"If you have faith in the Lord you will fear punishment, and this fear will lead you to control the passions. Once you control the passions you will accept affliction patiently, and through such acceptance you will acquire hope in God. Hope in God separates the intellect from every worldly attachment, and when the intellect is detached in this way it will acquire love for God."

Nah. I'm on a pixel 6 and get 30+ hours easy.

Do not trust your mind too much; thinking must be refined by suffering, or it will not stand the test of these cruel times.

"Orthodoxy also has a real problem with nominal members" - This is true, my wife and I discuss this often. Converts tend to be quite zealous which amplifies the problem too 😌.

Forgive me, I was not so sure I should post this but Jay came out of and was educated in the reformed tradition (was a Roman Catholic too). Hopefully this post is at least an interesting read.
