Hold up, did someone say we become GOD?? If you're like me, the first time you heard this, you were a bit concerned. As an evangelical, the concept of theosis can seem more than a bit foreign. In this video with Orthodox apologist Jay Dyer, we talk about what theosis is (and isn't) and in doing so we explore differences between Eastern and Western approaches to theology. The conversation includes discussion of the essence-energies distinction, monasticism, ways in which Protestants and Orthodox are similar (and different) and much more. I hope you enjoy it!
