Cultivating an Orthodox Life of Faith and Purpose | Fr John Reimann Homily | TIO008 CWP081

Cloud of Witnesses Radio

What kind of soil are you in your spiritual journey? Join us as we reflect on this profound question through the lens of the Feast of the Holy Fathers of the Seventh Ecumenical Councils and the resilience of St. Jacob of Hamatura. Drawing from his childhood in Idaho, Father John Reimann of Saint Anthony the Great Orthodox Church, shares a story of his father’s unwavering commitment to transforming rocky terrain into a lush garden. It's a tale that speaks to the heart of our spiritual lives, urging us to cultivate hearts open to divine guidance and cooperation with Christ Jesus, much like tending to a garden.
Our discussion continues with the vibrant community at St. Anthony's, where various ministries—from choir to pro-life initiatives—act as spiritual nourishment for us all. These ministries invite us to engage deeply, removing obstacles and nurturing our spiritual soil to bear fruit for God's glory. As we Orthodox Christians embody living icons in the world, we strive to enrich our lives and inspire others to witness our good works for the Kingdom of God. Concluding with a blessing, Fr John invites us all to reflect, renew, and rejoice in the message of the Gospel.
Thank you for listening - we pray this is an edifying experience for you.
