El Tonto Por Christo: An Interview with Josh David Jordan
Josh David Jordan is a filmmaker and convert to Orthodoxy from St. Seraphim Cathedral, Dallas, who is working on a movie about an abbot who is a fool-for-Christ. Josh got a lot of critical praise for his first movie, This World Won't Break, which was screened at festivals around the world and won many awards. It is streaming now on every platform. Thanks to the positive response to This World Won't Break, Josh was able to draw Hollywood professionals from every discipline to El Tonto. It's an impressive film and I think will do much to introduce people everywhere to Orthodoxy. https://www.eltontoporcristo.com

Fear of Death
Most people experience some fear of death. In this episode, I look first at "fear of the unknown" (exploring scriptures that might apply) and then at "fear of the known." I hope this helps alleviate some fears.

Customer Reviews
Wonderful storyteller
Before becoming Orthodox, another convert had recommended that I "pick up a Frederica Mathewes-Green book. Any book." I read 'At the Corner of East and Now' and it was beautiful and spoke to my heart. I love this podcast; the way she unfolds a story, her a beautiful way with words, and her calming, melodic voice, which makes listening easy. (I am, however, saddened by the obvious trolling negative reviews, but c'est la internet)
Helpful for the non-orthodox
I've been listening to Frederica's podcasts for several years and enjoy her calm npr-style of talking. When she talks about her church I learn something as a non-orthodox, but Christian person. I'm also not easily offended so when she gets a little too rah-rah about her church and how great she thinks it is, I let it go.
Orthodox Lite? If you consider praying while raising kids "lite"
Someone on here said "Orthodox Lite"... I suppose this podcast is not for the athonite monk. It's for regular people striving to be Orthodox as parents, citizens, family members, activists, daily witnesses to the Gospel, etc. So, if you are looking to write your dissertation on the filioque or master hesachyst prayer, I suppose this podcast won't help you. But if you are looking for a (generally) short podcast that is thought-provoking but not provocative and hits on issues most of us here "in the world but not of the world" are dealing with on a daily basis, this podcast is perfect!
