If you've never heard of Eastern Orthodoxy, here are some things you should know.
Enter an Eastern Orthodox church, and you are met with walls covered in icons, clouds of incense, burning candles, and worshipers kissing sacred images. For Protestants, the conclusion is unavoidable: this is idolatrous worship.
Some SBC churches don't ordain women as pastors, but they ask them to exercise a "gift of shepherding." But does the New Testament rend the office of elder-pastor from the gift of shepherding?
This is why young Christian men are journeying toward Eastern Orthodoxy, and the story of why one didn't make it there.

What do you feel when you hear "The Orthodox Catholic Church is the one true church outside of which there can be no salvation"? Concern? Unease?
One of the great attractions of Eastern Orthodoxy for many young men is its emphasis on masculinity and its claim to an unbroken tradition. But are those claims true? And can Protestantism offer the same stability, seriousness, and rootedness that many men are seeking?

Jesus Christ reigns over all things, and this podcast exists to help people see the reality and ramifications of this truth. We post at least four times a month: Twice, we will read aloud a longform essay from our monthly theme. And twice, we will discuss each essay with its author and another Christian leader. Listen in to live in light of Christ’s Lordship.
In keeping with our vision to edify the church with evergreen content, our website is organized around monthly themes. These themes may focus on the Bible, theology, church, or culture. Over the course of the year we cover all these vital areas. There is a place for real-time responsiveness to cultural and evangelical controversy, but monthly themes do not focus on that priority. Rather, we plan our themes months in advance, curating a stable of writers with tailored assignments. Our hope is to foster mature and biblically-grounded reflection. To that end, with acknowledgement that all we plan is subject to God’s will, here are Christ Over All’s upcoming themes.
Christ Over All is a ministry that aspires to edify the church with evergreen content that will help the church think in biblical categories and apply Christ’s preeminence to all areas of life. In an age where the internet is often hyper-reactive and hostile, we will take a different path.
