Bless you, Fr. Please pray that through the grace of God I become the man, father, and husband God truly wants me to be. I struggle greatly with anger, despondency, and frustration. I can’t seem to overcome these things and it’s affecting my family greatly.
Father, in all honesty. These were some of the wisest words I have ever heard on UA-cam or Social Media. This video and your words should go viral. May God bless you and your Familiy, Hristos voskrese ☦
I’ve been non denominational christian my whole life and never think to look to a priest for Godly advice. This popped up and I’m so glad it did. I’m tearing up because I know this is God speaking to me. Thank you father. May you be blessed always.
I am 28 and have been struggling to find purpose. I was in the Army straight out of high school and found that it to be more of a corporation. I went from construction, to going to a tech school for automotive (having passed), and even been offered work on the wrong side of the law for a decent price (didn't accept it). I have found no purpose and no meaning until i found the Orthodox Church. Now I still haven't joined however what I have seen has already given me more hope than anything else despite me still not knowing what i am to do in this world. Also i must thank you for talking about a mans desire to serve. I had always thought that maybe I was broken or just weak for having that desire.
“…and the English say they are self-made, which relieves God of a terrible burden”. John Sentamu. The spotlight is on these people because someone wants to see how they act, if such a spotlight was on many people, promoting “go out and get what you want in the world” many people would also be found to be utterly iniquitous and ego-centric. The spotlight should not be on them. Thank you for your teaching.
I thank God for having come across your channel, I don't speak English so I don't fully understand some things with the subtitles, but the main concept and its essence are understood and it fills my heart with happiness to hear your words father. A big hug from Argentina.
The difference between a man and a boy is responsibility. Responsibility for himself, for those around him and to make a better future. A man needs to sort out 1. his fitness, 2. his livelihood and 3. what are important to him.
Thank you Father, Right on the nose. The world bribes us with visions of false mastery, but the Master Himself served everyone. A servant is not greater than his Master, so what have we signed up for...when we say "Lord, Lord?" Lord Jesus Christ have mercy, it's not easy.
Bless, Fr + Christ is Risen! Thank you for addressing this topic and for the distinction of our (human) created purpose; "To be gods (by grace)!", not to just be a "man". Thank you, Fr +
Father Moses, I'm glad to see you sharing your thoughts and wisdom here. I met you years ago at St. Seraphim's in Santa Rosa, and I still remember one thing you said to me, "The Liturgy is our life." Now I'm in Seminary, thank God.
I have been fasting for the love of Jesus Christ and it boosted my progress as a Christian. It is one of the most important things you can do. To free your self from addictions and witchcraft. But its difficult. But always do it for the love of god.
Thank you Father,this video has helped me immensely. Please pray im an Orthodox Christian who cannot attend liturgy due to distance (3 hrs drive each way) in rural Australia. Any ways better get back to stacking firewood.God bless you Father☦️🇦🇺
Thank you for the wisdom, Father. ☦️ Indeed, He is risen! I'm in month number 5 of my catechism. The spiritual warfare and fight for true masculinity has been the toughest battle of my life. It is like finally being able to look at myself in the mirror and see the filth that has plagued me for over a decade now come to fruition. The Ancient and true Faith has shown me the light. May the Lord continue to guide you as you shepherd your flock and share these UA-cam videos. ☦️
Also I thank God for your video because it constantly reaffirms me that the path of orthodoxy in pure discipline, humility, and having real accountability is the way. I just need patience.
Subscribed today!! Thank you Fr. Moses you are appreciated, May the lord continue to work through you to continue to love and talk to men to assist in leading us to him.
I like how we are to become united to Christ in the Church, not only as single persons individually but as a body (many human hypostases) in the hypostasis of Christ and this comes by conforming our wills to God's will; by total abandonment and renunciation of self -- this should be our chief goal! As St Maximus says, "...it is necessary for us to reunite the created nature to the uncreated nature through love . . .through the acquisition of grace being fulfilled in us in the person of Christ by the Holy Spirit and our own freedom." God is so good to us and offers us such great and wonderful gifts! Sharing your channel with my family. Thank you, Fr. Moses. God bless you and your family.
Thank you so much sir, and I couldn't agree more. I have some habits that need to be shed, but Christ is wonderful for transforming me into his direction.
OK, Michigan. Father. Moses!!!! I was looking for exactly your content for food etc through lent. Wow!!!!!!!!! Yeaaaaaars, nobody could help me!!!! (accept or the lord) but yeah, it was my power, going low, through lebt, eating uncontrolled etc.
Thank you, Fr. Moses, for your videos. I was raised in a non-religious jewish family. I am in my mid thirties now. 3 years ago I came to know that Jesus is God and Saviour, and the most important thing in my life is to follow Him. There has been a radical transformation of my life, all thanks to God. I started watching online videos of pastors, joined the Roman Catholic church briefly, but their actions during covid lead me to seek corporal worship elsewhere. I am a member of a reformed Protestant church, and have been for a couple of years. God has blessed my wife and I with a beautiful son and we have a daughter on the way. I still struggle with sin, although God has removed many many sins from my life already. I want to know God. I want my family to know God. I want us all to love God and obey Him in all things most of all. I find it hard to lead my family in this and my parts and grandparents are all afflicted by diseases and they may not have a lot of time left. I have been searching for answers from anyone who will speak with me. I have so many questions and you seem like you may have the answers I am looking for, LORD willing. Will you help me?
As I fall farther and father into this, I just can't care about the things I cared about. I just dont have that dog in me anymore to strive/greedily drag on towards wealth. God be merciful on me a sinner.
Ive been very blessed raised with a great dad. For me what i learned masculinity is from his example is the following 1. Nobel sacrifice 2. Dilligence 3. Protecting women, and the vunerable 4. Service 5. Supportiveness 6. Charity God bless my dad tho he is a mormon i pray he will come to the true faith and am ever gratefull for his example growing up.
I will seek the lost, bring back the scattered, bind up the broken and strengthen the sick; but the fat and the strong I will destroy. I will feed them with judgment.
This is a huge thought of my brain. 1.) Luke 21. Is it even ethical? 2.) I was saved by Jesus, then God, who is also Jesus. But that doesn't mean I am going in the direction, of Jesus. 3.) It's impossible for me to start a family, I was raised in child slavery, and can't even afford medical treatment, because of how the USA is set up, 4.) Now I have a guitar, no entertainment besides youtube and music, because I have been confronted by the Spirit, for watching adult netflix, and just looking at movie covers, shows me what I already know. I was electrocuted twice when I was 15, pruning a tree, and was saved by a female, who was either angle, or guardian spirit, she ordered me, "Drop the Pole", I was holding a pruning pole, and it saved my life. 5.) so now I am trying to get my mind to work, but cant engage people, because of my brain injuries, and my parents will not pay me wages for my child labor, from the age of 6 to 18, to about 21. 6.) I know Jesus is real, work in heavy equipment, and just know, that He is real. A movie like Old Yeller, may not be a problem, but personally, I just don't have time. But must entertainment, and modern music videos, is not of God.
What to do when you see that your biological father doesn't have faith and is being beaten by life? God bless, stay strong in Jesus Christ. PS All my family are non believers
Having trouble finding where it says in scripture that we are 'gods'. Only reference I can find is where the snake (AKA Satan) is telling Eve in the Garden, 'eat and you shall be as gods'. That didn't work out too well for us did it? Or do you worship Satan?
As Father Moses said, we do not partake in the essence of God. We become like Him by grace. We love, we do good, we become holy and incompatible with evil. We become gods not by being able to create ex nihilo or becoming omniscient, but by being sons and daughters who truly reflect our eternal Father.

I feel like masculinity is the ability to absorb pain and silence.
those are virtues the saints have, i wish i could have them.
Thankyou, father, for your lessons.

PS
All my family are non believers
Why am I so obsessed with hot women who I feel I never experienced in my youth. Think I trained myself on the superficial aspects.
I'll watch this if you post another video entitled hallmarks of a woman. Will you do that?
Ask Saint Joseph for intercession🙌🏼
I am here to sow the seeds not reap the harvest
Having trouble finding where it says in scripture that we are 'gods'. Only reference I can find is where the snake (AKA Satan) is telling Eve in the Garden, 'eat and you shall be as gods'. That didn't work out too well for us did it? Or do you worship Satan?
Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods"’? John 10:34
Your words are evil, and you should apologize.
What does it mean we are supposed to be “gods” isn’t this a Mormon idea?
As Father Moses said, we do not partake in the essence of God. We become like Him by grace. We love, we do good, we become holy and incompatible with evil. We become gods not by being able to create ex nihilo or becoming omniscient, but by being sons and daughters who truly reflect our eternal Father.
One hallmark of a man is not posting a picture of your family for the entire world to see
You should have kept doing psychedelics…….
Wow, soo much truth
Thank you Father
