What does it truly mean to be an excellent Christian?

In this season finale of the Raised & Redeemed podcast we reach the summit of the Christian life by exploring Steps 26–30 of Thirty Steps to Heaven by Fr. Vassilios Papavassiliou—based on the timeless Orthodox classic The Ladder of Divine Ascent by St. John Climacus.

In this episode, we dive deep into the virtues that crown a life in Christ:

🧭 Discernment

🌿 Stillness

🙏 Prayer

🔥 Dispassion

💫 Faith, Hope, and Love

This isn’t about striving for perfection or appearing “religious.” It’s about surrendering fully to God’s will and becoming so filled with His love that your life itself becomes a witness—without even saying a word.

Growing in Alertness to the Holy Spirit - Awakening the Numb Soul

Have you ever caught yourself praying but not really praying? Going through the motions of faith while feeling spiritually numb? You're not alone. In this powerful episode, we explore how to move from spiritual insensitivity to genuine alertness to God's presence.

Step 19: When sleep becomes escape from spiritual reality

Step 20: Cultivating true spiritual alertness and sobriety

How do you overcome anger as a Christian? Or the passions like malice and slander that flow from it? In order to overcome it, we have to get to its root: our hearts.

In this episode, we dive into Steps 8–12 of Thirty Steps to Heaven by Fr. Vassilios Papavassiliou, based on The Ladder of Divine Ascent by St. John Climacus. These steps focus on the spiritual passions that flow from pride and poison our relationships:

🤐 Meekness & Loss of Anger

🤐 Remembrance of Wrongs & Malice

🤐 Slander

🤐 Talkativeness & Silence

🤐 Falsehood

The desert fathers saw these not as minor flaws, but as powerful passions that choke out love and disrupt communion with God and others.

Join us as we uncover the path from inner chaos to spiritual peace, learning how to tame the tongue, purify the heart, and walk more freely in Christ’s love.
