  Sola Scriptura And Other Choose Your Own Adventures - Witness Weekly - "Authority?" Episode | (Uncut) (Unedited) 14.08.2026 1h 1m

  This version of this episode has been available to Cloud of Witnesses Patreons since July 11th, 2026. We dig into what “authority” really means, starting with current events and ending with the uncomfortable question behind so many hot takes: who gave you the right to define Christianity. We push back on DIY faith, argue that real authority looks like service and sacrifice, and trace why the Orthodox Church treats tradition as an inheritance that keeps the fire alive. • St Cat...

  The Great Orthodox Surge Continues | Witness Weekly 004 10.08.2026 40m

  Something unusual is happening across American Christianity: more people are walking into Orthodox parishes, signing up as catechumens, and staying long enough to be reshaped by the Divine Liturgy. We zoom in on what that “Orthodox surge” looks like on the ground, from standing-room-only Sundays to communities talking seriously about planting multiple missions because their current buildings cannot hold the crowd. ***** Music: ⁨@neffexmusic⁩ "Manifest It" (Instrumental) ***** Witnes...

  Attorney Turned Orthodox Apologist - with Alex Sorin 05.08.2026 17m

  He “blew up overnight” but the real story is years of research, catechesis, and court-tested thinking. Why does a trial lawyer’s mindset work so well for Orthodox apologetics? Cloud of Witnesses Mario Andrew, Jeremy Jeremiah, Michael, and James St Simon talk with online Orthodox Christian apologist Alex Sorin (https://www.youtube.com/@Alex_Ortodoxie/videos) and we wrestle with a challenging line from Father Josiah Trenham: the Church doesn’t need you to defend her. So what is apologetics for...

  No More Torah Observance: Finding True Christianity Through Trial & Trauma | Voice of Taylor Speaks (Uncut) (Unedited) - (Special Edition) 04.08.2026 1h 33m

  This edition was available to Cloud of Witnesses Patreons since July 6, 2026. Her dad died by suicide when she was 9 and it rewired everything. Years later, a hunger for truth pulled her from non-denominational church to Hebrew Roots, then to Orthodox liturgy. A faith crisis rarely starts with an abstract argument. Sometimes it starts with a funeral, a silent house, and a kid trying to understand why a father is suddenly gone. Our guest Taylor Biss (Voice of Taylor on Instagram) joins Jere...

  What's the Point of Christopher Nolan's Film The Odyssey? 31.07.2026 13m

  We wrestle with the moral cost of war through a modern Odyssey lens, especially what it means to see the divine image in people you might be ordered to kill. We ask whether “necessary” violence can ever be clean, and why the ones who protect everyone else often carry scars the rest of us never have to bear. • Athena’s beheading as a symbol of desecration and conscience • war as ugly even when defense feels necessary • Zeus’s law of hospitality set against survival and self-...

  Ancient Christian Faith Against The Modern Secular Drift | Witness Weekly 004 "That" Episode 30.07.2026 46m

  We connect headlines, books, and everyday dating talk to one repeating theme: we blame the world to avoid looking at our own hearts. We argue that Orthodoxy answers secular modern habits by restoring a sacramental view of worship, marriage, and repentance. • praying for peace while discussing the damaged Dormition Cathedral in Kyiv • Metropolitan Saba on secularism shaping prayer, fasting, marriage, and death • challenging materialism and “Western baggage” that flattens spi...

  The Odyssey's Best Moments: Yes It Might Surprise You (There Are Many) 26.07.2026 13m

  The movie many are hating on for the wrong reasons! This is not the movie they think it is. Cloud of Witnesses, Jeremy Jeremiah, James St Simon, Michael, and Mario Andrew, break down the most unforgettable moments from Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey and why the homecoming story hits harder when the music, visuals, and symbols keep pointing back to love and loss. We wrestle with the film’s biggest moral turn: the fear of an outside enemy flips into the recognition that we might be the ...

  Christians Built Their Own Netflix? The Future of Christian Media & Content with Logos Cinema 21.07.2026 1h 8m

  Deplatforming is real. So two Orthodox filmmakers built their own infrastructure: “an Orthodox Netflix” designed to outlast trends and serve truth, goodness, and beauty. You can feel it the moment you walk into an Orthodox church: beauty isn’t decoration, it’s a doorway. That’s the thread we pull with Logos Cinema (https://www.logoscinema.com/) founders Zachary Delaney and Andrew Stokich as they explain why they’re building what many are calling “an Orthodox Netflix” and why it has to ...

  Christian Authority: Orthodox vs Protestant | Witness Weekly | WW003 15.07.2026 59m

  The Authority Crisis Inside Christianity: If the Bible Is the Answer... Who Interprets It? Who decides? “Jesus is Lord + baptized in the Spirit = you’re set.” Sounds simple… but who gets to define those words? We dig into authority, sola scriptura, and why interpretation without a Church fractures faith. Listen and tell us: who’s your authority? Authority shapes everything, from how we read the Bible to how we treat the people sitting next to us in church. We start with a blunt comment that...

  What Every Christian Should Know About Spiritual Warfare: You're Fighting the Wrong (Daily) Battle 13.07.2026 29m

  Most Christians Misunderstand Spiritual Warfare Tarot, “spiritual but not religious,” self-medication, therapy culture. Why are people chasing spiritual answers everywhere except the Church? We dig into the hunger underneath it all. Spiritual warfare gets weird fast if we only talk about the most extreme cases. We wanted to bring it back to real life: the battle you feel in temptation, shame, anxiety, isolation, and that quiet voice that says, “You are on your own.” From our new studio setu...

  The Unity Crisis in Christianity: Christian News Church Unity & the Future of the Faith | WW Ep.02 03.07.2026 42m

  If “Bible alone” is the one thing thousands of denominations share, why so many interpretations? We dig into humility, Church fathers, and who decides what’s “faithful.” Unity sounds like a warm word until you try to live it with real people, real history, and real politics. Witness Weekly hosts Mario Andrew, Jeremy Jeremiah, James St Simon, and Michael start with Orthodox news that instantly raises eyebrows: Patriarch Theophilos of Jerusalem awards President Donald Trump the Grand Cross of ...

  Who Gets To Define What A Man Is? | Extended Conversation with Christian Deacon and LMFT 22.06.2026 48m

  Why Men Feel Lost (And How to Find Direction) Masculinity has become a moving target. One day you’re told male strength is the problem, the next you’re told you’re failing unless you look like a superhero and never show emotion. We sit down with licensed marriage and family therapist Jacob Sedan and Deacon Anthony from St. Anthony the Great Antiochian Orthodox Church to clear the fog and name what healthy masculinity actually requires: responsibility, accountability, integrity, and a li...

  Girls Gone Bible Goes Orthodox: Fr Josiah Trenham Just Explained the Eucharist to 150K Protestants 02.06.2026 26m

  A host admits taking communion at home daily, then asks what the Eucharist really is. The reactions are priceless, but the pastoral wisdom is the point. A priest goes on a massive Protestant podcast and a slice of Orthodox internet melts down. We don’t. We ask the harder question: if we won’t talk to people outside the Orthodox Church, how will anyone ever hear what Orthodoxy actually teaches, believes, and lives? Father Josiah Trenham’s appearance on Girls Gone Bible becomes a real-time cas...

  Nobody Taught Men This: The Masculinity Advice That's Failing Men & Why it Matters More Than Ever 31.05.2026 24m

  Men are tired, and it’s not just work and bills, it’s the mental pressure of trying to decode what “being a man” is supposed to mean now. One voice says masculinity is toxic. Another says you have to be an always-on, hyper-disciplined “uber man.” Jeremy Jeremiah and Mario Andrew of Cloud of Witnesses sit down with special guests Deacon Anthony (https://st-anthony.org/) and Jacob Sadan (LMFT) (https://jacobsadan.com/) and name the real problem: the narratives we inherit about manhood, and the ...

  "Eat Your Bible" Obtain the Power of God: This is Not A Joke (But Should Be) | React to Protestants 27.05.2026 20m

  A pastor rips a page from the Bible and tells a young man to eat it. What does that reveal about authority, emotion, and bad theology? A pastor tells someone to open Proverbs for him, rips out a page, and orders a young man to eat it while the music swells. The clip is hard to watch, but it’s also clarifying: when church turns into a stage and “holy things” become props, people get pressured, confused, and spiritually harmed. Michael, Jeremy Jeremiah, and Mario Andrew slow the moment down an...

  “I Walked In and Started Crying” My First Orthodox Liturgy: Why Ancient Christianity Hit Harder 21.05.2026 20m

  “I walked in and started to cry.” What happens when an Orthodox Divine Liturgy feels more real than anything you’ve known? One visit to an Orthodox Divine Liturgy can expose a hunger you did not know you had. Hannah describes walking into the church, catching the smell of incense, hearing the choir, seeing the priest with the censer, and suddenly fighting tears. It is not just emotion for its own sake. Something feels ancient, steady, and real enough to set off a relentless chain of question...

  Satanism Rebranded | Dark Side of Modern Spirituality: She Left the Occult for Ancient Christianity 18.05.2026 58m

  She chased “healing” through mushrooms, moon rituals, and mediumship then saw Jesus while channeling a client. That one moment changed everything. Money showed up fast, love felt uncertain, and the noise in Kara Mosher’s (https://www.instagram.com/herecomestroublexo) mind kept getting louder. We talk with Kara, author of Here Comes Trouble, about growing up in a family that went from motorhome living to million-dollar restaurant success, and how that same rise coincided with divorce, a...
