I have heard it said numerous times about the east that they put a much stronger emphasis, than roman catholics do, on the Resurrection, transfiguration, deification, and a mystical encounter with God.

These are themes I have never heard discussed before and highly intrigue me. I would love to learn more about the eastern perspective and was hoping that there may be some good (non polemical) podcasts out there that dive in to eastern view points . anyone know of any

Interesting how it’s assumed the OP means Byzantine perspective and not Antiochian for instance.

Then find an English Antiochian one. It was not an assumption but what was found that closest met the parameters. It was also stated, non-polemic.

Not surprising however.

A lot more Byzantines around that there are Antiochians or others here in America.

If there are other sources out there that may be able to give a better view of the eastern perspective I am open to them. Even if they may be a bit polemical. Its just tiresome and competely lacking of any christian charity when every program has constant bashing and snide remarks which I have no patience for anymore.

Do you know if any of them produce podcasts? Those are easier for me to listen to at work than YouTube.
 
Much of what the OP mentions is alive and well in western monasticism.

There is an unfortunate emphasis on scholastic theology in the western church. This has led to great ignorance of monastic theology and spirituality. Western monasticism and eastern spirituality share a common heritage and to a certain extent still share a common praxis to this day.

I hope my Eastern brothers don’t take offense to this but it saddens me when a Roman Catholic has to look ouside his own church to find theology and spirituality on topics as basic union with God and becoming “partakers in the divine nature.”

I feel the same way when my Eastern brothers (and clergy) don’t bother with Eastern devotions and praxis and instead substitute Western ones wholesale (because of a flawed ecclesiology… or maybe simple justification)…

Being that there exists a paltry amount of podcasts in the Eastern Catholic interweb world I will share what was my original reaction to your request. At risk of being pounced upon here at CAF by polemical characters. Nevertheless, these podcasts fed my soul for years. Enjoy!

They are a goldmine of Eastern Christian faith,spirituality and practice. But Eastern Orthodox. It is where I spent years learning. I have Orthodox friends, and Eastern and Roman Catholic friends as well, we all share this basic, faith. What are we if we do not share this faith.

Tim, id be more than happy to listen to any sources that would go in to these topics from a western monastic theological and spiritual perspectivie. Anything that is different from what ive been hearing is a blessing. Do you have any podcasts in mind?
 
Some advice, since I hit a wall after ‘studying’ books and ‘listening’ to podcasts, find a community.

What you seek is hidden in the world today. Some tips in finding them, check your diocesan webpage, newsletter for events such as retreats or like this parish news item about the Relics of St. Anthony of Padua visiting the Houston area as we sit here, they are traveling with a Franciscan monk.

reginacaeliparish.org/

They also have listed a Silent Ignatian retreat for March.

We need to seek and find as well as read and listen.
 
I agree… But if you don’t know where to look or what you’re even looking for it doesn’t work out.

Tim, if you have recommendations for Western theological and spiritual approaches I’d love to give them a read or listen.
