244: An Early Church Scholar's Return to Catholicism (w/ Dr. Thomas Scheck)
In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by one of my heroes, Early Church scholar Dr. Thomas Scheck to unpack his amazing story of growing up Catholic, leaving the faith for Evangelical Christian, and then coming storming back to the Church after 17 years away. It's a great journey!
Listen as Dr. Scheck explains why an encounter with two Baptist roommates in college fired him up for a relationship with Christ, his time as an Evangelical missionary with his wife in Germany, and his struggles and successes as an Evangelical pastor for almost ten years.
And, of course, what ultimately led Dr. Scheck, his wife, and many of his children back to the Catholic Church.
I'm so grateful for a chance to have this conversation and Dr. Scheck is a wonderful storyteller.
