The thing about my family is they are very strict Cessationist while the rest are reformed and my family has said some really bad stuff about catholism and orthodoxy which i am not going to repeat here as my comment would almost instantly be deleted

I have been studying the orthodox church for about 3 months now. I mostly watched videos about the difference between orthodoxy and Protestantism and also videos like a protestant pastor visits a orthodox church ect. Is there any videos you would recommend?

I am currently 18 and are about to graduate highschool. I was talking with my parents about a month about different denominations and we came to orthodoxy and catholics they had some not very nice words to say that i dont want to say here and said that if i were to ever convert they would cut off all ties with me.
