    The Rise of the Byzantine Beard Empire w/ John Mance

    John Mance is the founder of Byzantine Beard. In today's interview we get to know the founder and discuss how Byzantine Beard came to be. We will also be discussing our products in detail. You will find out in this interview the philosophy behind our products, why we chose the ingredients we chose, and how to use our pure and all natural beard oils and balms.Our products are available at www.byzantinebeard.comAbout Byzantine Beard:At Byzantine Beard we have created a line of beard care products inspired by the monks of the Byzantine Empire who never cut their hair - and most certainly not their beards! Our monastic blend beard oil and beard balm are the highest quality beard care products on the market, which help you to achieve thicker, stronger, healthier beards. We chose all natural ingredients, avoiding harsh chemicals and additives, and kept to the rule that if it isn't good for you it doesn't go in the product.John Mance, the founder of Byzantine Beard, has been selling beard oil and beard balm at a local Saturday market in Oregon for a number of years, and has long desired to sell his products online. A small problem presented itself however: he was not very familiar with the use of technology. That's where our online sales manager Young Penitent comes into the picture. John and YP became friends when the latter would frequent the Byzantine Beard stall at the market, and John saw that this was someone that he could trust to bring his beard oil products to a wider market. And so we made a deal, not in writing but relying on the old-fashioned method of a handshake, to team up and launch a web-store.As Christian men, we support the tradition of growing out our beards, which has it's roots going all the way back to the Old Testament. Anointing oneself with oil was common back then, as it says in the Psalm: "oil to make his face shine". It is not a requirement for a Christian man to grow out a beard, but we think it is a good practice that should be encouraged.

    Discerning a Monastic Vocation w/ Nathaniel

    We are bringing back Nathaniel onto the channel. In his last appearance we discussed the time he spent on Mt. Athos. Touching on a similar theme, today we will be discussing the process of discerning for oneself whether they have a monastic vocation. Both Nathaniel and I have gone through this process and we both have an enduring love for the monastic habit. Nathaniel has had close contact with the monks on Mt. Athos, and he has the unique ability of being able to put those experiences into words.If you are not yet sure what your calling in life is, we invite you consider the monastic path. Visit monasteries. Talk to monks. Monasticism really is the heart of the Christian church, and it would be a benefit to all to become familiar with it's ways. Even if you decide that monasticism is not the path for you, hopefully you develop an appreciation for what it means to live a life consecrated to God.Get in touch with Nathaniel: https://linktr.ee/bodilessvoiceNathaniel's YouTube channel: @puritasfidesveritas ______________________________________________________Young Penitent Links:Beard Oil: https://www.byzantinebeard.com/Telegram Announcements Channel: https://t.me/+jITpv7gWcE9hM2IxTelegram Chatroom: https://t.me/+jITpv7gWcE9hM2IxTwitter/X: https://x.com/youngpenitentDonate to Young Penitent via Paypal here: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/youngpenitentSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1MqPG5CgYnmMrQ5h8DUcSAApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/young-penitent/id1709812607🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?
