Young Penitent

Mike Lacy is here to tell us about his experience with prison ministry and how you can get involved. The Lord tells us in the parable of the last judgment that one of the things that we will be judged on is whether we visited those who were sick and in prison. Today we will touch on both of these topics.Mike Lacy became Orthodox more than 20yrs ago. Before the lockdowns of 2021, he'd spent almost five years as a lay Orthodox Christian prison minister at what a Sir Trevor Howard of the BBC called "one of the most notorious prisons in the USA." He retired at 48 after suing a Fortune 500 company and lives in a 240SF cabin with his wife in a remote part of the Ozarks today.__________________________________________________Young Penitent Links:Beard Oil: https://www.byzantinebeard.com/Telegram Announcements Channel: https://t.me/+jITpv7gWcE9hM2IxTelegram Chatroom: https://t.me/+jITpv7gWcE9hM2IxTwitter/X: https://x.com/youngpenitentDonate to Young Penitent via Paypal here: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/youngpenitentSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1MqPG5CgYnmMrQ5h8DUcSAApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/young-penitent/id1709812607Free album download: https://youngpenitent1.bandcamp.com/album/christian-rap-2🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

I've been taking the antipsychotic medicine Seroquel for over 20 years. This drug has severely impaired my ability to function in life. The side effects have gotten so bad that I'm not sure which is worse, the symptoms of the disease or the side effects of the medication. Because the side effects have gotten so bad my hand was forced to try and find an alternative treatment, and I have been using Ketogenic Metabolic Therapy as a way to treat my illness in an attempt to get off these medications. Todays stream will go over my experience with these drugs and how my attempt at withdrawal is going. Tune it!______________________________________________________________Young Penitent Links:Beard Oil: https://www.byzantinebeard.com/Telegram Announcements Channel: https://t.me/+jITpv7gWcE9hM2IxTelegram Chatroom: https://t.me/+jITpv7gWcE9hM2IxTwitter/X: https://x.com/youngpenitentDonate to Young Penitent via Paypal here: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/young...Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1MqPG5C...Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Free album download: https://youngpenitent1.bandcamp.com/a...

We are bringing back Nathaniel onto the channel. In his last appearance we discussed the time he spent on Mt. Athos. Touching on a similar theme, today we will be discussing the process of discerning for oneself whether they have a monastic vocation. Both Nathaniel and I have gone through this process and we both have an enduring love for the monastic habit. Nathaniel has had close contact with the monks on Mt. Athos, and he has the unique ability of being able to put those experiences into words.If you are not yet sure what your calling in life is, we invite you consider the monastic path. Visit monasteries. Talk to monks. Monasticism really is the heart of the Christian church, and it would be a benefit to all to become familiar with it's ways. Even if you decide that monasticism is not the path for you, hopefully you develop an appreciation for what it means to live a life consecrated to God.Get in touch with Nathaniel: https://linktr.ee/bodilessvoiceNathaniel's YouTube channel: @puritasfidesveritas ______________________________________________________Young Penitent Links:Beard Oil: https://www.byzantinebeard.com/Telegram Announcements Channel: https://t.me/+jITpv7gWcE9hM2IxTelegram Chatroom: https://t.me/+jITpv7gWcE9hM2IxTwitter/X: https://x.com/youngpenitentDonate to Young Penitent via Paypal here: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/youngpenitentSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1MqPG5CgYnmMrQ5h8DUcSAApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/young-penitent/id1709812607🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

Over the course of the weekend the US and Israeli militaries launched a coordinated strike on Iranian military targets. Iran retaliated, striking into countries throughout the region. The Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been confirmed dead. We have invited Lebanon John, co-host of Moobase Live (on Rumble) to break down the situation and where it likely goes from here.Lebanon John on X: https://x.com/Lebanon_JohnMoonbase Live on Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/MoonbaseLive?e9s=src_v1_cbl_____________________________________________________Young Penitent Links:Beard Oil: https://www.byzantinebeard.com/Telegram Announcements Channel: https://t.me/+jITpv7gWcE9hM2IxTelegram Chatroom: https://t.me/+jITpv7gWcE9hM2IxTwitter/X: https://x.com/youngpenitentDonate to Young Penitent via Paypal here: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/youngpenitentSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1MqPG5CgYnmMrQ5h8DUcSAApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/young-penitent/id1709812607Free album download: https://youngpenitent1.bandcamp.com/album/christian-rap-2

Chuck and I became friends on Facebook and I always read his posts there with great interest. He writes brief articles covering many different aspects of Church life, and they are always well written and highly informed. Chuck has an excellent grasp of the practical aspects of church life. He has a down to earth approach to spiritual life that can benefit many, as opposed to some of the more theologically oriented digital creators which are so common in our feeds these days. You will meet Chuck where the rubber meets the road, and that is something that I appreciate about him and why I have asked him to be a guest on my channel.In todays interview we will be discussing how to make the most of Great Lent. Particularly we will focus on the hypothetical person who is new to church life and may even be going through their first season of Lent as a practicing Christian. What kind of fasting is appropriate for us? What should we adopt for our prayer rule? How about church attendance, and spiritual reading? All of these practical aspects and more will be discussed in today's interview.Chuck is a Subdeacon in the Orthodox Church.https://www.facebook.com/subd.chuckhttps://www.patreon.com/cw/subdeacon______________________________________________________Young Penitent Links:Beard Oil: https://www.byzantinebeard.com/Telegram Announcements Channel: https://t.me/+jITpv7gWcE9hM2IxTelegram Chatroom: https://t.me/+jITpv7gWcE9hM2IxTwitter/X: https://x.com/youngpenitentDonate to Young Penitent via Paypal here: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/youngpenitentSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1MqPG5CgYnmMrQ5h8DUcSAApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/young-penitent/id1709812607Free album download: https://youngpenitent1.bandcamp.com/album/christian-rap-2

Jerry Marzinsky is a licensed psychotherapist who spent many years working in psychiatric hospitals and becoming familiar with the phenomena associated with mental illness such as hallucinations. He came to the conclusion that these voices are not something that is created by our own brains, but that they come from outside of us. He believes the voices are demons.The idea that voices come from demons is something that many Orthodox Christians firmly believe. It very neatly lines up with our spiritual worldview. In our interview today we will discuss with Jerry how he came to the conclusion that the voices are demons, and what he believes can be done about it.https://www.jerrymarzinsky.com/_________________________________________________________Young Penitent Links:Beard Oil: https://www.byzantinebeard.com/Telegram Announcements Channel: https://t.me/+jITpv7gWcE9hM2IxTelegram Chatroom: https://t.me/+jITpv7gWcE9hM2IxTwitter/X: https://x.com/youngpenitentDonate to Young Penitent via Paypal here: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/youngpenitentSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1MqPG5CgYnmMrQ5h8DUcSAApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/young-penitent/id1709812607Free album download: https://youngpenitent1.bandcamp.com/album/christian-rap-2

Nathaniel is an Orthodox Christian living in Thessaloniki, Greece. He traveled from the United States to Mount Athos—with the blessing of the Holy Monastery of the Great Lavra—to explore Orthodox spiritual life and discern whether he should become a monk or remain a layman. He spent 500 days immersed in monastic life, giving voice lessons to about 40 Athonite monks to help them chant the divine services more beautifully. Over time, through prayer and spiritual guidance, he realized he was not meant to remain on Mount Athos permanently, at that time.After leaving the Holy Mountain, he moved to Thessaloniki. In obedience to his spiritual father, he teaches Orthodoxy both in person and online. He runs a YouTube channel focused on the essential aspects of the Christian faith, leads an online men’s group for those seeking to live chaste lives in the world, and sells hand-painted Orthodox icons—crafted by one of the finest iconographers in Greece—at the iconographer’s request, to the English-speaking world. He also provides coaching and healing work, supporting Orthodox Christians and others in their spiritual and personal growth.Nathaniel brings a wealth of experience, and we are grateful that he joins us in this video to share insights from his time on Mount Athos.Get in touch with Nathaniel: https://linktr.ee/bodilessvoiceNathaniel's YouTube channel:  @puritasfidesveritas  _____________________________________________________GiveSendGo campaign: https://www.givesendgo.com/streamyardsubscritionYoung Penitent Links:Beard Oil: https://www.byzantinebeard.com/Telegram Announcements Channel: https://t.me/+jITpv7gWcE9hM2IxTelegram Chatroom: https://t.me/+jITpv7gWcE9hM2IxTwitter/X: https://x.com/youngpenitentDonate to Young Penitent via Paypal here: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/youngpenitentSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1MqPG5CgYnmMrQ5h8DUcSAApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/young-penitent/id1709812607Free album download: https://youngpenitent1.bandcamp.com/album/christian-rap-2

A relatively new YouTube channel called Tribulation Saints has exploded onto the scene with a bang. Marko Trickovic, the host of the channel, is covering a wide array of topics that pertain to Orthodox Christians. Some of his recent videos have covered a story that came out recently about how the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia has been targeted by politicians within our own government. In today's episode we will attempt to cover this story from a broad scope. We will discuss the current persecution of the Church in Ukraine, the situation that led up to it, and how that indirectly has led to the current soft persecution of our church in America. As Americans we need to stay vigilant, because the possibility of persecution on our own soil is a real and present danger.Follow Marks channel here:  @tribulationsaints  __________________________________________________Young Penitent Links:Beard Oil: https://www.byzantinebeard.com/Telegram Announcements Channel: https://t.me/+jITpv7gWcE9hM2IxTelegram Chatroom: https://t.me/+jITpv7gWcE9hM2IxTwitter/X: https://x.com/youngpenitentDonate to Young Penitent via Paypal here: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/youngpenitentSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1MqPG5CgYnmMrQ5h8DUcSAApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/young-penitent/id1709812607Free album download: https://youngpenitent1.bandcamp.com/album/christian-rap-2
