”If you‘re considering Catholicism, then consider this...”

For decades, Greg Smith, M.Div, was a Protestant pastor, missionary, and writer until his ”Road to Rome” brought him into the Catholic Church. Now he shares what he found with anyone who is curious about the Catholic faith. Join him as he answers questions, explores topics, visits places, interviews guests, and discovers the True, the Good, and the Beautiful in ”the faith that was once and for all given to the saints.”

Greg serves as the Dean of the Lakeshore Academy for the New Evangelization and founder of One Whirling Adventure.
