What is Orthodoxy and How Should We Appr...

Fr. Peter Heers
About this episode

Fr. Peter Heers speaks to ROCOR Youth in Australia (December 2023).

QUESTION & ANSWER SESSION:
(52:39): How can you find a balance between wanting to go with friends, or watching a TV show, and doing all these things in life that take up so much of our time, versus praying, reading spiritual texts, going to additional Church services? What’s the point of doing these secular activities when I could be growing closer to God instead?

(58:50): If you were to have an extremely vivid spiritual dream, should you tell someone about it, or be concerned about it, or brush it off?

(1:02:58): I don’t want to fall into the temptation of being externally “religious”, how do I develop genuine love for Christ?

(1:09:59): Do you find that young Christians rely solely on social media for information and theology, without looking for a spiritual father and a real-life community?

(1:13:02): I have family and friends that are of other religions and they tell me that Orthodoxy is all the same to them, what should my response be?

(1:17:21): Going back to the dream question, multiple priests say if the sign of the cross is in the dream, that means that it’s a message from God because it’s a sign of the cross.

(1:18:04): How do you respond to people that ask questions about the faith, and you’re not sure how to answer them?
