Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

[E9.3] Becoming Orthodox: A Convert’s Story | Living Incense
Q: What advice do you have for single people who are either Coptic and dating someone not in the faith, or vice versa, considering a conversion?
Ask questions early and often; the church liturgy and community are a big commitment, and understanding faith must come before marriage decisions, with premarital counseling emphasizing personal commitment to the faith.
Harmony of the Gospels [Prayer and Agony in Gethsemane] | Bible Study (Fr. Matthias Shehad)
Q: What does it mean to be one with the church and with Christ amid divisions?

Harmony of the Gospels [Prayer and Agony in Gethsemane] | Bible Study (Fr. Matthias Shehad)
Q: How should a Christian balance staying in the world with protecting oneself from its temptations?
