About This Podcast
Friends for more than two decades, the Reverend Fr. Dimitri Lee and Phil Kafarakis, a global corporate executive deliberate and provide perspective on how the Sunday gospel reading impacts daily life. Devoted to their orthodox faith and traditions, each one lives the faith differently given the communities they serve and lead.
The priest’s robe and the businessman’s suit convey their unparallel paths in life and showcase their unique experiences, thus shaping the dialogue in every episode. Each man’s insights come from the crossroads of divinity and ambition. Sparks fly over Sunday’s intended gospel message, the disparity in interpretation and robust misunderstanding ultimately do find common ground.
Inspired to shatter myths, explain historical ecclesiastical norms, and get you beyond “that’s what I was always told growing up,” both Father Dimitri and Phil convey a respectful courage to challenge approach that is relatable and heartfelt. There is No question we’ve all found ourselves attempting to overcome fear, anxiety and being overwhelmed with everyday challenges. At times when hope seems to elude you and struggles overwhelm you, friendly voices can bring light into your darkness; that’s our purpose with this podcast.
The authentic and witty banter by these two life tested guys, provokes, and inspires clarity as you deepen your connection to Christ. There’s plenty of laughs along the way fueled by an enthusiastic passion to shine the light on any darkness.
You are invited to come along on this inspirational and happy go lucky journey to discover YOUR meaning of redemption and experience harmony of purpose through the grace of the Holy Spirit. Every episode addresses a different bible reading in cadence with the 2024 Greek Orthodox Church liturgical calendar.

Dimitri & Phil welcome you to worship with them in-person on Sundays.
