288: Shunned by his Family for Becoming Catholic (w/ Dustin Shane)

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by author Dustin Shane, a convert to Catholicism from the Jehovah's Witnesses, to talk about his harrowing and incredible faith journey.
From his experience growing up in a devout Jehovah's Witness family to his wandering years and his ultimate decision to leave the faith (and face being shunned by his family!) there's a whole lot to unpack in this journey that I'm sure you'll love. Above all, Dustin gives us a unique perspective we don't often get to hear and offers some amazing insights into the faith he left and the faith – Catholicism – that he decided to come into.
It's an amazing conversation!
