The Story of an Unlikely Convert w/Rosaria Butterfield

In today's episode, we hear the story of an unlikely convert—Rosaria Butterfield. Rosaria was a tenured women’s studies Professor at Syracuse University who adopted a lesbian identity. In 1997, she began reading the Bible as research for a book she planned to write. After reading large portions of Scripture and being invited into the home of a pastor where her questions were welcomed and answered, Rosaria converted to Christianity in 1999. In this episode, she shares her story of coming to Christ and how that resulted in her losing almost everything—but gaining eternal life in Christ.

The opinions of guests on the Daily Grace podcast do not represent the opinions of The Daily Grace Co., and we do not necessarily endorse the resources that they recommend or mention on the show. We believe it is valuable to hear from a variety of guests, even if we do not agree in all areas. As always, the statements made by hosts and guests on the show should be tested against God’s Word, the only authority on truth.
