  • What Is Orthodoxy? A Priest’s Powerful Story of Adoption & the Ancient Church
    Jun 24 2026

    What does theOrthodox Church actually teach about salvation, judgment, theosis, repentance,and what God wants from humanity?

    In this in‑depth interview, Father Thomas Soroka(Ancient Faith podcaster and priest of St Nicholas Orthodox Church, Pittsburgh)gives one of the clearest explanations available online.

    We explore:

    • Theosis — “Godbecame man so that man might become god” (what it really means)

    • Judgment — whythe same glory of God is heaven for some and hell for others

    • Salvation — whyforgiveness means nothing without repentance

    • Human purpose —why glorifying and thanking God is the core of true humanity

    • Scripture inOrthodoxy — how the Bible is understood within the Church

    • What God wantsfrom us — communion, transformation, and participation in divine life

    • Orthodoxy vsProtestant assumptions — key differences in anthropology and salvation

    • Why Orthodoxyinsists on synergy — God’s grace + human response

    • What it meansto be truly human in Orthodox theology

    • How the earlyChurch shapes Orthodox worship today

  • Should Orthodox churches charge for Baptism?
    Jun 22 2026

    Should churchescharge for baptism, weddings, funerals, or membership? This video tackles oneof the most controversial questions circulating online: why some Orthodoxparishes post prices for sacraments or require financial membership dues—andwhether this practice is compatible with Orthodox theology.

    In this candidand pastoral response, Orthodox priest Father Thomas Soroka explains why theChurch is not a factory that “hatches, matches, and dispatches,” but the livingBody of Christ, where the sacraments are gifts of grace—not commodities.

  • Folk Orthodoxy vs the Gospel: Mission in Moldova
    Jun 17 2026


    Why is “grace” sohard to grasp in many Orthodox contexts—and how can Protestants share thegospel clearly without talking past people?

    In this episodeof Evangelising Eastern Orthodoxy, John Diacos speaks with Graeme Innes(Crosslinks missionary in Moldova) about evangelism to those from Orthodoxbackgrounds—especially where “folk Orthodoxy” (tradition + superstition + fear)shapes everyday belief.

    You’ll learn:

    • What “folkOrthodoxy” looks like on the ground (and why it’s often more controlling thanofficial doctrine)

    • Why fear,rituals, and “self‑salvation”instincts can eclipse Jesus

    • Why “Are yousaved?” can land differently in Orthodox conversations

    • Practicalevangelism approaches for older generations, nominal men, and post‑Orthodox Gen Z

    • The “missingpiece”: how to explain grace clearly (and patiently)

    • Recommendedresources to understand Orthodoxy and avoid category mistakes

    • How to prepareif you’re considering mission work in Orthodox-majority countries
