Fr. Daniel explains that in this time of the great lent, we need to focus on the one true thing that matters – our relationship with God. When we rightly focus on Christ, we’re able to stop worrying about the little things – our hunger, our circumstances, our troubles. When we keep our eyes on seeking Christ, we entrust Him with our day-to-day needs and He provides everything we need. Tune in to hear more.

In the Q/A portion, Fr. Joseph answers questions about the Christian position to legislate policies for equality, the controversy behind the Black Lives Matter movement, and the dangers of the media’s tendency to distort truth and inflate racial tension.

Each one of us is created in the image of God. We share the same human nature and the same Heavenly Father, yet much in the world opposes that fundamental truth. We must strive for justice and equality, but with all the racial and sociopolitical tension, there is constant pressure to reduce each person to a group identity, which further divides us. 

So how exactly can we work to restore our Christian unity and recognize our unique identity in Christ across different races and cultures? This is a critical question that Fr. Joseph addresses in this podcast, with session 1 focusing on the dangers of the mainstream social justice movement which is centered in the harmful ideologies of critical race theory, cultural marxism, and ethnocentricity; and session 2 focusing on practical ways we can restore unity in the body of Christ and the dignity of our personhood through a spirit of understanding and empathy toward one another.

Fr. Joseph explains that as we partake of the bread of life in the holy communion, we get to experience an intimacy with Christ like no other. And for that reason, we must acknowledge that as we partake of the Eucharist, we are exchanging our sinful life for His divinity. And with this, we are able to be more Christ-like.

Fr. Cyril explains that Christ performed the mandatory offering by shedding His blood and dying for our sins on the cross. In our worship it’s important that we also participate in the mandatory offering, which in our case is our repentance of our sins. He goes on to explain both the voluntary and mandatory offerings to guide us in our path of worship. Tune in to hear more.

Fr. Joseph explains that when we are tried, we must first remember God's almighty power and our own weakness. With this in mind, we will stop relying on our own abilities and will have stronger faith that He will see us through any trial or tribulation that we endure. Tune in for more.
