True Repentance

The Five Paths to True Repentance: A Call to Transformation 
 
In this episode, the host delves deeply into the concept of true repentance within Christian circles. Repentance, often mentioned but rarely explored in depth, is dissected through the lens of Orthodox Christianity and the teachings of St. John Chrysostom, which outline five paths to repentance: contrition, forgiveness, prayer, kindness, and humility. The speaker emphasizes the urgency of these practices in a societal context, particularly in the United States, drawing parallels to the moral and spiritual state depicted in the Book of Jeremiah. Practical steps and heartfelt practices are recommended to embody these paths, with a call to personal and national transformation through daily enactment of repentance.

We’re a husband and wife team, with a mission to reveal the divine light within each of us—and shine it in the world. We are cohosts and producers of Be a Light in the Darkness podcast, which explores the ways that we each walk in our ministries of light—the unique calling and ways that we show up in the world, that reflects our God-breathed essence. We are curating a community, Mystic Isle, where spiritual pilgrims and seekers can gather to meditate, learn to be still in the presence of God, and pray and bless each other and the world.

Natchez is a mindfulness, prayer and meditation coach, helping individuals and groups to transform their prayer and meditation experiences to meet face to face with the Creator. His goal is to help people find, deepen, and expand their relationships with humanity and the image of the Creator inside of each human being.

Cindy is a heart resonance coach and soul shepherdess, focusing on transforming life’s transitions into powerful catalysts for spiritual growth. Her focus is on empowering the journey, and weaving life’s cycles and seasons into sacred pilgrimage. Along with her husband, Natchez, she is a mom to a brave little Scottie dog named Deacon (who is also the Mystic Isle community’s ambassador), and Porta(bella), a royal little chihuahua. The two make up their team's power pack, and accompany them on their adventures.
