Letter to Diognetus
This week Fr. Michael uses the Letter to Diognetus (chapters 5 and 6) as a jumping off point for our episode this week, inspired by Deacon Michael Hyatt's episode on this same topic. Fr. Michael talks about the paradox of being in the world but not of it.
Searching for the Searcher
We're back this week talking about Zaccheus, his search for Jesus, and Jesus' search for Zaccheus as well as us.
Demons at the Forefront
Sister Natalia walks through some of her favorite passages from the Philokalia.
