    The Good Struggle: Fighting our Demons with Father Paul Truebenbach

    Welcome back to the Let’s be friends podcast with us today is Father Paul Truebenbach. Father Paul is the presiding priest of St. Peter and Paul’s Orthodox Church in Salt Lake City, Utah. You may know Father Paul from his popular YouTube channel, where he discusses life-changing Orthodox books, the lives of the Saints, and shares his 15 part Catechism series.  In our episode today we discuss "the good struggle." 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. Watch video on YouTube Summary In this engaging conversation, Father Paul Truebenbach shares his journey to Orthodoxy, the significance of suffering, and the role of demons in spiritual warfare. He emphasizes the importance of struggle in faith, the necessity of humility, and the transformative power of grace. Through personal testimonies and insights, the discussion explores the depth of Orthodox Christianity and the call to experience God beyond mere intellectual understanding. In this enlightening conversation, Fr. Paul Truebenbach and Kara Mosher explore the intersection of mental health, spirituality, and the Orthodox faith. They discuss how to transform personal struggles, such as anxiety and depression, into opportunities for prayer and compassion.

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

    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.

  4. Psypocalypse

    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.
