Ep. 434 - A Mother's Prayer: From the Brink of Death to Life in the Church, with Longinus and Sophia
Description
Longinus was at the point where he didn't want to live anymore. His mother, Sophia, was at the point where all she could do was pray.
They join me to tell the story of what happened next—a suicide attempt, time in a psychiatric hospital, years of struggle, and eventually, an unexpected path into the Orthodox Church.
We talk about despair, a mother's persistence, conversion, and what it looks like when God begins working through circumstances that, at the time, seem completely hopeless.
This is a heavy one, but a beautiful one. I'm grateful they trusted me with their story.
