  1. The Surprising Link Between Western Heresies and Orthodox Baptismal Practices

    The Surprising Link Between Western Heresies and Orthodox Baptismal Practices

    Welcome back to the Let's be friends podcast. Back on the show, Father Peter Heers is here for part 2 of our chat about baptism.  You may know Father Peter Heers from his popular online and YouTube account, Orthodox Ethos. Father Peter is a priest of the Romanian Orthodox Archdiocese of the United States of America and assistant priest of the Holy Protection of the Mother of God Orthodox Church in Houston, TX. He is also the founder of Uncut Mountain Press. In this episode we discuss the unvarnished truth about Orthodox baptism and the overused practice of economia—what the church fathers truly teach and why modern departures threaten our salvation. When does a deviation undermine the very mysteries of the faith? And how does the historical patristic consensus challenge today's widespread laxity? In this compelling episode, Father Peter Heers unpacks the vital distinction between legitimate economia and dangerous innovations that distort the sacred mysteries. You’ll learn how saints like Saint Basil and Canon 47 of St. Basil of the Council of Trullo uphold the necessity of proper reception for converts and how recent shortcuts risk undermining the divine grace bestowed through authentic sacraments. We break down the crucial criteria set by the church to distinguish temporary pastoral exceptions from systemic errors, emphasizing the importance of faithfulness to the Fathers' teachings. In the episode, we discuss Father Peter’s book, The Reception of the Heterodox into the Orthodox Church, which offers clarity on complex issues such as improper reception, rebaptism, and the dangerous shift from canonical practice to ecumenical compromise. You’ll discover why the practice of pouring water instead of immersion is not only heretical but also spiritually perilous, and how saints and councils historically handled such deviations. Join us to understand how the loss of proper baptism and adherence to the church’s tradition risks opening the door to spiritual danger, including the influence of heresies and the rise of anti-Christian forces. Equip yourself with the knowledge to defend the divine mysteries with confidence, and help restore the sacred posture of the church in our tumultuous times.

    The Hidden History of the Great Schism & It’s Impact on Christian Unity Today

    Welcome back to the Let's be friends podcast. With us today is Father Peter Heers.  You may know Father Peter Heers from his popular online and YouTube account, Orthodox Ethos. Father Peter is a priest of the Romanian Orthodox Archdiocese of the United States of America and assistant priest of the Holy Protection of the Mother of God Orthodox Church in Houston, TX. He is also the founder of Uncut Mountain Press.  In this episode he unpacks why the ancient Church insisted on baptism, chrismation, and communion happening together—and what’s at stake when modern churches split these sacraments apart. You’ll discover how the divine energies and the patristic consensus affirm that initiation into Christ can only be fully realized within the Orthodox faith. His insights draw from centuries of tradition, ecumenical councils, and the unbroken apostolic link that defines true Christian unity. We break down the theological error of Protestant "baptism alone" and explore the dangerous drift caused by Western schisms, especially the Great Schism of 1054 and the Papacy’s unilateral authority. Father Peter discusses the heresies that led to Christ’s Church fracturing, the influence of the filioque, and how ecumenism is paving a way toward a false global unity—one that risks aligning with the Antichrist’s heretical deception.

Struggle is an essential part of the true Christian life. If we truly are to pick up our cross and follow Christ, we should expect trials and tribulations—the hard part? Being able to count them all as joy.

    Occult Madness: Psychological & Spiritual Healing with Ft. Turbo Qualls

    Welcome back to the Let's Be Friends podcast!  With us today is guest Father Turbo Qualls. The allure of the occult has fascinated humankind for centuries, promising secret knowledge, power and healing. However, practicing the occult and New Age can lead to major psychological distress and spiritual turmoil. Join Father Turbo and me in a deep conversation about psychological/spiritual healing from an Orthodox perspective. Father Turbo is an Orthodox priest and the rector at St. Mary of Egypt Orthodox Church in Kansas City, Missouri. He is a host of the Royal Path Podcast, an iconographer, and spiritual director for both the Convent of the Mother of God Seeker of the Lost, which is an urban monastic community, and the Mount Tabor School of Liberal Arts, which provides classical education that is rooted in Orthodox tradition.  In our conversation Father Turbo and I also discuss how Gnosticism not only found its way into popular culture but also into the Protestant church and why we believe the Orthodox church is the only path that leads to full healing—the narrow path that Jesus Christ laid out. Father Turbo also dispels the Millennial Kingdom Heresy, also known as Chiliasm. We discuss the Christian/Antichrist Hegelian dialectic, the dangers of the rabbit hole, mind programming and occultists, why trusting the plan is a trap, and why we need to die to this world instead of hoping for a solution to fiscal problems that will never come.

    What is Salvation? Storm Trooping Evangelism vs Orthodox Christianity | Fr. Seraphim Holland

    Welcome back to the Let's be friends podcast!  With us today is a new friend, Father Seraphim Holland, of St. Nicholas Orthodox Church. You may know Father Seraphim Holland from his social media or YouTube channel, OrthodoxNet, or maybe, like me, he came into your algorithm when a Protestant woman named Sarah came to him on the streets of Athens, storm-trooping him with evangelism. Father Seraphim responded to her with such love, patience, knowledge, and kindness—he caught my attention, and I know many others.  In our chat we cover many of the initial questions new converts to orthodoxy have. We discuss the importance of baptism with chrismation, prayer and the power of the Jesus Prayer, what “works-based” means, how to pray, what it means to pray without ceasing, keeping your mind on Christ, an alternative view on Charlie Kirk, new heresies, baptismal theology, “nice Jesus,” the ecumenism movement, being a new creation in Christ, Protestantism vs. Orthodoxy, acquiring the spirit of peace, Saint Seraphim of Sarov, and what salvation is.

  6. The Schizo Cult that Runs the World

    The Schizo Cult that Runs the World

    On this episode of the Let’s Be Friends podcast, we are once again joined by frequent contributor and impromptu co-host, Nick Hinton. Recently, we discussed how psyops are being used to convince conspiracy theorists that we are in the apocalyptic last days of the Bible. However, these “prophecies” require no spiritual eyes to discern. Instead, they must be decoded using occult knowledge that truly makes people crazy. So, who’s actually orchestrating these psyops? Why do they want to drive people crazy? Does this cultish cabal consider their insanity a religion they want the masses initiated into? This seems to be the case! And it becomes more obvious once you see how their religion is a combination of every esoteric belief system, which they seem to be normalizing through strange headlines and nonsensical world events.

    Psypocalypse

    On today’s episode of Let’s Be Friends, our frequent guest and contributor Nick Hinton returns to take a second look at the fake apocalypse theory we discussed back in 2022. Since then, it seems some of the predictions we made have come to pass, including the false revival, the right-wing taking over the country, conspiracies going mainstream, and the arrival of an AI antichrist spirit that’s influencing leaders like Donald Trump and Elon Musk. We also discuss other subjects from the previous series, like the false gospel of churchianity. However, we discuss it from our new orthodox perspective. It turns out the Holy Fathers already had a name for this! They called it moralism, which was the same sickness the Pharisees suffered from. It is the opposite of holiness, which is an internal transformation of the heart accomplished by God, rather than a superficial change of behavior accomplished by our own effort.
