Podcasts about fathers

In this episode, we dive into the often-overlooked role of men in the birthing process and the profound rite of passage it represents for fathers, mothers, and children alike. We explore how devotion, presence, and embodied masculinity can transform not only the birth experience but the entire foundation of family life. From challenging the medicalized narratives that strip away natural sovereignty, to honoring birth as a spiritual initiation that shapes identity, resilience, and connection, this conversation is a call for men to reclaim their rightful place as protectors, anchors, and conscious participants in one of life's most powerful thresholds.Time Stamps (00:00) Episode Teaser(00:39) Intro(06:26) Simon Esler's Personal Journey and Creative Pursuits(18:53) Navigating Sociopolitical Differences in the Arts(29:32) The Role of Masculinity in Birth and Pregnancy(42:18) Success Stories of Alternative Medicine(45:02) The Role of Fathers in Birth and Family(47:33) The Rite of Passage in Birth(49:51) Impact of C-Sections on Birth Experience(52:06) Challenges and Pressures in Modern Birth Practices(57:41) Breastfeeding and the Family Unit(01:03:14) Fatherhood and Devotion(01:15:43) Balancing Work and Family as a Father(01:23:18) Balancing Chaos and Parenting(01:24:07) Understanding Human Design in Family Dynamics(01:26:58) The Importance of Devotion and Presence(01:30:17) The Transformative Power of Birth for Men(01:36:06) Navigating Birth Experiences and Medical Systems(01:43:46) Reclaiming Birth and Cultural Conditioning(01:48:55) The Reclaiming Birth Conference(01:53:44) Final Reflections and Community EngagementGuest Linkshttps://www.simonesler.com/ https://www.reclaimingbirthconference.com/simon-esler (use code SIMON15 for 15% off your ticket)https://www.instagram.com/simon_esler1111/ Previous episodes with SimonConnect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthSubscribe to Here for the Truth FridaysTake the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramAccess all our links

In this solo episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, I dive into one of the greatest challenges facing parents today: raising kids in the digital age. Between iPhones, TikTok, YouTube, and even AI tools like ChatGPT, technology is moving at lightning speed—and as fathers, we can't afford to bury our heads in the sand.   I share three powerful strategies that will help you set the right boundaries for your kids without putting them in “tech prison.” From creating guardrails with apps like Bark, to implementing a family tech contract, to modeling discipline with our own devices, this episode is about protecting our kids while also preparing them to navigate the digital world with responsibility and confidence.     TIMELINE SUMMARY [0:00] - Welcome to the Dad Edge movement and today's focus on raising kids in the digital age [1:02] - Why technology is moving faster than parents can keep up [2:11] - Why this generation is the first to face AI, smartphones, and social media all at once [3:08] - Introducing Dad Edge Alliance and Boardroom Brotherhood for fathers [4:00] - Strategy #1: Set guardrails, not walls, around tech use [4:58] - The rookie mistake of limiting apps without realizing kids just switch platforms [6:12] - Workarounds kids use to bypass phone restrictions [7:05] - Why apps like Bark provide a real solution for parents [7:25] - Strategy #2: Create a family tech contract with clear boundaries and accountability [8:42] - Examples of contracts around bedtime, screen-free zones, and check-ins [8:59] - Strategy #3: Model discipline by living the same tech rules as your kids [9:56] - Why hypocrisy in tech rules undermines your authority [11:14] - Setting boundaries with work and modeling digital discipline at home [12:22] - The Bark app, Bark phone, and Bark watch explained [14:05] - Why I don't allow TikTok or YouTube for my younger kids [14:54] - The Bark watch for younger kids as a safe, affordable option [15:31] - Final recap of the three strategies for digital parenting [16:13] - Closing encouragement and link to resources     5 KEY TAKEAWAYS   1. Guardrails Beat Walls Complete restriction creates rebellion. Guardrails, not tech prisons, teach kids to manage technology responsibly while keeping them safe. 2. Apps Aren't Foolproof Kids can and will find workarounds. Relying only on built-in phone restrictions isn't enough—you need smarter tools like Bark to stay ahead. 3. Contracts Create Clarity A family tech contract sets clear expectations for screen time, apps, and accountability. Clarity prevents arguments and keeps kids accountable. 4. Model the Discipline You Preach If you tell your kids “no phones at dinner,” but you're scrolling, the rule collapses. Fathers must live the same digital discipline they demand. 5. Your Kids' Tech Is Your Business Phones, apps, and online behavior aren't private property for minors. Fathers must stay engaged, set boundaries, and protect their kids in the digital age.       LINKS & RESOURCES   Bark App & Devices (Protect your kids online): https://www.thedadedge.com/bark Episode Show Notes Page: https://www.thedadedge.com/1377 Dad Edge Podcast Website: https://www.thedadedge.com/podcast Join The Alliance (career-driven dads): https://www.thedadedge.com/alliance Dad Edge Boardroom (entrepreneurial dads): https://www.thedadedge.com/boardroom 25 Questions to Spark Connection With Your Partner: https://www.thedadedge.com/25questions     If this episode gave you clarity on parenting in the digital age, please rate, review, follow, and share the podcast.

Dr. Charlie Wingard has been a faithful minister of the gospel, serving PCA & OPC congregations in North Carolina, Massachusetts, Alabama, and Mississippi. He is the Minister of Shepherding at First Presbyterian Church in Jackson, Mississippi, and serves as Professor of Pastoral Theology & Dean of Students at RTS in Jackson.

Greenville Seminary is pleased to announce Season 2 of the Dead Presbyterians Society Podcast. This podcast is built on a very simple conviction: to be faithful in the present, we must be rooted in the past. The old paths of Presbyterianism in the 18th and 19th centuries have much to teach us about the path we walk today. In weekly 30 minute episodes, we will reflect on the lives and works of figures such as Samuel Miller, James Henley Thornwell, and B.B. Warfield. We will consider enduring themes – prayer, Christian experience, and the church–matters of eternal significance for the people of God until Christ returns. Available everywhere you listen to podcasts. gpts.edu/dead-presbyterians-society.   Special thanks to Nathan Clark George for our opening and closing instrumental. Nathan serves as the Pastor of Worship alongside Kevin DeYoung at Christ Covenant Church in Matthews, NC. You can access Nathan's fantastic catalog here.

Today on The Dad Whisperer Podcast I'm joined by my friend, Dr. Zach Clinton, VP of the AACC (American Association of Christian Counselors), an organization I've had the privilege of partnering with for many years.

If you're a dad who needs encouragement and more input about leading your daughter spiritually, you'll love this conversation!

If you have children, this episode is worth every minute. Kennedy Straub, Josh and Christi's beloved daughter, joins the show to talk about how she's learning to navigate emotions and feelings through the lens of an 11-year-old. In this episode, we continue season 6 on Relational Intelligence in Kids by talking about the difference between emotions and feelings. For example, did you know that emotions keep you safe and feelings keep you aware? Or that one of them causes you “to move” or take action? Kennedy also shares the tools she's using to identify feelings and emotions in her life, what kids need from their parents in their uncomfortable feelings, and how her version of “spiritual jiujitsu” is helping her navigate those BIG feelings in prayer. Time Stamps: 0:00 Introduction 2:25 The difference between feelings and emotions 6:38 An introduction to all things Kennedy 9:40 Iceberg of emotions through the eyes of an 11-year-old 13:40 Tools to identify the emotions under the iceberg 17:04 What kids need from parents in their uncomfortable emotions 24:08 Kennedy's analogy for Jesus helping with emotions Show Notes:Sign up for a free trial of KidsRQ! https://www.kidsrq.comJoin KidsRQ at the Founding Members rate: https://www.kidsrq.comIf you're interested in a marriage you love, fill out this form: https://www.famousathome.com/loveyourmarriageDownload NONAH's single Find My Way Home by clicking here: https://bellpartners.ffm.to/findmywayhome

St. Bonaventure (1221-1274) was the friend and colleague of St. Thomas Aquinas. What Aquinas was to the Dominicans, Bonaventure was to the Franciscans. St. Bonaventure is known as the second founder of the Franciscans because he was important for the organization of the order, and for bringing forth and expanding upon St. Francis' spirituality.  Links Check out this three-part series on St. Bonaventure by Pope Benedict XVI (from 2010) Part 1: https://www.catholicculture.org/culture/library/view.cfm?id=9267 Part 2: https://www.catholicculture.org/culture/library/view.cfm?id=9271 Part 3: https://www.catholicculture.org/culture/library/view.cfm?id=9284 The Classics of Western Spirituality volume on St. Bonaventure: https://www.paulistpress.com/Products/2121-2/bonaventure.aspx SIGN UP for Catholic Culture's Newsletter:  https://www.catholicculture.org/newsletters/ DONATE at:  http://www.catholicculture.org/donate/audio Dr. Papandrea's Homepage:  http://www.jimpapandrea.com Dr. Papandrea's latest book is The Original Church: What it Meant - and Still Means - to Be a Christian: https://scepterpublishers.org/products/the-original-church-what-it-meant-and-still-means-to-be-a-christian Dr. Papandrea's YouTube channel, The Original Church: https://www.youtube.com/@TheOriginalChurch Theme Music: Gaudeamus (Introit for the Feast of All Saints), sung by Jeff Ostrowski.

The Evergetinos gives us stories that cut to the heart of Christian life: how do we respond when insulted, wronged, or treated unjustly? The world would have us defend our honor, insist on our rights, repay injury with injury. But the Fathers reveal another way — the way of Christ — in which anger is cut out at the root, vengeance rejected, and the heart freed from the tyranny of retaliation. The Example of St. Pachomios When insulted by his own brother, St. Pachomios felt the sting of anger rise within him. Yet instead of defending himself, he went into the night to weep before God. He confessed not his brother's fault, but his own weakness. This is the paradox: the saint sees not an occasion to justify himself but to deepen his repentance. The world teaches us to stand tall when wronged; Pachomios bowed low, stretching out his hands like Christ crucified, begging mercy and was healed. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:08:19 Bob Čihák, AZ: P 278, #7 00:13:45 Bob Čihák, AZ: P 278, #7 00:14:28 Lilly: I have it too 00:21:51 Myles Davidson: I heard someone describe a debate between a Catholic and Orthodox recently as a “blood sport” 00:38:38 Lilly: A response could be “I'll pray for you.” 00:48:40 Andrew Zakhari: I find that in counseling when there is over eagerness on my part to try to help, it almost creates a controlling temperament and often leads to frustration for me and the counselee. 00:58:36 Bob Čihák, AZ: P 280, A 01:00:47 Bob Čihák, AZ: or Book by P G Wodehouse, "Aunts Aren't Gentlemen" 01:14:58 Kate : I have often heard that it is not sinful to feel anger so long as we do not act on that anger.  But St. Pachomios is weeping because he even feels anger. 01:16:00 Quinn Larnach-Jones: Thank you, Fr.! 01:16:02 Rebecca Thérèse: Thank you☺️ 01:16:09 Catherine Opie: Many thanks once again for a thought provoking talk.

When it comes to making decisions in life, we all have multiple voices speaking to us. Clayton Ritter shares ways to hear and choose the Fathers voice.

In this episode, Fr. Anthony examines the nature of ultimate reality—God, gods, and the arche'—through Scripture and the Fathers. With insights from Journey to Reality, he shows how God transcends all categories and draws us into worship and transformation.  Enjoy the show! ------ Ultimate Reality: God, gods, arche' Fr. Anthony Perkins; 10 September 2025 Text: Zachery Porcu, PhD. 2025. “Chapter 2 – Ultimate Reality” in Journey to Reality; Sacramental Life in a Secular Age.  Ancient Faith Publishing. Verses to Frame the Discussion Exodus 24:10. And they saw the God of Israel; and there was under his feet as it were a pavement of sapphire stone, like the very heaven for clearness. Exodus 33:11. Thus the LORD used to speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. When Moses turned again into the camp, his servant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart from the tent. Isaiah 6:5. And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!” HE IS GREATER EVEN THAN THIS (SOME FUN WITH AN “INCONSISTENCY”  Exodus 33:17-20. And the LORD said to Moses, “This very thing that you have spoken I will do; for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name.” Moses said, “I pray thee, show me thy glory.” And he said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim before you my name ‘The LORD'; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. But,” he said, “you cannot see my face; for man shall not see me and live.” St. Ambrose: “Who shall see my face and live?” Scripture said, and rightly so. For our eyes cannot bear the sun's rays, and whoever turns too long in its direction is generally blinded, so they say. Now if one creature cannot look upon another creature without loss and harm to himself, how can he see the dazzling face of his eternal Creator while covered with the clothing that is this body? St. Gregory of Nyssa: He would not have shown himself to his servant if the sight were such as to bring the desire of the beholder to an end, since the true sight of God consists in this, that the one who looks up to God never ceases in that desire. For he says, “You cannot see my face, for man cannot see me and live.” Scripture does not indicate that this causes the death of those who look, for how would the face of life ever be the cause of death to those who approach it? On the contrary, the divine is by its nature life-giving. Yet it is the characteristic of the divine nature to transcend all characteristics. Therefore he who thinks God is something to be known does not have life, because he has turned from true being to what he considers by sense perception to have being. Job 38:19-20.  “Where is the way to the dwelling of light, and where is the place of darkness,   that you may take it to its territory and that you may discern the paths to its home? 1 Timothy 6:16. I charge you to keep the commandment unstained and free from reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ;  and this will be made manifest at the proper time by the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords,  who alone has immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen. John 1:18. No one has ever seen God; the only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has made him known. On the resulting religion: Revelation 9-11.  And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives for ever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives for ever and ever; they cast their crowns before the throne, singing,  “Worthy art thou, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for thou didst create all things, and by thy will they existed and were created.” 2 Corinthians 3:18.  And we all, with unveiled face, beholding[a] the glory of the Lord, are being changed into his likeness from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit. St. John Chrysostom.  The Spirit is God, and we are raised to the level of the apostles, because we shall all behold him together with uncovered faces. As soon as we are baptized, the soul beams even more brightly than the sun because it is cleansed by the Spirit, and we not only behold God's glory, we also receive from it a kind of splendor. Segue to the book chapter (theosis requires a repentant mind) Religion should be more than our consumer society would lead us to believe it is. “What is the nature of reality?”  What does it all mean? Mankind wants to know, and he has tried to provide answers.  Many involve a mysterious higher power we call God. The problem with the word “God.” [Psalm 94:3.  For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods.] [Isaiah 45:5.. I am the Lord, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God.] Zachary Porcu's solution: Arche' Other solutions? Capital “G” God.  “I AM”.  Unmoved Mover. Light.  True God. Tian, Brahman, Absolute. What is the Arche' like? (P. 25; J) Life (essence).  Light (essence) Arche compared to gods, angels, men, and rocks. Last paragraph of chapter; So then, when we ask about whether there is a God in this sense, we are not asking whether there is some specific superhuman entity that orders or governs the universe.  That is thinking far too small.  We are asking about the arche' of all being: the source, principle, the thing that is being itself.  This is the highest of all questions; there is nothing the answer does not affect.  NOTE: The question of whether the God of the Old Testament was the arche' or a demiurge was settled decisively: God was, is, and always shall be perfect and uncreated.

If you've ever heard the dreaded words, “I love you but I am not in love with you,” or, more bluntly, “I want a divorce,” you know what follows is a mental and emotional rollercoaster of epic proportion. But what you probably don't know is what to do if that day comes and what your rights might be when it comes to protecting yourself, your money, and your relationship with your children. My guest today, Attorney David Pissara, has made it his life's work to help men navigate what is likely the most difficult part of his life – post-divorce. Today, we talk about how to avoid conflict during these times while simultaneously protecting your rights, the emotional manipulation many men face and how to confront it, whether or not the family court system is biased and what to expect when dealing with the courts, what indicators to be on the lookout for you to recognize if a divorce is pending, and even how AI may change family law.

Genesis 34 Pastor Ron Stauffer

In this Father's Day message we look at what it really means to be a good father. This is not just about raising children but also about mentoring and guiding others with love and wisdom. Too often the role of fathers is pushed to the side, yet the Bible shows us how important fathers are in shaping lives and building faith.Through the story of Moses, who grew up without a strong father figure, we see how he became the first to call God “Father.” We discover that God reveals Himself not only through His power and provision but also through His compassion, mercy, and grace.This episode encourages dads, grandfathers, and mentors to model the heart of God in everyday life. You will be inspired to see God as the ultimate Father and to reflect His character by leading with compassion, showing kindness, and pointing others toward His goodness.

A Fathers Prayer | Greg Lake | Paradox Church Sunday Gathering

07/09/2025 Pastor Terry Appel

Recorded Live at One Heart Church (Port Lincoln) at the 9am service on the 7th of September, 2025

Host Michael Azevedo is joined by veteran film and television director Rob Spera.   Rob's been on the faculty at the American Film Institute for over 20 years. His feature films include The Sweet Life, Fathers and Sons, and the cult classic Leprechaun in the Hood.    His numerous television credits include Criminal Minds, Supernatural, Suspect Behavior, and Army Wives. During four seasons as Resident Director at the Tony award-winning Actors Theatre of Louisville, he directed over 75 productions. And he is currently the Head of Directing at Rideback Rise, a Fellowship Program for mid-career screenwriters who are making the move to directing.    Rob discusses his book called the Film/TV Director's Field Manual: 70 Maxims to Change Your Filmmaking. Rob considers the manual to be an "anti-textbook" meant to be kept in a filmmaker's back pocket on set to provide distilled guidance with far-reaching results.   The roughly 200 page book is a collection of 70 maxims that distill filmcraft techniques to their essence, making them readily accessible to the filmmaker. The book is filled with valuable first-hand insight and guidance.    Making Media Now is sponsored by Filmmakers Collaborative, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting media makers from across the creative spectrum. From providing fiscal sponsorship to presenting an array of informative and educational programs, Filmmakers Collaborative supports creatives at every step in their journey.

In the lead-up to Father’s Day, we’ve been playing a game of Truth or Dad, seeing how the dads react to some pranks. Today, we decided to switch things up by calling Fitzy’s Dad, finishing off with a heartfelt moment.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if the very foundation of America was built on a system that was never meant to serve us all? And what if reclaiming something as simple and as profound as our intuition could be the key to creating a more just and loving future? In this episode of HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I sit down with scholar, advocate, and bestselling author Anna Malaika Tubbs to explore the roots of American patriarchy. Drawing from her recent book Erased: What American Patriarchy Has Hidden from Us and her celebrated debut The Three Mothers, Anna reveals how patriarchy was intentionally written into law, how it continues to shape institutions like healthcare and education, and why reclaiming women's intuition is one of the most radical steps we can take toward change. We explore the intentional design of patriarchy in America's laws, and why recognizing that history is often written by those in power is essential to collective healing. Anna highlights the stories of courageous women who have been erased, yet whose contributions have powerfully shaped our nation's evolution. Anna also shares insights on partnership, motherhood, and the ways our relationships and communities can model new ways of sharing power…the path to true democracy. This conversation is both eye-opening and empowering, offering a reminder that because these systems were built, we have the power to build something different. Key Moments You'll Love:

Send us a textThe moment Casey Wagonfield's now-wife and her six-month-old son entered his life, everything changed. After years of job-hopping and questionable decisions, he suddenly faced a profound realization: "Now I've got responsibilities and a little human to take care of." This awakening marks the beginning of a remarkable fatherhood journey shared in this heartfelt conversation.With raw honesty, Casey opens up about adopting his oldest son at age eight, revealing the beautiful truth that fatherhood transcends biology. "I'm his, he's mine," Casey affirms, describing how he's the only father his son has ever known. This chosen relationship forms the foundation of a blended family that now includes three children. Listeners will connect with Casey's candid admission about the differences in parenting boys versus his daughter: "You can't talk to her like you talk to the boys" – a learning curve many fathers experience.The conversation explores how Casey's own upbringing shaped his parenting philosophy. Raised by parents who emphasized honesty and accountability, these values became cornerstones in his own household alongside faith, which grew central to their family through his wife's influence. A particularly touching moment comes when Casey shares his pride in his son's spiritual journey and requests to be rebaptized – a decision made entirely on his own.Working parents will find Casey's struggle with work-life balance deeply relatable. After spending six months working in North Carolina while only coming home on weekends early in his career, he recognized the need for change as his children grew. This balancing act between professional ambition and family presence represents one of modern fatherhood's greatest challenges, as does teaching children to remain humble despite material comfort.Casey leaves us with three powerful pieces of advice: spend more time with your kids, talk to them (and encourage them to talk to you), and keep them humble. These principles form the foundation of intentional fatherhood, creating a lasting impact. Whether you're a new dad finding your way or an experienced father looking to strengthen your connection with your children, this conversation offers both inspiration and practical wisdom for the journey.Support the showPlease don't forget to leave us a review wherever you consume your podcasts!

As the weather cools and the pigskins start to fly, we thought it would be great to bring on fellow dad and youth football coach, Bob Hansen to talk about Friday Night....I mean Varsity Blues (1999). High school football in Texas, highlighted by career-altering injuries, the rise of underrated players, and the pressures of parenting student-athletes.We also add another movie in the Movie You Can't Wait To Show Your Kids portfolio, with Boiler Room (2000). Hustle culture has been around long before TikTok and Insta, but some of the same pitfalls still remain.

In this episode, Dr. David Alan Black, in a comprehensive discussion about the authorship of the book of Hebrews, explores both internal and external evidence that supports Pauline authorship. Dr. Black shares his journey into New Testament studies, the historical context of authorship debates, and the significance of early church fathers in affirming Paul's authorship. The conversation emphasizes the importance of examining Greek texts and challenges common assumptions about the differences between Hebrews and other Pauline epistles.

In the final part of "The Church and Her Fathers," Greg introduces key Church Fathers—their lives, writings, teachings, and accomplishments—highlighting their unity on core Catholic doctrines despite minor disagreements. He explores how they represent the early, developing Church, maturing over centuries while preserving its identity, and stresses continuity to today. Greg shares why engaging the Fathers converts Protestants, including Newman's famous quote, and wraps the series with an encouraging call to discover the Church's roots.

Make no mistake, we live in a matrix. And the bar set by Western culture for raising children is deceptively low. As parents, we do everything we can to give our kids an advantage. But is more parenting “knowledge“ really what we need? Are child outcomes really better today than they were 10 to 20 years ago? In this episode, we continue season 6 on Relational Intelligence in Kids by offering a new, yet ancient, paradigm for raising our children. Time Stamps:0:00 Introduction1:13 What is the bar we're setting for our kids?3:02 Is more parenting “knowledge” really what we're missing?8:00 What makes KidsRQ unique11:43 Why thinking, feeling, and relating at the same time is where growth happens14:50 A vision for kids beyond the Western matrix18:20 Raising “living letters” to the world25:00 How life and fruit can grow from our emotions Show Notes:Sign up for a free trial of KidsRQ! https://www.kidsrq.com Join KidsRQ at the Founding Members rate: https://www.kidsrq.com If you're interested in a marriage you love, fill out this form: https://www.famousathome.com/loveyourmarriage Download NONAH's single Find My Way Home by clicking here: https://bellpartners.ffm.to/findmywayhome

The Fathers teach that anger is a form of idolatry. Just as the pagans once bowed before false gods, so too does the man who gives himself to wrath bow before the idol of rage, making himself a slave rather than a disciple of Christ. To renounce anger is to trample down idols and become a bloodless martyr, confessing Christ not with words but with meekness.   The first step in overcoming anger is silence — not speaking when provoked. From this small beginning, grace can bring the soul to tranquility. Abba Moses, once insulted, at first bore it in silence, and later even welcomed humiliation, reproaching himself instead of others. Anger, the elders say, is like a fire that lives on fuel: self-will, pride, contention, the need to be right. If these causes are cut off, the fire goes out; if they are fed, it consumes the heart with remembrance of wrongs and bitterness until the soul is destroyed.   The devil seizes every chance to inflame anger — sometimes over trifles, sometimes under the guise of justice. Yet the one who follows Christ must become a stranger to wrath. The Fathers themselves struggled long: some spent years begging God for freedom from this passion, knowing that controlling the tongue is the doorway to purifying the heart. Outward restraint is not enough; even hidden hatred makes a man a murderer before God. For the Lord searches not only deeds but thoughts, and will judge the secrets of the heart. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:04:58 Catherine Opie: Good evening/morning what page are we currently on? 00:07:04 Bob Čihák, AZ: P 276, G 00:07:46 Catherine Opie: Reacted to "P 276, G" with ❤️ 00:09:28 Anna: He participated in Byzantine Liturgy.

Today we started our Fall Wednesday evening education series, during which we are working our way through Zachery Porcu's "Journey to Reality" from Ancient Faith Publishing.  Today, after framing our discussion with the "trees walking" account of the healing of the blind man from the Gospel according to St. Mark (8:22-38 - see below), we cover the main topics in chapter one.  Enjoy the show! ------ Trees Walking: the Problem of Discerning the Gospel Fr. Anthony Perkins; 03 September 2025 Text: Zachery Porcu, PhD. 2025. “Chapter 1 – What is Christianity” in Journey to Reality; Sacramental Life in a Secular Age.  Ancient Faith Publishing. St. Mark 8:22-38 (KJV) 22 And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him. 23 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought. St. Ambrose; Through the font of the Lord and the preaching of the Lord's passion, your eyes were then opened. You who seemed before to have been blind in heart began to see the light of the sacraments. 24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking. Why would he see men as trees??? 25 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly. Note the progression. 26 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town. 27 And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am? 28 And they answered, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets. How could they not know? 29 And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ. But even using the right word, how much did he understand? 30 And he charged them that they should tell no man of him. 31 And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. 32 And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him. And how much of this plain speaking were they able to hear? 33 But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men. This is the warning: a poor understanding of the truth can lead us to condemnation.  (segue to text) So how can we know the Gospel in a way that saves? Intellectual knowledge.  Study the Bible!  [oops] More intellectual knowledge.  Study the Fathers. [oops] The Bible is not the source of the Gospel or of the Church or of Christianity.  All the written texts of Holy Tradition – to include the Bible - are not the source of Orthodoxy. How can I make this claim? It is not the way that the members of the early Church were saved and grew in holiness.  It was not a text that evangelized the Roman Empire.  It was a way of being; a way of thinking; a way of relating.  It was first called “The Way.” The metaphor of the family (p 13) Our way of relating to information is new.  Before, information was contextualized within relationships.  We still have some of this, but even people's experience of Orthodoxy is increasingly a-contextual and un-Orthodox. The metaphor of sex (p. 15) Two types of Christianity          Text-based (re-enactment).  Ideas.  Dissolute community.          Sacramental participation.  A community with a life-energy (an angel!) Problems with using the Bible.  Genres: myth, song, prophecy, history, rules, authors, styles.  Needs interpretation! Need to avoid:  ignoring – forsaking both the culture AND the text (progressive/individualist).  Make the text and the culture what we want it to be. A paradigm shift to Sacramental Reality.

What if the key to shaping your reality isn't about controlling the outside world, but about the state of being you choose in each moment?   In this episode, I sit down with Darryl Anka, who for over 40 years has been channeling Bashar — a multidimensional being who shares teachings on how our beliefs, emotions, and choices create the reality we experience.

Some Catholic exorcists online are fueling fear and scrupulosity. Their words paint a trickster God — a God who sets traps, honors demonic “contracts,” or sends demons against you for something as simple as laying hands in prayer. This is not Catholicism. This is pop demonology — and at times, undercover paganism.In this video, I walk through popular exorcist claims (from “bloodline curses” to the so-called “blast radius” of the St. Michael prayer) and show how they conflict with the Catechism, the Fathers, and the saints. I'll contrast pop theology of fear with the traditional Catholic vision of God as Bridegroom — the God who runs to us, restores His image in us, and whose mercy always outweighs the power of demons.If your spirituality makes you fear demons more than you trust God… it's not Catholicism. It's not the Gospel.
