The Soul After Death Lecture Series
What does the Orthodox Church teach about the soul and what happens to us after we die? How do we confront death and keep it before our eyes in order for us to lead a deep Christian life? In this lecture series, we tackle some of these questions along with many others. Death is a timely topic in a modern world plagued by the fear of it. As Christians, we are called to be ready to confront death at any moment, and the travesty that has been thrust upon us gives us more of an opportunity to live mindful of this great mystery.

Resources for Holy Week and Pascha Celebrated at Home
Introduction Beloved, this year we are called to celebrate Holy Week and Pascha in a very different way, set apart from any year we have experienced. We are to be at home, with our loved ones, away from the corporate prayer we long for, and witness the resurrection from our home altars. There is a joyful sorrow hidden in all of this that I hope will bring us edification and mend parts of our spiritual lives that perhaps we have neglected. In a way, we are forced into a very beautiful position if we look at this time with humility. Our Lord voluntarily suffered this week alone. His life-giving Passion began…

Awakening the Heart: Lectures on Confession
During the Divine Liturgy, the priest exclaims “Holy Things are for the holy.” Repentance is a call back to holiness. It is “man’s return to God […] the transformation of the mind from the darkness of sin into the light of Christ” (Hieromonk Gregorios, Repentance and Confession). In this lecture series we will discuss the living a life of repentance, practical tools for the spiritual life, and ultimately what the sacrament of Holy Confession means for our lives. If you you were born Orthodox, converted, or don’t know anything about Orthodoxy at all, please come learn, ask questions, and join in fellowship. These lectures will take place on Wednesday evenings…
