Everyday Orthodox is Ancient Faith’s new live listener call-in show, hosted by Elissa Bjeletich Davis. We’ll be sharing the personal stories of everyday Orthodox people—from the movers and shakers to the prosphora bakers! How well do we know the people beside us at liturgy? Every one of them has a story to tell, whether it’s a love story, a war story, a comedy or a tragedy, a tale of an immigrant’s struggle or a heartfelt conversion story. The Church is a community of human beings with unique personal narratives and perspectives, and the more we understand and appreciate one another, the better unified our community can be. We’re connecting the members of the Body of Christ, by exploring the stories of the Everyday Orthodox, and we hope you’ll join us by listening, and by calling in with questions.
