“It’s funny (considering my background) how good it feels to bring flowers from church to put in our family prayer corner.”

The Faith is found as fully in something as simple as a bunch of flowers from the base of the elevated Cross adorning icons in your prayer corner as in discussions of Palamite theology. AG, it is precisely such simple devotions as bringing those flowers home which will allow you to develop an Orthodox mindset, grow in The Faith and advance in theosis.

My wife and I have struggled pretty hard to get some of the most common theological errors to stop being second nature. We asked our priest to delay us another year to baptize us because we know how UN-Orthodox we still are. But, Father Josiah told us straight up,”I’ll be the one who decides.” I guess that’s something else we have to learn...spiritual authority.
