"How do we do good works in the world and not lose our reward?"
How do individuals find strength in their journey to sobriety? In the latest episode of 'On the Battlefield', Fr. Joseph Collins and Fr. Michael Marcantoni tackle the paradox of doing good deeds in secret versus letting your light shine before others. They explore how these seemingly contradictory teachings of Christ relate to our everyday actions and the role of grandiosity in our lives.
With a blend of Orthodox spirituality and addiction recovery tools, the Fathers discuss how ego can interfere with genuine service and how to avoid falling into the trap of seeking validation from others. The conversation delves into practical advice on maintaining a spiritual life that honours God without slipping into self-aggrandisement. Fr. Joseph and Fr. Michael draw parallels between spiritual teachings and the path to sobriety, emphasising the importance of repentance, prayer, and genuine friendships in overcoming personal shortcomings.
You'll also hear about the significance of Lent as a time for self-reflection and growth, with Fr. Michael sharing his own experiences of navigating the complexities of intention and action. This episode is a thoughtful reflection on how to balance humility and visibility in both spiritual and everyday life. So, are you ready to examine your own motives and make meaningful changes? Tune in to learn how to combat life's challenges with grace and authenticity.
