Orthodox Christian parenting is about forming our children’s hearts and minds in light of eternity. Theosis, or union with God, is the ultimate goal of parenting.
Dr. Philip Mamalakis shares his journey from spiritual ignorance to profound understanding, grounded in Orthodox faith and community.
To listen to God and to one another to hear one another is our path of our own maturing and how we nurture a culture of maturing where children can grow up naturally.
