076: An Atheist's Journey into the Catholic Church (w/ Leah Libresco Sargeant)

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic Podcast, I'm joined by Leah Libresco. A cerebral, deep thinker, Leah was a staunch atheist when she became to meet Catholics in her debate group and, herself, became interested in looking deeper into the faith. In this episode she takes us on her spiritual journey and explains what ultimately led us to find God in the Catholic Church.

It's a great conversation and Leah was very fun to talk to! You're going to really enjoy this episode.

For more from Leah visit her website and check out her fantastic books Arriving at Amen and Building the Benedict Option.
