Season 1, Episode 5 on Lent, Love and Forgiveness with Axia Women and St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary

Dear listeners,On Monday, February 17th, 2025, I had the honor of doing my first in-person book event for Hunger for Righteousness at St. Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary in New York, an event in collaboration with Axia Women. On today’s podcast episode, I’m sharing the recording of that event for you.Fittingly for this week’s theme, we focused on forgiveness, as Coptic Orthodox, Ethiopian Orthodox and Eritrean Orthodox Christians began Great Lent, and the rest of the Oriental and Eastern Orthodox churches begin next Monday.I usually try to edit the transcripts for these episodes before sharing them, but unfortunately this week I have not had the opportunity, so please bear with the imperfect transcript generated by Substack here if you are using it. You can also read a summary of the talk and a reflection on it by Axia Women here.In addition to, of course, Hunger for Righteousness, I mentioned three additional books during this talk:A Children’s Guide to Confession From Red Earth: A Rwandan Story of Healing and Forgiveness by Denise UwimanaPutting Joy Into Practice: Seven Ways to Lift Your Church from the Holy Spirit by Phoebe Farag MikhailAs always, please share your thoughts in the comments below!Thank you for being part of this community,Phoebe Farag Mikhail Get full access to Being in Community, Phoebe Farag Mikhail's Newsletter at phoebefaragmikhail.substack.com/subscribe
