Speaker: Dc. Irenaios Anderson
Topic: What are Three Youths Ready to Die for?
In the Old Testament account of the three youths in the furnace we see some of the first examples of those who were willing to die for the Lord, as well as a God who descends to deliver his people. Friend-of-the-show Dc. Irenaios Anderson is back to talk about our Orthodox interpretation of this important story. The Good Samaritan is one of Christ’s most famous parables, but how much have we reflected on it? Dr. Bruce Beck of the Pappas Patristics Institute explores the historical context and interpretations of the Holy Fathers.

Demetri Tonias of Holy Archangels Greek Orthodox Church in Watertown, MA, to help us all gear up for Great and Holy Lent.

Speaker: Kh. Maggie Hock
Topic: Amending the Dream - Expectations and Marriage

She helps us look at our assumptions about marriage and the challenges they often lead to. But first, when should we start teaching our kids about the Bible? Fr. John Peck gives practical examples about how to make scriptural learning fun for the whole family.
