UNTO AGES
UNTO AGES is an Orthodox Christian platform with one single aim: to bring the listener closer to Christ and to be a signpost for His Church. This show delves into topics including, but not limited to, apologetics, philosophy, theology, and personal reflections. These episodes are created by an Orthodox layman and the opinions expressed are his own; they are not dogmatic. As such, the intent of this project is merely to be supplemental material to the authentic spiritual development that takes place within the Orthodox Church, via Her sacraments, priests, holy texts, and prayer. If you find this content to be edifying, be sure to pass it along to someone who may need it. Glory to God for all things!
