Unfortunately, guys like Taco and NeedGod have closed themselves off into their respective Protestant bubbles. We need to pray for their conversion because they don't know what they're attacking, and they'll be held accountable. Your Baptist/Pentecostal great grandma who did nothing but pray for people and serve God in the way she knew will not be held accountable like these guys who obstinately attack the Church. Lord have mercy.

Fr Ron is my 1st priest online (if I may say it that way). My brother Riley shared about Orthodoxy with me and he asked Fr Ron to allow me to have access to their online catechism class. I was an inquirer that time. Thanks to my brother and Fr Ron, now I am a Catechumen.

26:50 That Taco Talks guy was shadowboxing himself and losing lmao

As an ex protestant myself, I am so tired of the constant disrespect towards Orthodoxy, it's hard to stay humble/respectful when you come across this level of arrogance and ignorance on a daily basis. It's just so disingenuous, they go out of their way to exaggerate and twist the truth to paint us in a false light. No humility, no respect, all pride and ego. Which, if their arguments actually held water could even be justified to an extent, but they don't.

The way Fr. Ron seems excited to talk about the Faith is truly inspiring.

Fr. Ron has an unbelievable ability to cook while remaining pleasant and personable. Thank God that we have him.

27:57 Back when I held to sola fide, I was in our young adults Bible study. I said that a person believing in Jesus Christ was the necessary precondition for their salvation. This one girl (who constantly just wanted to debate me, I don’t know why) got upset because I said belief was a “precondition.” I guess it sounded too much like works-based salvation to her. Protestants are so scared of the slightest implication that we might have something to do with our salvation.

25:21 The irony is he makes Orthodoxy sound really good here compared to the snarky dialectical comments he’s making as his Protestant self 😂 Lord have mercy on this guy, he’s kinda nasty.

This man is a treasure, a gemstone if you will, or as the ancients would say of iron, metal from heaven.

This was a great stream, like always Cleave. Thank you for bringing Father Ron on, he cooked so well Gordon Ramsy will eat even the plates Father served. This was edifying and a great stream to look back on for studying. God bless ☦️🙏

Thank you for introducing me to Fr. Ron, hes got a new subscriber for sure! God bless the both of you thank you for the videos!!

Credit where credit is due, that is an excellent Orthodox accent.

great stream, please have fr ron on again

1:15:20 “God has His list of commandments and then He’s got His recommendations” Fr. Ron is hilarious!

Prayers for the departed: I pray the Jesus prayer on their behalf, I say Lord have mercy on (the departed) and Lord remember them in your Kingdom. 🙏☦️

Great show, man. Please clip the 'pebble in the shoe' about the same faith as Nicaea so I can share with Prot friends!  It was powerful!

Your content, topics, guests..everything is gold❤
God bless you, Ben😊

“Little cold last night” as I watch this it is -5 in Pennsylvania

I loved listening to this stream live as a serious inquirerer into Orthodoxy 🙏🏻☦️ thank you Cleave and Father Ron 🫡

Father Ron was great! Just subscribed. He got me realizing things I'd never seen in the Bible before. Absolutely fascinating! And he's got a very likable personality. I hope you two collab again.
