This podcast is perfect. Dn. Atherholt hits the high points and his enunciation and voice make this program both informative and a pleasure to enjoy daily.
As a Protestant, I feel I was robbed of much of church history in my religious studies. This podcast is a great intro to faith history. For the last month or show, however, the podcast has been automatically marking new episodes of this podcast (and this podcast only) as read and removing them from my playlist. Might be something worth looking into on the AFR end…
I enjoy this podcast, I enjoy how the episodes are short and the message of the saints clear.
As a Protestant and a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ and the teachings of the early Church Fathers I am very thankful to Dn. Jerome Atherholt for bringing this show. I think he is very respectful in his speech to other denominations of Christianity and I respect that.
What we need in these times of the philosophy of evolution, rising numbers in Islam, churches being shut down and other threats to our Christian traditions is one church that can unite together and represent God in all we do, spreading the light of his son and word, Jesus through the gospels.
Thank you Dn. Jerome.
This has been my daily reminder of the “cloud of witnesses” in the morning. I’m grateful for this podcast, as it often helps me when I need a nudge in the right direction or even a good shove.
I started out liking this podcast, but issues with downloads (some still show up in 2019) kinda spited me on it. And then I realized in the three months I’ve been listening, I think there has been one woman saint. So I’m done. It’s 2020. Be better.
I eagerly wait for the next day’s Saint of the Day. No question, this is one of our greatest assets as Orthodox. To get my daily dose, I rely heavily on this.
Since this is a daily podcast it is the one I listen to the most. I like to end off with this one at night after reading and story time!! Often I'll let it go through the readings for the week. It's very nice to talk about with the kids.
I subscribe to the Franciscan "Saint of the Day" podcast. JPII referred to "both lungs of the Church [East and West] breathing." I would encourage all Orthodox and Byzantine Christians to subscribe to a Latin Rite saint of the day. I, for one, am a proud Latin Rite Catholic subscribing to this fine "oriental" podcast.
