Apr 25, 2009	Singleness Of Heart Fr. Stephen looks at singleness of heart—simply learning to say what is in our heart, practicing integrity within ourselves. Its importance to one's spiritual life cannot be overstated.	08:02

Mar 28, 2009	Personhood And Love Fr. Stephen looks at the teaching of the Elder Sophrony and St. Silouan and what it is they mean by "person." Our existence is rooted in love.	05:16

Jan 31, 2009	The Wrath Of God Fr. Stephen looks at the Orthodox understanding of the wrath of God and the patristic teaching that His wrath is nothing other than His love given to us. The wrath is our own hatred for His love. It is an understanding of the good God who loves mankind.	10:10

Oct 18, 2008	Remembrance Fr. Stephen speaks of the power of remembrance - both the remembrance of wrongs done to us and the remembrance of God. He speaks of how it is that the remembance of God alone establishes us in the Truth.	05:31
Oct 11, 2008	Me, You And The Other Guy The strange relationship of prosperity and piety.	06:55

Aug 02, 2008	In The Last Days Fr. Stephen reflects both on his own generation's fascination with the "last days" and with much of modern Christianity's fascination with the same. He argues that Orthodox Christians should focus on Christ in the Eucharist who is the "One Who Is To Come."	13:17
Jul 26, 2008	The Passion To Consume Fr. Stephen looks at the role the classical Christian passions play in our modern culture - how they shape what we think, how we feel, and many of the decisions we make - even on the unconcious level.	10:26

May 30, 2008	Is Relationship with God What We Want? Fr. Stephen looks at the words "relationship" and "fellowship" and notes that they are very "weak" translations of the Greek word koinonia in Scripture. He suggests how we should understand this word in its true, Orthodox sense.	15:21
May 23, 2008	Grace and the Inverted Pyramid Father Stephen comments on some of the thoughts found in a recent work by Archimandrite Zacharias of England. He looks at the "inverted pyramid," the humility of Christ in which authority is to be found not at the top but at the bottom of things, in Christ's bearing the sins of the whole of humanity.	12:30
May 16, 2008	The Silent Sentinels Among Us Fr. Stephen looks at the quiet role played by grace-filled persons in our world. In many ways, God preserves us through the presence of such saints.	11:53

Mar 14, 2008	Salvation By Grace and Just Showing Up Fr.

Mar 07, 2008	Giving Thanks In All Things In this podcast, Fr. Stephen speaks about giving thanks to God and its foundation in the belief that God is good. He focuses on four aspects of that goodness.	17:56
Feb 29, 2008	At the Edge of Tradition In this podcast Fr. Stephen speaks about the experience of standing at the "edge" of Tradition as people look at the Tradition of the Church and discuss it, seek to appropriate parts of it, but remain outside of that Tradition. He emphasizes that the Tradition of the faith is nothing other than our union with the True and Living God and His union with us.	07:44
Feb 22, 2008	Eight Things I Should Know Fr. Stephen talks about eight different ways that the divided, "two-storey" universe, a world divided between sacred and secular, effect us as Christians and offers reflections on how we should see and cope with each of them. This is the largest summary of his work to date.	23:46
Feb 15, 2008	All The Fullness of God In this podcast, Fr. Stephen speaks about the Orthodox use of the word "fullness," both as a description of the Church but also, and especially, as a description of what we long for in the Christian life.	09:21
Feb 08, 2008	Christianity In A One-Story Universe - Part 6; Where Do We Begin? Fr.

Feb 02, 2008	Orthodoxy and Culture Fr. Stephen looks at the relationship between Orthodox Christianity and Culture and argues that since Orthodoxy is the fullness of the faith, it should also be productive of the fullness of what it is to be human. Healthy Orthodox nations have always had a healthy Orthodox culture.	11:05
Jan 25, 2008	Right and Wrong in the One-Story Universe Fr. Stephen looks at morality and virtue, particularly as understood during the so-called "Age of Enlightenment," and compares it with an Orthodox understanding of right actions in the life of a Christian.	15:04

Jan 04, 2008	Things Are Not Always As They Seem In this week's podcast Fr. Stephen notes that things are not always as they seem. In our busy world we often only see things in a blur. We want things quickly. He notes that grace has a slowness about it and urges us to "be still" and "know" God.	08:45
Dec 28, 2007	Getting Saved in the Church In this podcast, Fr. Stephen speaks about salvation and the Church in the Orthodox understanding. He states that: "the Church is what salvation looks like," and explain how the Tradition of the Church sees our salvation in Christ as something we work out in the context of the believing community rather than as a mere individual.	17:57
Dec 21, 2007	The Church in the One-Story Universe Fr. Stephen continues his series on the One-Story Universe and looks at what it means for the Church. The Church is concrete and real. The "Fullness of Him that Filleth All in All," is not an abstraction or an "invisible" Church, but rather the very real Church established by Christ.	08:32
Dec 14, 2007	Scarcity and Abundance in a One-Story Universe In this talk Fr. Stephen continues with the imagery of the One-Story Universe, but uses it to challenge our sense of finitude and scarcity and instead boldly proclaims that the risen Christ has raised us to a Kingdom where we are not bound by limits, but by the endless abundance of His love.	09:12
Dec 07, 2007	Time in a One-Story Universe Fr. Stephen continues his series on the modern world's division between things secular and things spiritual, showing that the Orthodox life should be lived not in a "two-story" universe but in a "one-story" universe. This talk looks at our modern understanding of time and how it runs counter to the Church's traditional understanding.	15:38
Nov 30, 2007	The One-Story Universe and Icons: Music from Another Room Fr. Stephen Freeman speaks on icons as doors that open onto other rooms. He also speaks about how we view evil in this understanding of God's world.	13:01

Nov 16, 2007	Christianity In A One-Story Universe - Part 5; Windows to Heaven Fr. Stephen looks at the way icons help us to see the world as it truly is rather than as a window to a "second story."	13:13
Nov 09, 2007	Christianity In A One-Story Universe - Part 4; Christian Atheism Continuing with his illuminating series, in Part 4 Fr. Stephen Freeman discusses those (both non-Orthodox and Orthodox) for whom knowledge of God is but a relationship with a book (albeit a sacred book) or with ideas about God. These people are what Fr. Freeman calls "practical atheists." "Although a person may espouse a belief in God, it's quite possible for that belief to be so removed from everyday life that God's non-existence would make little difference."	12:24
Nov 02, 2007	Christianity In A One-Story Universe - Part 3; God In The Ordinary "It's not until we cease to divide the world into ordinary and extraordinary, into usual and unusual, into sacred and secular, that we will have either the possibility of knowing God, much less living the Christian life." -- Fr.
