Show Notes
Brenda Caster was raised SDA, and even went to an Adventist boarding school. She rebellled a little in her teens, but ended up staying SDA, and eventually married a man who became an SDA elder. When she found a network of ex-SDA people trying to help people out of the church, it opened her eyes to a whole new way of looking at the world.
Brenda shopped around Protestant congregations, but was intrigued by the Catholic faith, which seemed both foreign and familiar to her. She discovered The Coming Home Network, and suddenly many of the questions that had been unanswered in her SDA background found fulfillment in the Catholic Church.
