In this heartfelt and deeply personal talk, Dr. Philip Mamalakis—professor at Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology—shares his journey from spiritual ignorance to profound understanding, grounded in Orthodox faith and community. Growing up in a large family with little formation, Dr. Mamalakis was drawn into the mystery and healing power of the Church. Now a renowned teacher and therapist, he blends theology and psychology to explore how our wounds, relationships, and inner struggles are all places where God meets us.
This is not a motivational speech. It’s a raw, real call to step out of isolation and into transformation through vulnerability, connection, and sacramental living. Whether you’re wrestling with addiction, loneliness, or just feeling spiritually lost—this message offers not a quick fix, but a real path.
