As a catechumen in the Holy Orthodox Church one observation I have made and something I truly love about the Orthodox Church is that every priest I have met in person and every priest and monk I’ve watched on YouTube just exudes so much love and kindness it is unreal. I truly feel like all priests and monks are like a true father to me on earth and I pray to God to have just a tiny amount of the love of fellow man and of God that all the Fathers have.

Father, I am an Amazon delivery driver and I have listened to Matt Walsh daily for news of the world for over two years. Please be assured that his apparent belief in UFOs is a long running joke. Matt has an extremely dry sense of humor and he loves playing deadpan. His "belief" in UFOs is an ironic affectation. He definitely does not take this phenomenon seriously and I believe that this joke of his arises from an observation that people are astonishingly credulous on such flimsy evidence. I have never seen any UFO "evidence" that wasn't either a fake or an artifact of imperfect technology. He is mocking UFO believers with an exaggerated enthusiasm and seriousness.

A protestant here and really appreciate the clear messaging you give. There is so much walk in the weeds on this topic. Have not seen anything else from you so far, but this inspires to see more.
Clear teaching is what people respect.

God Bless you Father.

I actually came to Orthodoxy through the sort of gnostic-theosophic-platonic traditionalism online info movements. It was a good learning experience for me, but ultimately I found the Truth through Orthodoxy that showed me the heretical views I was interested in. Thank you Lord.

I’ve witnessed things in my life that I would flatly call demonic. But the demons erred; they sought to turn me away from Christ. But them making themselves known to me only drove me deeper into Christ’s arms.

God bless you all. And never fear them, they are already defeated by Christ Jesus.

Really looking forward to this since I saw the notification yesterday! I was an occult practitioner and believed in different kinds of aliens and ghosts. I will however be baptized into the Church within a few weeks! I’ve left it behind as much as I know.

It will be good to receive the Orthodox perspective on this to “tighten any loose ends” lest I be offending God in regards to this.

Thank you so much.

i grew up in the punk and metal scene too. its full of people seeking something real and settling for what makes them feel good.

I finished The Ladder of Divine Ascent again and made an outline summarizing the steps. That way I can work on those things I'm the weakest.
Those items I'm weak on in no particular order are:
Step eleven - Controlling my tongue.
Step thirteen - Defeatism.
Step 14 - Don't over eat.
Step 21 - Courage.
Step 26 - Knowing myself.

Please speak more on that, “demons tied to blood lines” and how that is broken.

I think Father Heers forgot to do his punk scene homework. I was expecting more discussion about the nihilism/anarchy/chaos aspect of the punk rock scene in the 80's and 90:s, instead of the more esoteric occult.I really appreciate Father Valdez because I was a punk back in the 90's in Denver and we would grab every zine we could at places like Tower Records when we weren't skating. I had developed the hopelessness of the 80's regarding nuclear war with the USSR and no chance of ever being rich or successful. Thanks to both of you.

All I know is in the beginning it's exciting and interesting but later you realise you opened the door to evil and gave them permission to enter your life and torment you!!!!! Years and years later I'm still struggling.dont get fooled thinking it's innocent. I won't read even horoscopes anymore

Thank you Fathers for this edifying and fascinating discussion. This information is more important now than at any other time. While it's helpful to us faithful, I imagine it would make a big impact to those outside and looking in.
Glory to God! 🙏☦️

Wow, I felt that exactly too as a child; down to being afraid to go outside or look outside of windows after dark for fear of ‘aliens’….my dad also always said ‘I will volunteer us to go with them if they touch down’ and that just made it worse…..
