JED BREAKS BREAD Jonathan Edwards I am Pastor Jonathan Edwards. (No, not THAT Jonathan Edwards!). But like the greatest theological mind America has ever produced, I have a desire to know and understand God's Word and how to put it into practice. Many Christians have been accused of having a "dead orthodoxy" - that is, a life that doesn't live out the truths one believes. I want to challenge myself and fellow believers to have an orthopraxy as rich as our orthodoxy, that we might bring glory to God in all areas of life. Sacramental Living Michael Haldas, and Ancient Faith Ministries Sacramental Living is a series of podcasts by Michael Haldas about how to understand and live our Orthodox Christian faith in the context of real life and real world issues and continually grow closer to God.
