Integrity and Judgement - w/ Fr Josiah Trenham
A conversation between Paul and Fr Josiah Trenham on “Integrity” and “Being a Man of Your Word” - centered on the Orthodox Christian faith. As a father of three sons and an Orthodox Christian, I know that the most important measure of my success in fatherhood depends on my ability to lead my sons to Christ. I know that my actions speak far louder than my words, so thus being a man of integrity will determine my success. I would like to understand better what St Paul says in Romans 7: "For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do." And especially how I am to respond in the face of that - what are the sources of my own duplicity, twisted intentions, and darkened heart, how do I become more aware of these things in everyday life, and what am I to do about it. In this conversation, I particularly ask, what is the reason that I am unable to recognize, even less control my inability to do what I say I want to do? And how do I handle my anger in a way that can bring me and my family closer to God.

Ancient Answers to Modern Problems - How Saints Help Answer Men’s Questions Today
The modern man is bombarded with so many decisions about online voting, online dating, Internet pornography, Bitcoin, blockchain, stable cryptocurrencies, gun control, crowd control, birth control, the highway patrol, gay-rights, women's rights, homosexuality, feminism, sexism, agesim, racism, and 100 other issues that seem so "new" to us today. We think of ourselves as the first to ever face these issues. It never even occurs to us to crack open a dusty book in a library, to see what the Early Church Fathers and saints say about these topics, because, surely, they lived so long ago, that none of them ever even thought about such things.
