  • Unfortunate choice at end of episode

    I would definitely rate this five stars if this beautiful voice and message were not followed by a very jarring voice and message.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Abbot Tryphon: My Self vs My Sin
Q: Oh, I do, yes. So, Father, I've noticed the closer I get to God, the more my sin is revealed, and the more my sin is revealed, I find I think less of myself because I'm such a sinner. So my question is, in light of this, how do I handle this without viewing myself as my sin?
Strive to recognize you have fallen short, but ground your identity in being a child of God and the absolution Christ gives through the priest, not in a low self-image; confession should lead to repentance and transformation toward Christlikeness.
Abbot Tryphon: Finding Silence Without Distraction
Q: Kind of connected to that last question is, with all the rapid change in the world, how do we raise our children in that environment and help them to experience this, that silence and that blessing that you're talking about?
The guest emphasizes that the father should model Christian faith actively throughout the week, not just on Sundays; children need to see their father praying and leading morning prayers, meals, and other rituals to internalize the faith.
Abbot Tryphon: Finding Silence Without Distraction
Q: Fr. Tryphon, I was wondering, for us in the 21st century, we have a lot of technology, a lot of screens, a lot of constant distractions and billboards all around us. How do we find silence, and how do we find consistency in prayer without being so distracted this way and that way all the time?
The guest responds that a bishop starts every day with one hour of silence, avoids emails and web activity, and sits in silence with the Jesus Prayer; starting the day with a focused hour of prayer can bless and reshape the day regardless of late nights.
Fr John Finley: The Healing of the Mind, Heart, and Will according to St Nikolai of Zica
Q: How can we look at the reality of our sins and seek healing without judging others?
Not all sins are from external sources. Sometimes they stem from deep violations. We can learn to forgive from our heart, believing that if we ask Jesus to forgive us, we must also forgive others, as indicated in the Lord's Prayer.
Elder Athanasios Mitilinaios: 9. The Most Holy Theotokos
Q: Did you have a question?
The discussion him affirmed points about the understanding of Christ's dual nature.
