I KNOW something is happening. Ove encountered so many people having a spiritual awakening, including my own.
L-Ove…
Symbolism Happens!
"Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound". That's what's happening. Christ is reclaiming the world.
Right here 🤚
I can relate…I’ve been traveling to South America for the last 10 years…drinking ayahuasca, San Pedro, peyote ceremonies, vision quests…studying everything but Christianity…but alas, here I am a catechumin at the Orthodox Church 😌😇🙏🔥
Lol love it!
Same story as me. I was baptized three years ago at the end of an age.
Praise God!
May you continue to be sanctified by the Holy Spirit ❤
Reading the old myths like Gilgamesh or the labors of Hercules really bolstered my faith. The great “heroes” of old were all scumbags. It’s easy to see why the incarnation saved humanity.
Why were they “scumbags”?
@@patrickvernon4766 Hercules murdered his family and Gilgamesh forced the recently married women in his kingdom to have sex with him.
Have you read our Old Testament? Or any history of the Church? If you’re looking for squeaky clean, be careful. I don’t want to rain on your parade, I’m glad you’re both reading the classics (a good in and of itself) and deepening your faith. Just a word of warning.
@@Will-ge7ri “our” lol. There is no “our”. I have nothing to do with you. We aren’t friends. Christ never murdered his family or gRaped anyone. He is who i follow.
Please take a long walk off a short pier.
@@Will-ge7ri his point is that Christ is the ultimate hero compared to all these other scumbags
I’ve always been deeply moved by storytelling and heroic journeys. I will never forget the day I realized that my favorite aspect of the hero was his willingness to sacrifice himself for others.
After that it clicked and I connected my lifelong love of adventure back to Christ. He was the source and inspiration of it all along. After that I was able to bolster my faith with my secondary love of philosophy and mystery.
I was raised culturally Catholic but de facto atheist (my dad is pretty militant). While I envy people who were raised with a strong religious tradition, I wouldn’t trade my epiphany (and successive lesser epiphanies) for anything.
Well said!
@@verygrateful007 thank you
I very much relate to your first paragraph. The deep power of storytelling is why I believe the spiritual truth of the Bible was largely communicated through stories, because it's not only the best way for people to understand those spiritual truths, but also to experience them.
@@Tyler_W absolutely. If you think about it, all human communication is formatted in formal or informal storytelling. Human experience and even empirical scientific data. e.g. “i did this, this is what happened, i learned this from it all”.
It’s inescapable and beautiful.
I live on the east coast of the US and grew up pretty much where the Pilgrims landed. Waiting for my husband to come out of his VA doctors appointment, I met a 74 year old Native American vet and we struck up a conversation. He is an elder of the Wampanoag tribe, and they had just had their largest tribal meeting in years. One of the ceremonies they did was an ancient game. Kind of like “no holds barred “ soccer, only played with a leather ball that is soaked in oil (used to be whale oil) and set on fire. The game lasts until the fire goes out. The kids all think it is their time to beat the snot out of each other so it attracts the strongest kids. But then the elders teach them that the game represents a sacrifice for the tribe. It is a prayer, they go among the crowd all day beforehand and ask what they should be praying/ fighting/ playing for. I think that is profoundly beautiful.
That vet and I shared an understanding that day. We were both Christians, but he had tied that to a ritual that was around before the people native to this land learned of Christ..
I felt like a pilgrim. :)
“The Church needs to be Camelot”… I got chills.
I go through phases of being really sucked into Arthurian legend, and I'm always bolstered when I realize the grail I'm in search of is the Communion chalice. Great for children as well.
This was one of the best, Jonathan. This conversation was so invigorating, so challenging - once you guys were done talking, I was so hungry for more, but completely charged somehow. Engorged but still ravenous. I'll keep coming back to this chat for years I'm sure.
CS Lewis, Owen Barfield, and JR Tolkien would agree with so much of this.
That was really cool. Thanks, guys.
6:12 "Sit down this is just me for 5 minutes."
How do get a seat? I feel a pull to do this but have little idea as to how to do it or even how to conceptualize that process.
There’s definitely something happening right now. It’s an exciting time to be alive. Gloria in Excelsis Deo!
We definitely need to stop pleasing the culture. But we also need to learn to love it and the people in it in order to revivify it. I think it is a duty that Christians can fulfill. We can change the world for the better through God’s love and holiness.
What does Dr. Martin Shaw say @10:40 "I think we're all in agreement that church needs to ______ again"?
Church needs to be Camelot again. the city of King Arthur and the round table.
@@brumalogresteer4124 Thank you!
This isn't the vegetarian actor Martin Shaw, follower of Sant Mat, is it?
11:20 Reporting for "trouble" ❤o7 ❤
God is calling out the Abram’s to adventure to be Canaan bound…
AHH!! SO REFRESHING TO HEAR!
Thank you Martin for giving me some good insights
Great clip, Martin Shaw is awesome
Arroz
Garcés?
Rice?
Perfect timing, I just received ‘Dominion’ by Tom Holland this week!
This idea of not being Christian spiritually is very goidl framing. Without a good spiritual grounding allowing for a spiritual hone, we fall into a crisis of faith or a meaning crisis.
the table appeara impenetrable to me.
perhaps its not my time.
i have been circling it for a decade and can't seem to find a chair. most days i blame myself for not trying hard enough, or being good enough, despite the people in my life telling me otherwise. no ripe fruit.
i pray to christ every night for a seat and i have hope it's being prepared.
but what is a man to do without a chair?
Squat
Or build a chair
@@alexdowd02 haha man yeah im trying. i was reflecting on this thinking it sounds pretty victim-y. i am trying to build a chair (metaphorically)literally as i type this. maybe my chair just isnt ready.
Don’t be cowards - stand up against Zionism
Don’t be a coward stand up against Islam and it’s satanic ways
Europe and the rest of the European world peoples is coming to the same conclusion Germans did in the Weimar period
