Ex-Protestant Pastor shares why he became Catholic!

Sam Nunnally is the creator of It’s Okay to Be Catholic, where he helps people online understand Catholic teaching through Scripture, Church history, and the writings of the early Church Fathers. His mission is to make the Catholic faith approachable for anyone sincerely seeking truth, and today he is joining us to discuss why being Catholic IS okay!

There’s a whole lotta misconceptions out there about the Catholic faith and Sam is here to encourage us and share the truth with us. As a former Protestant pastor, Sam addresses some of the biggest objections to Catholicism like prayer, sacrifice, and the Eucharist with compassion and sensitivity.
