Ep. 28: Staying Close to Christ in College (opens the original)
Read excerpt
College can be an incredible season of growth, but it can also bring new freedom, new friendships, new pressures, and new temptations. For many young adults, it may be the first time they have to truly choose for themselves what role their Orthodox faith will have in their lives. In this episode, I share practical ways to keep Christ at the center of your college years and beyond. And for the parents sending their children off to college, I share some encouragement on how to support their faith
Ep. 27: Redeemed: Saints Who Were Transformed by Christ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
No one is too far gone for Christ. In this episode, I look at the incredible stories of St. Paul, St. Mary of Egypt, St. Moses the Black, and St. Polydoros—four very different lives that remind us of the transforming power of repentance and redemption through Christ. Our past does not have to define our future. In Christ, we can become new. Whether we feel lost, unworthy, or far from God, the lives of the saints remind us that it is never too late to turn back to Him. Always remember to keep Chr
Ep. 26: Orthodoxy FAQs: Prayer Ropes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You’ve probably seen an Orthodox Christian wearing a prayer rope. But what is it actually for, and how are we supposed to use one?

Ep. 25: Are You Making Time for God? (opens the original)
Read excerpt

We attend Divine Liturgy, and then what? In this episode, I share practical ways to keep Christ at the center of our lives every day. But I'm certainly not speaking as someone who has this all figured out. I'm walking this path right alongside you. I talk about some of the practices I'm trying to be mor
Ep. 24: Keeping Christ at the Center as Working Parents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Between work, raising children, keeping up with the home, and everything else that fills our days, how do we make sure Christ doesn't get pushed to the side? In this episode, my husband Polydoros joins me to answer a listener question about balancing work, family, and our Orthodox Christian faith. We certainly don’t have it all figured out, and we’re learning each and every day. But together, we share honestly about what we’re trying to do in our own family to keep Christ at the center while nav
