Next Step #325 – August 28, 2014

Borrowing from Curly’s “I’m trying to think but nothing happens,” Fr. Vazken talks about the information-overload and the power of the Holy Badarak (Divine Liturgy) in meditation and making it happen. The names of St. Mary. Labor day – a very special one for a niece in labor! Encore presentation of Ani Bubbles.

Religion in the Warplace

Next Step #324 – August 21, 2014

An Armodox approach to war, violence and religion with the overwhelming news of ISIS, war and genocide, destruction, killings… turning-off scenes of obscene violence of war and destruction is a luxury that many are exercising. Time to take a serious look at what you believe about religion and God in the face of such obscenity. When God is created in man’s image the violence erupts… case in point, look at the Old Testament. Saudi Arabian cleric proclaims the #1 enemy of Islam…. you’ll be surprised who’s been putting up the wall and what we can learn. Fr. Vazken takes the ALS Ice Water Challenge – and a lady named Rose.

Next Step #323 – August 14, 2014

In light of the passing of Robin Williams, here Fr. Vazken discusses and brings the Armodoxy understanding to difficult topics such as depression, suicide, death, loneliness and the grieving process. Also, a practical approach “economia” and how the needs of the church and community outweigh the laws and rules of those communities. The meteor shower and the learning process.

Next Step #322 – August 7, 2014 

In this episode Fr. Vazken comes out with stories from his past and today. The plastic collar… well, it’s plastic… not so with the markings of the Shaolin monk and a tattoo. A look at Theoretical and Applied Physics to Religion – it just makes sense! Sabre rattling by the Azeris – Pay attention! “Impregnation Day” is past, but still possible.
