Walking an Ancient Path

Issues in our own hearts can make it difficult to enter fully into the Orthodox worship experience. Lynnette identifies four common struggles among newcomers to the Faith (as well as old-timers): confusion with the unfamiliar, intellectual understanding versus real-life parish experience, the effect of “palate training” on our expectations of worship, and our need for inner healing.

Sometimes the major obstacle to becoming Orthodox isn’t theological at all—it’s the worship service itself. In this episode, we consider the question, “Why is Orthodox worship so formal?” and examine the ancient understanding of worship as a journey into the Kingdom of God.
