I searched this but a lot of the recommendations just drop the name of the podcast without context, and as someone with a very young baby it would take a lot of time to sort through it!

Hi! I'm a seeker who has spammed this sub a couple times already (sorry!) I am currently taking shifts with my lovely wife caring for our fussy less-than-one-week-old while also dealing with a fussy almost-fourteen-month-old. Audio has been my lifeline during this time.

The podcasts I've listened to and enjoyed are all Orthodox and in the Ancient Faith style: Lord of Spirits, The Areopagus, Full Counsel of God. I'm curious if there's any podcasts that y'all could recommend me from an Episcopal or Anglican background that scratch the same kind of itch as any of these topics: evangelical deconstruction, heavy history-informed Bible study, and topics like saints, angels, ancient paganism as it relates to God, and Tradition. I'd love recommendations and will try to give a listen to anything recommended.

Thanks a bundle!

I visited a small town TEC parish for the first time today, and while it was a wonderful and uplifting experience, I was a little disheartened that I was the only person under the age of 30 there, and my 13 month old was the only child in the parish. This made us immediately popular, of course, but if I was to consider it a long term home it would be challenging to be the only young family in a parish full of what were probably retirees.

The parish I’m visiting from is Eastern Orthodox, and it‘s overflowing with littles and young families so I suppose I am slightly spoiled by my experience there.

Is it probable that I was in an unusual parish? Or are these demographics super common? While they wouldn’t necessarily completely discourage my inquiry, it would be a hurdle to leap for me and my family.

Hi there.

I‘m an Orthodox Christian who is struggling with my tradition’s view on same-sex filial relationships and transgender rights, especially considering my own direct experiences with a sister who is currently dating a woman and my own repressed… bisexuality? Hetero-leaning bisexuality? Still interrogating that one lol

One thing that consistently makes Orthodoxy strong is its strong traditional consensus and unchangedness, but I’m really grateful for To Set Our Hope On Christ for exploring Scripture and Tradition through a more affirming lens. The harder part for me to consider is the frequency of miracles in the Orthodox tradition - my own rather unassuming parish has itself a myrrh-streaming relic that I can 100% verify is real (though I don’t expect anyone else to believe me!)

I suppose I’m asking about the existence of miracles and God’s grace in the Episcopal/Anglican world. Despite my current wrestling with views on same sex love and trans rights, I still consider myself very theologically conservative and very “mystical” in a sense - I’d love to live in a world where that mysticality could coexist with a more inclusive worldview about those truly on the fringes.

Thanks in advance!
