      Ep. 6: On New Beginnings
      Jan 14 2026

      In this episode, the brothers discuss a prayer that Abba Arsenius makes about new beginnings.

      Ep. 5: Power over wild beasts
      Dec 4 2025

      In this episode the brothers start off by considering the forging of virtues, and then move on to tackle one of the "hard" or "strange" sayings of Abba Anthony in order to give you an idea of what to do when you come across one of the sayings that is just plainly weird. With that, they finish up the sayings of Abba Anthony and move on to those of Abba Arsenius, again bringing to mind how our actions are directed towards the end of union with God. Here they discuss how all people are able to flee the world and be alone with God.

      Ep. 4: "Ask your father and he will tell you"
      Nov 21 2025

      In this episode, the brothers focus on a couple of sayings of Abba Anthony that have to do with the strength of our fathers in the faith, and how we often can seem so weak. But don't despair! In our weakness God comes to our aid. So, at the same time, they consider how the great lesson that our fathers have to teach us is truly the mercy of God.
