Raised and Redeemed

What is the purpose of suffering in Orthodox Christianity? Why does God allow suffering? Why do good people suffer? Is there actually a purpose for the pain?

In this episode, we explore the Orthodox Christian understanding of suffering as one of the primary ways God transforms us into His likeness.

We'll read through Scripture together and examine what Christ, the Apostles, and the early Church teach about trials, suffering, healing, and hope. We'll also discuss why modern culture often misunderstands suffering, my thoughts on therapy through an Orthodox lens, and how embracing hardship can actually deepen our communion with God.

Whether you're new to Orthodoxy, exploring Christianity, or walking through a difficult season, I hope this conversation encourages you.

Backpacking across the country to "find himself," panhandling in Las Vegas, and hitchhiking to Burning Man, Landon Scates never expected he would have found Christ instead.

But on the long desert road home, everything changed.

In this episode, Landon shares his full testimony from his early departure from God, through dark and disorienting years on the road, to an unexpected encounter with the light of Christ. We also talk honestly about what came after: the born-again-to-charismatic pipeline, the deception he encountered in deliverance ministries, and how he ultimately found rest and true healing in the ancient Orthodox Church.

If you've ever wondered whether God can reach someone in the middle of nowhere — literally — this conversation is for you.

Before I knew Christ, I read birth charts, taught yoga, and believed my Sun, Moon, and Rising sign were the key to my identity and destiny. In this episode of the Occult to Orthodoxy series, I'm sharing my honest journey from astrology to Orthodox Christianity — the history of astrology, what the Bible and Church Fathers say about it, and why the Magi following a star actually points us AWAY from astrology and toward Christ.

We'll cover:

✨ Where astrology really came from (ancient Babylon to modern psychology)

✨ What Scripture says about astrology and divination

✨ Why your natal chart might "feel accurate" — and what's really behind that

✨ The Orthodox Christian view on fate, free will, and identity in Christ

✨ How God used a star to lead the Magi to Jesus (and what that actually means)

This is part 16 of my Occult to Orthodoxy series, where I share my testimony of leaving New Age spirituality for Orthodox Christianity. If you've ever felt tied to your zodiac sign, tarot, or horoscopes — this episode is for you.

Have you ever visited a psychic medium or watched psychics on TV and wondered how they know the things they know?

In Part 15 of the Occult to Orthodoxy Series, we're pulling back the curtain on psychic mediums and spirit communication: what they are, what they claim to do, where these practices came from, and what is actually happening in those sessions from an Orthodox Christian perspective.

We cover:

🕯️ What psychics and mediums actually do (clairvoyance, clairsentience, trance mediumship, channeling, and more)

🕯️ The ancient history of necromancy and how it became a living room staple

🕯️ Why psychics are sometimes accurate (and what the Church says about that)

🕯️ What Scripture and the Church Fathers say about consulting the dead

🕯️ The difference between praying to the Saints and visiting a psychic medium

🕯️ What the Orthodox Church actually offers to grieving people, people seeking life direction, and people hungry for real spiritual connection

Whether you came to psychics out of grief, curiosity, or just thought it was harmless fun -- this episode will give you honest, grounded answers rooted in two thousand years of Church wisdom.

It was the desire to heal my inner childhood trauma that first hooked me into the occult and New Age spirituality.

What I didn't know then: the adult self that's supposed to do the reparenting is also broken, and we cannot be our own saviors.

In this episode, I break down what inner child work actually is, where it came from (Jung, Bradshaw, IFS, and more), how the New Age spiritualized it into something spiritually dangerous, and what the Orthodox Church offers instead.

We also talk about ACA (Adult Children of Alcoholics), why I think recovery programs can be a real bridge toward God, and what Saint Paisios of Mount Athos had to say about healing wounded hearts... advice that would shock any modern therapist.

If you've ever done inner child work, if you grew up in a broken home, or if you're just tired of circling your wounds without getting free, this one is for you.

What are the spiritual dangers of shadow work? Isn't it just a therapeutic technique of healing your inner traumas? Or is is something darker, like embracing your inner demons?

In this episode of the Occult to Orthodoxy Series, I break down:

— What shadow work actually is and where it came from

— Why Carl Jung's framework is fundamentally incompatible with Orthodox Christian anthropology

— What Orthodox Fathers say about Jung's "pseudo-religion"

— The key difference between Jungian integration and Orthodox transfiguration

— The ancient Church practices that address the very same human need — and go infinitely further

The Orthodox Church doesn't offer shadow work. It offers something far greater: not integration, but resurrection.

🕊️ As always, please seek guidance from your own spiritual father on everything related to your spiritual life.

What is the twin flame and soulmate deception?

In this episode of the Occult to Orthodoxy series, we are exposing the dark reality behind the New Age concepts of Twin Flames and Soulmates. While the world tells you that searching for your "other half" is the path to spiritual ascension, Orthodox Christianity warns that this pursuit often leads to idolatry, trauma bonding, and the destruction of the soul.

If you’ve watched the Escaping Twin Flames documentary or feel trapped in a "tumultuous" spiritual connection, this video is for you. Learn the difference between a "fiery" counterfeit and the sacrificial, healing love found in the Sacrament of Marriage.

In this video, we cover:

✅ The pagan origins of the Twin Flame and soulmate myths

✅ Why Orthodoxy teaches your soul is ALREADY whole and unique

✅ How "Mirror Souls" are often used to justify unhealthy relationships

✅ The Orthodox view of Marriage as a "Crown of Sacrifice" and martyrdom

"If you are chasing a 'flame' that is burning down your life, it’s time to let it go—and find the Light that never fades."

What is an Orthodox Christian view on past lives?

In this episode, we discuss:

💡 The ancient origins of reincarnation (India, Greece, and beyond)

💡 How these beliefs made their way into modern New Age spirituality

💡 My personal testimony of believing I was a witch and temple prostitute in past lives

💡 The Orthodox concept of prelest (spiritual delusion) and how demons distort identity

💡 Why reincarnation contradicts the Gospel and the Cross of Christ

💡 What actually happens after death according to the Orthodox Church

💡 How to renounce false identities and discover who God truly created you to be

This isn’t just theology—it’s about your identity, your soul, and your eternity.

Scripture Highlight:

📖 “It is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment.” — Hebrews 9:27

What is the difference between the occult third eye and Orthodox Christian nous?

In this episode of the Occult to Orthodoxy Series, we explore the darker truth behind third eye awakening, pineal gland activation, and New Age spirituality—contrasting it with the authentic teaching of the Orthodox Christian Church on the nous, the true “eye of the soul.”

Drawing from personal experience in the occult, Scripture, and the wisdom of the Church Fathers, this episode exposes how modern spiritual practices—like chakra work, kundalini awakening, meditation techniques, and psychedelics—can open doors not to divine enlightenment, but to spiritual deception.

You’ll learn:

🙏 What “third eye awakening” actually is (and how it’s practiced)

🙏 The historical roots of the third eye across Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Theosophy

🙏 How the enemy counterfeits true spirituality

🙏 What the Orthodox Church teaches about the nous and spiritual sight

🙏 How to discern between true gifts of God and spiritual delusion (prelest)

🙏 What to do if you’ve participated in occult practices or feel spiritually oppressed

🙏 The real path to healing, peace, and union with Christ

📖 Key Scripture:

Matthew 5:8 — “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.”

Ephesians 1:18 — “The eyes of your heart may be enlightened…”

What is the difference between secular, New Age, and Orthodox Christian meditation?

Each method claims it will provide us with peace, clarity, and presence, but can each one fully deliver?

New Age meditation tell us to empty our minds to find peace. But Scripture doesn't say that. In fact, the Bible and the Orthodox Tradition teach us to KEEP GUARD OF OUR MINDS so that evil things don't enter and FILL OUR MINDS with Christ so worse things don't return.

In this episode we discuss:

• If secular meditation is good for us

• The Hindu and Buddhist origins of many modern meditation practices

• Why practices like emptying the mind, visualization, “white light,” spirit guides, and third eye meditation can be spiritually dangerous

• What the Orthodox Church teaches about spiritual delusion (prelest)

• Why an “empty mind” is not spiritually neutral

• The Orthodox Christian practice of nepsis — watchfulness over thoughts

• How to meditate on Scripture in a truly Christian way

• Lectio divina and prayerful reading of the Bible

• The Jesus Prayer and Hesychasm

• Theosis vs. self-dissolution: the true goal of Orthodox Christian meditation

If you have been searching for peace, stillness, or a deeper spiritual life, I pray this episode helps you understand the difference between New Age meditation and Orthodox Christian meditation.

“Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10
