An investigation into central fundamental issues such as the meaning of life, our calling, the search for truth, the choice of the spiritual way. Additionally, we investigate other themes such as dogmatic purity and the recognition of one’s own tradition. All these and more are discussed by the participants of Spiritual Discussions.
What are the Church’s responses to these challenging questions? What is the relationship between the spiritual and material aspects of life? Is it possible to reach perfection in this life? How does one carry out the commandments of Christianity? What should be our attitude towards various sects? How should we protect our children and ourselves from “spiritual deformations”? Thorough responses and discussions to these questions and other important issues will be heard in Spiritual Discussions.
Why is one of the Sundays of Lent called Sunday of the Steward? Who is this steward and what is his economy? How to deal with the spiritual and bodily economy inherited by us from God and how to return it to its Owner losslessly and even with surplus? What are the internal and external enemies of our economy?

Why are holiness and decency laughed at by a dissolute person?

- Fr. Nshan Alaverdyan
What is free will and what is its function? Does a human being really have a free will? Humans like to do or choose what they love, while our will has disposition toward sin. Then how to demonstrate a free will pleasing to God, that is, a will that opposes sin? In the Lord's prayer we say: "Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven"; where is our own free will in this?
- Fr. Dajad Davidian

Only one life is given to each of us. What is the meaning of that life? Can the meaning of different people's lives also be different and acceptable according to Christianity? What is the meaning of a Christian's life? Doesn't the whole life of a human being depend on the exposition of the meaning of life?
- Fr. Nshan Alaverdyan
The Lord says: "My yoke is easy and my burden is light." But many of us complain about our cross to be different, very heavy and unbearable. How to understand this? We often ask: "What is my cross that I may take it on my shoulders?" but isn't our cross the state of our life in which we already live? What is the cross of each of us?
- Fr. Arnak Harutyunyan
What category is conscience? Is it the natural carrier of God-established laws and order and is that the reason for many to not have reconciliation with their conscience when they are in sin? Why do the Church Fathers consider human conscience an enemy with whom it is necessary to be cautious when walking on the way so that it may not hand you over to the judge?
- Fr. Nshan Alaverdyan
Why must Christians forgive? What does that forgiveness give to Christians and those whom they forgive? Should we forgive only those who ask for forgiveness and who have repented, or should we forgive always, no matter what? What are the power and benefit of forgiveness?

How to live the year so that it may be favorable in God's eyes? Why does the Christian world also relate the course of the year to Zodiac signs instead of God?
- Fr. Nshan Alaverdyan
What made the love of Christ characteristic of Him only? What demonstration of love was that and what consequences and obligations did it create for generations? Is it possible to repeat the love of Christ? Isn't each Christian a potential carrier of that love with obligations toward it? Why did the apostle say that we should owe nothing to each other except for love?

"Today, in this barren month, we were sent the Fruit of Life from Heaven.
In this month, when there is no grape in gardens, the Virgin Vine granted us the Cluster of her womb.
In this month, when the leaves of the trees fall down, the leaves of Adam turned into a luminous garment."
So writes St. Ephrem the Syrian in his praise on the Holy Nativity. How to understand the meaning of each of these lines? This is discussed in our today's broadcast.
- Fr. Ghazar Petrosyan
Who and what can be Christians' enemies? Are the Christ's enemies and those of Christians the same? How to love the enemies, pray for them, and bless them? Won't Christians' correct attitude toward those surrounding them transform each seeming enemy into a friend?

How to understand that, on the one hand, the Bible warns: "Who believes in dreams is like someone who tries to catch a shadow and chase after a wind" (cf. Sirach 34:1-3), while on the other hand that same book gives us many examples of dreams through which the Lord delivers an important message or prophecy to His people or individuals? What conclusion based on these examples can be drawn about when dreams can be from God?

Why did the Lord speak in parables with crowds, when with His disciples He spoke more openly? Speaking in parables was peculiar to the ancient world; it was an ancient civilizational method. What was the efficiency of that method? Is speaking in parables also usable today as an efficient pedagogical method and preaching trick?
- Fr. Smbat Sargsyan
The Bible attaches a great importance to the factor of faith. Wasn't that the reason that faith was changed into a dogmatic value and was formulated as a Creed at the Nicene Ecumenical Council? How does that Creed, which is recited by the faithful during each Divine Liturgy, define the Christian faith in God? Why is it important what we believe in and what we don't believe in?
