Same. However God also put a lot of faithful Christians on my path. Real Christians. Not the lukewarm cultural marxist type. Great time to be a Christian. Things are moving rapidly.
I just left religious life. I was a Franciscan Friar for a year. Mainly a postulant. I understand that battle and now have to go back. The call was strong that Jesus wanted me back in the world to proclaim the Gospel. Please pray for me! God bless you ALL in JESUS'S mighty name
I hide my christian life at work for a wordly life to seem more favorable to my coworkers and my higher ups. But at home i speak like i am a Christian. I have done this for a long time that now it feels as though it is a habbit. I know my sin and my cowardice before God. I pray God gives me courage to stand and keep the faith once delivered to the saints in my work life. Thank you for the encouragement genuine encouragement you have givin me today. I watch your videos everyday before going to work because you help remind me that the things of this world are vain and our one persute should be for our savior and lord jesus christ.
I feel the same as you my friend, sometimes I feel I want to say something, but nothing comes out. At home is like my safe space because it just me and God. I don't want to fit in this world anymore. I'll be praying for you bro! 🙏
Thank God my job is tile laying. Simple, tolerable, manual labour! Sure, it's physically demanding and on occasion stressful because of deadlines, but generally, I love it!
Ive been struggling with my work this last month, feeling trapped and feeling as i deserve more , it left me with much resent , i did losd myself a bit and forgot to be grateful to God, pray for me my brothers and sisters so I can live in the moment and serve God with clear mind and more loving heart, as I pray for all of you 🙏
When my youngest daughter was 4yrs old I had to take a job that I had to stay at during the week and come home on weekends. Absolutely one of the most depressing weeks of my life. On the way home a bumper sticker on a car read "Wherever you are, be all there". I took it as a sign from God and still live by that motto today.
@@RaptureHead1993 I don't like your fundamentalist comment, implying that I violated our Lord's commandment. St Paul calls himself the spiritual father of the Corinthians. It clearly has a deeper meaning than simply not using the word father.
This promises to be an excellent presentation everyone. How do we separate the worldly pursuits, some of which are necessary to live, from our obligations to honour our Lord? I certainly do not have all the answers to this so I am looking forward to hearing some guidance.
I believe he's saying that you don't separate them, fundamentally. They are one in the same. Your worldly work provides an arena for your pursuit of God to manifest itself. Furthermore, he seems to make quite the claim that God has placed you in that job out of his love for you.
"... and I began to think how it was possible to pray without ceasing, since a man has to concern himself with other things also in order to make a living." This is from "The Way of the Pilgrim", which I highly recommend to those seeking answers to this question.
It is as though you read my mind Father. This is one of the biggest spiritual battles that I face & l can see from the comments that l am not alone. As l grow in my walk with Christ, l'm finding it harder & harder to fit in with the world around me, especially with regards to employment. I so look forward to hearing your thoughts on this matter. Thank you!
I am thankful that someone is addressing this because we have been exposed to this material, images, and the unnatural ungodly industry that puts this stuff out there. I was exposed to it at 7 yrs old and it can become quite addictive creating shame, guilt, and hopelessness. Thank God there is hope for one who has been afflicted for 56 yrs.
Father Spyridon, thank you for all that you do, have done, and will do in the name of our faith. Please never stop making these videos and spreading the good news. If, for whatever reason, you doubt your mission - know this. Only a few days ago I was going through a trial and my soul was in anguish. I had become addicted to sin through pornography and asked God for mercy and salvation. While going through this trial, God had directed me to you videos on lust and, through you, I was able to find the strength and the discipline to overcome sin. Do not misunderstand me, it was not easy. If fact, it was the hardest thing I have ever done. When I say my soul was in anguish, I felt as if God had taken me and held me down in the waters of baptism until my suffering was so great I wanted Him as much as a drowning man wants to breath just before he suffocates. Now I thank almighty God for the trial he has put me through as He has shown me the light, the truth, and the way; and I have begun holy catechism and am converting to Orthadox Christianity.
Prayer of St. Joseph the Hesychast “I thank Thee O Lord for all the good things Thou has given me, and for all the hardships that I suffer, glory to Thee O Lord glory to Thee” (Monastic Wisdom)
Thank you Father Spyridon for your strong message of repentance. Yes, our God really loves us - "It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness" (Lamentations 3:22-23)
Thank you Father 🙏🙏. As a catechumen for 4 months now, formally agnotic/atheist for 20 years, and also secondary school teacher for 17 years; you're message is a great reminder of the path we should seek to be on with humbleness and humility.
Father Spyridon thank you God in heaven, Jesus Christ, and the holy Spirit bless you. I'll pray for you and remember to pray more tomorrow on my hike here in the northern states woods
I have been struggling with this exactly. This has helped me tremendously. “We must perform every task, every job, fulfill every responsibility with the memory of Gods presence in our life.” 8:55 thank you Father Spyridon 🙏
Fr. Spyridon i plead for your wisdom at this moment.. I have watched your video about counterfit spirituality and the video about the religion of antichrist and i am uncertain how to progress spiritually and if my prayers for my loved ones salvations were in a selfish manner. I am worried the end times are nearing and i am pleading with our Father in heaven to save my loved ones and to look upon them before me. But im afraid that i have damaged my soul beyond help because i just recently opened my eyes to our Lords truth(im Serbian Orthodox),but i have also had great many sins in my past few years of my life and i feel like im undeserving of anything i plead for from our Father above... I hope your wisdom can slow my mind down from a race and help me to grow closer to our Father in the heavens.. Thank you,Fr. Spyridon.
No damage of the soul is beyond repair. Turn to the Divine Physician. Mary Magalene's situation would have made most people think they are beyond help, but she trusted in Christ. Ask for her intercession to turn to the Lord for healing and peace. May God bless you!
@@SILLY_BILLY_777thank you brother but i sometimes get the feeling that im undeserving of our heavenly Fathers love and forgivness because i fall into some sins on occasion.....(but my faith is not affected its just that my heart hurts cus of what i did/do...)
God bless each and everyone of you, we are living in tough times. We need God and his grace more than ever. Thank you Father Spyridon for everything you convey. Each video I watch I feel it in my heart because I know you speak the truth. Jesus Christ Son of God please forgive me for my sins for I am a sinner. Repent brothers and sisters ☦
The angle from which every day mundane work can become meaningful truly is to "do all things unto the Lord." Whether seemingly glamorous or trivial, everything pales in comparison to the potential meaning and life that can be found in working unto Him.
Teacher I thank you for your words! I thank God your heart is healed. Eat healthy sir! Adam and Eve ate very healthy God bless you. Howdy from Texas 🤠 You are my hero
I often think, God became perfect man and defeated hell and death and rose from the dead and sits at the right hand of the father so I can type for the main part of the day at work? Really? Thank you for sharing a perspective that gives meaning to my mundane life at work.
Most Holy Trinity, save us all by Thy grace Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me Most Holy Theotokos save us all Baptiser of Christ, intercede for us all All Saints of God, intercede for us all Archangels of God, intercede for us all
My job, guitar lesson teacher, is a ministry. I get to help people from all walks of life play their favorite songs on guitar, and sometimes help in other aspects of life, too. And I get to witness sometimes, too, they know what I believe. Guitar students and gigs pay the bills, truly I am blessed!!!
My personal experience working in London is that there is an antichristian attitude that permeates virtually all the official establishments. its almost like you have to hide your faith to be considered part of the team.
I work at a very popular grocery store, customers and coworkers are very secular/ worldly and it’s even encouraged by management. Hard work is no longer valued it’s more about the acceptance and supporting this culture..After 7 years there I’m considering leaving over this because it’s overwhelming but I’m trying to stand my ground with my beliefs and power through the constant persecution and disrespect daily. My preacher told me to stick with it and outlast it.
I struggle with this every day. My career is so stressful and i deal with so many people who dont believe in God and act like it.
Same. However God also put a lot of faithful Christians on my path. Real Christians. Not the lukewarm cultural marxist type. Great time to be a Christian. Things are moving rapidly.
Keep the faith; pray for them
Me too. I know it's difficult but let's stay focused on Our Lord Jesus Christ and Blessed Mother 🙏

This is something I sincerely struggle with. Dealing with co-workers and bosses poses a spiritual warfare in and of itself.
