Sometimes we're too familiar with a Gospel passage. Fr Joseph's retelling of the story of Zacchaeus is, to say the least, a li'l diff.

A Retelling of Zacchaeus

I recently received word that my high school football coach was celebrating his 100th birthday. I thought he was old when I played for him over 40 years ago! Now I know he was my age NOW . . . way back then. Coach Cullivan features prominently in this old podcast. Even if you’ve heard it, in honor of him beginning his 101st year, give it a listen.

Orthodixie Turns 100!

In these challenging times, we are tempted to look back and think, "Where have all the good times gone?" Fr Joseph says, "Take off your mask!"

Orthodixie Unmasked!

How long will we have to live like this: COVID, masks, hate, doom, divisive politics, closures, and cancellations? Fr Joseph answers from St Joseph/Houston.

Patience!

Everyone who's Orthodox likes Pascha a lot. But the Germ who lived just beyond our grasp did not!

How the Germ Stole Pascha

You ever had a wreck with the bishop in the car? Yeah, well, lemme tell ya before he does: I have!

Ain’t Gonna Bump No Mo (With No Big DOWAMA)

FYI, this episode is a gentle rant. It's not PC, but GTGFAT.

What If It’s NOT the End of the World? (Asking for a Friend)

It ain't easy being a Dry Fry Step Count Ascetic Athlete!

Part-time Hesychast, Full-time French Fry

After nearly three decades in Orthodoxy, Fr Joseph says he’s attended only one real-deal silent retreat. It happened in his own parish. The retreat flyer stated: This is a silent retreat: no screens, no phones, no gadgets . . .  a detox from worldly noise and distractions. (Pretty scary, huh?)

A Big Shout Out to Silence!

Nick Knock

Looking back: first, ten years; then, past Mary Poppins; all the way to Arius—even to a dinosaur—Fr. Joseph sings a couple Orthodox ditties, recounts a heretical tune, and concludes with possibly worse!

Nick Knock, Poppycock, Heretic Be Gone!

Fr. Joseph Huneycutt shares both his southern wit and fatherly wisdom with each episode of this podcast.

I am not orthodox. I am a Mormon. I enjoy Rev. Honeycutt&#39;s humor, wit, and style. I listen while I work overnight. Orthodixie keeps me up and entertained. As a former Catholic, I actually understand a lot of the references!  ;)

Orthodixie

Miss Jane gets a tongue lashing, Mr. Bodine speaks in tongues.  Things go dark as Fr. Joseph interviews Dr. Indadark.  In the end, lacking the main ingredient, it's all just peas and carrots.  Suffice it to say:  Love covers a multitude of podcasts.

Without Love, It’s All Just Peas and Carrots

The words: soteriology, hesychasm, and vlachos were spoken recently in Beaumont, Texas—not to mention so-dzo, so-dzentai, huneycutt, and so-dzenestitai. (Most holy Theotokos, save us!)

Soteriology, Hesychasm And Huneycutt In Beaumont

The night before a Sunday sermon can be fraught with fear and struggle for many a priest. But, of your charity, if you see me walking on water ... help me back into the boat!

I Did Not Sleep With That [Canaanite] Woman

An all points bulletin has just issued: "There's an Orthodox White Boy in Syria!" (But, while Fr Joseph's away, we hope you'll enjoy this episode from the "Best Of" archives.)

Orthodox White Boy

(Fr. Joseph dedicates this program to the memory of Fr. Matthew MacKay, who would have appreciated the humor—he hopes.) This week the Orthodixie podcast catches up with the author of An Empty Church is a Peaceful Church, Fr. Danislav Gregorio, about his new book, Speedy Sacraments for Liturgical Losers.

“Speedy Sacraments for Liturgical Losers”

Love is in the air ... goin' to the chapel and we're gonna ... take out the papers and the trash ... you may kiss the ... love stinks!? The missing parts, and the glue that holds it all together, may be found in Fr. Joseph's ode to the big event of summer.

Just An Old Fashioned Love Song

On this special edition of the Orthodixie Podcast, Fr. Joseph interviews the author of the new Conciliar Press book Aidan's Song: A Year in the Life of a Parish Priest. The book has been compared to the "Far Side" cartoon and the TV show Married With Children—but nothing quite compares to Fr. Aidan Wilcoxson's singing a rather surprising number on this very podcast. Aidan's Song is an insightful, moving, and often hilarious personal snapshot of a year in the life of a parish priest. Enjoy!

Aidan’s Song - A Year in the Life of a Parish Priest

What's the difference between Orthodox Christians' participation on the Internet and, say, secular scoundrels? Sometimes, it seems, not much.  Fr. Joseph admits his foot's been in his mouth but his tongue's still in his cheek; in other words: "Let's be careful out there!"

They Will Know We Are Christians By Our ... Blogs?

A blatantly commercial message for Fr. Joseph Huneycutt's new book, "We Came, We Saw, We Converted" (Conciliar Press). It's a humorous look at a book that takes a humorous look at Orthodoxy. But what else would you expect from the Orthodixie?

We Came, We Saw, We Converted

Since it is well known that he is a priest from the "Old Country," Fr. Joseph may want to be careful about offending the Farmer in the Dell or Mr. MacDonald.  (This is Part 2, from Christ the Savior Church, Chicago.)

The Farmer in the Dell (in Chicago) - Part 2

Can you imagine for a moment that all this revealed religion stuff is really, really real?  Imagine, if you will, the Theotokos pondering things, like:  Where is Christ the Savior? Fr. Joseph imagines and ponders his way toward answers in Part One of this special episode, "live" and edited, from Christ the Savior church in the Windy City.

An Orthodixie In That Toddlin’ Town - Part 1

Rumor has it that this episode is about gossip. But like I told someone else . . . don't tell anyone!

But in the Parish Hall He Be All Like . . .

Fr. Joseph visits The Tonight Show—really!—and dreams of hosting, guesting and side-kicking (featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Conan O'Brien, Carnac the Magnorfodox, David of Wales, Red Skelton, "the world's greatest grape catcher," and more)!

The Tonight Show: Conan, Carnac, Dave, and Lento?

It's not easy when a man "gives birth". The struggle is magnified when Daddy plays Stay-At-Home. This week, Fr Joseph tackles both issues ... like a man.

Father Mom

What's the difference between Purple People and White People?  Oh, and what's eating the Orthodox these days?  (It's memory lane with bases loaded; for some, Lent can't end soon enough.)

Jack Chick

Do you know how hard it is to squeeze Jack Chick, Batman, and St Cuthbert into the same episode? Not to mention a cow, church school, and bats. BOOM!

Holy Cow! Batman, St Cuthbert, Jack Chick—BOOM!

Last year's "listener supported" Thanksgiving podcast featured a Roman Catholic priest, two Orthodox clergymen, a Baptist boy and an Episcopalian gal, and a Greek layman, who—unexpectedly—shared a Thanksgiving campfire.  Here are the combined episodes, slightly edited; stay tuned for details regarding this year's contest at episode's end!

Reconvening the Ecumenical Campfire

Is "Pokémon Go" a sign of the End Times, or are the pocket monsters really unintended Evangelists?

Get Behind Me . . . Pokémon?
