Matthew P.

Matthew P. shares his remarkable journey from being a cradle Catholic to embracing confessional Lutheranism. He reflects on his Italian Catholic upbringing, where rituals lacked theological meaning, leading him to drift from the faith. A pivotal moment came when he re-engaged with Scripture, feeling convicted by the Sermon on the Mount. Discovering Lutheranism online and attending a service transformed his understanding of worship, emphasizing grace and sacraments. Matthew emphasizes the spiritual nourishment he found in Lutheran teaching, which contrasts sharply with his earlier experiences.
