Chuck and I became friends on Facebook and I always read his posts there with great interest. He writes brief articles covering many different aspects of Church life, and they are always well written and highly informed. Chuck has an excellent grasp of the practical aspects of church life. He has a down to earth approach to spiritual life that can benefit many, as opposed to some of the more theologically oriented digital creators which are so common in our feeds these days. You will meet Chuck where the rubber meets the road, and that is something that I appreciate about him and why I have asked him to be a guest on my channel.In todays interview we will be discussing how to make the most of Great Lent. Particularly we will focus on the hypothetical person who is new to church life and may even be going through their first season of Lent as a practicing Christian. What kind of fasting is appropriate for us? What should we adopt for our prayer rule? How about church attendance, and spiritual reading? All of these practical aspects and more will be discussed in today's interview.Chuck is a Subdeacon in the Orthodox Church.https://www.facebook.com/subd.chuckhttps://www.patreon.com/cw/subdeacon______________________________________________________Young Penitent Links:Beard Oil: https://www.byzantinebeard.com/Telegram Announcements Channel: https://t.me/+jITpv7gWcE9hM2IxTelegram Chatroom: https://t.me/+jITpv7gWcE9hM2IxTwitter/X: https://x.com/youngpenitentDonate to Young Penitent via Paypal here: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/youngpenitentSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1MqPG5CgYnmMrQ5h8DUcSAApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/young-penitent/id1709812607Free album download: https://youngpenitent1.bandcamp.com/album/christian-rap-2
