Young Penitent

Herman Middleton was a pathfinder in his generation for bringing Orthodox Christianity to the English speaking world. Converted in the mid-90's, he studied theology in Greece at the University of Thessalonica. He started the publishing house Protecting Veil when he authored his first book Precious Vessels of the Holy Spirit, which examined the lives of contemporary elders in Greece. He has done extensive work on YouTube publishing interviews on his channel Protecting Veil and more recently has begun work with his new channel Herman Middleton, which is associated with his work at the Gadfly Academy.In today's interview we get to know Herman and his background before beginning a discussion about Orthodoxy before it was cool. We go on to discuss what might be a good approach to dealing with the temptations that come along with the current way people go about acquiring the faith.‪@Herman_Middleton‬ https://www.gadflyacademy.com/‪@ProtectingVeil‬ https://www.protectingveil.com/Article mentioned in the stream: https://www.eighthdayinstitute.org/th...____________________________________________________________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/youngpenitentSubstack: https://substack.com/@youngpenitentDonate to Young Penitent via Paypal here: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/young...Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1MqPG5C...Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Free album download: https://youngpenitent1.bandcamp.com/a...

Since the term "latinizer" gets thrown around rather loosely online these days we decided to invite a number of people who have been stuck with this label to examine the term.________________________________________________________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/youngpenitentSubstack: https://substack.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-2Join this channel to get access to members only content:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmLTIS0W9ObGh9EaoUTraPg/join

The modern practice of fasting in the Orthodox Church has become synonymous with following a vegan diet. Many Orthodox are unaware that there is a long tradition in the Orthodox Church of dry fasting, which is the practice of going for a period of time without food or water. This practice goes back to the earliest of times in the Church and has its origins prior to the day of Pentecost. Fasting as a spiritual practice is as old as humanity, and early Christians would have understood fasting as abstinence from both food and water. This kind of fasting is a discipline that the Saints practiced, even up to our own times, and one way modern Christians can join themselves to the experience of the Saints is to practice it themselves.Nathaniel has extensive experience with the practice of dry fasting, going as long as 9 days without food or water. He has not only incorporated dry fasting into his own spiritual practice but also teaches others how to do it. In this interview we will explore the tradition of dry fasting in the church as well as the practical aspect of how to do it. This will include how to prepare yourself for a fast, how to fast, and how to break the fast.For further viewing: https://youtu.be/ihDlLFSSSMQ?si=vYMEFQfsHdD7y0HANathaniel's links: https://linktr.ee/bodilessvoice_______________________________________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/youngpenitentSubstack: https://substack.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

After struggling to implement the ketogenic diet as a treatment for mental illness for a long time I have finally started having some success. In this episode I explain how intermittent fasting, time spend following the diet, and lowering my medications have helped me get my ketone levels up into the therapeutic range.

Fr. Emmanuel  @Lemelson  recently published an article titled The Theater of Digital Orthodoxy which was a critique of online convert-media apologists. The article was widely read and there ensued quite a lot of discussion online. In this interview we set the stage by discussing some of Fr. Emmanuel's background in short selling corrupt companies on Wallstreet, and tie that in to his exposure of a corruption of the faith with regards online apologists.You can read the article here: https://open.substack.com/pub/lemelson/p/the-theater-of-digital-orthodoxy?r=du166&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web🎙 LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for new videos: https://www.youtube.com/@Lemelson‼️ Fr.

Recently I uploaded an interview with Archimandrite Nicanor who voiced some objections to the glorification of Fr. Seraphim Rose. In this video we sit down with Abbot Tryphon to give a response to some of the objections which were raised, in order to hear both sides of the argument._______________________________________________________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/young...Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1MqPG5C...Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Free album download: https://youngpenitent1.bandcamp.com/a...
