Many people struggle in life due to false ideas about God, one another and the church. The truth of the nature of God, who we are and what our role in the world is, has been preserved in the life and teachings of the Orthodox Church. Unfortunately, due false ideologies and miscommunications about the nature of these subject matters, many struggle with coming to a knowledge of the truth. These ideas cause many to reject God and live in pain. Our hosts will discuss varying subject matters about the nature of God in hope to reintroduce God, man and Christianity from an Orthodox Christian perspective.

I started listening to this podcast a little late, but could not stop until I completed it. I enjoyed it significantly and I am excited about the next set of episodes. The orthodox faith has many foundational principles for everyday life that helped me grasp some of the reasoning I was grappling with internally throughout this year. It was exactly what I needed for this challenging and quiet season to debunk some of our misconceptions about God, Orthodoxy, and Christianity in general. I loved the guest speakers and can't wait for all that is ahead. May God bless you and allow us to come alongside you as we continue to explore the depths of Christ, our very good God!
