Ep. 41 - Becoming Orthodox: How Thousands Converted in the 80s- EOC Part 1

After decades of research, over 2000 people in the 1980s became Orthodox. The story of the EOC, or the Evangelical Orthodox Church, is a movement that will go down in our Church history! With our special guest, Tim Braun, we discuss this feat and hear his firsthand experience growing up as the son of Father Jon Braun, one of the EOC leaders. Tim also happens to be Katie’s dad! And Emily and Christine’s Godfather and Uncle! This is part 1 - Tune in next week for part 2!
