Ep. 100 - ’Pentecostalism, Methodism, and Anglicanism’ w/ Br. Daniel Klawitter

Brother Daniel Klawitter, a deacon in the Anglican tradition, joins to me discuss his evolution and journey through different stages of Protestantism, as well as his appreciation for Orthodox Christianity. This is such a great talk! We get pretty deep into different traditions here, and I'm so appreciative for Daniel to take the time to chat. He is a lovely human with a wealth of information. Here are some links to his content and published books: https://wipfandstock.com/9781666759518/where-sun...

Ep. 99 - ’Paradise & Utopia - The Age of Paradise - Pt. 1’ - Joined by Buck Johnson from Counterflow

Buck Johnson joins me in this first part of a multi-part series exploring "Paradise & Utopia - The Rise & Fall of What the West Once Was" by Fr. John Strickland. Paradise & Utopia is a four part anthology on the history of Christendom from Pentecost to today. In this first book, subtitled "The Age of Paradise - Christendom from Pentecost to The First Millenium," Fr. Strickland covers 1000 years of Church history in 281 pages, a feat that's as daunting as it is amazing. In this first ...

Ep. 98 - ’Theology Has Real World Consequences! Essence, Energies, Revelation, and Truth.’

Today we give an energic primer on some basic theological and philosophical principles and paradigms, as we look to flesh these out more in the future. My friend Anthony joins and shares his conversion story as he came to Orthodox Christianity. We discuss the real world consequences of what many people in the modern age see as semantic non-sequiturs. I tried to keep this as accessible as I could, because I know there are listeners and viewers with varying degrees of knowledge and experience, and...

Ep. 97 - ’The Reality of Spiritual Warfare’ w/ Father Turbo Qualls

"Spiritual Warfare" is a term that gets thrown around like a frisbee. But early on, years ago, we were hitting on how it's real, how it's important, and how it affects you whether you believe in it or not. Father Turbo Qualls joins me to share his expertise on spiritual warfare, how we approach it with a holistic perspective in Orthodox Christianity, and what we can do when it turns into actual material warfare. We also spend a few minutes hitting on theology, philosophy, pyschology, and even re...

Ep. 96 - ’Prayer & Purpose’ w/ Father Zechariah Lynch

A few weeks ago, I posted a question on Facebook asking what came to mind when someone thought of the word "prayer." I love these anecdotal polls because they help me understand people who think differently than I do. I'm humbled and grateful for that. I asked Father Zechariah Lynch to join me to discuss what the Orthodox Christian conception of prayer is, and we discuss that as well as other training tools that us Orthodox Christians can utilize to become closer to Christ. In truth, I could hav...

Ep. 95 - ’A Future and A Hope’ w/ Brian Stanford

Jeremiah 29 - 10:12 (ESV) “For thus says the LORD: When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will visit you, and I will fulfill to you my promise and bring you back to this place. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you." Brian Stanford joins me to share his amazing journey to Orthodox Christianity. There's a lot here to unpack, and I'...

Ep. 93 - ’Accessing The Spiritual Realm’ w/ Macey Tomlin

Macey Tomlin joins to me to share what is, in my opinion, one of the most unique spiritual journeys to Christ I've ever heard. I'm still processing all of the information, but I know you're going to be blown away by this story! Macey was a huge part of the anarchist community for many years, but has since distanced herself to focus on her family and her ayahuasca practice. Having seen Christ, and experienced the power and overwhelming joy of the Holy Spirit, she's found herself in a place she ne...

Ep. 92 - ’Why Homer? An Eastern Understanding’ w/ Dr. Eirene Allen

As listeners of the show know by now, I was raised surrounded by books. The "Classics" made up the backbone of our home library, and I was enthralled with tales of Odysseus and Achilles from an early age. My father was a professor in Greek and Roman mythology, his classes routinely being the most popular at the college. I often wondered though, are we reading these stories from a perspective congruent with how the author intended? If there's one consistent theme underlying the atrocities of our ...

Ep. 91 - ’Catechesis’ w/ Buck Johnson

"Catechesis" from the Greek "κατήχησις" means "instruction/informed by word of mouth", generally "instruction." In a general sense, we all are being "instructed" every day. Whether it be through our familiar traditions, state education, TV, media, politics, etc., what we focus on (what we are informed by) leads us to who we ultimately become. When used in the tradition of Christianity, however, it is how we come to know Christ. St Justin Martyr, in First Apology, says, "As many as are persuaded ...

Ep. 90 - ’They’re Not Your Friend’ w/ Cyprian (Vin)

Two weeks to Christmas, and I see you getting all Christmas-y. Put the 'Christ back in Christmas' amirite? What if we started to put the Christmas back into Christ, instead? One of the nagging intellectual hangnails I've been tugging at over the last few years, is this apparent societal need to find a materialist "foil" to the atheist materialism of the lunatic left. It seems that anyone who says the left is nutso, is all of a sudden the new hero for those of us who aren't clinically insane. But...

Ep. 89 - ’High Trust Cultures’ w/ Pete Quinones

Back in June, I chatted with Pete of The Pete Quinones Show. We talked about what had been going on during my hiatus from Yer Talkin Over Me, and what my vision was in continuing (if at all) the podcast. One of the themes that continues to play out, and we touched on it here, is how internal and external trust helps forge a people group. It's so interesting to look back on an episode I recorded six months ago. I hope it will start to round out the picture of where I'm going. Over the next few we...

Ep. 88 - ’Eastern & Western Phronema and Nous’ w/ Matt Erickson

As the show segues through a much-needed re-brand, I invited my good friend Matt Erickson back on to help explain our journeys over the last couple of years and how we might help relate what we have learned to others. We touch mainly on the different ideas of Western vs Eastern Christianity, and the impact these differences have not just on the Christian life but Christiandom as a culture.

Niklas Blanchard @cheapseatsecon joins me again to continue our conversation on Accelerationism. One of the necessary bumps in the road we have to traverse on this journey is probably my least favorite thinker of all time: one, David Hume. We talk about Hume's writings on passions, free will, religion, and the psychological nature of human action and expression.

I'm so happy to welcome Jessica Smith to the show! We go back several years, and Jessica is one of the first people I ever routinely engaged with on the concepts of libertarianism on social media. One of the reasons I can even speak reliably on anarchism, libertarianism, and voluntaryism, is because we were able to talk so much over the years. We've stayed close, she's an absolute gem, and I'm honored to be able to host her on her debut podcast! Check her out on Twitter at @jess_bbg...
