On Theologically Thinking, Fr. Athanasios Haros from the Transfiguration Church in Florence, SC shares a message entitled “Be Bold for JESUS!” When Jesus works His wonders, it deserves a bold response. After being healed the Paralytic never faltered in his boldness to confess Jesus as the one who healed him. In the face of the Sanhedrin the Apostles Peter and John never faltered in their boldness to confess Jesus. Are you ready to be bold for Jesus?
On Theologically Thinking, Fr. Athanasios Haros from the Transfiguration Church in Florence, SC tells us that it requires courage and devotion to grow the church. In response to the Good News of Christ’s glorious resurrection Joseph of Arimathea and the Myrrh-Bearing Women displayed great courage and determination in the face of fear. The early Church, faced with a growing Church with administrative challenges, displayed courage and determination to continue the evangelistic ministry of the Church. Now it’s our turn to show courage and determination to grow the Church, in our own hearts and parishes.
On Theologically Thinking, during the first days of Pascha, the Apostles were overcome with fear and doubt. But when the Risen Christ appeared to them in the room, He gave them His peace. The peace of God is that inner quietness and stillness that washes away our fear so that faith can rule our hearts. That faith in the Risen Christ leads us to accomplish wonders for the glory of God and His Church. The Apostles “HAD” fear until they allowed Christ’s peace to enter their hearts. Now it’s our turn to welcome and embrace Christ’s peace in our hearts. Now it’s our turn to do wonders and bring multitudes to Him so they can find peace.
On Theologically Thinking, tune in to hear a “Words by Fr. Stanley Harakas” episode entitled “Seven Ways to Experience the Resurrection.”
On Theologically Thinking, Fr. Frank Marangos share his message, “The Heroism of Sacrifice.” Holy Week commemorates the sacrificial passion of Jesus Christ. His crucifixion marks a historical occurrence that, arguably, has had a greater enduring impact on humanity than any other religious deed. What gives sacrifice such influential power? And what does it mean to be a leader who is willing to sacrifice his/her own needs and desires for the benefit of his/her constituents and for the greater good of humanity. Click 
On Theologically Thinking, Fr. Thomas Hopko explains why Christ had to die on the Cross.
On Theologically Thinking, Fr. Athanasios Haros of the Transfiguration Church in Florence, SC will speak on “The Feast of Annunciation; A Celebration for All Humanity.” When the Archangel Gabriel brought the Good News of the coming of God into the world, the war for our independence from death and the bondage of Hades was initiated. When the Greeks, feeling the pressure of oppression from the Ottoman Empire, found the courage to stand up to their oppressors, there was no more fitting date than March 25th, the Feast of Annunciation, to symbolize their fight for freedom. Today is our chance to declare freedom from the oppression of the devil and all his demons. Today is our chance to stand up to evil and fight for the truth of God. Today is the crown of our salvation.
On Theologically Thinking, columnist Terry Mattingly talks with Fr. Chris Metropulos about his column, “Cliff Notes for Confession.”
On Theologically Thinking, Fr. Athanasios Haros of the Transfiguration Church in Florence, SC will speak on "What are you willing to do to be in the presence of God?" When Jesus was teaching in Capernaum, He was met by four friends who brought to Him a man needing healing. Jesus first said, “Son, your sins are forgiven,” establishing a priority for us to get good with the Lord for the sake of our immortal souls. Paralysis was keeping this young man from Christ. What is keeping you from His presence?
On Theologically Thinking, Fr. Michael Oleksa speaks with Fr. Christopher Metropulos about “Great Lent: Reaffirming our Commitment to Christ and our Baptism.”
On Theologically Thinking, Fr. Athanasios Haros of the Transfiguration Church in Florence, SC talks to us about “Game Day.” With the beginning of Great Lent, our pre-Lenten preparations are behind us. We have made our plan of action and now we begin the race to Holy Week and Pascha. The Church offers us a few finals words of encouragement and guidance as we take the field for game day. With spiritual events of the prayer, fasting and alms giving in the Eucharist we will endure the race and be crowned victorious by our Lord but it all begins with forgiveness.
