Ben is the Editor-in-Chief of the North American branch of the Union of Orthodox Journalists as well as the author of the "Where the Wasteland Ends" Substack. Ben contrasts what he calls Christian Patriotism with Christian Nationalism and what he sees as the Orthodox view of each.

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 before the 19th century. Fr. John Whiteford is the pastor of St. Jonah Orthodox Church (ROCOR) in Spring, Texas. He is the author of Sola Scriptura: An Orthodox Analysis of the Cornerstone of Reformation Theology, published by Conciliar Press, and the general editor of the St. Innocent Liturgical Calendar.   Sponsors: Tiger Fitness:   Sheath Underwear:   Code: Counterflow Donate to the show here:   Visit my website:   Audio Production by Podsworth Media:   Leave us a review and rating on Apple Podcasts!

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 on. We also get into the new Zine they're putting out over at which YOU should check out now!

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 in this episode, and it is a journey that I think you will find quite beautiful.

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 be red flags showing that some of the legacy liars are infiltrating our spaces.

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 reasons the Orthodox Church has seen such a rise in attendance. What are the dangers of this new period of grace it feels like we've been given? We discuss this and more on this episode of Counterflow.

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 wished us to be locked in our homes? We also get into the recent discussion online as to whether or not it's "priestly" to work out and post about it. Does becoming fit and strong make one subject to the sin of vanity?
