Can good come out of bad experiences? What can we learn from St. Patrick and St. Gregory the Illuminator? And what does it really mean when we say we don’t read the Bible literally? In this episode of Awakened, Fr. Nareg Terterian reflects on how suffering can sometimes lead to growth and transformation, while also recognizing that some evils must simply be acknowledged as such. Through pastoral insight and real-life examples, he explores faith, identity, and purpose. You’ll also gain a deeper understanding of how to read the Bible, not as a literal rulebook, but as a rich, inspired library meant to guide us toward truth and meaning. The episode concludes with a reflection on John 3:22–36 and the powerful message: “He must increase, but I must decrease.” Like, share, and subscribe to grow in faith and live a more meaningful life.
