Reflections on Orthodoxy and Culture - Dr. Clark Carlton comments weekly on matters of faith, philosophy and Orthodoxy.

I was at the end of my rope, facing the empty road ahead of me with resignation. I will never forget the hours spent painting my room while listening to Clark’s podcast, and how I gradually turned from a disenfranchised former evangelical into a possible Orthodox Christian with a glimmer of hope for a path forward out of depression. The structure for living and rigorous thinking helped me see order and purpose in the world again, and God’s intentional hand in forming the Church.
