In this final session, Fr. Gregory presented the ascetical disciplines of prayer, fasting, almsgiving and manual labor as the practical means of Christian discipleship. He also looked at the monastic vows of poverty, chastity, obedience, and stability as the tangible fruits of discipleship.

In the second session, Fr. Gregory outlined two very different understandings of freedom: freedom of choice and freedom from sin. Our culture emphasizes the first, the tradition of the Church the second. The personal question we must all ask is what kind of freedom do we desire?

In the first session, Fr. Gregory sketched out the call to personal holiness in the Orthodox tradition. He looked at holiness as a personal call to true freedom which comes through obedience to God's will for our lives. Such obedience is only possible if we commit to live as disciples of Christ.
