Backpacking across the country to “find himself,” panhandling in Las Vegas, and hitchhiking to Burning Man, Landon Scates never expected he would have found Christ instead.
But on the long desert road home, everything changed.
In this episode, Landon shares his full testimony from his early departure from God, through dark and disorienting years on the road, to an unexpected encounter with the light of Christ. We also talk honestly about what came after: the born-again-to-charismatic pipeline, the deception he encountered in deliverance ministries, and how he ultimately found rest and true healing in the ancient Orthodox Church.
