<p>It is no secret that one of the biggest challenges our Church has faced for years is seeing active members of the youth slowly fall away and leave the Church. In this episode, we are joined by Rev. Fr. Jithin Zachariah from St. Gregorios Orthodox Church in Kansas City as we explore the various factors that contribute to this issue as well as how we can create an environment for our brothers and sisters in Christ to feel seen and hopefully one day return. </p>

<p>Let's be real -- being vulnerable is hard. Who can we be vulnerable with? How vulnerable can we be? Should we even bother trying to be vulnerable? Rev. Fr. Samuel Varghese joins us again as we explore this dynamic and hear some personal experiences from two MGOCSM alums.</p>

<p>In today’s increasingly secular society, being openly religious—especially as an Orthodox Christian—can feel isolating, countercultural, or even burdensome. In this episode, Dn. Reuben Thomas -- the original host of Chaiyya Chats -- joins us as we explore what it means to hold onto faith in a world that often encourages us to let go of it. How do we navigate American social life, friendships, and relationships with our parents without compromising our Orthodox identity? Can we reconcile our faith with the cultural pressures around us, or are we meant to stand apart? Join us as we unpack the tensions, challenges, and opportunities of living faithfully in today's day and age. </p><p><br /></p><p>Editor's Note: This episode was originally recorded in August of 2024. </p><p><br /></p>
