Without Christ, Everything is Permitted | Protodeacon Fr. Patrick Mitchell

Without Christ, Everything is Permitted | Protodeacon Fr. Patrick Mitchell

Hey everyone,

I just released a new conversation exploring themes from Fr. Patrick Mitchell’s book „Christ as Truth, Truth as Christ: Why the Ancients Chose Christ, Why We Must Also“.

We look at:

  • What objective truth is and what the "Five Enemies of Truth" (Gnosticism, Romanticism, Anarchism, Nihilism, and Tribalism) are.
  • The ultimate limits of ancient Greek philosophy in securing a foundation for truth.
  • Why only Christ is a secure foundation for believing in truth and morality.

You can watch the discussion here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvF6vURKIvM&t=29s&pp=0gcJCRMMAYcqIYzv

Let me know what you think!

🔗 Watch the full conversation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KD9hHx-845k

Hey everyone,

In a culture caught between weak and toxic role models, many young men are searching for truth and discipline.

I sat down with Paul Robson (Path of Manliness) to discuss:

  • Why secular self-improvement falls short
  • What traditional Christian manhood actually is
  • How the Saints serve as our ultimate blueprints

Would love to hear your thoughts on how we can better encourage young men to embrace authentic Christian virtue today.

Tolkien's Sacramental Worldview

Greetings, everyone! I’ve been reflecting a lot on J.R.R. Tolkien’s work lately—specifically, how deeply his faith shapes Middle-earth. Is Middle-earth merely a heroic myth, or is it fundamentally rooted in a Christian, sacramental worldview?

I recently had the privilege of discussing this exact topic with author Michael Haldas, focusing on the Christian metaphysics and typology embedded in The Lord of the Rings.

For anyone interested in a deep dive into Tolkien’s theology, here is the full conversation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2M_CFWJ8Xg

I’d love to hear your thoughts 👇
