The commission given by Christ is to preach the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven. As Orthodox Christians in the English-speaking world, how have we been doing? Where are we now? And where do we go from here? At the Ancient Faith Ministries 2022 Content Creator Conference, Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick shares both his critiques and vision for what Orthodox Christian evangelists, educators, and culture creators are and can be doing as citizens of the Kingdom of Christ.

Stubborn. Disobedient. Hard to manage. Our disposition towards Christ can often be described using the archaic word "froward." Although the word appears only once in the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, the tension it expresses runs throughout his writing: outward defiance set against a deeper, enduring faithfulness. Fr. Andrew explores a few examples from The Lord of the Rings and Tolkien's wider legendarium. This talk was given at Doxacon 2019, at St. Paul Antiochian Orthodox Church in Emmaus, Pennsylvania.

Thirty thousand Christian denominations. Thirty thousand opinions on the true nature of the divine. In this lecture, Fr. Andrew challenges us to sift through and critically examine the claims of each through the lens of the early Church. In so doing, we will discover which is the true church of Christ. This talk was given on February 2, 2010, at Penn State University in University Park, Pennsylvania.

Who is the priest of your parish? The answer may surprise you. In the second part of this two-part retreat lecture series, Fr. Andrew delves into the essence of service from an Orthodox Christian perspective.

Building on St. Paul's four-point exhortation in 2 Timothy 4:5, Fr. Andrew unpacks what it means to live the Christian life. This talk was given on September 22, 2018, at St. Elias Antiochian Orthodox Cathedral in Ottawa, Canada.
