In this week's episode we begin a new topic surrounding the topic of humility. Humility is vital to our spiritual growth and we will learn about this topic through the teachings of St. Silouan the Athonite and other church fathers. The church fathers teach us that humility is the chief amongst virtues, and therefore requires a dedicated focus.

 How is humility viewed in our society? Is humility valued? Why does humility stand out amongst the other virtues of the faith? How does humility combat pride? We will be discussing many questions around humility and its importance in our spiritual lives. 

In this weeks episode we continue to talk about suffering by introducing the topic of courage and forgiveness. How important is forgiveness in the struggle against suffering? Do we have the courage to face our suffering? How can we use our suffering for our spiritual growth if we don't face it head on with Christ? We also talk about how important it is to have courage and confidence in Christ to help us through our suffering, not in ourselves alone.

We continue our conversation around suffering and spiritual struggle this week by taking a look at the purpose of human life. What part does suffering play in the battle between humility and pride? How do we suffer with Christ as opposed to by ourselves? How do we open our hearts to growing spiritually through our struggles?
