    Lenten Reflections: Embracing Forgiveness and Transformation - Season 5, Episode 11

    Lenten Reflections: Embracing Forgiveness and Transformation - Season 5, Episode 11

    Join us for a poignant episode as we dive into the profound significance of Forgiveness Sunday and the Rite of Forgiveness in the Orthodox Church, marking the beginning of Great Lent.  In a heartfelt announcement, I share my decision to depart from the podcast and social media for the duration of this sacred season, seeking introspection and spiritual renewal.  

    Throughout this episode, we explore the essence of forgiveness and repentance, key themes of Lent, through insightful articles by Fr. George Morelli. "Forgiveness: The Heart and Repentance" and "The Ethos of Lent" shed light on the transformative power of forgiveness and the spiritual ethos that defines this sacred period.
    As we embark on this Lenten journey, I also share the profound words of Kerry Patrick San Chirico in "Lenten Transformation," a reflection that resonates deeply with the spirit of this season.  Together, these resources provide a rich tapestry of understanding, guiding us towards a deeper connection with ourselves, each other, and the Orthodox Christian faith. 

    In the show notes, you'll find links to these enlightening articles, offering further exploration into the Lenten season and its significance in the Orthodox tradition.  May this period of reflection and repentance lead us towards the joyous celebration of Christ’s Resurrection and the continual resurrection in our own lives.  Join us on this transformative journey as we embrace forgiveness and seek renewal in the light of Pascha and Great Lent.

    Journey to Transformation: Reflections on the Ancient Faith Singles Retreat

    Journey to Transformation: Reflections on the Ancient Faith Singles Retreat

    Welcome to a special episode of the All Around Growth podcast.  Today, I'm excited to take you on a journey through an unforgettable experience that occurred at the Ancient Faith Singles Retreat held at the Antiochian Village over the weekend.  Join me as I open up about how this event truly transformed my life. I'll be sharing my own personal reflections, hoping to give you a taste of the incredible moments we shared during the retreat.   Whether you're tuning in to reminisce about your own retreat memories or you missed out on this unique experience, this episode is your chance to dive into the beauty of that weekend from my perspective.  Thank you for being part of this journey with me.  I'm grateful to have experienced it with you. 

    The Ancient Faith Singles Retreat 30+ is a gathering of Orthodox Christians who are at least 30 years of age, unmarried (single, divorced, widowed), and living in the world. The weekend will include daily matins and vespers, and Sunday Divine Liturgy. The group will participate in interactive, leader-led discussion sessions, opportunities for community service, games, and social activities, and free time for relaxation and fellowship. 

    The Antiochian Village is a Christian conference and retreat center located on 300 acres in the beautiful Laurel Highlands of southwestern Pennsylvania, just six miles north of the historic town of Ligonier. Owned and operated by the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America, Antiochian Village was established in 1978 through the vision and leadership of the Archbishop, Metropolitan Philip, who dreamed of a place where the faithful of all ages could meet, worship, and become closer to God, away from the distractions of daily life.

    Unpacking Community Connections: A Post-Event Analysis of the Freedom Cell Network Meetup - Season 5, Episode 8

    Note:  Please pardon the first 10 minutes of poor audio quality.  This is an episode from the road and the microphone was hidden underneath the seatbelt and I didn't realize it for the first 10 minutes or so.  Afterwards, the audio is just like it was from the old days on the road.

    Join us as we delve into a thorough examination and introspection of the recent Medina County Freedom Cell Network meetup event. Centered around the pivotal theme "Your Journey, Your Growth: Forming Your Inner Cadre," participants had the opportunity to articulate their personal aspirations and share their experiences in cultivating Inner Cadres. With equal participation ensured through timed comments, reminiscent of our inaugural meeting in November, the evening fostered dynamic dialogue and mutual learning.  

    Beyond the structured discussions, attendees engaged in informal networking, fostering connections, and discussing the triumphs and challenges encountered in building like-minded collaborations. This event served as a platform for honing strategies to navigate obstacles on our collective path towards freedom.  

    In this podcast episode, we embark on a comprehensive after-action review, unpacking the key discussions, insights gleaned, and lessons assimilated from the gathering. From individual narratives to overarching themes, we'll dissect the broader implications of the Freedom Cell Network while delving into the specifics of Saturday's event. Our focus will be on examining our progress in forming inner cadres and understanding the significance of this focal point within the community.
