Ted, a former church planter turned lead pastor apprentice, shares his journey from Greek Orthodox roots to executive leadership. Dave, the founding pastor and now CEO of Exponential, reflects on stepping back, championing Ted, and why a leadership handoff rooted in humility, clarity, and trust works. Together, they reveal the intentional 18-month apprenticeship model they followed—complete with timelines, vision handoffs, and mutual respect. If you're navigating leadership transitions in your church, this episode is full of practical wisdom and encouragement.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Military reporter Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. The Israeli military said this morning that it was set to begin ground operations in Deir al-Balah for the first time since the start of the war, issuing an evacuation order for Palestinians in the southwest of the city in the central Gaza Strip. Deir al-Balah is one of the few places in the Strip where the military has not yet operated with ground troops because it believed Hamas to be holding hostages there, though it has conducted airstrikes in the city. Fabian spells out scenarios why the IDF is now ready to operate there. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office issued a statement late Thursday expressing its regret after IDF tank fire killed three civilians in Gaza’s only Catholic church, heeding a demand from US President Donald Trump, who angrily phoned the Israeli premier over the incident. Following the fatal strike, the Latin patriarch, Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the highest-ranking Catholic official in Jerusalem, entered the Gaza Strip on Friday alongside Theophilos III, the Greek Orthodox patriarch of Jerusalem. Fabian describes the events that led to the accidental shelling. Dozens of Gazans were reportedly killed near aid distribution sites in the past few days. The Israeli military said it had fired warning shots at suspects who approached its troops after they did not heed calls to stop, about a kilometer away from an aid site that was not active at the time.The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a US-backed group that runs the aid site, said there were no incidents or fatalities there on Saturday and that it has repeatedly warned people not to travel to its distribution points in the dark. Fabian discusses the refusals from the IDF and the GHF for reporters to visit the sites and help clear up the tangled narratives. Israel is preparing to send medical equipment and medicine to a hospital in the Druze-majority city of Sweida, in southern Syria, after days of violence left an estimated 900 people dead and the medical facility badly damaged, the Health Ministry announced on Saturday. We hear about the IDF's involvement in the Syrian province over the past week and how hundreds of Israeli Druze have breached the border -- sometimes repeatedly. What does this mean about Israel's security along the border? Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

This is Angelos, one of the permanent residents of the village of Mikro Papingo, which is one of the 46 stone villages in this mountainous region of northwest Greece called the Zagorochoria.  Angelos is one of our neighbours; he is retired now but continues to contribute to the musical heritage of this region. He makes his own wooden whistles which he plays, keeping alive regional tunes and songs. He is also one of the cantors for the village Greek Orthodox church.  From time to time, when we are playing music in our garden Angelos will pop over to listen and sometimes join in.  On this recording we have joined him on his aloni (terrace) one early-summer morning to look at his whistles and to record him playing and singing some of these regional songs and tunes.  Sipping locally distilled tsipouro we explore some of these sounds together with a sense of companionship and relaxation.  The music of Zagori and wider Epirus is not well known in the wider musical world, but it remains one of the most important and best preserved cultural traditions of Greece.  I would highly recommend further exploration of the region's polyphonic songs, laments , shepherd's songs, and drinking songs where klarino (clarinet), violi (violin), laouto (lute) , defi (tambor) and voice weave a mesmeric aural web that is unforgettable.  Recorded by Peter Annear.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 295-points this morning from Friday's close, at 21,750 on turnover of 4.4-billion N-T. The market rose on Friday, after crude oil prices have rebounded, but investors remain wary about whether the U-S will launch an attack on Iran within the next two weeks. CSBC refutes submarine prototype hull deformation rumor C-S-B-C is refuting reports that have been appearing on the internet claiming its Narwhal indigenous submarine prototype showed signs of hull deformation during its initial sea trials last week. The shipbuilder says protrusion on the port side of the bow of the Narwhal, houses the submarine's passive ranging sonar system, and was not a deformation as has been alleged by some internet users. According to C-S-B-C, the sonar dome protects the sonar system, and the protrusion (凸起) is due to the installation of high-precision electronic sonar components inside the dome. Reports say the posts on the internet are believed to be part Beijing's campaign to spread military disinformation targeting Taiwan. Debutant Lee Kuang-hsin shatters record to win Cross Penghu Bay Swim And, First-time competitor Lee Guang-hsin slashed 23-minutes off the men's 5,000-meter record to claim victory in the 23rd Cross Penghu Bay Swim's marquee (大牌的) race.

Syria Suicide Bomber Kills 20 in Church A suicide bomber has killed at least 20 in a Greek Orthodox church in Syria AP correspondent Donna Warder reports Turkey Detains Journalist Critical of Erdogan Turkish state media say authorities have formally arrested a prominent journalist on Sunday for allegedly "threatening" President Recep Tayyip Erdogan online. The detention of Fatih Altayli, whose daily commentaries on YouTube attract hundreds of thousands of viewers, comes amid a widespread crackdown on the opposition. State-run Anadolu Agency said he was questioned after his detention late Saturday over a comment he made following a recent poll that showed more than 70% of the public opposed (反對) a lifetime presidency for Erdogan, who has been in power for more than two decades. Local media says Altayli denied the accusation during police questioning. Spain Reaches NATO Deal on Defense Spending Target Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez says that Spain reached a deal with NATO to be excluded from a 5% of GDP defense spending target. The deal was reached days before the military alliance's leaders will gather at a summit in The Hague. Sanchez said that Spain would be able to keep its commitments to the 32-nation military alliance by spending 2.1% of GDP on defense needs. In letters exchanged on Sunday between NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte and Sanchez, Spain was granted the exemption (免除，豁免) and the language around the 5% spending target was adjusted (調整) to no longer include all 32 allies.

The Christian in the Cult: And How I Discovered Humanity in Christ by Jim Valekis Amazon.com Smilingicon.com Jim Valekis' The Christian in the Cult: And How I Discovered Humanity in Christ uses the author's life story to take us deep inside the culture of the Greek Orthodox Church, Herbert Armstrong's Worldwide Church of God, and modern Evangelicalism. After journeying through three versions of "the only true church," Valekis deftly invites his readers to join him in his ongoing discovery of humanity in Christ and what it can mean for the church and the world. Endorsement: Millions of religious believers will clearly recognize the spiritual journey narrated by Jim Valekis in this powerful story. A son of the Greek Orthodox Church finds himself in Herbert W. Armstrong's Worldwide Church of God, which eventually takes him into more traditional Christianity and out again. Where he ends up at the end of this fascinating pilgrimage will be a big surprise. But Valekis astutely narrates his journey and brings readers along with him to a spiritual destination that includes the whole world. In a religious and political landscape that has become a culture war of all against all, Valekis's final message of oneness and wholeness in Christ is a welcome antidote.─Andrew Manis, Emeritus Professor of History Middle Georgia State University, Macon, Georgia In your hands is a book that speaks powerfully to both the complexities of living and growing in the Church, and to the way God moves in our individual lives as believers. Through the story of author Jim Valekis, we see a riveting faith testimony passed from one generation of family to another -- across cultures, continents, and denominations. We experience through Jim's journey how our Christian faith can ground us and cover us spiritually, despite a fallen world, broken relationships, and vocational volatility. Jim reminds us that while our conditions and surroundings rise and fall, our steadfast relationship with Christ is All. I commend this book to you. ─Chuck Proudfit, President At Work On Purpose About the Author: Jim Valekis was born in Alabama with a "bouzouki" on his knee. His Greco-American parents raised their family as part of a thriving Greek Orthodox community in Birmingham. As a teenager captivated by the radio teachings of Herbert W. Armstrong, Valekis defied his roots and eventually followed a call to pastor in the Worldwide Church of God. When the former cult transitioned into Evangelicalism, Jim followed, continuing to pastor in Grace Communion International. Most recently Valekis co-founded the vision for the Tipp Center, a faith-based business and resource hub, where he is the chaplain. Jim holds a master's degree in Biblical Studies from Earlham School of Religion. He enjoys hanging out with his wife Becky, biking, painting, and sharing (especially over Greek comfort food) how his new theological understanding connects back in profound ways with the ancient Trinitarian fabric of his Orthodox upbringing, a relational Christ-centered fabric expansive enough to include every human being.

Kathimerini just ran a piece highlighting the efforts of teachers and community schools in keeping Greek education alive in Turkey. These schools are central to the Greek community in Istanbul, a community that once had a significant presence but has dwindled to roughly 2,000 individuals over the last century as a result of government policies, persecution, and a pogrom in the 1950s. Dr. Ilay Romain Ors, a social anthropologist whose work has largely focused on the Greek Orthodox community of Istanbul, joins Thanos Davelis as we take a closer look at this historic community and the challenges it faces today.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Keeping the Greek education flame alive in TurkeyRemembering forced migrations: The 1964 expulsion of Greeks from IstanbulFormer Byzantine churches are being converted to mosques – this threatens Istanbul's cosmopolitan identityMitsotakis outlines four key priorities ahead of 2027 electionsTurkey challenges Greek maritime zones with UNESCO map submission

In this episode of Catholic Answers Live, we explore a fascinating Gospel mystery: When Jesus began His public ministry, did anyone recognize Him as the same child who once astonished the elders in the Temple? We dig into Scripture and tradition to consider whether that moment left a lasting impression—and why the Gospels remain silent on this point.

Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 02:45 – I hope this email finds you well. I'm a longtime admirer of your work in Catholic apologetics and your thoughtful approach to complex questions. I have a hypothetical theological question inspired by the movie Groundhog Day that I'd love to hear your perspective on. In the film, Phil Connors is trapped in a time loop, reliving February 2nd repeatedly, with only his memory carrying over each day. From a Catholic perspective, if someone in a real-life time loop committed sins during earlier iterations of the loop, but then they broke the cycle, waking up on February 3rd, would they need to confess the sins from the previous loops? Since the loop resets the world and only the person remembers their actions, do those sins carry moral or sacramental weight after the loop ends? 12:18 – Hi, I am a mega fan of Jimmy Akin’s Mysterious World, I am fourteen and I have a weird question for you. First, in Lord of the Rings, how culpable are people for mortal sin when they wear the One Ring? I am asking because it is possible to ignore the temptation of the Ring. 20:20 – My second question is does the Holy Spirit guide other sects of the Catholic church such as Greek Orthodox or the Coptic? Keep the great work up, and it would make my day if you answer my questions on weird questions with Jimmy Akin. 22:28 – Is the website created by soon to be canonized Bl. Carlos Acutis a relic? For that matter, are the writings of Saints, whether in written or digital form, relics? 28:45 – Studies show that everyone likely has at least one doppelgänger. Could it be when we make life altering decisions, that a doppelgänger is actually split from us and onto a separate timeline? Like, for example, what if a doppelgänger of me actually stayed with that guy I dated and is now living the life I would have led had I not dumped him? 35:15 – Everyone seems to believe aliens, if they exist, must be strange and non-human like. But, isn't it possible that life on another earth like planet could mirror ours? And, if so, what if the mysterious Man from Taured was actually an alien human from another earth like planet? 46:30 – Could Melchizedek have been a Zoroastrian?

A recent court ruling in Egypt has sounded alarm bells in Athens and around the world as it seems to put the status of St. Catherine's monastery in Sinai, a UNESCO world heritage site, at risk. This has prompted reactions at the highest levels, with Prime Minister Mitsotakis speaking with his Egyptian counterpart and emphasizing the importance of safeguarding the monastery's status as a Greek Orthodox place of pilgrimage. Dr. Elizabeth Prodromou joins Thanos Davelis as we break down what's at stake for St. Catherine's monastery and why it matters as we look at the broader state of international religious freedom in the region.Dr. Prodromou is a former Vice Chair and Commissioner on the US Commission on International Religious Freedom, visiting professor in the International Studies Program at Boston College, and was a member of the US Secretary of State's Religion & Foreign Policy Working Group.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Sisi reaffirms Egypt's commitment to status of Sinai monastery in call with MitsotakisHistoric Sinai settlement never signedA bolt out of the blue on Mt SinaiTurkish authorities order detention of dozens of opposition officials in widening crackdownTurkey arrests dozens including opposition party membersGas to flow from Greece to Slovakia, Ukraine

Reverend Father Emmanuel Lemelson is a force of nature—a Greek Orthodox priest, activist investor, and social commentator who fearlessly confronts the collision of faith, finance, and power. In this episode, we get into a discussion on the issue of Papal infallibility and the structures of power within the Catholic Church. It has led to many coverups and abuses throughout the decades. Fr. Emmanuel has also been brave enough to challenge another source of corrupt power: the United States Federal Government and big pharma. He tells his wild tales of this ongoing battle, how it started, and where he's at with it now. For more from Fr.

My guest this week is author of "The Athos Diet" and director of the emergency department at UPMC, Dr. Peter Patitsas. Informed by his Greek Orthodox heritage, he has discovered a method to stay healthy with high energy to meet the daily grind. Dr. Pete visited Greece many times as a youth and lived there after graduating college. He was forever impacted by his journey to Mt. Athos and has spent countless weeks living at monasteries across the globe: a place where time stops and meaning is the highest good. It is no coincidence that within a place of the True, the Good, and the Beautiful, there would be found something that can bring a salve to suffering. We discuss the spiritual and physical benefits that the diet governed by the liturgical calendar of the Orthodox Church can give to us.

In the late sixteenth century, a German Lutheran scholar named Martin Crusius compiled an exceptionally rich record of Greek life under Ottoman rule. Although he never left his home in the university town of Tübingen, Crusius spent decades annotating books and manuscripts, corresponding with the Greek Orthodox Patriarch, and interviewing Greek Orthodox alms-seekers. Ultimately, he gathered his research into a seminal work called the Turcograecia, which served for centuries as Europe's foremost source on Ottoman Greece. Yet as Richard Calis reveals, Crusius's massive—and largely untapped—archive has much more to tell us about how early modern Europeans negotiated cultural and religious difference. In particular, Crusius's work illuminates Western European views of the religious “other” within Christianity: the Greek Orthodox Christians living under Ottoman rule, a group both familiar and foreign. Many Western Europeans, including Crusius, developed narratives of Greek cultural and religious decline under Ottoman rule. Crusius's records, however, reveal in exceptional detail how such stories developed. His interactions with his Greek Orthodox visitors, and with a vast network of correspondents, show that Greeks' own narratives of hardship entwined in complex ways with Western Europeans' orientalist views of the Ottoman world. They also reflect the religious tensions that undergirded these exchanges, fueled by Crusius's fervent desire to spread Lutheran belief across Ottoman Greece and the wider world. A lively intellectual history drawn from a forgotten archive, The Discovery of Ottoman Greece (Harvard UP, 2025) is also a perceptive character study, in which Crusius takes his place in the history of ethnography, Lutheran reform, and European philhellenism. Richard Calis is an Assistant Professor in Cultural History at Utrecht University, who specializes in the history of science and intellectual history Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

In particular, Crusius's work illuminates Western European views of the religious “other” within Christianity: the Greek Orthodox Christians living under Ottoman rule, a group both familiar and foreign. Many Western Europeans, including Crusius, developed narratives of Greek cultural and religious decline under Ottoman rule. Crusius's records, however, reveal in exceptional detail how such stories developed. His interactions with his Greek Orthodox visitors, and with a vast network of correspondents, show that Greeks' own narratives of hardship entwined in complex ways with Western Europeans' orientalist views of the Ottoman world. They also reflect the religious tensions that undergirded these exchanges, fueled by Crusius's fervent desire to spread Lutheran belief across Ottoman Greece and the wider world. A lively intellectual history drawn from a forgotten archive, The Discovery of Ottoman Greece (Harvard UP, 2025) is also a perceptive character study, in which Crusius takes his place in the history of ethnography, Lutheran reform, and European philhellenism.

In the late sixteenth century, a German Lutheran scholar named Martin Crusius compiled an exceptionally rich record of Greek life under Ottoman rule. Although he never left his home in the university town of Tübingen, Crusius spent decades annotating books and manuscripts, corresponding with the Greek Orthodox Patriarch, and interviewing Greek Orthodox alms-seekers.
