How We Took God Out of Confession: Healing and Repentance with Fr. Avedis |@WesternDiocese | E13

What happens when confession becomes reduced to emotional release, psychological relief, or self-reflection—while God quietly disappears from the center of repentance? In this deeply honest and healing conversation, I sit down with Fr. Avedis Abovyan to explore how modern culture has subtly reshaped our understanding of confession, repentance, and spiritual healing. Together, we speak about why confession is not therapy, yet why it heals more deeply than anything therapy alone can offer—because it restores our relationship with God. 🕊️ Dust & Glory is a podcast about lived Orthodoxy in the modern world—where ancient faith meets real wounds, real struggles, and real hope. 🔔 Subscribe for more faith-based content:    / @holasona   👍 Like & Share if you found this video helpful! 🙏☕ If you’d like to support my work: buymeacoffee.com/holasona 🛍️✨CHECK OUT MY NEW SHOPIFY STORE: https://holasona.myshopify.com 🙋🏻‍♀️TO SIGN UP FOR THE UPCOMING NEWSLETTERS, CLICK HERE👉: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FA... ---------------------------------------------- This Podcast is a collaboration with the Western Diocese of the Armenian Church!
