Thank you Father
I’m not a part of any church tradition unfortunately because I have yet to find one that I totally agree with. However, on the Aug 11 episode, you surprised me by articulating exactly what I’ve discerned privately from scripture and never hear or see externally. Particularly regarding humility since that is one of my two issues with Orthodox Christianity. Hallelujah. My heart is still burning with resonance and edification. To Christ be the glory. Thank you.
