Our readings for the eleventh Sunday of Matthew (1 Corinthians 9:1-12, Matthew 18:23-25) happily correspond this year with our remembrance of the Holy Prophet and last of the Judges of Israel, Samuel. Parts of his story in 1 Samuel/Kingdoms 12 and 28, plus words about him in Psalm 98 (LXX)/99 and Sirach 46, help us understand more deeply God’s character of justice and forgiveness, exemplified in the prophet. We, too, are called to this pattern as we respond to the problems of our day, including the social unrest and violence of this week.

We continue our discussion of the famous Prayer of St. Ephraim the Syrian and his plea for God to remove from him the "lust for power" and "idle talk". As is made clear from the sayings of the Fathers cited here, these sins are so well-rooted in our normal, everyday lives that raising our self-awareness regarding how and how often we commit them is a significant Lenten undertaking.

A mix of live calls, pre-recorded calls and email questions make up this episode with questions ranging from capital punishment to being a witness to our atheistic friends.

Calls were abundant on this episode on topics like Hades, the atonement, the immaculate conception and more.

Fr. Tom Soroka joins Fr. Evan as guest co-host as they take questions about Orthodoxy as the true Church, Gnosticism, social media, and "love not the world."
