Ευχαριστούμε πάτερ για τον αγώνα που δίνετε στη Αμερική για την διάδοση της αληθείας. Να εύχεστε και
για μας τους Έλληνες, που περνάμε και εμείς τα ανάλογα στην πατρίδα μας, η οποία υπήρξε πάντοτε ορθόδοξη.
Χριστός Ανέστη!
I was literally wondering earlier today when we were going to see Fr. Josiah on this platform. I find his teachings to be not only very edifying, but also admiring. Christos Anesti! ☦️
I like to hear him speak. My mom always worked.both my parents tough us to work and not rely on a man because my dad was controlling.
I learned so much from this❤
I pray I can go see orthodox monasteries all over the world, and take my mom with me😊
Much love from your fellow Ethiopian orthodox ♡
We are very fortunate in many ways our home is a sanctuary. It's filled with love, joy and fun. I work for myself and struggle but that's okay. And my wife is brilliant!8
Very well said and I think this should be in every Christian home. But unfortunately 90% of Christians, not only Orthodox, do not practice such teachings in their homes, this is the truth unfortunately.
You should have gotten rid of the secularists when you people had the chance
My home is chaos
@@Kathrynlove why is that?
@@Kathrynlove I'm sorry, I think at some point in life we all go through it in one way or another, some have it harder. I know that in these moments it's hard to keep God by our side, but no matter what difficulties you and your family are going through, pray and stay close to Him. God uses these moments to shape us into a better version of ourselves, if we so choose to trust Him and remaining by His side. God bless you and your family 🙏
This is so beautiful
Thank you fr for your observation and honesty God bless
Ive been waiting to see Fr. Josiah. Please interview Fr.Justin Havens as well.
Amen Praise the lord ☦️🛐
I wish I could experience this just once...as a Protestant some things are anticlimatic
Amen
❤✝️ CHRIST IS RISEN ✝️❤
❤💪💍🙏✝️ GOD GIVES US STRENGTH AGAINST EVIL AND TEMPTATIONS ✝️🙏⛪️🕊✌
AMEN AMEN AMEN!!!
This is so beautiful! What do I do at 70 when I have raised my sons alone while praying for them, but not enough. Never doing enough, so many mistakes. What do I do now?
I think you can start doing now what should be done - start living the Christian life, start giving the good example . The priest said it in the video . And I think age is no concern for that. I am 40 and still very influenced by my parents ... So trust me your kids will notice the change...
Keep praying 🙏
Understand this is not all your fault. You have an enemy that wants to kill steal and destroy you. You have a world that has a “you make your own life” mindset. God said he is sovereign. Christ said loose your life for him. That means your not the only one “doing everything”. your saved by grace through faith a gift not something you did not works. I’m working on this too it’s called an orphan spirit. God the father wants to show you his love and the way he wants you to go. But we’re not letting him cause of self condemnation. Repent for that repent for doing things your way and ask for gods way. Cast out that orphan spirit through prayer and fasting. God is faithful he will bring you wisdom and power ❤you/we got this.
11:54 - Think of what he showed mastery over: Biology, Science, Time, Chemistry. Such a beautiful thing. Hard to believe people refuse to consider the truth of Jesus Christ.
QUESTION: I struggle with believing I am worthy of love and that I am even loved likely due to how I was not shown very much love by my father as a child as well as being bullied which lowered my self esteem and has caused me to feel insecure in myself. I want to know that I am loved by God and feel secure in his love but I sometimes doubt that he even loves me, why He would even love me, and really what His love for us really is. Can you help me to understand Christ's love for us?
Well I don't know if that helps but I'll tell it to you. My father was like you, he had a very harsh childhood (adopted, ealry death of his father, mother that didn't love him etc). At his death bed he finally realized that we (his 2 sons) were indeed loving him and after a lifetime away from God he was speared and felt our Lord Christ in him. He was able to confess to a Priest and take Holy Communion at his last days in bed. I relay believe that he was speared at the last moment.
For you I prey my brother and I hope that you will find Christ earlier in your life.
Ask yourself this: are u worthy of love? ... i know this can sound unfriendly but to be loved u need to be worthy of love. I found this out late in my life and try to tell everyone this.
I'm right there with ya brother, but this is how i look at it: I know that I deserve to go to hell, nothing can change that. But I want to spend the little time that I have left before hand, to love and know and get closer to Christ. That's really all I can do. Also, go to church and do all the things. I learned that if you don't have the praxis, you cannot change your heart, no matter how much pain comes into your life if you're not actually doing Church things it will not soften you, it will just make you more evil. That's just my 2 cents brother, and I'm talking to myself more than I'm talking to you. Lol. God bless.
Being created in the image of God, undoubtedly God loves us. But to be his sons we need to love him and born from him through baptism ...
Do not try to rationalize the love of God based on your worthiness ... nothing is worthy than His image ... we have His love any tume, in any situation ... do not forget the prodigal son ... His father was waiting ... God is waiting to embrass you
Look up Fr. Hans Jacobse. He talks specifically about this a lot. He has a group called the St. Paisios brotherhood you can join as well.
St. John Chrysostom in one of his homilies instructs his flock to show brotherly love and affection to one another. Basically one way God's love is mediated to us is through brotherly love, and if you missed out on paternal affection you can heal that wound by giving and receiving fraternal affection. This can take the shape of working on projects together, deep conversation, exercising or playing sports together, giving hugs if you are comfortable etc.
Also pray for God to bring healing to you and He will deliver it. God bless you brothee
Well done Christian Bale
I better take notes father Josiah. An athlete for Jesus Christ? There are some great enlightening phrases you are mentioning there 😮
Question I have been married for 12 years, is there a verse that's says you have be married in church for it to be blessed? We are Cristian family
❤
Wait. Why does he speak that way? Wasn't born and raised the California?
Because he was very close to several Ethnic Hierarchs prior to his Ordination. He's adopted their inflections, whether this is purposeful or accidental is not for us to know.
That Santa Barbara has basically no accent is probably a contributing factor since many people I know from California, including my Uncle, "go native" and adopt the accents of the places they spend time in.
Thanks! @@acekoala457
If you listen to his earliest talks on CZcams, he also had a slight speech impediment that affected the way he said the “-ist/-ast/-ost” endings to words. Since it has been fixed but I often wonder if that had anything to do with his accent
Wow, thanks.@@ryanbutela3183
He studied in Scotland, I believe.
If you have a child with Autism...they are not a flower. The constant stress from the screaming and crying and tantrums and violence and chaos olin the home...life isn't beautiful anymore....it's a nightmare.
I’ll pray for you… that child is a flower, and I pray you find how beautiful it is.
Pretty messed up when you find more peace at work than you do at home.
The consequence of when your family stops caring.
Howcome women earning their money is ever satanic? Father, I welcome you to 2024.
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
He did not say women earning money is problematic; he said men and women redefining the identity divinely assigned to them is problematic. Which is a triusm on the face of it. If God assigns an identity it is, by definition, correct. The only consistent counter-arguments are: 1) to deny the existence of God, or 2) to deny, from received divine sources, that God has assigned any particular role to men or to women, or 3) to affirm one’s own authority or some alternate authority.
@@andrewadkins533 His exact words were...."The abandonment of the domestic management of the home by women due to the radical feminist movement is satanic."
6:12
Because it takes away from her role as a mother. If you think about it, you give 100% to your employer, but you don’t have 100% to give to your children and your husband. I highly encourage women to get a higher education and career until they have children. I was blessed to have been home for 10 years and they were the years of my life. I’m now back working and hate my career. He’s absolutely right about everything that he said.
what about the women who cant have kids
They pick up their cross and follow Christ like everyone else.
@@cozzwozzle so are they just not bless with the gift?
This world is fallen and we all suffer the effect of our own sins primarily and also the sins of our ancestors and all those before us and others around us. Sometimes due to the effect of sin in the world, some people have disabilities or are infertile or have chronic illness. This isn’t for us to choose and God uses these things for ur salvation if we let Him guide us through it.
I hope that helps
Adoption is very Holy. If not adoption then they should find a way to do gods work. Helping their community, helping their parish, volunteer work.
@@oscarbowman3718 okay thank you very much for the help
This information is too much. I don't believe in it just because the world doesn't work like this...the more I live the longer I realize the impossibility of what the church says....it sounds good but it's impossible and it's just isn't reality.
Are you talking about messed up shit that you do to kids & babies?
What are you talking about?
Get a life, stop consuming so much internet
You are not allowed to have an opinion about this my dear little friend ❤
And what a dis respectful waist of my time 💜
