- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 มิ.ย. 2024
- Fr. John Strickland is an Orthodox Priest, teacher, and podcast host of Paradise and Utopia on Ancient Faith Radio. He is also the author of several books including: The Making of Holy Russia, The Age of Division, and The Age of Paradise. He joins John Heers today discussing the historical roots of the secular dimension. What was the world view before it included a secular "space?" And how has the secular space changed from it's inception to now?

"Why Are We Talking About Rabbits?" takes you beyond rhetorical "rabbits" and the shallow approach that the media and most thinkers today take to examine contemporary cultural phenomena. Using theology, history, philosophy and years of travel in Mali, the Republic of Georgia, Haiti, and beyond, John Heers offers a refreshing take to how we got to where we are now. WAWTAR is all about talking about those heavy things… lightly.

Brilliant conversation. Strickland's work is super helpful to understand Western History, and also helping us with a way forward. I've recently finished all his four volumes and recommend them to everyone!
Slowly but surely yours is becoming one of my favorite podcasts. I am 2 years 3 months into our Orthodox path, chrismated one year. I am loving everything about Orthodoxy as well as so many of the people.
And what a great surprise to find another roots reggae lover! I have albums going back to the mid 70s when I began collecting them. Also, having not been raised in church, it was my first Biblical introduction. Absolute ZERO nihilism, even though I did not know what that word was at the time.
This is a FANTASTIC discussion!
Let us live in the Old World!♥️☦️ We are in the world but not of this world. Blessed weekend brother in Christ ☦️
I’m very excited for this interview!
I'm writing this comment before I have listened to the episode, but the longer I'm Orthodox, the more I believe that "secular space" is a complete illusion. It's a prideful distinction.
This episode was dense! Going to have to re-listen to take it all in.
Amazing interview. I listened to the podcast but wanted to comment this somewhere 😁
Seriously appreciated! Thank you!
