/0 Comments/in

Next Step #170 – September 8, 2011

The 10th anniversary of the Terror Attacks of 9/11 coincides with the Elevation of the Holy Cross. 10 years of change, of war and opportunities – some seized, some missed. Armodoxy as a challenge to take the Next Step by walking in the shoes of others.  God’s will and evil: Rejecting scapegoating and the silliness of the Christian superiority complex. You are NOT helpless – no Twinkies here! You CAN make a difference in the world and in your life. 9/11 theme: “I refuse to Hate You” Also – answers to some important questions: Can I fight injustice? Does Jesus care who Chaz Bono dances with?

A Hug to the Message

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #167 – August 18, 2011

Hug from the lady who lost Max and the importance of human touch. Science & religion met at the grape blessing as they do in all things Christ-centered. The victims of the sexual revolution and the claim-to-fame of the famous. Divorce and the family/children. The primary purpose of institutions is Darwinian in nature. Listen up – and get a hug coupon while you’re at it. Details today.

The Mother of Love: A Different Perspective

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #165 – August 4, 2011

In preparation of the feast of Assumption, Fr. Vazken takes a step toward understanding St. Mary as a model for saying yes to Love. This is more than the story of an angel visiting the Blessed Mother of God, it’s about a visit we receive daily to become ambassadors of God’s Love in the world. This is prelude to the feast – part one of two. Also – thoughts on self-worth and the plight of women in the world. St. Mary opens a discussion about women’s issues that cannot be dismissed by the Christian.

The Center Light is Greater than the Law & the Prophets

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #164 – July 28, 2011

The elements of the Transfiguration of the Lord are looked at through the lens of Armenian Orthodoxy. Making sense of the water feast of Vartevar. Part 2 of 2 on the theme – understanding the CENTER figure as between Law and Prophet. (Part 1 – see NS episode #163) Seeking validity for ourselves from non-Christian sources. Summer readings and the fallacy in catch-up mentality. The Gospel of St. Matthew, chapter 17 as the platform for this weekend.

Transfiguring into Light

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #163 – July 21, 2011

Understanding Light as a function of temperature and not lumens. Fr. Vazken takes the listener on a journey to the Beginning, when light meant more than a sun ray, cf. “I am the Light of the World” – Jesus Christ. This is the first of a two-part podcast that explores the story of the Transfiguration (Gospel of St. Matthew, chapter 17)  in terms of light and focus. Comments on Exorcism from “Beyond Belief” and Fr. Albert (Jerry Springer with a collar?) – a mirror of society’s needs and wants. An end to the Space Shuttle Program comes as the HP-G60 is retired from the Next Step.

Next Step #162 – July 14, 2011

Making a vacation a true opportunity for recreation is a Christian calling during summer and year-round. Here’s a chance to enjoy the best of God’s world without leaving home. Dizzy Gillespie hit the jazz note and you got a buzz, now try some “Armenian Blues” for that extra walk through Palu and now America. Islam in America – how far? Mormons and the Christian Church – beginning a conversation on the Next Step. Tweeting your way through college.

Miracles from Another Vantage Point

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #161 – July 7, 2011

Find the Miracles in your life by taking a look from a different vantage point. Beyond the thunder and lightning, here is a challenge to view miracles from the vantage point of God – it’s more than the blind seeing and the paralyzed walking. It’s powerful. From his own personal health challenges, Fr. Vazken invites the listener to see the Power of Christ as in the healing process. From Preston Platform – a view of a son and his father, to a Catholic Church in Brussels – a group prays and meditates, the miracle cannot be prevented! Four years after the “7×77” conference, the message of Forgiveness points us to God’s Vantage Point. Armodoxy explained by Gor, Komitas and the Partridge.
