| 6/19/26 | Local Roots in a Digital Babylon | As America approaches its 250th anniversary, Fr. Anthony and Fr. Harry reflect on patriotism, nationhood, and the relationship between local communities and the Church. Drawing on political theory, Orthodox ecclesiology, and their own pastoral experience, they explore the difference between nations, peoples, and places, arguing that Christian life flourishes not in abstract ideologies but in concrete communities rooted in love, worship, and shared life. The conversation culminates in a discussion of the internet, technology, and the dangers of disembodied existence, offering a defense of local parish life as an essential antidote to the homogenizing forces of modern culture.

| 10/6/25 | Head Coverings in the Spirit of Love and Unity | Fr. Harry and Fr. Anthony turn to 1 Corinthians 11 to explore the meaning of head coverings in the Church. They show how St. Paul’s teaching addressed cultural practices in Corinth that threatened unity, reminding us that customs should serve modesty, harmony, and love rather than become points of pride or contention. In the end, they emphasize that whatever practices we keep must help build up the Body of Christ in faith and unity. Enjoy the show! | — | ||||||
| 10/3/25 | Orthodox Women's Ministries and the Priesthood | In response to a listener’s question, Fr. Harry and Fr. Anthony explore the role of women in the life of the Church, from family and parish life to broader questions of ministry. They distinguish between the ordained priesthood, reserved for men, and the universal royal priesthood shared equally by all the baptized, emphasizing that men and women alike bring unique gifts and callings into the Body of Christ. Drawing on Scripture, the Fathers, and pastoral wisdom, they stress the need for discernment, humility, and submission within the Church, while warning against cultural influences and online divisiveness that distort ecclesial life. Enjoy the show! | — | ||||||
| 9/19/25 | Preparing for Death in Christ: The Church as Our Teacher | Fr. Harry Linson Bigler and Fr. Anthony Perkins reflect on recent tragedies, including the anniversary of 9/11 and the assassination of Charlie Kirk, to explore how the Church prepares us for death. They discuss the difference between modern avoidance of death and the Church’s ancient practices, showing how prayer, liturgy, and the lives of the saints form us to face mortality with peace and faith. Drawing on Scripture, the funeral services, and examples of martyrdom, they remind us that bodily death is not defeat but a passage into eternal life in Christ. | — | ||||||
| 9/14/25 | The Many Names of the Church: Identity, Fullness, and Faith | Fathers Harry and Anthony explore the many names of the Church in the New Testament and liturgy, showing how each reveals her identity as the Body of Christ and the household of God. They highlight the call to protect the Church’s fullness through humility, unity, and faithful participation in Christ’s kingdom. | — | ||||||
| 8/16/25 | The Fullness of the Church: Names, Wolves, and the Wheat | Fr. Harry and Fr. Anthony begin their exploration of the many names of the Church found in the New Testament, emphasizing its identity as the Body of Christ and its sacramental fullness in every local parish. They warn of spiritual dangers—wolves among the flock—and reflect on the difference between harmful divisiveness and mere imperfection within the Church, drawing on parables like the wheat and the tares. Their discussion culminates in a beautiful meditation on the Eucharist as the eschatological gathering of the faithful, uniting heaven and earth in the present moment. Enjoy the show! | — | ||||||
| 8/8/25 | In Tune with Heaven: The Sacred Call to Gather | Father Harry and Father Anthony explore the theological and canonical importance of gathering for Sunday worship, grounding their discussion in Old Testament examples, patristics, and church tradition. Drawing from Christ’s Amazing Church, they highlight how corporate worship aligns believers with God’s will and protects them from spiritual dissonance. They also reflect on Sabbath observance, the consequences of neglecting the ecclessia, and Sunday worship as the divine “tuning fork” that harmonizes our lives with the source of all things good, beautiful, and true. Enjoy the show! | — | ||||||
| 7/16/25 | The Church Before Pentecost: Sacred Assembly in the Old Testament | Fr. Harry and Fr. Anthony explore how the Church existed in the Old Testament as the gathered people of God, long before Pentecost. They emphasize that salvation is communal, not individualistic, and must be understood within the context of the Church as Christ’s Body. The episode unpacks the importance of sacred space, intentional worship, and our calling to be living tabernacles carrying Christ into the world each week. | — | ||||||
| 7/2/25 | Ecclesiology in the (Greek!) Old Testament | Fr. Harry leads us through the way ecclesiology was thought of in the Old Testament and how these concepts were alive, available, and ready to be taken to the next level in the New Testament in the Greek scriptural vernacular. Enjoy the show! | — | ||||||
| 6/25/25 | Ecclesiology and the Long Road to Church | Today Fr. Harry and Fr. Anthony take a short detour from their ongoing study of ecclesiology to look a topic in applied ecclesiology: what to do about the paucity of parishes in many of our locales. This is something many of our listeners experience and that the Church is working to solve. Enjoy the show! | — | ||||||
| 6/14/25 | Ecclesiology, Heresy, and Schism | The 3rd Ecumenical Council referred to Orthodoxy as “the Faith of the Catholic and Apostolic Church to which all Orthodox Bishops, both East and West, agree.” Today Fr. Harry and Fr. Anthony talk about what it means that the Church exists where this faith is found and what the implications are for defining heresy, heretics, and schism. Fr. Anthony also introduces everyone to one of his favorite variations of southern boba tea. Enjoy the show! | — | ||||||
