Thank you, Father Spyridon ! I'm thankful for the grace of God to enlighten me to change my horrific sinful life 2 years ago. While I’m still a wretched sinner, I’m now faced with intense spiritual warfare which I never had before. It is very difficult. A lot of my past haunts me but it’s nobodies fault but my own. Lord have mercy and I pray for strength to endure until It’s my time to depart to the next life. ☦️

Mark, me too. I was received into the Church earlier this year. Here is a prayer from the Russian (Jordanville) Orthodox prayer book that I use: “O Most Holy Theotokos, my Lady: through your holy and all-powerful prayers, turn away from me, your humble and unworthy servant, despair, forgetfulness, unreasonableness, indifference, and all unclean, evil and blasphemous thoughts from my wretched heart and darkened mind. Extinguish the flame of my passions, for I am poor and wretched. Deliver me from my numerous and wicked memories and fantasies. Free me from all evil acts, for you are blessed by all generations, and your most honorable name is glorified unto ages of ages. Amen.”

God Bless you Father Spyridon , you are reaching the USA in droves , Thanks

I was riding my motorcycle down some country roads the other day, thinking about all the ways Christ describes the Kingdom of Heaven and meditating on what meaning to ascribe to them. Great timing on this video, it really helped me understand that parable better. What I came away with is that the Kingdom of Heaven is not just some place where we go when we die, but more like a ‘spiritual state of being’ that begins here, now, in this life. We can choose to enter into it and participate (or not) by our actions and the movement of our nouse/heart. If I’m on the right track with my understanding, then burying our talents in the ground or allowing the weeds, distractions, fears, worries, and troubles of this life to choke out the seed sown within us are all warnings to guard the garden of our hearts from worldly temptations and admonishment to cultivate the ‘soil’ of our souls to receive, grow, and nurture the kingdom seed sown within our hearts instead. By so doing, we can enter into the Kingdom of Heaven state of being in this life, becoming active participants God’s will and plans for our life.

I grew up Protestant, a member of the Nazarene church. At 36 now, I consider myself the definition of the prodigal son. I knew I needed Christ in my life, but the flesh kept pulling me away and still struggles to let go. I just want to say thank you from the bottom of this broken sinner’s heart Father Spyridon. I have been seeking a deeper understanding of God and Christ for three years now. It has been through much mental strain and struggle that brought me to my knees begging for the Lord to show me the path forward. I have no idea how you came to be as a suggested content creator for me, but I find it no coincidence that every time I open the KZread App, there is not just a valuable lesson to be heard, but the one I need to hear. I do not fully understand the orthodoxy yet, but i believe that God has led me here for a reason. My heart yearns for the daily lessons you provide, bless you Father for the work you are doing in Christ’s name! May the Lord continue to guide me on this Spiritual Journey of enlightenment!

Many of us know this feeling of fear you speak of. The lord does not want us to worry nor have fear either in ourselves nor for the world. You must figure out what it is you are fearful of and confront it by giving your fears to the Lord. It's not always easy and I too find myself being bombarded with my past or even embarrassing sins that I have committed. I'm in my first month of becoming Orthodox Christian and I'm hoping to be baptized and crisimated around Christmas. The only other advice I can give you my friend is if you haven't already, see about talking to a priest in your local parish or if you have a monastery near you call up to see if you can speak with the Abbot.

A while back, the thought of just how horrible things would be today if Christ hadn’t come when He did struck me. And I recoiled in horror. Then I examined myself under the same lens. Even more horror. To me, the best consolation in this case-other than our Lord’s Sacrifice-is the Lord’s commandment to “Go, AND SIN NO MORE” (emphasis mine). It’s a tough battle to fight, but the rewards of overcoming are so sweet that they strengthen us to always get up and march on.

I’m reminded of the phrase, “today, attention is currency” referring to how global big tech companies seek to make people addicted of their apps and products. If our attention is currency, then how are we spending it? Are we burying it in the mindless dirt of TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, where we get little/no return for it? Or investing the finite amount of time and attention we’re given into things that are edifying and give us a 5 fold return?

I have a big problem with this (despite having many personal experiences with holly spirit) the people I meet daily have spirit of atheism or spirit of religion (many are religious Orthodox Christians, they "go to church". Neither of these are able to stomach evangelium, their reaction varies from blank stair, laughter or anger.

Matthew 25 is the MOST important portion of scripture. Even more than the Prodigal Son.

I have trouble understanding what my gift is, and how I can use it. I have a very special gift. I perceive everything in a certain way that I know is unique from how everyone else perceives. It is not just opinions and experiences, but my physical senses that I know for sure have this specialness to them. I don't see invisible things or hear other-worldly sounds. My gift cannot be felt by other people. How can I make someone see through my eyes or hear with my ears? So I have to try and get people to believe that I am telling the truth. And, as you know, many people do not believe something without evidence. I suppose having such unique senses should allow me to understand things that other people do not understand, and help people in ways that only I can. But for some reason, I feel like I am the most confused person. I take in everything around me and I get so overwhelmed with how much there is to make sense of and understand. I know that the Bible and the Church contain the Truth and I need Christianity as my baseline. But after that it's hard to know what to do. My hope is that I am just not meant to understand my gift yet, and God needs me to use it for a specific purpose in the future. But I am also concerned that I am supposed to be using it right now, and I am wasting it.
