  • Today no politics; rather a meditation on prayer and worship, through the lens of the natural world.

    "It’s time for a palate cleanser, a turn away from politics and from endless talk of the evil man does to man. Today our focus is a lovely and inspiring book of Eastern Orthodox meditations on prayer, revolving largely around the natural world as a manifestation of God’s will and love. I have been saying at my own Orthodox church for the past few years, to some skepticism from the cradle Orthodox, “Orthodoxy is the coming thing!” And maybe I am right. After all, as the subtitle of The Sunlilies says, Orthodoxy offers a radical counterculture, and given that sweeping change is what our society needs, and will get one way or the other, Orthodoxy may well be a major part of building our future." . . .

    As you reflect on this book, you manage to come across both as insightful and insane.

    Good as always. Have you read Turchin’s latest book?

    How would someone in the west go about seeking a non-pozzed church in the west?
    I'm not terribly intelligent, so it would be kind of amazing to go to a church where I can learn from more knowledge people.

      OCA has churches you can go to.

      You want to find a local welcoming Orthodox church. Not all are. The less ethnic, the better. OCA or Antiochian is likely to be the best bet for that.

    The orthodox ethos is a different ethos than American christian one...i wouldnt be using orthodoxy as reactionary ...you should only convert if you truly believe..

    New subscriber. I am a Christian first and a conservative patriotic American son, father and grandfather second. So my allegiance is with Jesus Christ above all because He first loved me, died for me and rose again on the 3rd day. He has given me every blessing in this life. Therefore my limited intelligence is joined with His Truth and Wisdom. Which is all one needs. Our actions will reflect this. All that being said i came to your channel because James Lindsay had critical statements in regards to you when he was discussing Christian nationalism. Since i only agree with some of Lindsay's views i wanted to see what it is about you that caused him to mention your name in a derogatory fashion. I must say i watched your discussion with Tucker and i came away inspired.
