Reintroduction Podcast
Many people struggle in life due to false ideas about God, one another and the church. The truth of the nature of God, who we are and what our role in the world is, has been preserved in the life and teachings of the Orthodox Church. Unfortunately, due false ideologies and miscommunications about the nature of these subject matters, many struggle with coming to a knowledge of the truth. These ideas cause many to reject God and live in pain. Our hosts will discuss varying subject matters about the nature of God in hope to reintroduce God, man and Christianity from an Orthodox Christian perspective.
