On today's Podcast, I'm joined by Caelan Myers, who was recently baptised into the Catholic church. Caelan had little to no association with religion, and in fact was a strong atheist. Caelan's journey involved both faith and reason, yet the starting point for his interest, in my view; was most compelling.
