Today’s guests are husband and wife, Jai and Kaitlyn Raynor, from Caboolture in Queensland. Jai is a mortgage broker who owns his own business and Kaitlyn teaches food economics at a high school.
In this episode, both Jai and Kaitlyn share their fascinating journeys into Lutheranism. Kaitlyn, once a Pentecostal, became Lutheran by conviction through theological discussions with her husband. Jai was originally raised as Hindu Hare Krishna in Hawaii, but later moved to Melbourne where he briefly experimented with Scientology. Through the influence of a family member, Jai became a Christian and tried a number of churches before finding peace and assurance in Lutheranism.
