Journey to Transformation: Reflections on the Ancient Faith Singles Retreat
Welcome to a special episode of the All Around Growth podcast.  Today, I'm excited to take you on a journey through an unforgettable experience that occurred at the Ancient Faith Singles Retreat held at the Antiochian Village over the weekend.  Join me as I open up about how this event truly transformed my life. I'll be sharing my own personal reflections, hoping to give you a taste of the incredible moments we shared during the retreat.   Whether you're tuning in to reminisce about your own retreat memories or you missed out on this unique experience, this episode is your chance to dive into the beauty of that weekend from my perspective.  Thank you for being part of this journey with me.  I'm grateful to have experienced it with you.  The Ancient Faith Singles Retreat 30+ is a gathering of Orthodox Christians who are at least 30 years of age, unmarried (single, divorced, widowed), and living in the world. The weekend will include daily matins and vespers, and Sunday Divine Liturgy. The group will participate in interactive, leader-led discussion sessions, opportunities for community service, games, and social activities, and free time for relaxation and fellowship.  The Antiochian Village is a Christian conference and retreat center located on 300 acres in the beautiful Laurel Highlands of southwestern Pennsylvania, just six miles north of the historic town of Ligonier. Owned and operated by the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America, Antiochian Village was established in 1978 through the vision and leadership of the Archbishop, Metropolitan Philip, who dreamed of a place where the faithful of all ages could meet, worship, and become closer to God, away from the distractions of daily life.  ~Discussion Links:Intro Music:  Byzantine chant.

Unpacking Community Connections: A Post-Event Analysis of the Freedom Cell Network Meetup - Season 5, Episode 8
Note:  Please pardon the first 10 minutes of poor audio quality.  This is an episode from the road and the microphone was hidden underneath the seatbelt and I didn't realize it for the first 10 minutes or so.  Afterwards, the audio is just like it was from the old days on the road.~Join us as we delve into a thorough examination and introspection of the recent Medina County Freedom Cell Network meetup event. Centered around the pivotal theme "Your Journey, Your Growth: Forming Your Inner Cadre," participants had the opportunity to articulate their personal aspirations and share their experiences in cultivating Inner Cadres. With equal participation ensured through timed comments, reminiscent of our inaugural meeting in November, the evening fostered dynamic dialogue and mutual learning.  Beyond the structured discussions, attendees engaged in informal networking, fostering connections, and discussing the triumphs and challenges encountered in building like-minded collaborations. This event served as a platform for honing strategies to navigate obstacles on our collective path towards freedom.  In this podcast episode, we embark on a comprehensive after-action review, unpacking the key discussions, insights gleaned, and lessons assimilated from the gathering. From individual narratives to overarching themes, we'll dissect the broader implications of the Freedom Cell Network while delving into the specifics of Saturday's event. Our focus will be on examining our progress in forming inner cadres and understanding the significance of this focal point within the community.~Become a Patreon Supporter!Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/allaroundgrowth ~Like & Follow on Social Media or connect via email!Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowthInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/allaroundgrowthEmail:  allaroundgrowth@gmail.comTelegram Group Chat: https://t.me/allaroundgrowthTwitter:  https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Community:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowth~Discussion Links:The Freedom Cell NetworkFreedom Cell Network Video TrailerWhat is a Freedom Cell?Medina Odd FellowsFreedom Cell Manual (PDF)Freedom Cell Manual (working draft) - more detailsEpisode-298- Starting the Journey from Grasshopper to AntEpisode-148- Bug Out Planning and DocumentationBecome a Patreon of the Show! ➡️ patreon.com/allaroundgrowth

Soul Searching: Finding Balance in the Chaos - Season 5, Episode 6
In this episode, I dive deeper into my spiritual journey, exploring how I'm working to find balance amidst the hustle and bustle of life.  I open up about the areas where I've been pouring most of my energy lately—social life, family, career, and finances—and how this has left me feeling a bit off-center.  To counterbalance, I'm putting extra focus on my spiritual well-being.  Join me in a candid, unfiltered discussion as I share insights into my personal path, including moments of prayer and reflection.  No fancy production here—just a genuine conversation about finding peace and meaning in everyday life.  I'm not here to preach or lecture; I'm simply sharing my experiences and the resources that have helped me along the way, steering clear of the noise of internet spirituality.  This isn't about preaching a message—it's about sharing a journey.  If my story resonates with just one person and offers a glimpse of the serenity I've found, then I've achieved my goal with this podcast.  Feel free to join the conversation on social media with the links below, and thank you for tuning in.  Your support means the world to me.~Become a Patreon Supporter!Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/allaroundgrowth~Like & Follow on Social Media or connect via email!Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowthInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/allaroundgrowthEmail:  allaroundgrowth@gmail.comTelegram Group Chat: https://t.me/allaroundgrowthTwitter:  https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Community:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowth~Discussion Links:Subscribe to the York Meadow Farm email newsletter!The Royal PathOur Life in ChristSt. John ClimacusAscending the Heights: A Layman's Guide to "The Ladder of Divine Ascent"The Ladder of Divine AscentSaints of the Orthodox Church - YouTube Playlist💥 Goal Setting Guide Feeling discouraged?

Empowering Communities: Recap of the Latest Freedom Cell Meetup and Building Towards the Future - Season 5, Episode 5
In this episode, we share the highlights of the recent gathering of the Medina County Freedom Cell Network that took place on Saturday, January 27th.  Freedom Cells, consisting of approximately 8 local individuals, operate in a decentralized manner to empower members through education, peaceful non-compliance, and the establishment of parallel institutions.  Our group in Medina has been convening monthly since November 2023, and in this episode, we share insights into our meetup events, their locations, activities, and a recap of the latest event.  Plus, get a sneak peek into what's planned for our upcoming February Meetup!  During the Saturday event, we conducted concise and informative presentations covering various preparedness topics, followed by an engaging Q&A session to delve deeper into the subjects discussed.  Adding to the excitement, we hosted a 50/50 raffle and gave away an EDC medical kit, as well as a knife sharpening kit, generously donated by our Patreon member Kyriaki. The episode concludes with a call to action for each member to establish their inner cadre, sharing progress or challenges at the next monthly meeting. I also take a moment to share my personal goals for the inner cadre, proposing the development of a bug-out plan and documentation package. Drawing inspiration from The Survival Podcast, I explore how and why such plans are crucial. A special shout-out to our Patreon supporters Wayne, Sean, Rachel, Kyriaki, and Brian!

Navigating the Maze: From St. Anthony's Wisdom to George Carlin's Wit in Modern Politics Season 5, Episode 3
Join me on today's podcast as we delve into insightful quotes from St. Anthony the Great and the witty George Carlin.  We navigate through diverse topics such as politics, local communities, and the impact of social media, with a special focus on the notorious "Communist China owned and operated Tik Tok."  In the midst of a community dispute about Trump and Biden, we raise thought-provoking questions:  What do we truly understand? What remains unclear to us? Are we open to admitting our lack of understanding? Does any of this chaos hold significance, and why? We explore the willingness to acknowledge when we're wrong and unravel a simple photo that encapsulates my "hot take" on Western/American politics in the 20th and 21st centuries.  This photo sparks a quote and a clip from the iconic George Carlin.The conversation extends to addressing questions, comments, and topics from Kyriaki via Patreon, leading us to unpack the profound quote by St. Anthony the Great: “Which is older — the mind or the book?  And which is the source of the other?  So, to the man whose mind is sound, there is no need for books to attain wisdom.” Tune in to discover my political compass, anchored in God and a life inspired by the teachings of Christ. The exploration becomes clearer as we delve into the life story of St. Anthony the Great and connect it to the landscape of modern American politics.  ~Like & Follow on Social Media or connect via email!Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowthInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/allaroundgrowthEmail:  allaroundgrowth@gmail.comTelegram Group Chat: https://t.me/allaroundgrowthTwitter:  https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Community:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowth~Discussion Links:Anthony the Great - OrthodoxWikiVenerable and God-bearing Father Anthony the GreatA Daily Calendar of Saints: A Synaxarion for Today's North American Church“When you're born into this world, you're given a ticket to the freak show.

Season 5 Premiere: Navigating Life's Abundance and Balancing Acts
Welcome to the Season 5 premiere, where we embark on a journey of simplifying life and finding balance.  After a genuine conversation with Brian of The Lots Project and some downtime recovering from a cold, I've been immersed in reflections.  This episode dives deep into the abundance in my life, exploring returns on investments beyond finances and pondering the impact when our contributions lean towards mediocrity.  In today's episode, I open up about goals, our Patreon account, and the future of the show. Life's limitations ground me in reality, emphasizing the importance of focusing on current priorities. Managing the production and sales of fermented foods to meet our customer needs while positioning for growth has become a top priority.  We take a trip down memory lane, unpacking the history of the show a bit more than we did in our previous episode titled Unveiling Our 2023 Podcast Stats and What's Next in 2024!  We continue to look ahead to 2024, and I share thoughts on potential changes, acknowledging the uncertainties. While eager to continue this journey, the 'how' remains a puzzle.  Join me as we navigate the challenge of balancing it all.  Throughout the episode, I pour my thoughts into the show—how it intertwines with my life, community, family, and spiritual journey. Season 5 unfolds with a personal touch, revealing the direction All Around Growth is heading. I'm excited to have you on board for the ride.  Curious about what the future holds?  Tune in and let's unravel the exciting journey together! 🌿🎙️✨~Like & Follow on Social Media or connect via email!Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/allaroundgrowthInstagram:  https://www.instagram.com/allaroundgrowthEmail:  allaroundgrowth@gmail.comTelegram Group Chat: https://t.me/allaroundgrowthTwitter:  https://twitter.com/allaroundgrowthFacebook Community:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowth~Discussion Links:Ep. 531 - Unveiling Our 2023 Podcast Stats and What's Next in 2024!  Aim at Simplicity (St. Basil the Great) Simplifying Life: A Candid Conversation with Brian from The LOTS ProjectYork Meadow FarmEpisode-1696- Rob Kaiser on NRCS High Tunnel Grants  Dec 17, 2015 — Rob joins us today to talk about his recent experience in procuring a grant for the purchase and installation of a High Tunnel via the NRCS, his venture into market farming and other NRCS programs that can help new farmers get off the ground.York Meadow Farm: Lacto-Fermented Foods Rich in probiotics, our fermented foods are also paleo and keto friendly.
