomb shares his own background as a musician, family man, podcaster, world traveler, and more!
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.
