Highly Reccommended!

I highly recommend The Orthodox Project website. TOP was created and hosted by my good friend Joel Smith who is a part of St Ignatius Orthodox Church in Franklin, Tennessee. To the left you will see a picture of Deacon Michael Hyatt who hosts the teaching podcasts on TOP. Deacon Michael has been Orthodox for over 20 years and is also a part of St. Ignatius. He is the CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishers, the oldest and largest Christian publisher in the world. Through Deacon Michael's leadership, Thomas Nelson Publishers undertook the historic project of gathering and editing the scriptures from the original Septuagint in order to publish The Orthodox Study Bible.

CLICK ON THE PICTURE ABOVE TO HEAR THE PODCASTS
RECORDED LIVE AT SAINT IGNATIUS.
YOU WILL HEAR:
Deacon Michael's
10 things he wished he had known before visiting an Orthodox Church.
They include:

1. The Orthodox Church is NOT similar to the Roman Catholic Church.
2. Orthodox worship is patterned after the worship in heaven.
3. The worship service has an ancient structure with purpose.
4. Icons are not idols.
5. Venertion is not worship.
6. Mary and the Saints are venerated.
7. Signing with the cross is ancient.
8. Orthodox worship is not a spectator sport.
9. There is a difference between blessed bread and consecrated bread.
10. No one will understand the Orthodox Church after only one visit.

YOU WILL ALSO HEAR:
The Seven Ecumenical Councils
If you think you know what happened to the church during the 1600 years before the Reformation, think again. Christ has preserved His Church just like he promised. This live podcast is anything but stale.
In fact, it is riviting!
