Hey guys 👋 My name is Panos and I joined this community to come closer to Jesus! I would appreciate giving me some tips on improving my relationship with God. Btw will we have any courses in the classroom at the future?

I would approach Halloween thoughtfully. Halloween itself is not inherently Satanic; it has roots in ancient harvest festivals and All Hallows' Eve, a Christian tradition remembering the faithful departed. However, some customs today—emphasis on horror, excessive fear, and occult symbols—can indeed be spiritually concerning. For Orthodox Christians, the focus should be on discernment. Engaging with Halloween in a light-hearted, family-friendly way—like dressing up as saints or fictional characters and celebrating community—is generally harmless. However, we should avoid elements that glorify darkness or evil, keeping our hearts directed toward Christ and the light.

Does anyone ever get socially anxious to go into Church? There have been days where I haven't gone to Church purely due to this reason.
