Sadly I have not been to church for many years, I had no idea that today is the Feast of the Cross, yesterday I learned that I am dealing with a life threatening disease, and today I realized that this is my cross. I asked myself what does that mean. A couple of hours later this video popped up. So timely! It would be nice to receive spiritual counsel from you Father if you have time.
@@WittyComm3nter I do my priest is the highest, and he is sitting at the right of majesty on high, because He has finished the work for my salvation. and it was My father who sent Him. As He was here on earth he said not to call no man father for we only have one!
Humility flows from Fr. Spyridon. I am reminded that I need more humility. I often think...what would Fr. Spyridon say in a partidular situation...with his heart full of humility. Thank you, Father. Lord have mercy on us.
He is very helpful teacher but before we ask what would father do or what would St. Paul do, what would my Lord Jesus do as He would have in His Word? 🙏🏾
Thank you Fr. Spyridon for your channel. You’ve been a great blessing to me and my wife as we’ve started to study Orthodox theology. I was a Protestant my whole life until I started to study Church history around 3 years ago. At first I was on the road to Roman Catholicism but ultimately the Lord has truly led me and my family to Orthodoxy. I’m now in catechumen classes with my Greek Orthodox parish here in Alaska. Thank you for being apart of our journey home! God bless.
I've been going to Divine Liturgy on Sunday for the past 5 straight weeks. I watched online for about 7 weeks straight before I worked up the courage. Lol. I started inquirer's class this past Saturday. This has lead me to doing morning and evening prayers daily. I talked to the priest last Sunday about what the steps were to look into going further to Chrismation. There is nothing quite like the Orthodox Church, it is the one true Church.
The people of Ukraine have suffered as a result of US involvement in their civil and religious life, all for the sake of trying to take more territory back from Russian supporting nations. I pray you find a parish where you can draw closer to Christ. Also, the Kiev caves are a place you should visit.
@@FatherSpyridonROCOR Thank you for your answer, Father. Unfortunately, it's a bit more complicated, and we suffer both from US and RF involvements (as well as from other big powers) and intrusions. For some reason, Rus'-Ukraine is condemned to suffer much through the history. Thank you, Father. I visited them as a child and definitely will visit them again in the nearest future after your advice.
@@ihtac The Russians-turned-Ukrainians by the bolsheviks / satanists suffer from Russian involvement? So the Russians are to be condemned for "meddling" in the own lands because the enemies of took Russians and turned them into something else / weaponized them against the rest of Russia? Like all Bolshevik, Phanar and Jesuit creations, the Ukrainian nation is completely fake. It is of Satan, as is the "Ukrainian Orthodox Church". The Russians were baptised in Kiyv. Ukraine was the military frontier of the Russian Tsardom that was populated by Serbs soldiers. These Serbs eventually assimilated and became part of the Russian nation. These Russians were then turned into Ukrainians by the Bolsheviks. That is the truth. We await the coming of the Russian Tsar; the Great Prince sent by God himself (Daniel 12:1) who will be the only the Antichrist will fear, and a rebirth of Holy Orthodox Russia for a short while before the end.
I just saw your comment and your answer to Father. How are you? Did you get to a church? I have friends at church from there.. So terrible. So terrible. ☦📿💝📿☦
That was a lovely and humorous ending Fr. Spyridon! I find it so refreshing when an Orthodox Fr engages into light humor. To me, not only the green screen paranoia is put to rest for those who questioned you on that, but also the wrong notion I've always had, as a Catholic, that my Orthodox brothers and sisters were way too serious and averse to "lighting up things a bit". My heart is filled with joy after watching the PS ending! God bless you Fr Spyridon. Gustavo, Boston , MA
Leave the religion behind is what Taking up the Cross means. The Jews that were hellenized were religious and pious but they did understand what living amongst the impure meant, the spiritual dead. Walking the true narrow path of spiritual purification is what Christ called us unto. And infant baptism doesn't cleanse a believer, only His Spirit baptism does this. Adult baptism is what accompanies the Confession of faith in Yeshua the Messiah, as God the Son. Acts 2:38 -40 (Confession of sins to a priest is merely fellowshipping with another member of the body of Christ that understands what sin means , and that would mean that the sin against the Holy Spirit, He has been grieved) Therefore take up your Cross and leave sin behind. Repent and sin no more. The orthodox believers that have persevered will naturally assert the correct doctrine from the true Scriptural context and interpretation.

However I recently came across your teachings you have so kindly provided in the woods and fields and I have forwarded some of them to my family and friends. Thank you for your teachings. Refreshing to hear truth. Some still preach truth here too, few and far between....sadly.

Pretty awesome at the end of video the walk about . I have always been amazed by the sounds and wondered curiously about the area that was so beautiful sometimes even rainy!♥️☦️♥️
Thank you Father, you are without question a blessing, and a true light on the false light place that is the internet. May the Lord grant you Eternal Life. ☦
Thank you for your videos from Santa Monica, CA. Your video "The Religion of Antichrist" made a deep impression on me as I've had similar thoughts, your words confirmed that I'm not nuts nor alone in thinking and sensing what's to come. God bless you.
Lord help us, it’s sad to hear that some are in such a scared state as to doubt the authenticity of Father Spyridon’s videos. We gotta put down our phones and turn off the ‘news’ more. Thank you for all of your words of encouragement Father. Christ truly dwells in you, it’s clear to see ☦️
While I hear you, it's always good to use our God given discernment!! Not all teachers are out here teaching truth! I find Father to be spot on, at least what I've heard! But I don't blindly trust every teacher I come across. In fact, as a new Christian, I usually run things by my more seasoned mentors!
Lovely birdsong! "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden in Christ in God". Colossians 3/2,3.
What a man of honour. I sadly suffer from great hatred, my generation and simply our time. But this man, Father Spyridon, puts a wide smile on my face and fuels my day with hope. May God Bless you, Father☦
Your light hearted and humorous response to your critics at the end, validates what your speech was about. Love Humility and Trust in Christ while carrying your cross conquers all. May our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ always bless you and strengthen you father Spyridon.
I wake up every morning, and listen to your videos while drinking my coffee. I’ve never been orthodox , but my heart is drawn to orthodox teaching. Thank you for sharing what you do.
Father, I must confess, I watched quite a few of your videos lately and I thought “there’s no way the animals could be that loud, he’s just adding them in post-production, I’m probably just listening to some crazy scamming British guy on TH-cam! “ 😂 I had to do a real double take at the end of this video when you saw fit to show us your sheep. In truth, Fr. Bailey, your videos have helped me immensely lately. They greatly inspired a speech I made at my brothers wedding. I wanted to gently remind everyone of the centrality of Christ to our loves and the Cross to our lives, and your videos helped inspire me and my words.
Making the sign of the cross with sincerity burn the demons. 10:15 mark. I had no idea. I pray a hedge of protection around my family, home, and classroom. I make the sign of the cross ✝️. I am wielding a powerful weapon and only just now realized it.
Thank you for a very instructive video. I cannot believe some people thought you made up the sheep sounds!! Its wonderful to hear nature in your talks. I know you are in Shropshire, I know some parts if it. God bless.
I'm struggling so much right now. It's so hard to find meaning in it, and this has helped. I have been hated by those that were supposed to love me for a long time, and in turn it spiraled into such self-loathing. I know I need to keep my focus on God and let His love be enough, but i am very often weak.
I pray the Lord Jesus envelops you with his genuine and real love. I also add that I've struggle many a time with self loathing but it's just a tactic of the devil. If we are self-focused we will only see our flaws. That is why we must always be Christ-focused because Jesus Christ washes us white as snow. We are no longer standing condemned! We can glory in Christ alone. Amen!!
I was in your position for a long time. Then I heard that Christianity has nothing to do with our feelings and everything to do with honouring God. Wow! A light bulb went off. I was instantly released from all victim mentality.
There is freedom & liberation at the foot of the cross of Jesus Christ and the blood that was shed on that cross!!!! Cry at His feet, give Him all the pain & suffering you’ve gone through (he’s knows all about that!) he knows what it’s like to be rejected! He knows what it feels like to be persecuted & not loved! HE KNOWS YOUR HEART, now let Him into every part of your heart! When we surrender everything to him and allow him to shut his light in the dark hurt places of our heart he takes those dead things, he takes the sin that is a result of years of hurt, pain and suffering and he make something beautiful out of it if you allow Him! He did it for me and I know he will do it for you. It was when I began surrendering all to Him that I saw the fruit of doing that. “The fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Galatians 5:22-23. My love to you dear sister In Christ!!
This is the concept I struggle with most. Because it is so easy to pervert into self-loathing and confusion. I struggle to keep my mind on what's important versus feeling guilty for wanting anything at all from my human experience.
God bless Fr. Spyridon, what a wonderful video. I just ask God the strenght to accept humble, patience and with love the cross to follow him if i not carry my cross then im not following my tender saviour.
This was red letter yesterday in Serbian Orthodox calendar,very important to not work on this day (unless you really have to)and reflect more on our spiritual battle
Thank you father , of lately not knowing I gave up on all the hypocrisy of this world I'm trying to leave as close,as possible to the will of God ,God bless you I wish our priest in our church would give such a beautiful talk.🙏🙏🙏
We do live in a world of deception, but you my brother in Christ are the genuine article. All a person has to do is let the Holy Spirit confirm truth to them. I never once even thought you were not being truthful with your background, of trees, grass, the woods and the sounds of sheep. It all creates a beautiful setting for you to deliver GOD'S Word. Peace and Blessings to you! 🙏 We love listening to your GOD Inspired videos. Thank you for them.
That was very kind of you to show us around at the end. I hope those who needed to know it is all real have their minds at peace now. May all of us have peace as walk in a hard and troubling world. To God be the glory,
Amen, Amen, Amen, Fr Spyridon. Thank you for this faithful, truthful post. God bless you. Enjoyed your "PS". Funny that some would think the sounds & scenery were fake! :O)
I had wondered if anyone had complained about the sheep sounds and natural surrounding. The message is going over their heads. They do not trust in their own senses. God bless YOU, Father Spyridon.
I did not realize sheep bleating traveled so far! I have always assumed they were just off screen. Thank you Fr. Spyridon, for all of your videos. You are a testament to what true faith looks like in today's sickly world. May God bless you, and have mercy us all.

The "P.S." at the end of the video was great. I, too, have watched some of your videos and thought "he's got to be in front of a greenscreen" because of how utterly _still_ everything was in the background. You've chosen a truly peaceful location to film, and we're blessed to have that stillness as we listen and consider your words. God bless you, Fr Spyridon.
I enjoy your teaching. You have been blessed with Wisdom.... and thank you for the tour. I love the sounds of the peaceful forest while you're teaching. God bless you.
as a Roman Catholic , I really enjoy watching and Learning from you ! you are truly humble Priest . God Bless you Father

It was when I began surrendering all to Him that I saw the fruit of doing that. “The fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Galatians 5:22-23. My love to you dear sister In Christ!!
So wonderful to see you smile & chuckle!
Thank you for sharing this with us.
This is the concept I struggle with most. Because it is so easy to pervert into self-loathing and confusion. I struggle to keep my mind on what's important versus feeling guilty for wanting anything at all from my human experience.
God bless Fr. Spyridon, what a wonderful video. I just ask God the strenght to accept humble, patience and with love the cross to follow him if i not carry my cross then im not following my tender saviour.
Beautiful message

Thank you father , of lately not knowing I gave up on all the hypocrisy of this world I'm trying to leave as close,as possible to the will of God ,God bless you I wish our priest in our church would give such a beautiful talk.🙏🙏🙏
Keep speaking the truth, beautiful place!!
Thank You! Fr Spyridon when you speak l learn so much from you!
We do live in a world of deception, but you my brother in Christ are the genuine article. All a person has to do is let the Holy Spirit confirm truth to them. I never once even thought you were not being truthful with your background, of trees, grass, the woods and the sounds of sheep. It all creates a beautiful setting for you to deliver GOD'S Word. Peace and Blessings to you! 🙏 We love listening to your GOD Inspired videos. Thank you for them.
God Bless and keep you Father Spyridon.
Thank you Father Spyridon, God Bless You.
Loved the extra! God bless you always.
That was very kind of you to show us around at the end. I hope those who needed to know it is all real have their minds at peace now. May all of us have peace as walk in a hard and troubling world. To God be the glory,
Your Beautiful FATHER !!!
Thank-You ...As Always Well Said ...
Amen, Amen, Amen, Fr Spyridon. Thank you for this faithful, truthful post. God bless you.
Enjoyed your "PS". Funny that some would think the sounds & scenery were fake! :O)
Thank you Father. My priest was happy to hear that I watch your videos. I sure do need patience in suffering. I complain a lot. Thanks for this video.
God bless you for your explanation. I needed to hear this at this time. I am not orthodox but this resonated deeply. 🙌🤲🙏🇨🇦

Hitting the nail on the head. Controlling the passions of the flesh!!
"Let's touch one of these trees and go for a walk" Father I love you, I hope we can walk together someday
I had wondered if anyone had complained about the sheep sounds and natural surrounding.
The message is going over their heads. They do not trust in their own senses.
God bless YOU, Father Spyridon.
Glory to God for these words of salvation. Thank you
I did not realize sheep bleating traveled so far! I have always assumed they were just off screen.
Thank you Fr. Spyridon, for all of your videos. You are a testament to what true faith looks like in today's sickly world. May God bless you, and have mercy us all.
Father Spyridon Glory to God this video was a blessing. The end of your video was beautiful thank you for sharing such a glorious place with us all. ☦️💕
That has to be the best , most helpful, the most crucial, of all sermons, very much needed for myself and relevant for our current time.
Thanks be to God, and thank you Father Spyridon
True wisdom is way may more valuable than any earthly items.
Good Morning. I am , Anglican, but I learn so much from this Blessed . Thank you
@@olgapedinski6115 I agree totally what you say. It was a bad day in our church history when it happened. Maybe they did not read Apostle Paul s teachings.
@@olgapedinski6115 Exactly as I find myself and you spoke for me so well, a highly conservative Anglican who is now devoutly and sincerely Eastern Orthodox. I agree with all that you say. Glory to God in the Highest! God bless you!
Loving all you do sir! I'm truly more connected to Him after watching your videos. I spent about 16 years as an instrumentalist worship teams. God's words are becoming more understandable since watching you. Thank you! 😊
I hope you continue to make these videos father it's helping me
God bless you. Your videos are helpful to me. THANK YOU.
Please keep posting. We need so much to hear your wisdom. God bless you. 🙏🏼
The "P.S." at the end of the video was great. I, too, have watched some of your videos and thought "he's got to be in front of a greenscreen" because of how utterly _still_ everything was in the background. You've chosen a truly peaceful location to film, and we're blessed to have that stillness as we listen and consider your words. God bless you, Fr Spyridon.
I enjoy your teaching. You have been blessed with Wisdom.... and thank you for the tour. I love the sounds of the peaceful forest while you're teaching. God bless you.
I didn't think the forest was fake, but I was curious to see more of where Fr Spyridon is filming from. Thanks for sharing!
I thought of Bach’s “Pastorale” when you showed us the farm. Beautiful! Thank you.
Us in the world really appreciate when monks and priests post these videos 🙏🏼
TY Father, I always pray for you and look forward to your teaching....may Christ our God continue to use you.
