What God is Not episodes:

October 11, 2023 Garments of Skin
This week Fr. Michael talks about the parable of the wedding banquet found in Matthew, another scripture passage that has confused both him and Mother Natalia. We talk about inspiration we've had from the passage, linking it back to the Garden of Eden and Adam and Eve's nakedness. We talk about our need to give up our attachments in order to accept the glorious garment given to us at the resurrection.

Plus we've got a mini-topic from a Patron. Thanks to everyone who supports us on Patreon!

This week we're joined by special guest Rachel Schmitt who is our Operations Manager. Rachel and Mother Natalia talk about saying yes in generosity and no in prudence when we're asked to do something. They talk about aligning your will with the Father's so you can know if your yes or no is the right decision, and they give some practical examples of this in action.

Bonus, Rachel's infant daughter joins us on this episode too!
