What is Salvation? Storm Trooping Evangelism vs Orthodox Christianity | Fr. Seraphim Holland
About this episode
Welcome back to the Let's be friends podcast! With us today is a new friend, Father Seraphim Holland, of St. Nicholas Orthodox Church.
You may know Father Seraphim Holland from his social media or YouTube channel, OrthodoxNet, or maybe, like me, he came into your algorithm when a Protestant woman named Sarah came to him on the streets of Athens, storm-trooping him with evangelism. Father Seraphim responded to her with such love, patience, knowledge, and kindness—he caught my attention, and I know many others.
In our chat we cover many of the initial questions new converts to orthodoxy have. We discuss the importance of baptism with chrismation, prayer and the power of the Jesus Prayer, what “works-based” means, how to pray, what it means to pray without ceasing, keeping your mind on Christ, an alternative view on Charlie Kirk, new heresies, baptismal theology, “nice Jesus,” the ecumenism movement, being a new creation in Christ, Protestantism vs. Orthodoxy, acquiring the spirit of peace, Saint Seraphim of Sarov, and what salvation is.
