Which Church Should We Choose?—Catholic, Orthodox, or Protestant? | Sam Shamoun

A Protestant couple asks a question millions feel but few say out loud: which church should we choose—and how do you decide without just following vibes, family tradition, or a loud online debate? Sam Shamoun walks through the real tension behind “Protestant vs Catholic vs Orthodox,” why the early church and church fathers keep coming up, and how doctrines like election/predestination, baptism, and the Eucharist/Lord’s Supper shape what a church even is. This isn’t about scoring points—it's about finding a faith that’s rooted in Jesus, serious about salvation, and honest about why there are so many denominations. If you’re a seeker, new believer, or a Christian family trying to choose a church with a clear conscience, this conversation will hit home. Choosing a church isn’t just “where you attend”—it’s who you’ll trust when your faith gets tested.
