ABOUT THIS EPISODE

In this episode, I recount my Road to Conversion - how my father's conversion intricately links to mine, quite unexpectedly. I also get to share an enlightening testimonial citing Hebrews 10:24-25 - what a gift! The testimony fits into this episode's theme seamlessly. All my reflections are based on John 20:24-29, meditating on the "Seeing and Believing" of the apostle St. Thomas, using Lectio Divina.
