Being a "Living Icon", Loving One Another, Becoming a New Creation. W/ Fr John Vlahos Season 2 Ep 1  

Welcome to Season 2 of my show!  


You can find the link to my other podcast "Faithfully Feminine" on my website; https://www.adevotionalheart.com  


*Please forgive me; in the interview I said that Father John has a website, but I meant he has a bi-weekly program that can be accessed on this website (Orthodox Christian Network): https://myocn.net/living-icon-series-with-fr-john-vlahos/ "Life is all about relationships. Our relationship with God, and our relationships with our families, friends, enemies, and everyone in between. LIVING ICON is a bi-weekly program with Fr. John Vlahos that addresses our everyday challenges and opportunities of living in relationship with our neighbors. These broadcasts aim at offering practical and theological solutions for developing into spiritually healthy and mature Christians. The well-known saying goes, “In seeking a relationship, you have to find the right person.” The hope is that LIVING ICON will help you realize that it is not about finding the right person, as much as it is about you becoming the right person!"

Ep30 Julie Mastrine - From New Age to Orthodoxy - Spiritual Discernment: Relativism, Feminism, Polyamory, Media Bias, Porn

Welcome to EPISODE 30 of my channel and podcast: The Devotional Hearts Show!

Julie is an Orthodox woman whose life has been transformed by Eastern Orthodox Christianity in many ways!  She shares her journey with us in this interview and gives us insight into so many topics including the need for discernment when looking at the normalization of things like: New Age Culture, Relativism, Toxic Feminism, Polyamory, Media Bias, and Porn.  We also talk about the importance of objective morality and repentance.  We talk about so much more!

Ep29 Jacob Lyles - From Jehova's Witness, To Atheist, To Burning-Man Buddhist Hippie...to Orthodoxy!

Welcome to EPISODE 29 of my channel and podcast: The Devotional Hearts Show!

My guest is Jacob Lyles, also known as Chamomile (Conversations With Chamomile YT Channel).  This interview first aired on my YT channel in January of 2022.

Jacob is an Orthodox man whose life has been transformed by Eastern Orthodox Christianity in many ways!  He shares his journey with us in this interview and gives us insight into many topics including: the importance and value of being part of the Ancient Church, Divine Liturgy, Humility, and more!

Jacob is well-educated in many facets of politics, religion and philosophy, and he has traveled and experienced altered states with the use of psychedelic drugs.  In fact, his first experience with mushrooms was at Burning Man in 2012.  This experience set him on a course of events that would eventually lead him to a monastery in New Mexico and his first Divine Liturgy.

We also discuss the fact that although some who have used psychedelics have had profound results (including opening the heart and healing from depression for example), the ultimate Truth and healing is in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Please note: When my guests and I discuss psychedelics and New Age Spirituality, it is never to create any kind of fascination with them for our viewers.
