Let's stop there.

Being a soldier, it's exciting.

You already know that.

What you want to know is, what's in it for me?

I wanted to learn leadership skills from the experts.

I wanted to get paid to earn qualifications.

I wanted more confidence and outlook. I'm on the radio. That's what was in it for me.

Get skills, get qualified, get confident. Army. Recruiting now. Search Army jobs.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the history of Byzantium, episode 319, Orthodox Questions with Father John Strickland, part two.

This is the second part of my conversation with Father John Strickland, where he tackles your questions about the Protestant Reformation, autocephalous churches, and connections to Byzantium

amongst several other topics. John is the pastor of an Orthodox church in Pulsbo in Washington State. He wrote a four-volume

series about the history of Christian civilization called Paradise and Utopia. And he's also

recorded a podcast of the same name as an accompaniment to the books, which you can find

wherever you get your podcasts or at ancient faith.com.

The next question is another broad one.

Okay.

Well, I consider myself pretty average.
