This week I had an amazing visit with the wonderful team over at Legacy Icons. They are the world's largest Orthodox Icon and devotional material distributor, and their products are nothing short of amazing. Thank you to the DeJonge family, especially David and Ethan, for taking so much time out of your day to spend with James and me. The experience was the most hospitable, informative, and enjoyable visit I've ever made to a company... period.
In the video I share my thoughts on the necessity of beauty in our current age, a brief history of iconography, and a story and review of Legacy Icons and why I am in love with their products.
I really do hope you will check out their products and pick something beautiful up to aid in your devotional life.

A Summer Reading Challenge - The Trinity from Basic to Advanced
Переглядів 895 місяців тому
The Trinity is the great mystery of the Christian faith! But it is not meant to confound us. God has given us self-revelation of His nature/being and activity/interaction through History and the Scriptures. However, we have watched a great decline in the modern Evangelical's ability to articulate the Triune faith that for the past 2,000 years has been the centerpiece of Christian confession. I ...
My Top 5 Most Influential Christian Authors

Over the past 11 years of reading widely in the Christian tradition, a handful of authors have risen to the top in their level of influence on my ministry, pastoral imagination, and theological leanings. In the video and below, I share who the authors are and a couple of books from each that could get you started reading them for yourself. A.W. Tozer The Pursuit of God - amzn.to/3y6EG5E The Kno...

Here on this Holy Saturday, I wanted to continue the reflection of Good Friday and Christ's work on the Cross. There is an amazing dramatic imaginative narrative of the interaction between the thief on the cross and Christ Jesus, in Ken Gire's book "The Reflective Life." I hope it encourages you and enriches your meditation on the passion this weekend. Ken Gire's book The Reflective Life: amzn....
The Beauty of the Cross of Christ - Good Friday Reflection
Переглядів 747 місяців тому
The Roman Cross is grotesque, yet the poetry of paradox says the Cross of Christ is the most beautiful expression the Lord could have done. On the Cross Christ is God acting like God. The greatest self-revelation of God in the Person of Jesus Christ. In light of Passion Weekend, I have a short reflection on Good Friday from a writing I did a couple years back. You can find the original article ...

    Hey I am an Eastern Orthodox Christian. UA-cam's algorithm probably fed me here due to the video you made on icons. Really liked this list and you've definitely introduced me to some interesting sounding people I haven't heard from before. I know you're a small channel but keep up the good work.

    Great review! It’s such a blessing to have Legacy locally. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with using icons as a bookmark. We keep them everywhere- tucked into the car visor, taped on mirrors, inside kitchen cabinets, etc… it’s great to have reminders of the gospel and our saints everywhere. I even have a few of the mini icons they make at Legacy that my baby likes to chew on 😂. God bless! - Veronica from Holy Cross in Walker

    Correction… Immanent Trinity in the dialogue of Deep Things of God is about the internal Trinitarian relationship. I was thinking of the divine attribute of God’s immanence.

    Hi Nick. I came across your new channel a week or so ago and then watched all your content. I thought at first I’m going to have very little to comment here as I am not very well read and I find reading quite challenging. A few years ago I got an audible account where I get a credit every month (a credit = a book) and you create a library of audiobooks and I love credit day when I get to choose a new book. So I was very surprised today when you mentioned two books that are in my library. Both C.S Lewis The problem of pain and Henri Nouwen The way of the Heart . I particularly enjoyed The way of the heart, you spoke briefly on silents and solitude a practice that I have recently started to engage in , by taking some time to just be with God with no agenda. This I can find very challenging as my brain bounces around all sorts of things, but that said I still find it a valuable practice. I also have been encouraged by John Mark Comers books and podcasts. So I guess I did have something to comment. Great to see you again brother all the best from over the pond Martin

      @@NRMayo I feel I have been very fortunate so far and have chosen books from recommendations frequently from podcasts and the like. One of many that sticks in my mind as I believe God had a particular word for me was a book recommendation from Bono of U2 fame it came via a UA-cam video of him meeting Eugene Peterson . Bono was talking about run with the horses one of Eugene’s books it’s about Jeremiah and I found a very enjoyable listen. And I can’t not mention Pete Greg all his books but over the last two weeks I have re listened to red moon rising and dirty glory and found myself weeping on multiple occasions. Bonhoeffer the cost of discipleship is the book of the moment but only an hour or so in but totally engaged and enjoying. Looking forward to more recommendations from you.

I’m a huge Peterson fan! I have Red Moon Rising as well. I actually think I picked it up on your recommendation in the past, but have not read it yet. Thanks for sharing.
