Crossing the Bosporus (feat. Francis Cooper)

Josiah is joined by Francis Cooper (@attnfrancis) to discuss his conversion to Eastern Orthodoxy. Francis and Josiah have been friends for a long time and both went through various "deconstruction" paths regarding their former evangelical faiths. Through this conversation, they talk about their spiritual journeys to high church traditions and what, for Francis, is compelling about Orthodox spirituality. Francis also makes it clear that, if anything he says contradicts an Orthodox priest, you should trust the priest.
