INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
What happens when a horrific car accident leaves you convinced you and your children should not have survived?
In this episode of the Lighten Up podcast, Hannah Crews sits down with Addi Christensen, host of the Voices of Conversion podcast, to talk about her incredible journey from a Protestant upbringing to the Catholic Church—and the life-changing experience that deepened her faith forever.
Addi shares the story of a devastating car accident she experienced while 28 weeks pregnant, with her one-year-old son in the car. She believes all 3 of their guardian angels intervened in a miraculous way. We also talk about how Addi discovered the early Church, apostolic succession, the Brown Scapular, and why keeping our eyes fixed on eternity can completely change the way we live.
