    Beautiful Stories
    Blown away by the recent interview with Kassiane! What an eloquent and engaging woman! Thank you for highlighting her work and the ways she is using her gifts to labor for the salvation of her beloved people. Her passion for bringing Orthodoxy to her homeland and culture is obvious, may those labors be blessed!
  • Chris Snitchler
    Phenomenal
    I have literally never felt drawn to write a review for a podcast, but season 2 has been phenomenal so far. The most recent episode with Kassiane in particular was both mind blowing and motivating, and I can’t wait to hear more from her work

    Infantile giggles
    Such a shame. Important good content ruined every minute by the host’s childish giggling, in this and every other episode I shave listened to.
  • PriestRaphael
    Awesome Guests!
    Engagement, indeed. Fr Andrew has thus far managed to enlist some wonderful thinkers and “doers” to encourage our connection and interaction with our culture. I look forward to more!
  • ElliotToman
    The Joe Rogan of Orthodoxy
    This is just what the doctor ordered: Long, free-flowing conversations on topics relevant to Orthodoxy and the world of historically-informed Christianity in general. I sincerely hope that Father Damick’s new role for Ancient Faith will provide him abundant time to keep coming out with new episodes regularly.
  • Landsperson
    Isn’t it irenic?
    One episode in and this is already shaping up to be a go to podcast. Fr. Andrew engages with an irenic spirit and the lack of trying to trap guests with “gotchas” makes for free flowing conversation.
