Pemptousia FM: The Benefits of having a Father Confessor
20 May 2015Is temptation the same as committing the sin?
Archimandrite Christodoulos (Papadeas), the Ierokyrix (Preacher/Confessor) of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Atlanta, talks with Fr. Chris Metropulos and answers this question and many more, such as:
Do you know how to find a spiritual father?
Do we have to confess everything?
How do we confess our sins?
This interview could open you heart to the gift of forgiveness and possibly inspire a desire to be relieved of your burdens through the holy sacrament of confession.
But first, we look at the age-old question: “Why was Jesus baptized if He was without sin?” We have a few words from Fr. Barnabas Powell, from his podcast Beauty Will Save the World, on the sacrament of baptism. Was Jesus being restored in His baptism, or was His creation? Listen in.
