In this episode we will hear from Nicholas his perspective on the practice of circumcision. Nicholas has made a name for himself on X, where he goes by "bobo," as a proponent of the idea that men should not be circumcised. Further, we will hear from Nicholas what the church has to say about this practice. This is something of a sensitive subject and viewer discretion is advised. Follow Nicholas on X here: https://x.com/autistodox

A news event from yesterday (which happened to be Halloween) was a clip from the upcoming movie Christianities? in which Tucker Carlson claimed that he had been attacked by a demon. He says it even left claw marks. Is this real? What is the experience of the church regarding demonic attacks? Why would this happen to Tucker? In tonights stream we will react to Tuckers claim, and give a few examples from the experience of the Church to get to the bottom of such supernatural phenomena as demonic attacks.

We took audience questions for a live viewer Q&A espisode on Sunday October 27th, 2024.

Pressed "go live" from the back deck last night and lit my pipe, not knowing what I was going to say. Managed to talk for an hour and interact with the audience. Had a great time!

What is Holy Chrismation? Chrismation is one of the sacraments of the Church. After a Christian enters the Church through Holy Baptism, they are sealed with holy oil on various parts of their body, which is the seal of the gift of the Holy Spirit. In some cases Christians are received into the Church through Chrismation only if they have previously been baptized in another Christian confession. I had a guest on my channel some time ago who gave a rather unorthodox opinion, that Orthodox Christians who were received via Chrismation are not Orthodox. I have stated before that I disagreed with his opinion but in an effort to do some "damage control" I am going to dedicate this stream to the topic. We will discuss the various aspects of this question which is always a hot topic of debate. Hopefully we can give answers to those people who are entering the church and have questions about how they should be received. There will be a guest who underwent the process of a "corrective baptism" and she will share her story and the circumstances surrounding it. Viewers will be invited to call in if they wish to ask a question or voice an opinion during the stream.

In this video I answer the question "is Christianity anti-semitic?" To answer the question I begin by defining terms. I begin by explaining what anti-semitism is not, then I give a definition of what it is in order to be able to answer the question. Further we draw upon written and oral traditions of the church in order to give our anwer to the question. I conclude by offering a counterweight to the conclusion, referencing the commandment to love our neighbors. This is my personal opinion.

In todays interview we will be speaking with Seraphim Brodie and Maria Powell from the Holy Orthodox Order of St. George the Great Martyr (OSGM). Seraphim is the Director of Media for the organization, and Maria is the Director of Communications. The OSGM is an order of Knighthood that was established with the blessing of His Eminence Metropolitan Hilarion, former First Hierarch of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia, in 2019. The Order was founded for the purpose of caring for the Orthodox Christians of the Holy Land and Greater Middle East who find themselves in need, want, or under persecution for their faith. In this interview we discuss the situation of Orthodox Christians in the Middle East. Seraphim and Maria recently came back from a trip to the Holy Land, where they were able to meet with some of the local representatives of the Church to develop relationships with them and find out how the Order could be of assistance. We hear from our guests stories from their trip that give us a glimpse of what life in the Holy Land is like for Christians. There will also be a discussion about the Order itself, how it functions, and how one can become a member.

Another stream from my back deck. We will check in and talk about the news while I smoke my pipe. We talk about Telegram founder Pavel Durov's arrest and the reasons behind it. Then we have a call in from a listener.

Michael Sisco is a man who has ideas that need to get out. Initially he used YouTube as a platform to get his ideas out with  @TheMichaelSiscoShow  . Later he began to publish a weekly Substack article, which also included some recorded interviews. Now Michael has announced that his Substack is being rebranded as The Texas Visionary, a publication by people with ties to Texas that aims to help bring about a sensible system of governance that is compatible with our values. Our interview today will center around this new publication, where the idea came from, and what Michael's vision for the publication is in the future. Michael is an Orthodox Christian and a political thinker who has been involved in politics on many levels, including a run for Governor of West Virginia in 2022. This is his second appearance on my channel, the first appearance being this episode from 2023: https://www.youtube.com/live/bGUyFXim5yg?si=0TcE2AM684B06QDI https://www.thetexasvisionary.com For more about The Texas Visionary read this article: https://www.thetexasvisionary.com/p/the-texas-visionary?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web ___________________________________________________________ Young Penitent Links: Telegram Channel: https://t.me/+jITpv7gWcE9hM2Ix Telegram Chatroom: https://t.me/+Q7EJv3fhYqY5ZjVh Twitter/X: https://x.com/youngpenitent Donate to Young Penitent via Paypal here: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/youngpenitent Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1MqPG5CgYnmMrQ5h8DUcSA Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/young-penitent/id1709812607 Free album download: https://youngpenitent1.bandcamp.com/album/christian-rap-2

For the third straight week I will be going live on a Friday night. We will talk about the events of the past week, go over a few news stories in world affairs which have an impact on the church, and help you understand how these things should be understood from our perspective. Towards the second half of the show we will interact with viewers and invite viewers to call in or ask questions. I have been enjoying our weekly livestream and I may commit to making these a regular feature of the channel. _______________________________________________ Young Penitent Links: Telegram Channel: https://t.me/+jITpv7gWcE9hM2Ix Telegram Chatroom: https://t.me/+Q7EJv3fhYqY5ZjVh Twitter/X: https://x.com/youngpenitent Donate to Young Penitent via Paypal here: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/youngpenitent Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1MqPG5CgYnmMrQ5h8DUcSA Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/young-penitent/id1709812607 Free album download: https://youngpenitent1.bandcamp.com/album/christian-rap-2
