<p><strong>ABOUT THE EPISODE</strong></p><p>Discover where Eastern Orthodoxy came from and how it differs from other Christian traditions.</p><p><strong>Sponsor</strong></p><p>This month’s sponsor is Grimke Seminary. Pastors are called to care for the church of God that God called them to. So why do seminaries require men to leave their church to pursue theological studies? At Grimké Seminary, you can get Christ-centered, theological training in the Reformed, Protestant tradition, without leaving your local church. They offer a range of pastoral studies for students of all backgrounds to serve your growth in ministry, from a Bachelor’s to a Doctor of Ministry.</p><p>To apply, go to <a href="http://grimkeseminary.org/">grimkeseminary.org</a> and use the code “christoverall” to have your application fee waived.</p><p><strong>Resources to Click</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://christoverall.com/article/longform/eastern-orthodoxy-how-did-it-emerge-in-history/">“Eastern Orthodoxy: How Did It Emerge in History?”</a> – Donald Fairbairn</li><li>Theme of the Month: <a href="https://christoverall.com/theme/go-west-young-men-evaluating-the-drift-toward-eastern-orthodoxy/">Go West, Young Men: Evaluating the Drift toward Eastern Orthodoxy</a></li><li><a href="https://christoverall.com/give/">Give to Support the Work</a></li></ul><p><strong>Books to Read</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Global-Church-First-Eight-Centuries/dp/0310097851/ref=sr_1_4?crid=24A47HOIV0W5M&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.sIBZZUx6G5UltJHl13MQga6JhSlYC4C4iiDj0kVtivgLYQmp40mGdVx3Ti-tNU2BfN2jQL_QE6Iv8eymLY6BFKSOaTj5QWwQj3nQdBQRpe1aUzQiPDaXxnDyuITsjP8MIjS_U3wicSzbO8gSx-GeOD7DoFRZjW6PM6lgIh9cWv-jQpDNN2sxPfGbXwKplCUCgz6p6efXh1JxgAqVgeFLtdXF2yEc_0AN9nKwsvyW8NQ.JygX9pAUrK8ZSs57Hhzw5mlTwT3iLOy7oC52rWIu5GU&dib_tag=se&keywords=donald+fairbairn&qid=1777852880&sprefix=donald+fairbairn%2Caps%2C154&sr=8-4"><em>The Global Church–The First Eight Centuries: From Pentecost through the Rise of</em></a> Islam – Donald Fairbairn</li><li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Story-Creeds-Confessions-Development-Christian/dp/0801098165/ref=sr_1_1?crid=24A47HOIV0W5M&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.sIBZZUx6G5UltJHl13MQga6JhSlYC4C4iiDj0kVtivgLYQmp40mGdVx3Ti-tNU2BfN2jQL_QE6Iv8eymLY6BFKSOaTj5QWwQj3nQdBQRpe1aUzQiPDaXxnDyuITsjP8MIjS_U3wicSzbO8gSx-GeOD7DoFRZjW6PM6lgIh9cWv-jQpDNN2sxPfGbXwKplCUCgz6p6efXh1JxgAqVgeFLtdXF2yEc_0AN9nKwsvyW8NQ.JygX9pAUrK8ZSs57Hhzw5mlTwT3iLOy7oC52rWIu5GU&dib_tag=se&keywords=donald+fairbairn&qid=1777852880&sprefix=donald+fairbairn%2Caps%2C154&sr=8-1"><em>The Story of Creed and Confessions: Tracing the Development of the Christian Faith</em></a> – Donald Fairbairn and Ryan Reeves</li><li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Eastern-Orthodoxy-through-Western-Eyes/dp/0664224970/ref=sr_1_6?crid=24A47HOIV0W5M&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.sIBZZUx6G5UltJHl13MQga6JhSlYC4C4iiDj0kVtivgLYQmp40mGdVx3Ti-tNU2BfN2jQL_QE6Iv8eymLY6BFKSOaTj5QWwQj3nQdBQRpe1aUzQiPDaXxnDyuITsjP8MIjS_U3wicSzbO8gSx-GeOD7DoFRZjW6PM6lgIh9cWv-jQpDNN2sxPfGbXwKplCUCgz6p6efXh1JxgAqVgeFLtdXF2yEc_0AN9nKwsvyW8NQ.JygX9pAUrK8ZSs57Hhzw5mlTwT3iLOy7oC52rWIu5GU&dib_tag=se&keywords=donald+fairbairn&qid=1777852880&sprefix=donald+fairbairn%2Caps%2C154&sr=8-6"><em>Eastern Orthodoxy through Western Eyes</em></a> – Donald Fairbairn</li><li><a href="https://archive.org/details/easternchristian0000robe"><em>The Eastern Christian Churches: A Brief Survey</em></a> – Ronald Roberson</li></ul>
