Cynthia brings Ashley Belanger on today to talk about her experience with Lyme, knowing that this topic could very well help many others who experience “unexplained symptoms.”  After recently finding out she has Lyme and Bartonella, a whole new world has opened up about the disparate symptoms going on for years that she had no idea were related. How do you get to root causes?  What are some common diagnoses out there where bacterial and viral infections should be tested for… if only to be ruled out as root cause?  (Think MS, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, Parkinsons, Rheumatoid Arthritis) We answer these questions today!

Ashley Belanger's health journey led her to leave teaching to become a certified Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP). As a root cause practitioner, she likes to look deeper at what could be causing symptoms or what caused a diagnosis. A diagnosis is a label. It does not tell you all the factors that caused you to get sick. She is passionate about helping others take control of their health and learning to advocate for themselves.  During 6 years of teaching, she became very ill.  It started as lingering symptoms that doctors were unable to explain, telling her it was only stress or that it was in her head. At one point, she didn't know her own name or birth date.  It took 6 years of actively seeking answers to get a diagnosis of Lyme disease and many other coinfections. During that time of seeking answers, she began to look at her toxin burden load & how that impacted her body. She later had two different Lyme Literate Doctors tell her that doing so kept her from being completely bedridden and in a wheelchair. Read more about her Lyme journey here.

Today Cynthia features an interview from My Beautiful Lent 2019 with Frederica Mathewes-Green.  They cover a lot of ground, from Frederica’s conversion to Orthodoxy, the services of the church during Lent, and specifically Forgiveness Vespers.  Join them as they talk about a yearning for Christ, and sin as something that pollutes the whole world. Raised in Charleston, South Carolina, Frederica Mathewes-Green received her B.A. in English from the University of South Carolina and her M.A. in Theological Studies from Virginia Episcopal Theological Seminary. Considering herself a Hindu, in 1974 she married Gary Mathewes-Green and set off for a back-packing honeymoon in Europe.

This week we are featuring an interview from My Beautiful Lent 2019 with Father Barnabas Powell.  Cynthia and Fr. Barnabas talk about his journey from Pentecostal Pastor to Orthodox Christian, and why so many Christians still seem to be searching and are hungry for intimacy with God.  Specific questions are answered about Lent, and as always, Fr. Barnabas is encouraging and inspiring! Fr. Barnabas Powell was born and raised in Atlanta, GA. His journey to Orthodoxy came as a result of many years searching for a "lifestyle" that would be truly Christian. After years in Evangelical Protestant ministry and serving in Christian media, both radio and television, he launched Faith Encouraged Ministries to use what he learned in sharing faith through media for the Orthodox Faith. Fr. Barnabas is an author, pastor, podcaster, and teacher committed to offering a credible witness of the timeless Orthodox faith for this culture. His daily devotional - Faith Encouraged Daily - reaches over 5000 people a week. His weekly homilies - Faith Encouraged - have been watched over 150,000 times on You Tube. And his twice a month live call in show - Faith Encouraged LIVE - is one of the most popular shows on Ancient Faith Radio.

Gluttony, sloth, dejection, pride… these are just some of the vices that can hijack our thoughts and poison our souls. On this week’s podcast, Cynthia speaks with Fr. Joseph Longofono, Ph.D. about ways to heal and overcome our negative thoughts using tools from from the toolboxes of both mental health professionals and the Church Fathers. Father Joseph Longofono is both a priest and a licensed clinical psychologist who currently serves as pastor of Saints Peter and Paul Antiochian Orthodox Church in Topeka, Kansas.  Fr Joseph holds a B.S. in Psychology from Trinity College (1979) and an M.A. and Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Case Western Reserve University (1983, 1985).  Following a year at St Raphael Hospital, New Haven, Ct, Fr Joseph was commissioned in the US Air Force, where he spent 22 years, half on active duty and half as a reservist.  His duties as a clinical psychologist included testing, psychotherapy, crisis intervention, security clearance determinations, consultation with military commanders, child advocacy, clinical supervision and health psychology (e.g., tobacco cessation, sleep hygiene, and anger and stress management). He retired in 2009 with the rank of Colonel.    While stationed in Greece in the late 1980s, Fr Joseph was fascinated by Orthodoxy, and strove to learn more about the ancient Christian faith.  He was received into the Orthodox Church in 1991.  After he resigned his active duty commission in 1994, he received a blessing to attend seminary from Metropolitan Philip of the Antiochian Archdiocese.  Fr Joseph attended Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology, from which he graduated in 1997.  After his ordination to the priesthood in 1996, he served parishes in the Antiochian Archdiocese while working also as a reservist psychologist.      Fr Joseph’s life took an unexpected turn in late 2001, when he was involuntarily returned to active duty for one year after the 9/11 bombings.  He temporarily left his parish in Danbury, CT to serve his country again on a full time basis, and was stationed in Washington, D.C., at Bolling Air Force Base.  His duties there included those mentioned above, as well as counseling military members and family members affected by the Pentagon bombing. In November of 2002, Fr Joseph returned to full time parish ministry, while continuing to serve as a reservist psychologist until his retirement from the military.  He has also held part time positions as a psychologist in the civilian world.   Fr Joseph has brought together the fruits of his training and experience in psychology and theology to give retreats and lectures to both Orthodox and Catholic audiences.  He also has explored the connection between military life and Orthodox Christianity, especially as it pertains to Orthodox military saints.  He is very much interested in investigating the connections between the healing of minds as practiced by mental health professionals, and the healing of souls as is seen in patristic literature and the lives of the church fathers.  He recently completed an interview with Cynthia Damaskos on the My Beautiful Lent website regarding examination of thoughts from the cognitive and patristic perspectives.    Is it time to make some changes in your life?
