    What a Sage
    This podcast has changed my life. It has given me a new love and lens for theology and sound doctrine. Thank you for your wisdom sir. I am deeply honored and grateful.
  • mercy+grace
    Straight up love
    Fr. Thomas Hopko is the absolute realest. Glory to God for him. May your memory be eternal, Fr.
  • patman256
    Amazing
    No words can express my respect and gratitude for this podcast. He played a big role in my journey to converting to Eastern Orthodoxy from being Evangelical Christian.
  • Mr. Greve
    Great podcast
    I really enjoy the fact that Fr. Thomas does not mince words. He is not one to pander to Orthodox sensitivities but tells it how he sees it. You may not always agree with everything he says (nor does he expect you to) but if you are wise you will at least think twice before disagreeing :). Fr. Tom is a true gift to the English-speaking Church!
  • Caseyfoofoo
    Beautiful podcast
    I truely enjoy his podcast. He speaks the truth about Christ and the bible. He references the truth using the bible passages. He is inspiring. I feel like I am getting a dose of a homily in addition to my mass. I am Catholic and found he misrepresented my faith when he spoke of it, but everyone outside the faith does, from the press to hollywood. His misrepresentation is not malicious. He teaches theogy, faith, and how we can be our best spiritual beings. I will keep on listening as he enriches my life.

    I love to hear Fr Tom speak. I will recommend this podcast to my dad
  • Stephanos apo ti Chios
    Great podcast
    Fr Thomas does an amazing job being as detailed as possible in his teachings and constantly gets the mind going. Keep it up Father!
  • Carl Voss
    Great
    Fr Hopko is outstanding! Highly recommend.
  • cblmb72
    Fantastic!
    First, ignore the "Another Kingdom Builder" comment. The individual who wrote that comment is ignorant of 2000 years of Christian history & is speaking gnostic heresy. Now about the podcast.... I am Anglican and I love every one of Fr. Tom's teachings. They are straightforward, succinct, biblical, historical and orthodox. He delivers with clarity and gentleness. Subcribe and be edified.

    Go Father Tom!
    Father Tom brings to light the wondrous truths found in scripture! Lord bless you Father Tom!

    THE Best
    Fr. Tom is the best, and a wonderful blessing to the Eastern Orthodox Church. I have been fortunate enough to know him and always love to hear him speak. Check this out podcast forsure!
  • mhorguinn
    Enlightening and encouraging.
    Fr. Thomas is wise and educated, for someone like me just coming to Orthodoxy, he is a true blessing to discover.
  • meeno112
    Father Hopko is full of knowledge
    I had heard of him but only recently have I started listening to him. He has an uncanny ability to teach about Orthodox history and to give small "by the ways" that really enlighten.
  • George Andrei Mihăilă
    Enlightening and captivating
    In this world we live in, there are very few truly outstanding speakers and even fewer people who have something valuable to say. Father Hopko is both. A true Christian and an great scholar, Fr. Hopko sheds light on complex matters of the Orthodox Faith and Church tradition, clearly separating the truth from the many interpretations of the Gospels. As one fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to attend some of Fr. Hopko's public conferences at the St. Vladimir Orthodox Theological Seminary, I am grateful to Ancient Faith Radio for making this podcast available to a wider audience.
