Summary

Pull up a barstool with me and Shane Page, a former United Methodist pastor, as he tells us the story of his conversion to Catholicism! You don’t want to miss a moment of his fascinating journey, including:

- How working at Chili’s led to a “born again” experience.
- The process of becoming a Methodist pastor. (It took 14 years!)
- Two things that happened in seminary that started his path to Catholicism.
- Doing a Marian consecration as a Protestant.
- The hardest part about finally stepping down as a pastor.

0:00.0	Shane Page, great to have you in the studio.
0:02.0	It's a pleasure to be here. Thank you for inviting me.
0:03.9	Yeah. So for those who are watching, some of what just happened over the past year,
0:08.4	maybe in a minute before we delve deeper into it.
0:11.3	Well, what's happened over just the last year is that I was a United Methodist elder,
0:16.1	pastor of a congregation, and after a long period of time and discernment, I made the leap to become
0:23.2	Catholics. That's what happened within the last year. I was raised in a United Methodist family
0:29.0	in Gastonia, North Carolina, shout out to G-town. And I attended a United Methodist church.

1:05.6	Yeah, okay, wow. All right. Where do we begin? So Methodist pastor, North Carolina, you
1:13.2	said it was a relatively big church for a Methodist congregation.
1:16.0	Well, my last in the United Methodist church there was an appointment system. And we have a
1:21.8	bishop and the bishop appoints the clergy to the churches assigned them. And my last appointment
1:27.9	was David's and United Methodist church. I was a senior pastor there.
1:33.4	A congregation of about between 2500 to 3200.
