This is the explanation I've needed! And the part about working on your trauma alongside your spiritual warfare and it not being opposites but rather things that work together in a person is VERY important and I feel as if it's not talked about enough. As an Eastern Orthodox inquerer thank you for making this video and God bless you❤☦️

I'm glad that the excitement peaked. For me the real struggle is in the quiet moments and in my everyday life.

I, too, am a convert and I did not have any of these issues in my first year of being Orthodox. Why? Because the catechesis I went through was nearly three years long and its primary focus was on formation, not information. Orthodoxy is not a set of doctrines one can learn in a class; it is a way of life which has to be practiced in order to learn it.

Thank You Father I really needed this. I'm considering becoming Catechumen soon, but my family are of a protestant non denominational church and they are very against EO and would even go as far as to call it demonic. But I have been attending a Greek Orthodox Parish for a while now and have never felt more at home. Please pray for me
