God allows great things, but He tempers them with self-doubt to keep us humble. By now, you must know that you have a gift for speaking to people in a direct and genuine way addressing God’s message in the troubled world in which we live. This talent is what you have been given, but nothing we achieve is truly of our own effort alone. I know you understand this, but it is an internal challenge nevertheless. Every gift in the creative arts or in oratory comes with temptations that keeps us from putting ourselves out into the public arena. I hope you will see your work here as a calling of sorts and forget any inner reservations or deceitful thoughts that tell you that this is a kind of vanity project. It is a blessing for us in the world. Your voice is needed desperately in these troubled times.

Gosh, thank you for this. It is what I needed to hear. I am praying for you from Denver, Colorado and look forward to hearing when the occasion presents itself for you to visit again. +++

Thanks for the great wisdom and guidance. 🙏🙏🙏

This monk speaks in such a way that goes straight to my heart ! Can’t say thank you enough

Fr. Seraphim is honest and real, inspiring and articulate. My only complaint is that there episodes are too far apart for my personal preference — but I guess you can’t rush greatness!

Since a friend suggested this podcast to me some months back, I've been so moved by Father Seraphims soft spoken and thoughtful episodes. At times he has humble and easily digestible tidbits of wisdom, and at other times he grapples with heavy and emotional topics; however it is done with a quiet and patient grace which is often so lacking in many of the voices floating around the podcast world. Would highly recommend this podcast for christians of all traditions.
