This week, my guest is Joseph Beard. Joseph is a catechumen and soon-to-be baptized Orthodox Christian. He grew up the son of a Baptist preacher, and his family moved from town to town as various controversies followed his father. Along the way, he got into various subculture scenes and was able to maintain his faith as God sprinkled breadcrumbs along the way that would ultimately lead him to the Orthodox church. Joseph discusses the push out of Protestantism and the pull  into Christ's  True Church in this episode, and it is a journey that I think you will find quite beautiful.

Charlie Robinson is back with us this week. Charlie runs the MacroAggressions podcast, is an author, and owns the Activist Post and Natural Blaze. Today we are covering a very happy and beautiful topic: the death of the legacy media. This is a very well deserved and self-inflicted death. Charlie goes over stats and ratings with us as well, and it is truly fascinating just how poorly these multi-million-dollar media companies are doing. We also discuss what to look for in alternative media that may be red flags showing that some of the legacy liars are infiltrating our spaces.

Fr. Joshua Genig is the rector of St. Innocent of Irkutsk Russian Orthodox Church & Chapel of St. John the Wonderworker in Redford, MI. They have seen a massive growth in the number of parishioners in the last five years. With this can come many important challenges, including proper catechesis, baptism, teaching, and more. There has been an age of revelation in recent years where many people are waking up from their collective slumber and seeing certain truths like never before. This is one of many reasons the Orthodox Church has seen such a rise in attendance. What are the dangers of this new period of grace it feels like we've been given? We discuss this and more on this episode of Counterflow.

My guest this week is Maximum Leader over at , Charles Haywood. I still enjoy chatting about politics, and this current moment we are in is like no other in my lifetime. Charles is here to help break it all down, from the massive defeat of the Left, to Trump, Elon, Vance, Gabbard, and the whole new facelift of the political power elite.

My guest this week writes at and is a priest in the Orthodox Church. He is Father Zechariah Lynch. Fr. Zechariah and I get into the issue of Christians resisting evil... or not. If we call out something as wrong, evil, or dangerous, some are quick to tell us that we are being judgmental and not very Christian. Are we to be pacifists and let people do as they will? What about during the pandemic? Are we wrong to call out those who wanted experimental medicine forced on us? What about those who wished us to be locked in our homes? We also get into the recent discussion online as to whether or not it's "priestly" to work out and post about it. Does becoming fit and strong make one subject to the sin of vanity?

Kara Mosher is our guest this week, and we are discussing her wild journeys that ultimately led her to the Orthodox Church. Her new book, "Here Comes Trouble", is a very good read filled with interesting stories, some of which we cover in this episode. Kara was deep into the occult as well as being a psychic medium. Once she discovered the reality of Christ, she turned to Christianity. This took her through Protestantism and finally to the Orthodox Church. Come along with us on this fascinating discussion with a very real and genuine person, Kara Mosher.

Today, my friend George Michalopulos is back on the show to discuss the themes in his new book, "For Fear of the Angels: Who Were the Sons of God in Genesis 6 1-4?" We get into the main theories regarding this question. We discuss how angels have come and interacted with humans, what these angels were about, the Nephalim, the giants, Cain, The Book of Enoch, and more. This is a fascinating topic, and I hope you enjoy this discussion.

Today, I have Fr. John Whiteford and Jim Jatras back on the show. We are breaking down and answering critiques that were presented by Pastor Joel Webbon, Pastor J. Chase Davis, and others in a podcast from Right Response Ministries called "Why Young Men Are Flocking To Eastern Orthodoxy" (). Right Response Ministries is a Protestant group, and they have several very good podcast episodes; they're definitely not enemies. We disagree on how they present the Orthodox Church, though, and that's why we wanted to make this response to them.

Father Peter Heers is back on the show, and we are discussing the themes in the book, "On the Reception of the Heterodox Into the Orthodox Church", published by Uncut Mountain Press. There are some converts to Orthodoxy who want to be baptized into the Church, yet they are told their previous baptism was just fine, so they only need Chrismation. Is this the view of the Church Fathers? What is the exception? Is this done in a manner that is consistent with the Saints and the Patrisitc writings? Is baptism necessary for our salvation? We get into all of these questions and more. Fr. Peter is the founder and current head of Uncut Mountain Press (founded in 2000), the founder and head of The Orthodox Ethos, and the founder and first editor of "Divine Ascent, A Journal of Orthodox Faith" (begun in 1995). Fr. Peter was also the host of the podcast, Postcards from Greece.
