Gaining True Wisdom: A Journey with Fr. Joseph Collins and Fr. Michael Marcantoni

Wisdom is the ability to properly navigate and order reality.
Ever wonder what it truly means to be wise? In this episode of 'On the Battlefield', Fr. Joseph Collins and Fr. Michael Marcantoni take listeners on a journey to uncover the essence of wisdom. They argue that wisdom is not just about knowledge, but about aligning our actions with our deepest desires and values. The hosts dive into the uncomfortable truth that often, there's a gap between what we say we want and what we actually pursue in life.
Through rigorous self-reflection, they encourage us to bridge this gap and live more authentically. Fr. Joseph and Fr. Michael also explore the concept of Metaxi, a shared reality that allows us to connect deeply with others and with God. They emphasize the importance of living in the present moment and recognizing that the kingdom of God is here and now, not some distant future event.
This episode delves into the interplay between dialectic thinking and wisdom, showing how repentance plays a crucial role in spiritual growth. The conversation takes a turn towards the pursuit of comfort and control, urging listeners to keep their lives within Yahweh's sovereignty. It's a call to let go of the illusion of control and find peace in surrendering to a higher power.
If you're looking for practical advice on spirituality and addiction recovery, or just seeking deeper understanding of wisdom, this episode offers a treasure trove of insights. Join Fr. Joseph Collins and Fr. Michael Marcantoni as they navigate the battlefield of life, sharing their unique blend of Orthodox spirituality and recovery tools to help you find wisdom and live more fully in the present.
