Camp St. Raphael 2012 - Session One, Part OneFr. Joseph took his recorder to Camp only to find that it . . . aged him? Er, the campers' songs aged him? Maybe he took his recorder—and his age—to camp?

God’s a Steeler, Tebow’s Out, and Orthodixie Takes a BowWhat caused the Steeler's dynasty in the seventies? (Of course it was Fr. Joseph.) What caused 35,000 folks to pray the "Our Father" in a football stadium? (Of course it was the Supreme Court.) Tim Tebow caused quite a stir in the NFL. (Only the Perfect makes perfect.) And Fr.

The Kingdom of God? You’re Going to Hell! (Blogs)What's the difference between Orthodox Christians' participation on the internet and, say, secular scoundrels? Sometimes, it seems, not much.

Lickety Split ‘Splainin’ OrthodoxyStudies show that no matter how many people get on an elevator, riders move around to allow the same amount of space between themselves and each of the others. Some elevator riders stare at the numbers, some continue conversations, and others start superficial ones. Uh oh, someone just asked about Orthodoxy! You've got about 30 seconds (and a $100 prize riding on it); what do you say? |

Christ Is Ascended! (Huh?)It always comes on a Thursday and, after a familiar dialogue of forty days, it always leaves one speechless (so to speak). In this episode from 2007, Fr. Joseph looks at the "Hi's" and "Hello's" of the Feasts. |

Midnight In The Elfin Garden Of Paschal PajamasDue to a knock on the noggin, Fr. Joseph finds himself fast-forwarding toward Pascha and holding hands with a green elf at midnight in a church where everybody is clothed in their pajamas and the iconostasis has been replaced with ... dirty laundry? |

No Poo In My Hood!Due to circumstances beyond his control, Fr. Joseph recorded this podcast from his bathroom. This is a true statement and has nothing to do with the title of this episode (which, thanks to St. Paul, includes a bad word seldom uttered politely). |

A Priest QuitsFr. Joseph solicited podcast ideas with the premise: "A priest, married with children, quits -- just walks away from the ministry. Why?" Some answers may surprise you. (By the way, how do we Orthodox define crazy?) |

An Orthodixie In That Toddlin’ Town -Part 1Can you imagine for a moment that all this revealed religion stuff is really, really real?

| Sep 21, 2010 |
Truly Odd, Truly [Pac] ManFr. Joseph's displeasure with Stephen Hawking's recent statement about God not being necessary for Creation is akin to his dislike of sweet red BBQ sauce.

Bill’s Bible Bait & Tackle CalendarDid you ever try to find something even remotely Orthodox in your local superstore, gift shop, or bible book store? Chances are, you'll find all manner of things purporting to be spiritual, religious, new-fangled and Christian -- though nary even a wall calendar reflecting the Ancient Faith. Besides, what should you do when you do find one? |

Aidan’s Song - A Year In The Life Of A Parish PriestOn this special edition of the Orthodixie Podcast, Fr Joseph interviews the author of the new Conciliar Press book "Aidan's Song - A Year in the Life of a Parish Priest". The book has been compared to the "Far Side" cartoon and the TV show "Married With Children" -- but nothing quite compares to Fr Aidan Wilcoxson's singing a rather surprising number on this very podcast.

American [Orthodox Bishops] Top 40As many of you know, an historic gathering took place this past week in New York City: All of the Canonical Orthodox Bishops (at least a goodly number of them) met to discuss matters which pertain to the Church in the Americas. The Orthodixie Podcast had a Man on the Street for the proceedings but, as this podcast is only updated about once a week,some of the information you are about to hear may seem contrary to other reports, or it may be a bit dated, or, frankly, it may be flat out untrue. (But have fun identifying the snippets of music in the podcast.) |

We Came, We Saw, We ConvertedA blatantly commercial message for Fr. Joseph Huneycutt's new book, "We Came, We Saw, We Converted" (Conciliar Press). It's a humorous look at a book that takes a humorous look at Orthodoxy. But what else would you expect from the Orthodixie? |

Catechizing From The Barber’s Chair In BeaumontIt's not often that one gets scalped by a Christian, rarer still is when a priest willingly airs his failures (of "Biblical proportion").

This episode of the Orthodixie podcast eavesdrops on some arguments concerning Scripture and Tradition at St Michael's in Beaumont, Texas. |

Ewnay Yearay At Bill’s Bible, Bait & TackleDid you ever try to find something even remotely Orthodox in your local superstore, gift shop, or bible book store?

Spooky-Doxy At The Stop-n-DropWith the help of a prophecy of the fourth or fifth or fourteenth -- or fifteenth -- century, one thing's for certain: We are one day closer to the End of Time today than we were yesterday.

St. Ephraim’s PrayerWith the advent of the Great Fast – Lent – Fr Joseph takes a serious look at a familiar prayer written by St Ephraim the Syrian in the 4th century. St Ephraim’s prayer is a regular part of the Orthodox Christian's prayer "diet" during the Great Fast of Lent. It may also be said throughout the year as part of one’s prayer rule. This Lenten meditation is taken from the book DEFEATING SIN – Overcoming Our Passions and Changing Forever (published by Regina Orthodox Press). |

The Healing of YuckMuch like the pains of labor endured by a mother bearing a child, sometimes our journey back to healing is a painful one.

Two Miles ‘til PaschaFr Joseph reveals one of his Lenten pet peeves: “Do the best you can.” Do the best you can? Now brothers and sisters, that’s a recipe for failure. Heck, sinner that I am, the best I can is what has got me to where I am! We don’t give an inexperienced bunch of players a ball – with no practice whatsoever – and say, “Okay, it’s game time. Do the best you can.” No. We practice and practice and practice. We fall down, get back up; struggle to do better. |

Reality: The First Step Toward SalvationThis week, Fr Joseph gets real: "The thing about Confession is that it is natural. That is, it is Real. Almost everything else we do with our sin is false and unnatural. We punish ourselves, justify our actions, and hide. Yet, in Confession -- in opening ourselves to God the Light -- we expose the hypocrisy of our double life. In truth, we've been living a lie. Without Confession, Absolution, and Reconciliation we live a lie before God and Man as if it were Reality. In reality, no one is fooled -- not our neighbor, not ourselves. And, let's be real, certainly not God." |

Without Love, It’s All Just Peas and CarrotsMiss Jane gets a tongue lashing, Mr. Bodine speaks in tongues. Things go dark as Fr. Joseph interviews Dr. Indadark. In the end, lacking the main ingredient, it's all just peas and carrots. Suffice it to say: Love covers a multitude of podcasts. |
