We're on TOMORROW. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWMu3KcsbIE

So, you probably don't know the true story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHw7ByQHpgE

This episode had been canceled due to the storms in Indiana, but WE ARE BACK ON SCHEDULE! See you tonight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gboyFJEFQsY

Big storms ripped through northwestern Indiana yesterday, knocking out power for a huge number of people in that region. As you may know, this includes the headquarters and primary studio of Ancient Faith Ministries. The warehouse that we contract with to ship our books and such is also in this area. The local power company is estimating it may take 5-7 days before power is restored everywhere. The majority of AFM staff lives and works in other states, but with some of our core sites down for now, that means that a lot of our work cannot be sent to you right now. As such, please be patient if your favorite podcasts, live shows, books, etc., don't get to you as normally scheduled.

Episode 2 is released! WATCH: https://youtu.be/pckO1DB1zu4 The pilgrims of the Raven and the Dove make their way to the Holy Island of Iona, the ancient heart of Celtic Christianity in Britain. There, they walk the grounds where St. Columba built his monastery on the edge of the world, and tell the story of the Irish prince whose pride cost three thousand lives -- and whose repentance built a church that would illumine the north for generations. “The Raven and the Dove” is a pilgrimage tale spanning Scotland and Northumbria, told by four friends who went in search of the holy people and places on the northern border between the Celtic and the English. #TheRavenandtheDove #CelticChristianity #Scotland #Iona

WHY ARE THOUSANDS CONVERTING TO ORTHODOX CHRISTIANITY RIGHT NOW? WATCH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bvl5M3K_88 In this interview, Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick shares why the Orthodox Church is experiencing a remarkable surge of converts and what modern people are searching for that they aren't finding anywhere else. Drawing from his own conversion story, years of pastoral ministry, and the life of the Church, Fr. Andrew explains why so many people are discovering the depth, beauty, and truth of Orthodox Christianity. Whether you're simply curious about Orthodoxy, attending church for the first time, a catechumen, or a lifelong Orthodox Christian, this conversation offers practical wisdom for pursuing Christ with humility, patience, and hope. #OrthodoxConvertSurge #OrthodoxChristianity #conversion #EasternOrthodoxy #OrthodoxChurch

After our recent pilgrimages in Scotland and Ireland, Dcn. Seraphim and I were happy to see some friends on the wall in Tennessee.

It's a blessing to be at St. Ignatius Antiochian Orthodox Church in Franklin, Tennessee, this weekend to talk about dragons and saints!

I stopped in at the Antiochian Village bookstore today, and Tamalyn asked me to hold my books.
