Join us as we explore a journey of faith with Keith Nestor, a former Protestant pastor who found his spiritual home in Catholicism. Keith shares his story of going from a life marked by diverse denominational experiences to a profound embrace of Catholic teachings in 2017. This episode unravels the challenges and enlightening moments of conversion, filled with personal encounters involving the Virgin Mary and the Eucharist.
As converts often face skepticism and misunderstanding, our conversation highlights the importance of patience and humility in navigating a new spiritual path. We discuss the nuanced roles converts might play in ministry, drawing lessons from biblical principles to underscore the necessity of grounding one's faith before stepping into leadership positions. This episode also engages with broader discussions on fundamentalist beliefs and the evolving landscape of religious training, emphasizing the value of personal narratives in shaping authentic faith journeys within the Catholic community.
We dive into the intricacies of teaching and sharing Catholic doctrine. Our dialogue touches on the delicate balance between sharing personal faith experiences and assuming authoritative roles in church governance, advocating for a respectful discourse enriched by personal stories while adhering to long-standing traditions. With insights from historical and theological discussions, we aim to bridge gaps by focusing on a community grounded in glorifying God and nurturing authentic spiritual growth.
