Refocus, Return, Reclaim

 

Next Step #457: The Weekend of the Prodigal Son brings a story of redemption, a story of recovery and of course, reclaim. On the eve of an unprecedented Christian Conference, RECLAIM, Fr. Vazken explores the story of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15) in its many dimensions. The journey of the Prodigal Son back home comes alive in this special edition.

Lenten Consumption

Next Step #456: Lenten exercise to look beyond the abstinence models and engage the spiritual. Ashes to ashes is just as valid as dust to dust: So too with cremation.

The Moon/Earth Paradox and Metaphor for defining evil explained. Beyond the dates and the numbers – a look at the message underlying our faith. Prelude to the Reclaim Conference, coming up.
