In the fourth and final lecture in the series Living by Trust, Fr. Joe delves deeply into what it means to have a trusting relationship with God and with one another: the line from the Prophecy of Habakkuk “The just shall live by faith” could just as easily have been written “The righteous shall live by trust.” Trust, Fr. Joe reminds us, is a risky venture; it requires struggle to grow in trust in God rather than leading a dark and suspicion-filled life. God is trustworthy, even as we ourselves must be - life is not about being “successful”
but being faithful and trustworthy. The definition of trust, and of living a Christian life, is to do what is just, to love loyally, and to walk humbly with your God

The late V. Rev. Dr. Joseph J. Allen (1943-2020) was a prolific author, professor, theologian, and director of theological and pastoral education for the Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese. He was also the pastor of St. Anthony Orthodox Church in Bergenfield, New Jersey, for over 53 years. Fr. Joseph’s unique storytelling ability, combined with a proficiency not only in pastoral theology—his doctoral field—but also in homiletics, comes through in his lectures, which were recently recovered, edited, and digitized from a long-forgotten set of cassette tapes.
