94. How to Overcome Anger as a Christian | Thirty Steps to Heaven | The Ladder of Divine Ascent

How do you overcome anger as a Christian? Or the passions like malice and slander that flow from it? In order to overcome it, we have to get to its root: our hearts.

In this episode, we dive into Steps 8–12 of Thirty Steps to Heaven by Fr. Vassilios Papavassiliou, based on The Ladder of Divine Ascent by St. John Climacus. These steps focus on the spiritual passions that flow from pride and poison our relationships:

🤐 Meekness & Loss of Anger

🤐 Remembrance of Wrongs & Malice

🤐 Slander

🤐 Talkativeness & Silence

🤐 Falsehood

The desert fathers saw these not as minor flaws, but as powerful passions that choke out love and disrupt communion with God and others.

Join us as we uncover the path from inner chaos to spiritual peace, learning how to tame the tongue, purify the heart, and walk more freely in Christ’s love.
