Searchers of the Lost: orthodox-catholic podcast
Welcome to the Searchers of the Lost podcast! Search for the Lord with us in this orthodox catholic podcast
Join us every two weeks for new episodes.
As a searcher, I am convinced that there are so many fellow searchers out there who desire to dig deeper and search harder for the Lord (Matt.7:7), even as our mother did when Jesus was busy about the Father's buisness in the temple. My journey has been long, difficult, blessed, traversing various Protestant denominations, Orthodoxy and Catholicism, and I am positive it has not ended. Thus, this podcast is Christian, catholic, and orthodox, and everyone who loves these things should feel at home here. This priest and those I bring onto this podcast love Jesus and His Church, and our hope is to invite others into charitable and intelligent dialogue and debate, that one day we "may all be one" (John 17:21).
Remember when commenting: “In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity.”

In this episode of Searchers of the Lost, we journey into one of the most profound and beautiful teachings of the early Church: Theosis, or deification. What does it mean to “become gods by grace”? How do the Eastern and Western traditions understand this mystery of union with God?
Drawing from the writings of the Church Fathers, the Desert Ascetics, and both Orthodox and Catholic theology, we explore how Theosis is not a fringe idea, but the very purpose of our existence. This is not moral improvement or self-help — it is transformation by divine love, through the sacraments, prayer, and a life of repentance.
Whether you're Catholic or Orthodox, cradle or convert, this episode invites you to rediscover the ancient Christian path of transfiguration. Join us as we search not just for knowledge, but for holiness — to become, as St. Athanasius said, “what Christ is by nature, by grace.”
