Next Step #487: Living in the aftermath of the shooting in Las Vegas. The search for answers finds heroes, survivor guilt and more we didn’t expect. Answers that are more than bringing in the politicians and clergy. A different conversation of the massacred reaching out to the massacred, i.e., Armodoxy.

Cancer: the Great Equalizer

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #484: Post-event reflections. Surviving a 39 mile walk and living to tell about it. And how? By connecting the dots between God, faith and religion, how else? Here’s a behind the scene look at the appeal of a difficult event and how it becomes a privilege to participate.  Applications for models of service and funding. Thoughts on the threshold of funding our important outreach programs. Cancer as the great equalizer.

The Good fill in the blank

/0 Comments/in

Next Step 483: A reading of the Good Samaritan for today opens the discussion for relevance. The passing for Fr. Arnak Kasparian and that special class of 1948. Pastor Joel Osteen under fire for post Harvey haste, but Fr. Vazken brings yet more dimension to the conversation that has the listener looking closer to home. Much more from the POV of sincerity.

Irony of Compassion

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #482: “The bee that almost drowned” starts off this episode which brings to question our sense of Compassion. Is it a case of irony, betrayal or ungratefulness that we have lost our focus. Mother Teresa 20 years later furthers the discussion on compassion. The Eternal Present overshadowing the future.  Exposed myths: future-theology, self-made wealth and the Council of Chalcedon. The Palin endorsement and our loss of memory. And the “Dervishian Matrix” in this Next Step.
