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

Daniel is a professional Tamada (toastmaster in the context of a Georgian Supra) and was also my guide on my recent trip to Georgia. While in Georgia our group had the privilege of attending multiple Supra dinners with professional Tamadas in order to see how these feasts are supposed to be done. We also toured some of Georgia's cities, monasteries, and countryside and had an incredible trip. In today's stream we will recount our trip to Georgia and as well as launch into a discussion on the tradition of the Supra.Daniel also has a business called the Supra Dinner Society. Their business is to host Supra dinners, bringing this tradition to the States. Part of their business is to offer guided tours of Georgia on an annual basis, as well as to teach people how to become a Tamada so that we can bring this tradition home and share it with more people. In the second part of our discussion we will be discussing all things Supra! @SupraDinnerSociety daniel@supradinner.comhttps://supradinner.com/https://www.skool.com/supra-dinner-society-9812/about?ref=db16dd96a207499cbb707cef2b6f5a3f_________________________________________Young Penitent Links:Beard Oil: https://www.byzantinebeard.com/Telegram 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
