@adam Reading The Case for Christ and watched the movie! Great recommendation. You should do a podcast "Boost For Christ" 😎

@MountainJay @adam This may sound silly, but the final scene in the film rocked me hard (in a good way).

@mysticgeek — I can relate! I’m an inquirer in the Orthodox church, still shaking off my lifelong agnosticism and seeking that kind of certainty. 💖✨@adam

@MountainJay Same. Been to church now about 6 times and starting to create new friends. I've been agnostic since a teenager...now 48 and starting to learn it all. Luckily, people have been patient with me in the church. 😎

@mysticgeek — that’s great! They have been with me as well, both at the Baptist church nearby and the Orthodox parish we love so much.If you ever attend an Orthodox Sunday liturgy, be sure to stay afterwards for the potluck and fellowship. We’re pretty new here, and some of the best friends we’ve made are NA listeners we met there! 😃https://www.oca.org/parishes/state/MN. (The OCA parishes are mostly American converts, so no language or cultural barriers like with say a Greek Orthodox parish.)

@MountainJay Thank you for the links. Unfortunately, those locations aren't near me. Although, I could do a road trip to the St. Cloud parish.The one I'm going to is non-denominational but I'm certainly open to trying other things.Since I am new to this...what is an "Orthodox" church?This is the one I attend. Small and nothing fancy...just the prayer and fellowship.https://www.cfcdl.org/

@mysticgeek — that looks like a nice gathering place. :)If you’re inclined to roadtrip to attend an Orthodox Great Liturgy and the social hour afterwards, I’d guess you’ll enjoy it and find it a worthwhile experience.

@mysticgeek — here’s a brief explanation of Orthodoxy that I see a lot:“The Orthodox Christian Church is evangelical, but not Protestant. It is orthodox, but not Jewish. It is catholic, but not Roman. It is not denominational, it is pre-denominational. It has believed, taught, preserved, defended, and died for theFaith of the Apostles since the Day of Pentecost nearly 2,000 years ago.”– Our Life in Christ

@mysticgeek — also, this series of short videos very much helped me wrap my agnostic head around the customs and basic theology. The explanation here of what hell is was especially useful for me.https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxcntdlvObPgDGgBg1mYsUxnfGcyTBKcc

@mysticgeek @MountainJay Watch them turn on you when you tell them you’ve discovered Gnosticism

@MountainJay sounds interesting! I know I said the church I go to is nondenominational but it’s actually Interdenominational. Just went again last night to Celebrate Recovery service and going to a different church on Thursday. I do CR cuz I’m a recovering alcoholic/addict. But I’m definitely open to attending the Orthodox service. Will certainly be a road trip though. I’ll probably call ahead.
