Podcasts:
Matthew teaches us lessons from the life of St. Herman of Alaska, a life of simplicity, purity, and commitment.
Matthew compares the role of an Evangelical Protestant pastor with that of an Orthodox priest.
If our choice of churches is based on how they make us feel, are we really interested in worship?
Matthew is taking a step of faith into a new ministry endeavor including a church plant. Listen in on his audio Christmas newsletter.
Matthew talks about what all Christians can learn from monastics, and encourages us to develop a relationship with a monastery.
So what is the monastic life all about? Legalism? Works based salvation? Matthew explores this topic in today's episode.
So why are Orthodox Christians fasting the weeks leading up to Christmas while other Christians are having parties and good food?
Matthew departs from his script today to reflect on the miracle that brought him to Orthodoxy,
So what does it mean "There is no salvation outside of the Church?" Matthew explores that in this week's episode.
Does Christianity begin with a rational, doctrinally defined picture of God? Matthew explores the sacramental nature of the Church and how it relates to our experience of God.
Matthew is back and feeling better. His thoughts today are concentrating on the flow of dogma through the history of the Church. He observes that doctrinal differences between Christians are more than just an annoyance.
Matthew is sick this week so we will take a break from his series on sacraments to present a short feature from our archives.
Are the sacraments some duty to be fulfilled or are they part of our very lives as Orthodox Christians?
Sacraments are not a bridge to anywhere - they are the destination.
Sacraments are how God lives out His life in us moment by moment, day by day.
