Loving your enemies with Arthur Brooks
This past Sunday I listened to Arthur Brooks on Ben Shapiro’s show talking about loving our enemies. I’ve since subscribed to his podcast and Twitter. Well worth a listen…

Eastern Spirituality in the modern World
“GROWING IN THE LIKENESS OF GOD: EASTERN SPIRITUALITY IN THE MODERN WORLD”
EASTERN CHRISTIAN CONFERENCE – SHARED INHERITANCE!
May 17-18th
St. Demetrios Hall, Seattle, WA
FR STEPHEN FREEMAN (Archpriest, Author, Speaker)
Image to Image: The Dynamics of Salvation
Created in the image of God, we move towards the image of God. Making sense of the dynamics of this movement is the heart of our tradition. Where have we come from? Where are we going?
The Modern Challenge
There are unique problems within modern culture for the Eastern Christian tradition. Thinking through those problems creates a deeper understanding of the task of our faith.
JONATHAN PAGEAU (Artist, Author, Speaker)
Rediscovering the Anthropology of Hesychasm
Today Beyond a coherent Christian mysticism, the Hesychastic tradition also offers a general anthropology, a vision and hierarchy of the human person which can give us a way to live in the world today.
Sacred Art as the Only Hope for Reviving Culture
As we see the general degradation of cultural forms in Western culture, it is only a refocusing on the highest form of art which will bring us back from the Chasm.
FR DEACON DANIEL DOZIER (Deacon, Writer, Speaker)
– Image & Likeness: Developing a Biblical Worldview
Genesis 1:26-27 contains the phrase “image and likeness” in reference to God’s creation of humanity. This talk will explore the biblical and contextual meaning of this phrase and its implications for an authentic Christian spiritual life. We’ll examine both the narrative and cultural context of Genesis and what these together actually communicate about our nature and potential as human persons in our relationship with God, humanity and creation.
This will be a Fantastic opportunity to gather with fellow Christians and great speakers to be enriched by the great gift of Eastern Christian Spirituality and how it offers answers to the challenges of modernity. This conference is not academic in focus. It is our sincere hope this event will assist all Christians seeking to deepen their spiritual life to grow in the Image and Likeness of God!

TEA: Life in Christ, not just improvement, but transformation
In this episode of “Theology With An English Accent” (TEA) is the first of a few talks I’m giving this Lent at St. Ignatius in Los Angeles. This is a longer version of the talk I gave the previous week in Dodge City which was called “What is the point of Christianity?”. The first 20 minutes is basically identical, after which I get into new material.

Wise Words On Wednesday: Closed and open doors
“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.”

About a month ago I posted my first Micah Tyler song here on Music Mondays. Here’s another, Different:
I don’t wanna hear anymore, teach me to listen
I don’t wanna see anymore, give me a vision
That you could move this heart, to be set apart
I don’t need to recognize, the man in the mirror
And I don’t wanna trade Your plan, for something familiar
I can’t waste a day, I can’t stay the same
I wanna be different
I wanna be changed
‘Til all of me is gone
And all that remains
Is a fire so bright
The whole world can see
That there’s something different
So come and be different
In me
And I dont wanna spend my life, stuck in a pattern
And I don’t wanna gain this world but lose what matters
And so I’m giving up, everything because…
I know, that I am far, from perfect
But through You, the cross still says, I’m worth it
So take this beating in my heart and
Come and finish what You started
When they see me, let them see You
‘Cause I just wanna be different, ye-ey
