Dave chats with Dr. Albert Rossi about how Orthodox Christian fathers and husbands can combat addiction by way of meditation. Dr. Rossi also shares his own experiences battling alcohol addiction and gives life lessons as a father and grandfather. This week's reading comes from the Wisdom of Sirach, chapters 4 and 5. Main topics include: caring for the poor and needy, shame and sin, and controlling your tongue (or watching what you say to others). Readings come from the Orthodox Study Bible, which you can find at https://amzn.to/3bZFBF6. 

Dave also references the previous Wisdom of Sirach reading (chapters 1 to 3) in episode #36 at https://bit.ly/DD-36. Got a question?
