Conrad Fraz is back with us this week. Conrad is one of the two excellent hosts of the World War Now podcast. Conrad and I discuss the kinetic conflicts going on in several hot spots around the globe as viewed from an Orthodox lens. We discuss what happened in Syria as well. Why is Israel always pushing for war and conflict around the globe? Many Orthodox Christian Saints have prophecies they've made regarding these issues. We discuss those and more on this episode of Counterflow. For Conrad's work,

Father John Whiteford is back with us this week to discuss C.I. Scofield, J.N. Darby, and their incorrect theology. The Scofield Reference Bible is a very common Bible found in homes and churches all across America. It is where the very modern ideas of dispensationalism, the pre-tribulation rapture, and a few other incorrect theological issues come from. We discuss who invented these ideas, how Zionists have used them to further dangerous policies, and why no Christian ever believed these ideas

My guest this week is Mano Elia from the Study of Stuff Podcast and the Bored No More Network. Mano was born into an Orthodox Christian family and strayed from the faith as he ventured into Hermeticism and the Dark Arts. He has now returned to the Orthodox faith, is well versed in the occult, and is here to warn folks against it. Hermeticism is the inverse of Christianity and in this chat, he explains that step by step. We get into the dangers of TikTok spirituality, witchcraft, astrology, and so

This week, my guest is Joseph Beard. Joseph is a catechumen and soon-to-be baptized Orthodox Christian. He grew up the son of a Baptist preacher, and his family moved from town to town as various controversies followed his father. Along the way, he got into various subculture scenes and was able to maintain his faith as God sprinkled breadcrumbs along the way that would ultimately lead him to the Orthodox church. Joseph discusses the push out of Protestantism and the pull into Christ's True Church

Charlie Robinson is back with us this week. Charlie runs the MacroAggressions podcast, is an author, and owns the Activist Post and Natural Blaze. Today we are covering a very happy and beautiful topic: the death of the legacy media. This is a very well deserved and self-inflicted death. Charlie goes over stats and ratings with us as well, and it is truly fascinating just how poorly these multi-million-dollar media companies are doing. We also discuss what to look for in alternative media that may

Fr. Joshua Genig is the rector of St. Innocent of Irkutsk Russian Orthodox Church & Chapel of St. John the Wonderworker in Redford, MI. They have seen a massive growth in the number of parishioners in the last five years. With this can come many important challenges, including proper catechesis, baptism, teaching, and more. There has been an age of revelation in recent years where many people are waking up from their collective slumber and seeing certain truths like never before. This is one of many

My guest this week writes at and is a priest in the Orthodox Church. He is Father Zechariah Lynch. Fr. Zechariah and I get into the issue of Christians resisting evil... or not. If we call out something as wrong, evil, or dangerous, some are quick to tell us that we are being judgmental and not very Christian. Are we to be pacifists and let people do as they will? What about during the pandemic? Are we wrong to call out those who wanted experimental medicine forced on us? What about those who

Her new book, "Here Comes Trouble", is a very good read filled with interesting stories, some of which we cover in this episode. Kara was deep into the occult as well as being a psychic medium. Once she discovered the reality of Christ, she turned to Christianity. This took her through Protestantism and finally to the Orthodox Church. Come along with us on this fascinating

Today, I have Fr. John Whiteford and Jim Jatras back on the show. We are breaking down and answering critiques that were presented by Pastor Joel Webbon, Pastor J. Chase Davis, and others in a podcast from Right Response Ministries called "Why Young Men Are Flocking To Eastern Orthodoxy" (). Right Response Ministries is a Protestant group, and they have several very good podcast episodes; they're definitely not enemies. We disagree on how they present the Orthodox Church, though, and that's why we

Father Peter Heers is back on the show, and we are discussing the themes in the book, "On the Reception of the Heterodox Into the Orthodox Church", published by Uncut Mountain Press. There are some converts to Orthodoxy who want to be baptized into the Church, yet they are told their previous baptism was just fine, so they only need Chrismation. Is this the view of the Church Fathers? What is the exception? Is this done in a manner that is consistent with the Saints and the Patrisitc writings? Is

My guest this week runs the fantastic YouTube channel, Unto Ages. We are discussing a much used term that is based in an obvious contradiction: Judeo-Christianity. Why are these two words combined to mean something coherent when they aren't at all the same? It may seem trivial to some, but it's having very negative effects on geopolitics. It's also incorrect theology, so we feel it helpful to explain that as well. We get into this, Zionism, Israel, the antichrist, and more. Donate to the show here:

We are discussing a theme that runs through a few of his pieces there ( and ), and that is the culture of narcissism that is rampant in our modern society. Because of social media, we see it much more often than we should. Two ways it manifests are with something called "main character syndrome" and the "spiritual, not religious" folks.

Stormy Waters is back with us this week for a follow-up to last week's discussion that goes in a bit of a different direction than the economic outlook chat from that episode. Stormy gets into where knowledge comes from, why females have a more accurate intuition than males, and which part of society and culture is able to see what is being revealed in this current age. This is a fascinating discussion, and I think it'll make you think. CAUTION: Some curse words are used. Check Out MIRONCHUCK NOW -
