In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, we sit down with Mother Agapia Stephanopoulos, a Greek Orthodox nun who lived in Palestine, to discuss faith, identity, history, and the lived reality of Palestinians under occupation.

Mother Agapia shares her experiences living among Palestinian Christians and Muslims, reflecting on the spiritual importance of Palestine to Christians around the world, the history of Greek Orthodoxy in the Holy Land, and the resilience of both Christian and Muslim Palestinian communities enduring war, displacement, and oppression.

We also explore the changing attitudes toward Palestine in North America, the role of media figures in shaping public opinion, tensions facing Palestinian Christians, and the broader political and religious narratives surrounding the conflict.

This episode is a conversation about history, humanity, resistance, and faith. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
