32: The Law Written on Hearts of Flesh 11:25

The law written by the hand of God on stone tablets represents the law’s inability to enliven the dead, for when Moses descended the mountain, the people had already created the golden calf. Therefore, the tablets were remade and Moses wrote on the stone tablets. But Christ, who fulfilled the law and took His life back up again, now writes the law on living hearts of flesh.

This episode focuses on sharing the afflictions of Christ through bearing our own cross. Sacrifice was established as soon as mankind was expelled from paradise where Adam and Eve did not sacrifice their own will, but instead took the fruit for themselves. Love in sacrifice and sacrifice in love are the cornerstones of true Life. Without love, sacrifice kills; without sacrifice, love is barren sentiment. Visit https://thepodvig.com to sign up now!

Like the wooden horse given to the city of Troy, the Cross of Jesus Christ is not at all what it seems. It is dead wood that produced the ripened fruit of eternal life; it's a sword disguised as gallows. Sign up at https://thepodvig.com to get the full transcript episode!

Your life, beloved, is a war and temptation precipitates each battle. Saint Theophan the Recluse said it this way: “The arena, the field of battle, the site where the fight actually takes place is our own heart and all our inner man. The time of battle is our whole life.” St. James tells us that every man is tempted from within, being lured away by his own lusts and passions, and is enticed. (James 1:14) In Mark 7, our Lord says this: “Hear Me, everyone, and understand: There is nothing that enters a man from outside which can defile him; but the things which come out of him, those are the things that defile a man.”…

25: Prayer is the Ultimate Technology 10:40

In its ancient understanding, technology (“techne” in Greek) is a form of spiritual knowledge and skill granted to humans by the divine for their empowerment. Although we tend to think of technology as its physical application, it universally originates from the spiritual realm. Therefore, the use of technology doesn’t just have physical repercussions but spiritual ones as well. St. John of Damascus, in the “Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith,” writes: “Prayer is the raising of one’s mind and heart to God or the requesting of good things from God. But when you pray, you should seek with your whole heart and not be slothful, employing a certain skill (techne) in the art of prayer.” Because we are witnessing the continuous and exponential growth of technology, which will provide the type of power necessary to bring Transhumanism from a dystopian nightmare into reality. The only viable response to transhumanism is to become truly human, to become by grace what God is by nature. As those around us are inevitably deceived into transforming their nature in accordance with the demons, Christians must be discerning and seek to become like God.

A simple life is not about depriving ourselves of earthly joy, comfort, or material possessions. Rather, it is a deliberate choice to reorient our lives toward what truly matters. Simplifying our lives allows us to shed that which weighs us to this Earth, while at the same time knowing that: "The spiritual life does not remove us from the world, but leads us deeper into it." - St. Seraphim of Sorov.

Christ reconciled the entire human race through his death, burial, and resurrection, and, like Adam, provided both a body and the blood necessary for His bride, the Church. Pentecost is the recreation of the woman, wherein God breathes the Holy Spirit into the body and blood taken from the side of His Son on the cross. The power of the Holy Spirit, the uncreated energies of God, now animates the unified Body of Christ, which is the Church.
