Being a "Living Icon", Loving One Another, Becoming a New Creation. W/ Fr John Vlahos Season 2 Ep 1  

Welcome to Season 2 of my show!  

You can find the link to my other podcast "Faithfully Feminine" on my website; https://www.adevotionalheart.com  

*Please forgive me; in the interview I said that Father John has a website, but I meant he has a bi-weekly program that can be accessed on this website (Orthodox Christian Network): https://myocn.net/living-icon-series-with-fr-john-vlahos/ "Life is all about relationships. Our relationship with God, and our relationships with our families, friends, enemies, and everyone in between. LIVING ICON is a bi-weekly program with Fr. John Vlahos that addresses our everyday challenges and opportunities of living in relationship with our neighbors. These broadcasts aim at offering practical and theological solutions for developing into spiritually healthy and mature Christians. The well-known saying goes, “In seeking a relationship, you have to find the right person.” The hope is that LIVING ICON will help you realize that it is not about finding the right person, as much as it is about you becoming the right person!"

My guest is Orthodox Christian Wife and Mom, Jillian Hughes.  She recently became a Chrismated Orthodox Christian and posts about motherhood and homemaking on her IG account: @MrsJillianHuges.  She was raised Roman Catholic and later NonDenominational and Methodist until her husband led her to Orthodoxy.

In this fun discussion, we talk about what it's like to deprogram from feminist ideology and settle into staying at home, which she has chosen to do after years of being a working woman.  We talk about submission to our husbands and Proverbs 31 v 10-31!
