We dive deep into: What it means to be received into Orthodoxy Preparing for Lent and Pascha (Orthodox Easter) Ephesians 2:8–10 explained Faith alone vs faithfulness Grace, mercy, and works from an Orthodox perspective James 2:24 and the early Church Fathers Synergy and theosis Church history and apostolic succession Jam walks through what he used to believe in Evangelical Protestant Christianity compared to what he now believes within Eastern Orthodoxy about salvation, grace, faith, and obedience. This episode is not about attacking other denominations — it’s about digging into Scripture, Church history, and the teachings of the early Church. If you’ve ever wrestled with questions like: Are we saved by faith alone? What role do works play in salvation? What did the early Church believe? What is theosis? Why does Orthodoxy emphasize tradition? This episode is for you. 📖 Key Scriptures Covered: Ephesians 2:8–10 James 2:24 John 15:5 Matthew 7:21 Philippians 2:12 Matthew 24:13 Salvation isn’t just a legal declaration — it’s a healing journey. Grace initiates. Faith unites. Works manifest. Endurance completes. As always: I am not a priest or theologian. I’m just a dude who loves the Lord. If you have theological questions, contact an Orthodox priest. 💪 Guts & Guns Update: 5 straight days in the gym Defensive Handgun & Concealed Carry classes launching Group bookings open for 2026 If this episode challenges you, encourages you, or makes you want to dig deeper into Church history — share it with someone.
