@@SuppressioHibernicis well, some music is okay. I wouldn't say I completely reject every and any popular music just on its face, but I'm trying to listen to more holy music in its stead. Same idea with TV and movies. It's not that I think every single movie or TV show is completely vulgar and degenerate, but a lot of the shows I used to watch and enjoyed definitely were and so I just had to cut them off. If there isn't a promotion of virtue or dedicating oneself to something higher in it, I just think it's a waste of time for Christians to watch or listen to it. Worse, it could put your soul at risk. That's just how I approach things now. Obviously we need to tolerate somethings otherwise we won't be able to relate to people at all, but even the things we watch or listen to still need to be good even if it's not explicitly Christian.

I am very thankful for Father Spyridon. I grew up in a family that had very little faith. In my early twenties, I became a protestant. About the age of 40, I became Roman Catholic. I'm in my early sixties now, and in the last six months, or so, I have become more and more drawn to learning about the Orthodox Church. The videos by Father are, for me, a very wonderful "window" into this faith. I am wondering if God is using Father S. (and others - Elder Ephraim of Arizona) to continue my journey and struggle of faith within the Orthodox Church. Thank You Father.

Yes, proven beyond doubt that consequences of sin is indeed painful beyond doubt. In the words of St Peter, "Depart from me Lord for I am a sinful man"; And the publican with his face cast down on the ground daring not to look up, utters humbly, "Have mercy on Lord a sinner." Aspiring to be one such though tough, the battle goes on. Pray for me a sinner. God bless.

Always I, I, I. What I'm allowing, what I choose. So deep in this I'ism. Are no earthly Fathers are left that understand nothing comes from ourselves? The only thing we can change is if we have denied I, to follow our Lord to the Father. Then God alone heals us. In the mystery where "I" no longer am but only God is. Of this truth there is no I'ing ourselves out of sin.

James 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. Sometimes we do have to take these things indeed.

I've been in a situation lately that's very difficult. I live with my mom who I think is dying. She has been very hesitant to see a doctor, even though she knows she's probably not going to live that long. I've struggled my whole adult life with trying to become independent of my parents and failing, I think in good part due to a jaw malady and just never feeling very confident on my own around people. Then my dad died about 3 years ago... and now my mom's dying. So I'm being forced to become more independent... but I have this problem with money. Every time I get a decent amount of money, it's like a poison, and my mind fills with all these grand delusions of worldly ambitions (because I'm also a musician, and I can write pretty good songs, and in the past it made me somewhat desirable to the women despite my physical flaws) and lusts of all sorts... but I can never seem to do anything constructive with it. I just wind up blowing the money I can save on pot, alcohol, porn, and guitar stuff. So I just got a new job, after losing a job I loved due to the place closing, and then quitting another job I felt was killing my soul after a month... but when I was at that job I loved, I was just always stoned when I wasn't working. Sometimes I wonder whether it was God who shut the place down because He has been so fervently after me, it seems. My friend that I jam with keeps telling me he's got big plans for our music, and he's using some of our recordings in his clothing company he started... but ya know, I just always get the feeling he's secretly in league with the devil because he's nominally Christian and I've seen a lot of books on mysticism and gnosticism and even freemasonry on his shelf, but he's always assuring me that he's just curious about a lot of things and he's not satanic (even though I never flat out accused him of being satanic). But these are the friends the world has given me, and I'm afraid to lose them, and I'm also afraid I'm just paranoid and possibly mad. I have been distant from them lately, and I even feel bad, like I'm a terrible friend... because these people haven't outwardly done anything blatantly bad to me. In fact, they're always lending me things if I ask... and he's always asking if I need money or if my mom's okay... so it's very confusing. Yet something about them just drains me and seems to drive me into spirals of sin and extreme pessimism. And the situation I'm in, I feel like I'm bound by all these gateways and temptations to sin and evil, and whenever I try to cleanse myself of these things, the longer I go... it's like these bonds are like stretchy bands, and it's like pushing against a slingshot... and at a certain point, the force of all of these bonds seems to slingshot me back to a place even worse than where I was previously. Reminds me of the parable of the unclean spirit and the swept house, where he finds after he is drivin out and returns the house is clean, and he goes out and brings in seven spirits even more wicked than himself. I feel like I'd have to isolate myself from almost everything worldly... and at this point, I would be sacrificing valuable time with my mom... because all she can do is sit in a chair and watch tv, and so that's what I do with her much of the time is watch tv shows. You know that even the most benign tv show has things which ar tempting in it... beautiful actresses whom you can only ignore their allure for so long, and suddenly one day after "successfully" resisting the urge and praying fervently all the time, lust rises up like a wild animal in you and you can't help but be overwhelmed by it. Of course, then I'm ashamed and it takes me a few days to get back to talking to God again, if I don't decide to go on some obsessive bender... and in that case, it may be weeks before I get massively convicted in the spirit and flee desperately back to God. And so... I feel like... the world has me cornered. Even things which most Christians seem to handle, like finances and everyday conveniences... these all seem to be trapping and condemning me ("All things betray thee, who betrayest me"?)... and I can't see a future living in or even in proximity to that pattern of the world without being forced through God's awareness he gave me to watch that pattern destroy me, and to do it all with smiles and gentle words and lies like Peter told Jesus when he spoke of his coming sacrifice... "You don't have to die. You can live!" But Jesus turned and called Peter Satan for speaking those words, even though the words seemed so innocent and caring and even encouraging. That's what I hear the world saying to me. Why are you losing hope, Andrew? There's a place for you here! There are people who love you here. You don't have to be sorrowful, Andrew. You can live well, if you just try and be positive! Wouldn't God want you to be happy? You don't have to live like a refugee, as someone famous once sang. I get so despondent, sometimes I wonder why God called me at all. I just keep getting worse. Even my tastes in music have gotten darker. I was just listening to some proto black metal the other day... and I used to despise black metal. My thoughts get darker and more vicious. My attitude gets more pessimistic and nihilistic. My love for God grows more callous, and recently I had to ask myself "Do I even love God?" I don't ever think I've truly felt it. I've never been grateful, not truly. When I thank God for things, I feel like I'm just saying words, and I know God sees right through my words. I'm not thankful. I take it all for granted, even though He's kept me sheltered and safe and gotten me out of many perilous situations over the years. I have always felt like God was calling me to become a priest and take a vow of poverty... but I never fully trusted the Catholic Church. Too much idolatry. Veneration is one thing, but sometimes, you'd think the Blessed Virgin Mary was the savior. I also have some problems with Orthodoxy... mainly hesychasm. I've been involved pretty intensely in mysticism and the occult before... and it reminds me a lot of Hindu matras and using meditation and trance to enter an altered state of consciousness. But.. I've never heard you say anything I've personally disagreed with. Not sure if you've spoken about hesychasm before... but anyway. I don't know what to do. When my mom dies, I will have a choice to make... and I don't really trust anyone or anything at this point. I almost think I'll wind up on the street because I donno if I can handle the demands of toiling for money that just constantly poisons my mind and my soul, all while trying to maintain a worldly foundation which I have no faith in at all. I know God is calling me, though. He's after me like a Hound dog. He won't leave me alone... and I don't want Him to... but I just don't know if I can do what is required of me... and I've never felt like I could. The Cross requires everything. I guess at some point in the past I don't remember, I asked God to come, but I wasn't really aware of what that meant... when you fall into the hands of the Living God. It's terrifying. It's completely anti-thetical to everything I know and take comfort in. Yet... God has this way of peeling back your comforts, and revealing their desolation. So that you become quite unconfortable with them. So that your home becomes foreign to you... and your friends and even your family become like the worst of enemies. And the world itself becomes like a pile of excrement. And the more you try to partake in the human waste, the more rancid it all gets... and the more rancid your own flesh, your own mind, and your own heart gets... to the point where you are walking around like some undead corpse, and your flesh is rotting off your bones, and you seem to be eating, drinking, and breathing in Death Itself. How can I last much longer pretending like it's all in my head? How can I keep listening to comforting words and warm-looking faces... when I see this terrible abomination lying just behind the veneer, grinning with its grotesque and mocking smile... staring and accusing with its evil eye... driving me deeper and deeper into the deadly sleep of the abyss? Why has God shown me these things, and yet I am either unwilling or unable to respond in the way I should? Talk about bitter medicine... but is this medicine? Or is it just a Living Death? Maybe God has condemned me while still alive. Maybe I'm Satan himself, or some fallen angel, a wayward son of God whom God has trapped and cornered in the flesh for utter annihilation. That's my deepest fear... that I'm God's worst enemy, and that's why this is happening.

Physically ill person feel pain while still alive, similar to spiritually alive person should feel pain in the spirit of spiritual illness, if one doesn't feel pain spiritually; question would be if that person still alive in the spirit. Adam truly died the day he sinned, not physically but, in the spirit.

What would Jesus say to the apathetic man that cares not for anything in this world or the next?

If you are an Orthodox priest, why not say the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit before you begin?. If I say something wrong, sorry father, bless me.

I do not understand why did God heal the disabled man through Christ while Christ's teaching tell us that worldy pain is secondary in contrast to that experienced after death. If God permits things, no matter how horrendous and awful they are, then why did God intervene in this precise moment? Or is it a allegory which depicts the physical pain experiences by the man as a metaphysical one?

Father Spyridon, we are witnessing horrific genocide in the unpovoked invasion of Ukraine by Russia. What is the Orthodox Church doing to end this senseless war in which we witness the slaughter of tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, of Ukrainian civilians by the Russian forces' indiscriminate bombing of Ukrainian cities, towns, villages, and agricultural areas. What is your response to this genocide and these war crimes reminiscent of those crimes of Nazi Germany?

Father, I see that you have avoided the subject of Russia's attack on Ukraine, exacerbated by the rather unusual comments of the Patriarch of Moscow. Your graceful comments is very much anticipated. I can understand that you want to avoid an unnecessary controversy over the subject. But, we are Christians, and that in itself is controversy enough.

OK I’m gonna make fun of myself for a second: But I want to hang onto the poop of this life! In an otherwise cold and heartless world, It’s so nice and warm. And I’m sure the smell will eventually go away right? I know the smell makes me want to vomit but… It’s so warm and soft. 🙄
