I'm not a big debate guy, but I watched the debate between James White and Craig Truglia. Craig performed masterfully. It seems to me evident (which is strange, as White has traditionally prepared thoroughly for these debates) that White simply was not prepared for or aware of the mass of material that Craig presented in his opening speech. By White's second rebuttal, he's just all over the place, sometimes veering way off topic. Craig also showed himself to be a skilled debater. Some of James White's post-debate commentary is bizarre, complaining about how Orthrobro culture is treating him, which just puts into sharp relief the fact that Craig manifestly was not an exemplar of this bad behavior. Craig treated JW with respect throughout, but JW seems to have been prepared for a different debate, and right down to his closing speech he was trying to argue with what he thought Craig would say rather than what he actually said. Bravo, @Craig_Truglia!

All the saints had a hidden inner labor, known only to God. Saint Gabriel the Georgian, intercede with God for us, so that we too may work in secret at the cleansing of our hearts and behold God.

I see a lot of people criticizing Fr Josiah for going on this podcast, but I am asking you to first watch the episode before doing that. Fr Josiah gave important correction in a way that protestants can actually receive. This is not ecumenism. He’s teaching.

An an Orthodox Christian, I've enjoyed listening to Dr Jordan Cooper over the last 11 years. I cannot say the same for Schooping who seems to lack an ability to talk about theology from many different angles. He has more of a 'tear down the Orthodox ship' approach. This kind of collaboration only reveals his cards more so.

As a momma raising boys in this crazy world, let me tell y’all something: Orthobros don’t stink. They fast like champions, hit the prayer rope harder than most hit the gym, and yes — they actually bathe. My boys come home from weight training after Vespers smelling like clean soap, a little cedar beard oil, and victory. Not BO and regret. While other young men out here smell like energy drinks, unwashed hoodies, and lost hope, our Orthodox boys are out swinging kettlebells, reading the Fathers, and showing up to church fresh and respectful. Come to Divine Liturgy, sweet young ladies. The strongest scent in the nave is incense and beeswax… not Orthobro funk. Orthobros stay clean, strong, and God-fearing. This momma approves. ☦️🤠💪

And because of warriors like @JayDyer, @BruceSaiFun(Sam Shamoun) and by the Grace of God. All my arguments against Christianity were destroyed. I gladly gave my life back to Christ in August 2025.

This is the angle @RuslanKD and the Prot-toman Empire are taking against Orthodoxy. I wonder if they'll admit defeat when it fails or they'll pull the Matt Dillamonkey argument of "I'm just not convinced".

I strongly suspect the silent majority knows this 🙏☦️
True wisdom is seeing the value of AFR, Dyer, Orthodox Ethos, etc. but also not making any of them above criticism.

We cannot do anything to save ourselves, salvation is a gift of God's grace.

"It is a wonder to me that the Lord has not forgotten me, His fallen creation. Some fall into despair, thinking that the Lord will not forgive their sins. Such thoughts come from the enemy. The Lord is so merciful that we cannot comprehend it. The one whose soul is filled with the love of God in the Holy Spirit knows how the Lord loves man. But when the soul loses this love, it becomes sorrowful and longs, and the mind refuses to rest, seeking such a God." SAINT SILUAN THE ATHONITE

There are many who are upset at my decision to become Orthodox. And many who in the coming days will begin to attack my character. I understand your frustration, but please understand one thing. In order to be obedient to God I’ve had to sacrifice my position in the church, my pastoral ministry, anger my friends, and those who have hosted me, and open myself up to all sorts of criticism. I’m sure even many will leave my channel. But ultimately none of that matters, I have an audience of One. My Lord Jesus Christ. And I will not be disobedient to Him.

"All possible sins and passions are ready to break into the soul, and strive to do so at every moment. Fight against them valiantly and vigilantly unto your last breath, looking upon them as dreams of your imagination, as illusions of the spirits of evil." — St. John of Kronstadt
