 If you have to choose between the two, do you prefer to send many zaps in smaller amounts, or send fewer zaps but larger amounts?

 There is only one wallet that has self-custodial lightning addresses (to receive zaps), and that is @ZEUS in their beta release:

https://blog.zeusln.com/zeus-v0-8-0-open-beta/

With all due respect, maybe do some research before throwing money at something. @OpenSecret  doesn’t have lightning address receive support (yet, I’m sure they will at some point). Any self-custodial wallet will have channel open fees. Some less than others. 

I encourage you to listen to @ODELL talk with Evan, the creator and maintainer of Zeus wallet in his latest Citadel Dispatch episode: 

https://www.podpage.com/citadeldispatch/cd113-zeus-with-evan-kaloudis/ 
 There is only one dogmatic creed: the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed from 381 AD

https://orthodoxwiki.org/Nicene-Constantinopolitan_Creed

It is recited in our morning prayers daily, as well as in the Divine Liturgy.

This creed is the very essence of what Christians have believed for 2,000 years, and still believe to this day. 
 Unfortunately that is incorrect, for Christ said himself “And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” - Matthew‬ ‭16‬:‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

To say that the church apostatized is to heretically misinterpret Christ’s promise that the Church will never be overcome by Hades.

I encourage you watch this video, if you honestly seek the truth: 

https://youtu.be/cqhJIKeuMBM?si=UWddW-t02wZCD169 
 Dogmas are moral principles and doctrines that were taught by Christ, by the Apostles, and having come from the Church. The dogmas of the Church are in both the creed above, and the canons of the seven ecumenical councils. 

Historically, the Nicene Creed was used both catechetically and before baptism to ensure that people understood the foundation of the Orthodox Christian faith. While it is still used in that way today, it’s also used in liturgical services.

So it is neither a simple confession or statement of faith, but a dogmatic creed.

The book you need to read given the questions you have would be Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith by St. John of Damascus. It was written in the 8th century and everything in this book the Orthodox Church still fully adheres to today. He summarizes most if not all of the Church’s dogma here.

https://stanthonysmonastery.org/products/exact-exposition-of-the-orthodox-faith

There are free versions online if you prefer that. 
 As for Holy Scripture, I can only attest to what I use and have been recommended as an English speaker/reader, which is the Orthodox Study Bible. 

It has an English translation of the Septuagint from St. Athanasius Academy for the Old Testament, and uses the NKJV for the New Testament.

https://www.amazon.com/Orthodox-Study-Bible-Hardcover-Christianity/dp/0718003594/ref=sr_1_1?crid=31J6GZA8SPD3N&keywords=orthodox+study+bible&qid=1699974877&sprefix=orthodox+study+bible%2Caps%2C158&sr=8-1

Note: Orthodox Christians reject Sola Scriptura, which means that the emphasis on getting the one true correct translation is not as important as for protestants. As we believe the Church that Christ established and used to create the scriptures via the Holy Spirit also has the authority and ability to correctly interpret them.

 Are you on the App Store version? Or the TestFlight version?

I don’t know if the App Store version allows this yet. 
 should I make a sparrow wallet guide?

should it be text or video?

what should it cover? 
 I think a text guide would be ideal, as it can easily be updated later to accommodate major UI/UX changes or new features

Not sure what to cover as I haven’t been keeping up with what guides have been put out lately. 

But maybe go through Craig’s documentation and see what’s not covered that you use frequently, and cover that. 

Another idea would be a guide that is concise and simple for people brand new to transacting with bitcoin might be helpful. 
 wallet of satoshi is a closed source custodial bitcoin wallet that many bitcoiners have installed... 
 Are you aware of bitcoin park? Ten31? The guides he’s put out over the years to help newbies get on boarded to proper self-custodial wallets? The amount of events he’s organized with the goal of teaching people how to use self-custodial bitcoin wallet properly and privately? How he’s been screaming this from the rooftops for 4+ years?

@ODELL has done more for “step 2” than anyone I know. God Bless him. 
 Yes, he’s built/done everything out in the open. 

Also, add OpenSats to that list. Non-profit he helped create to raise funding for free and open source software and freedom tech (mostly bitcoin and some nostr).

 I sincerely encourage you to dig deeper here, as it’s a very deep rabbit hole, as well as pray to God that He would open your eyes to the truth.

This is a good video IMO to get started with that research: https://youtu.be/575DbpuxyNY?si=L43Rc_J37ZmGaeAd

Lightweight, blazing fast, beautifully designed, a very impressive camera & more. Just a joy to use 
 Lol wow yeah that’s a massive jump. Probably feels like you have a million different new features. 

Make sure to turn on the always on display, but disable “Show wallpaper” https://image.nostr.build/dca5d9156b5618c4ca7b1d06bb0ae96d5245f3978b8ade0259dbce3ffa2c01c1.jpg  
 This only applies to those who have been Baptized into the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.

 Never thought I’d see the day where “2 for $20” would apply to boxes of cereal instead of entrees at a restaurant

 It was first referenced I believe in the latest Citadel Dispatch rip with @ZEUS (or a meme created after it)

It’s referencing Zeus’s new embedded node functionality 
 Got mine a couple days ago, it’s great. Action button is pretty useful 
 Natural titanium 
 Without a doubt 🤝 
 I have a shortcut that does different actions based on what focus mode I’m in. The logic is as follows: 

If focus mode is Work, show me upcoming events via Outlook

Else if focus mode is Shopping, open reminders list that’s shared with my wife

Else if focus mode is sleep, turn on flashlight (on lower brightness)

Else open camera 
 The fact that you can run shortcuts with the action button makes it very flexible. I’m shocked that Apple would release such a customizable feature in an iPhone 😆 
 My legacy Zeus pin is now extremely limited edition 
 After installing latest Damus TestFlight on my new phone, some account profile pictures are refusing to load (example: @PABLOF7z)

Any ideas on how to fix? 
 Well that worked. Lol I didn’t realize that was an option. Thank you!

 Largely due to Western Christianity, you can read early church fathers and this isn’t present at all. 

The way they talk about sin and repentance is nothing like what papal and reformed Protestants teach today.
