One “Convert’s” Story – Christian Pastor to Jewish Rabbi

One “Convert’s” Story – Christian Pastor to Jewish Rabbi 2013-12-05T14:59:40-04:00 Lynn Swayze

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

I really enjoyed this youtube video. The speaker accurately describes the slow process from one point to another that conversion involves. It’s a process that changes the mind, heart, and soul. What happens is that small truths are unveiled, one by one, until the old faith is no longer home. For me, is started with questioning when I was young. Logically, some things didn’t add up. And in practice, things didn’t add up. My heart was also elsewhere.

It has taken a decade of very slow learning and growing to get to where I’m at now. Which is at the beginning, really.
