The Whole Heart: Understanding Purity in the Orthodox Life

Om avsnittet

What does it really mean to be pure in heart? In this episode, Kyra and Anna dive into the Orthodox understanding of purity—not as perfection or rule-keeping, but as a heart made whole and undivided before God.

Drawing on Scripture and the writings of the Church Fathers, they talk about how purity goes beyond chastity—it’s about love, humility, and clarity of soul. The conversation touches on confession, guarding the senses, and how repentance restores us to simplicity and joy in Christ.

✨ “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” (Matthew 5:8)
