In my investigation of Orthodoxy, I've received varied answers to this question, and in this video I talk with Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick about this question as well as the larger question, why be Orthodox? Fr. Andrew shares his thoughts on Protestants, Catholics, as well as opening up about some of the challenges facing Orthodoxy. We even get into the hot topic issue of internet orthodoxy. Enjoy!Fr.

For 10% off your first month, use the link, http://www.faithfulcounseling.com/gospelsimplicityJulian of Norwich is admired by theologians, feminists, historians, and everyone in between. She's a figure that's hard to pin down and whose influence can be seen from bumper stickers to Ph.D. dissertations. In this interview, Veronica Mary Rolf explains how Julian is both the most and least well-known Medieval woman. In doing so, she brings the theology and life of Julian of Norwich alive, revealing her to be much more than her famous saying (which isn't even really her's) "all shall be well." In this interview, we explore several of Julian's mystical revelations which cover topics from the trinity to the motherhood of Jesus. Veronica Mary Rolf:https://www.veronicamaryrolf.com/Buy her book: https://amzn.to/3lrkXoVSupport Gospel Simplicity:Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/gospelsimplicity​One Time Donation: https://www.paypal.me/gospelsimplicityMerch: https://gospelsimplicity.creator-springAustin and Eliza's Wedding Registry:http://www.zola.com/registry/elizaandaustin2022We in no way expect you all to get us anything, but the generosity of this community always exceeds my expectations, so if you'd like to support us as we start our life together, you're welcome to look at this list. Support the show

After investigating church history, David went on a long journey from his Bible church, through the Anglican Church, and eventually into Anabaptist churches. While many studies of Church History focus on theology, Bercot has spent his career focusing on the lifestyle of the Early Church, and I think you'll find this perspective really interesting. Check out David Bercot's Work:https://www.scrollpublishing.comhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC12uJsCgkmvHgbxnaaXN8ewSupport Gospel Simplicity:Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/gospelsimplicity​One Time Donation: https://www.paypal.me/gospelsimplicityMerch: https://gospelsimplicity.creator-springFollow Gospel Simplicity on Social Media:Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/gospelsimplicityInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/gospelsimplicityTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/gsplsimplicity​Support the show

The problem, we struggle to get clarity on what exactly that means and would look like in real life. Something that exacerbates this problem is that many of us are unfamiliar with Second Temple Judaism; that is, we don't know much about the world from which the Early Church emerged. In this video, I sit down with the Reverend Dr. Stephen De Young to discuss his new book, The Religion of the Apostles, and explore the world of Second Temple Judaism, the Early Church, and why he thinks that Orthodox Christianity represents the fullness of the Christian faith.

In this video, I'm joined by Dr. Phillip Cary, author of the fantastic book, The Meaning of Protestant Theology: Luther, Augustine, and the Gospel that Gives Us Christ. In it he dives deeply into the theology of Martin Luther, St. Augustine, and their philosophical influences. In doing so, he shows how the heart of Protestant theology, for Luther at least, is union with Christ. Personally, union with Christ is one of my favorite theological topics, so I'm delighted to be sharing this with you.

We tackle questions about how to interpret ancient texts, avoiding chronological snobbery, and how to move past our time's crisis of meaning. We also explore some of Jonathan's personal story, how he got into iconography, and what led him to the Orthodox church. Of course, we also talked about patterns and how to read the Bible while paying attention to patterns as well as seeing patterns in the world. One of my favorite questions we explored was, what's the line between seeing patterns and conspiracy theories? Check out Jonathan's Work:https://www.youtube.com/user/pageaujonathanSupport Gospel Simplicity:Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/gospelsimplicity​One Time Donation: https://www.paypal.me/gospelsimplicityMerch: https://gospelsimplicity.creator-springFollow Gospel Simplicity on Social Media:Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/gospelsimplicityInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/gospelsimpli...Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/gsplsimplicity​Support the show

For 10% off your first month, use the link, http://www.faithfulcounseling.com/gospelsimplicityWhat does the Catholic church teach when it comes to the topic of Justification? If you're familiar with a bit of church history, you know that justification, and specifically the doctrine of justification by faith alone, sola fide, was at the heart of the Reformation. Churches have split, anathemas have been pronounced, and no small amount of ink has been shed on the topic of Justification. Since the Second Vatican Council, Protestants and Catholics have been participating in dialogues to see if perhaps they can come together on this doctrine. Most famously, in 1999 the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification was signed between the Roman Catholic Church and the Lutheran World Federation. However, despite this progress, Catholics and Protestants remain divided, and many Protestants wonder what it is that Catholics teach about Justification. Do Catholics believe that we're justified by works? Can Catholics agree to the doctrine of justification by faith alone and what does all this talk about "merit" mean? In this interview, we tackle these questions and more as Jimmy Akin carefully guides us through a Catholic understanding of the doctrine of Justification. Jimmy Akin is a Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers.

Dr. Brett Salkeld, the Archdiocesan Theologian for Calgary and co-host of the Thinking Faith podcast, delves into the often-misunderstood concept of transubstantiation. He uncovers its historical roots, connecting Protestant theologians like Calvin and Luther with Catholic thought, showing they addressed similar issues. Salkeld emphasizes the need for ecumenical dialogue and understanding, arguing that this doctrine can unify rather than divide Christians. He clarifies the philosophical nuances of the Eucharist, advocating for a more compassionate approach to differing beliefs.

Or maybe, do you believe in God, but do you feel like this doesn't really change how you see the world? Even many Christians, according to Dr. Beck, live like atheists because we don't really expect God to show up in our lives. Gone are the days of seeing God at work all around us. Instead, now many of us, whether religious or not, live with a functionally materialistic, skeptical worldview. In this video, Dr. Richard Beck, Professor of Psychology talks about how to develop a more enchanted and dynamic faith, so that you can experience God in your daily life.Buy Dr. Beck's Book, Hunting Magic Eels: https://amzn.to/3z8dyPKCheck out Dr. Beck's blog: https://www.experimentaltheology.comAll things Gospel Simplicity: http://www.gospelsimplicity.comSupport Gospel Simplicity:Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/gospelsimplicity​Merch: https://gospelsimplicity.creator-spring.comOne Time Donation: http://www.paypal.me/gospelsimplicityFollow Gospel Simplicity on Social Media:Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/gospelsimplicityInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/gospelsimplicityTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/gsplsimplicity​Support the show

In this video I sit down with Fr. Mark-Mary Ames of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal to talk about the spiritual life, specifically from a Catholic perspective. Furthermore, Fr. Mark-Mary shares not only a Catholic perspective on the spiritual life, but also a distinctively Franciscan approach. Fr. Mark-Mary introduces the crisis of our age as a crisis of prayer, and gives practical steps to cultivate a life of holiness and prayer. Read Fr.
