Okay, so I originally wrote this back in april, when we still had some snow on the ground. I understand that it is now May and the weather has gotten a much warmer attitude. So with that being said I have updated some of the wording to fit a warmer narrative. ------ What are we … Continue reading What are we planting within ourselves?
Author: Orthodox Trucker
Hi, my name is Ian. I'm also known as the Orthodox Trucker. Why the name? Well because I'm an Orthodox Christian and a truck driver. Pretty simple, right? I'm also a writer and an Ancient Faith Ambassador. I'm also a loving husband and proud papa.
Everything I do under the Orthodox Trucker name is aimed at examining Orthodox Christianity, and how our mundane and ordinary lives intersect with the Kingdom of God. I will also share my general observations, reflections and thoughts about Orthodoxy, and what lessons I have learned throughout my daily adventures. It is my hope that together, we can both learn something new. Stick around if you will, and let's see where the road takes us. Orthodox Christianity through the eyes of a trucker!

Or maybe you share a name with that holy person or a very similar name. There are … Continue reading What’s in a name?
Learning daily lessons
It seems like patience is one of those lessons that I have to learn over and over again. Kind of like how I had to go through kindergarten twice. I didn't learn the lesson properly the first time, so now I have to repeat the class. Even when I feel like I've learned the lesson … Continue reading Learning daily lessons
On sin
I thought I would share another post I made back in 2014. This is actually the first Orthodox trucker post I ever made. The picture is also from 2014. That's me standing up against one of my very first trucks, back in Wyoming. Some personal thoughts on prayer, sin and forgiveness. While truck driving, I … Continue reading On sin
The Wild Wyoming Skies
Before I get started with today's post, I wanted to let you know that I have quite a few personal reflections that I've written previously. So before I get started with new Orthodox Trucker content, I thought it would be fun to start off with some of the things I wrote or put together back … Continue reading The Wild Wyoming Skies
