From Dawn to Doctrine
After extensive study of Christianity and as a follower of Jesus Christ, I am launching a podcast aimed at new believers, with the goal of educating both new and seasoned Christians. I will clearly explain the “whys” behind core Christian beliefs, addressing a gap in modern churches, particularly in the West. Many churches focus on the positivity of following Jesus, diluting doctrine to attract attendees rather than nurturing deep faith. This creates lukewarm Christians who often leave more confused than before. Church should be a place to learn about creation, sin, Jesus’ redemption, and God’s ultimate victory, not a cult of positivity. On this podcast we aim to fill the gap!

Icon Corner: The Story of Holy Great-Martyr Varus of Egypt
Welcome, dear listeners, to Icon Corner – the podcast where we dust off the golden frames of holy icons, peer into their painted eyes, and uncover the living stories they whisper to our souls. I’m your host, Father Elias, a humble pilgrim of the faith, speaking to you from the quiet flicker of candlelight in my cell at St. Catherine’s Monastery on Sinai. Here, where the desert meets the divine, icons aren’t just art; they’re windows to eternity, portals where heaven brushes earth.Tonight, we turn our gaze to an icon that gleams with the quiet fire of conversion: the Holy Great-Martyr Varus of Egypt.
