Young Penitent

Today we welcome back to the channel David Treebeard to discuss Making America Healthy Again. We had David on once before to talk about his Pemmican company Steadfast Provisions. Then his business was just starting out but now his company has become established and he is ready to take it to the next level by opening a production facility so that his business can scale. We will discuss these developments, as well as MAHA and RFK Jr. who was confirmed today as the Secretary of the department of health and human services. David has set up a kickstarter campaign for his food processing plant. If you would like to support him by pledging to purchase pemmican, you can do so here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mhrhodes/build-a-pemmican-kitchen-with-steadfast-provisionshttps://steadfastprovisions.com/

Much to everybody's surprise Donald Trump launched his own memecoin during the Presidential crypto ball which was held last Friday in DC. The next day Melania launched a memecoin. Both coins surged to billion dollar valuation almost immediately. We will discuss these events in tonights stream, as well as the ethical implications of these actions and what they mean for cryptocurrency.

We will be reacting to recent statements from the ROCOR Synod regarding Brother Nathanael Kapner. Brother Nathanael announced that he would be leaving ROCOR after the statement was issued. We will be reacting to the statements from the Synod and from BN. I will open up a space on X during the stream so that viewers can call in and express their views.

Went live for an AMA on YouTube and began a twitter space, which was simulcast to YouTube. No agenda, just talked about whatever came up. Reviewed my upcoming partnership with the beard oil company Byzantine Beard.

Mano Elia is the man behind the Study of Stuff Podcast, the hot new Orthodox channel on YouTube. He is also spearheading an initiative called the Bored No More Network, an effort to bring together Orthodox content creators with the goal of vanquishing boredom (or, in other words, to put an end to idleness). This is a noble and lofty goal, and I fully support the idea behind it. We live in an atomized society and sometimes tuning in to an Orthodox livestream can serve as a patch in between the periods of time when we can gather in church to pray with our likeminded brothers and sisters.

An Expose on Brother Nathanael

It is common knowledge that the Holy Mystery of the Eucharist is the Body and Blood of Christ, presented to the faithful in the form of bread and wine. Many people by this time have also heard of celiac disease, an auto-immune condition in which people react to gluten, a protein found in wheat. The flour which is used to create prosphora must be of wheat according to the canons of the church, and it is this prophora which is transformed into the Body of Christ during the divine liturgy. What are people with celiac disease to do if they want to receive communion, since they normally react to the gluten contained in wheat? This will be the subject of today's stream.

In this episode we will hear from Nicholas his perspective on the practice of circumcision. Nicholas has made a name for himself on X, where he goes by "bobo," as a proponent of the idea that men should not be circumcised. Further, we will hear from Nicholas what the church has to say about this practice. This is something of a sensitive subject and viewer discretion is advised.

A news event from yesterday (which happened to be Halloween) was a clip from the upcoming movie Christianities? in which Tucker Carlson claimed that he had been attacked by a demon. He says it even left claw marks. Is this real? What is the experience of the church regarding demonic attacks? Why would this happen to Tucker? In tonights stream we will react to Tuckers claim, and give a few examples from the experience of the Church to get to the bottom of such supernatural phenomena as demonic attacks.

We took audience questions for a live viewer Q&A espisode on Sunday October 27th, 2024.
