Born and raised protestant, eventually got into new age beliefs and fell into agnosticism. Was having trouble with addictions. I started looking into the history of Christianity further after I started watching online religious debates. This led me to Orthodox Christianity. The fullness of the faith still amazes me to this day when compared to my protestant church. One night, I did the Jesus Prayer with all my heart until tears were flowing from me. That's when I felt the Holy Spirit convict me, it told me very powerfully what I was doing wrong and what I must do to fix things. It was an experience like nothing I've had before, I've felt guilt and my conscience advising me against things in the past, but this was like a super-conscience that was separate from me. I listened to it and was able to break my addiction into a thousand pieces with the grace of the Lord. I'm in the process of becoming a catechumen. Jesus Christ is my lord and Savior.

I’m blessed to say I’m one of the many Americans who converted into the holy Orthodox Church!

I am a 19 years old Canadian. A year ago I discovered this channel as an evangelical Lutheran, seeing it as a lifeboat for Christian apologetics. Fast forward, I just went to my first Orthodox liturgy this Sunday at my local Serbian parish, and am fully convinced that Orthodoxy is the truest Apostolic faith. God bless

Born roman catholic, left the church after my grandfather was murdered. Went to many many protestant churches. Got into drugs and alcoholism. Cleaned up. Went back to the roman cathoiic church. Studied church history. Went to latin mass. Went to eastern cathoic churches. Got engaged with my girlfriend. Realized I was never confirmed. Visited an orthodoxy church with my wife. And finally got chrismated and became a regular parishioner in Orthodoxy. CRISTOS ANESTI.

This Sunday will be my fourth week of being baptized into the Church on Lazarus Saturday. Glad to be home. ☦️

Not that it matters but after watching your videos you sent me on a journey of researching orthodox Christianity. Since then I have started attending a Russian Orthodox Church and this Sunday I am entering catechism. God bless you bro.

God is with us.

My dog just informed me Kyle just droped a new video

Kyle bobbing his head every 5 seconds made this video 5x better 😭

I went to my first Divine Liturgy service on 5/19/24, thank you Kyle for showing me the true church 🙌🏻

I was protestant...i m baptized from 29.05.2024 as a GREEK ORTHODOX! IT IS WONDERFUL! JEZUS IS WITH US! PROTESTANT AND CATHOLICS ARE OUR BROTHERS TOO! BUT ORTHODOX IS VERY TRADITIONAL AND YOU CAN FEEL THE HOLY SPIRIT! 🙏🏻☦️🙏🏻

Its always so reassuring seeing all the converts, like myself. Especially when family doesn't accept it and you feel cast out.

If you are reading this please pray for me and my family. I dug a deep pit for myself and I need help getting back out, or enduring it if that is God's will.

It's interesting how many people came to Orthodoxy after going through a phase of using psychedelics. I am one of them. There's a good video on the subject titled "From Psychonaut to Orthodox: The Frequent Conversion of New Agers To Traditional Christianity" if you want to learn more.

I'm a recent convert to Orthodoxy (thanks be to God) here in England. I do maintain that the Divine Liturgy should be in the vernacular. I really feel that the D.L. in Greek/Serbian/Russian etc when in the US, UK, New Zealand or Canada is a barrier to conversion. Praise God my Church is still receiving native British converts. Interested if others agree or not.

Kyle, have you heard of the channel called barrel aged faith? He's a recent tradcat convert to orthodoxy (also called kyle). You should interview him for the orthocast. God bless☦️

Rock and Sand opened my eyes

I was born a nondenominational Protestant in the House Church movement. Me and my brothers were each given a Bible and rather broadly told to read it and pray. We prayed at meal times and before bed, but we didn't really have a Christian community beyond our family, nor any real, cohesive Theology. Ironically, my journey to Orthodoxy started with a video game, called Crusader Kings 2! One of the major nations in the game was the Byzantine Empire, which I'd never heard of previously. Being generally interested in history, I started doing some research, and through that, I learned about Orthodoxy. I had researched churches before, but I'd never been convinced that any of them were the true faith. I simply ignored Catholicism, due to their inconsistency over whether or not the Pope is infallible and in what circumstances, (a decision I am still glad I made,) the Baptists seemed like they didn't really have a Theology at all beyond what their pastor decided, Seventh Day Adventists came across as worryingly cultish, etc. The Orthodox Church grasped me as I looked into it. For almost every question, there was a fair answer, and the Church's rooting in history fascinated me. Some time later, I learned that there was a small Greek Orthodox Church in my home town, and I felt a silent urge to go and attend a service, so I did, and I've never looked back. I was baptized in January this year, and although it wasn't an easy journey, (imagine my family's reaction!) I'm glad to say that I've found my way back to my spiritual home!

Thank you for shareing I’m going to go to my first liturgy tomorrow at 16 by myself because my parents are atheist and this helps me feel better 🩷🩷

really touching stories from our brothers here thank you all for sharing

this channel along with jay dyer and jeem (honorable mention ubi petures) helped me on my journey to orthodoxy.

I loved every minute if this. Thank you!

GOOD MORNING YALL

Christ is Risen! Thanks for doing these. I know some of those guys!

It's interesting to see other people's path to Orthodoxy. I thank you Kyle, your videos- esp debunking Catholicism- were very helpful in my journey.

The Trilogy is complete 🙏 Also Kyle is really close to 50k subs! ☦

Glory to God ☦️

Fr. Deacon Ananias' testimony was powerful 🙏🏼☦️

Hey Kyle, I love your channel. I wanted to express my gratitude to you and the work you do for the church in making these videos. A few of your older videos like the Orthodox lifestyle video were very helpful when I was beginning to inquire into the faith, and eventually got me to attend a parish and now I plan on getting baptized next month! Thank you Kyle. Christ is risen!

Thank you for making these videos i learn a lot from you and your content

I appreciate the chant you used at the beginning of the vid. Very tasteful

Thank you Kyle for all that you do 🙏

My Brother Kyle, i would recommend you to change the subtitles software you're using, there were a lot of grotesquely wrong subtitles Lol 😂

Hey Kyle, I am so glad I found your channel. I've been protestant my whole life. I've been listening to Pentecostal sermons for a long time. I even joined an online group, but it was confusing with all these denominations. I didn't know where I leaned in, and it kind of made me question, "Why are there so many branches?" Following the attack of Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel, thats where I aas first introduced to him. Because of that, it got me interested in Eastern Orthodox. I found your channel and its really helping me with my journey. Never in a long time have I felt the urge to get closer to God.

IC XC NIKA ☦️

kyle i thank with all my heart thank you for converting me to orthodoxy, youre a lifesaver, christ bless!

nice video

Thank you for the captions, Kyle. I’m hard of hearing and don’t want to raise my volume and become a disturbance to those around me. Thanks for this accessibility. May God, the Holy Virgin Theotokos, saints and angels of the Lord watch over you

Currently reading 📖 Rock and Sand after watching some of your videos. Got it yesterday and I’m already on chapter 2. Up to now, as a Protestant all my life, I have to say, I only knew Martin Luther by name and his 95 thesis, ( did not bother to read them all my whole life lol) but now I’m finding out a lot of interesting things about the man himself.

love it!

Former Lutheran former Anglican for a Pentecostal former Baptist now orthodox ☦️🇦🇱🇷🇸

The beard is getting better 🔥

Have you heard Klaus Kenneth's conversion story? Absolutely fascinating!

So good news I found my nearest orthodox church And I cannot wait

Father Deacon's story is powerful. It had me in tears.

Liturghie is a 4-5 h thing in Romania 🙏🏻🕊☦️😊

As a protestant myself, respect🫡

I'm attending a Catholic Seminary and have met multiple Orthodox students, as there aren't many classical education opportunities in North America. It is, though, fun to be a student of Trent Horn. It certainly is fun to show the Eastern perspective of Aristotelian metaphysics. Though the Orthodox Church does have many problems in America, Jurisdiction hopping is indeed a problem. There are liberal parishes that are absolutely insane, and then you have the Orthodox Ethos crowd, which teaches against the councils of the Church - "Rebaptism" of converts. Listen to your Bishop kids, and if you don't, Lord, have mercy on your soul.

Kyle, how do you feel about the canonization of Carlo Acutis by the catholic church? Just want to know your opinion on it

It is important to emphasize that the Serbian Orthodox Church is primarily a folk church and that it has accepted many folk holidays and customs from the pre-Christian era. This is not a bad thing, but on the contrary, there has been a wonderful symbiosis of the people and the church that has lasted for almost two thousand years.

I was just cutting grass with scissors in my garden but then a Stone came running to me and said that Kyle dropped a new Video

🙏☦

we need a campaign to draw those ones back who stayed home after the pandemic

Christos Anesti Bro ! I would like to talk about the founder of 'First Reich' , sponsor-founder of popism and 'filioque' and the wanna be eraser of 1000 years of Roman-Greek , and not Byzantine , Empire , history , and I think that is something that popists and protestants just can't stand , because history is with orthodoxy ... ☦☦☦ In the 8th century the king of the Franks Charlemagne (Charlemagne, 768-814) with the force of arms unites almost all the peoples of Western Europe and aspires to raise a new empire, claiming the name and the glory of the Roman Empire of the East. For this purpose, he methodically organizes the East-West conflict with a strategy that includes the following two strands: 1) Rejection of Orthodoxy and creation of a different Christianity, which will emphasize the cultural specificity of the new empire. This Frankish Christianity, designed by Charlemagne's advisers, is founded on the theological formulations of St. Augustine and expressed in new forms and types of church practice: Baptism by sprinkling, compulsory celibacy of the clergy, deprivation of the laity from the communion of the Chalice, *shaving of the clergy* etc. In the context of anti-orthodox tactics, the Frankish bishops, in 794 (Synod of Frankfurt), condemn the decisions of the Seventh Ecumenical Synod (787) on the veneration of icons and in 809 (Synod of Aachen), add to the sacred Creed the Filioque. These two events constitute the first stage of the schism between the Frankish conquerors and the orthodox Romans. 2) Anti-Hellenic policy, since Hellenism was the historical flesh of Orthodoxy and a constituent element of the Roman Empire. The culturally disadvantaged Franks, therefore, begin to slander the Greek culture as a delusional culture and call the Ellines(Έλληνες) Greeks, giving this ancient name a derisive meaning (Greek = heretic, impostor). oodegr-com.translate.goog/oode/papismos/istoriko_dogmatika/xtes_simera.htm?_x_tr_sl=el&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=el&_x_tr_pto=wapp

Interesting!

Hi Kyle! Do you have a video explaining why are you YEC? Really interesting to see what's the reason for it

Kyle will you do a video refuting MethodMinistries?

Forgive my skill issue…but what are those books behind you with the black and white binding. I see them on a bunch of people’s bookshelves on videos like this

Kyle, I have a question on behalf of my grandson. Is saint cannonization infallible in the Eastern Orthodox Church, or can the cannonization be fallible? Asking because of the two Saints Joesphat and Barlaam. They were cannonized as saints but many modern historians say that they didn't exist and their story was derrived from buddha.

Hey Kyle! I am a non denominational Christian and I’ve Been watching your videos for awhile now and I’m now convinced that Protestantism makes no sense,the only two decisions I’ve come down to are Catholicism and orthodoxy, I just don’t have any orthodox friends to guide me thru orthodoxy so it’s kinda hard to convince my parents to take me to a Orthodox Church. I’ve already been to a Catholic Church with my friend . Any sort of help or pointers you can give me? Thank you for showing me the beauty of orthodoxy!❤️

Hey Kyle, can you make a video on Planet Curious? They are a super atheist channel who yap a lot about religion being bad and etc.

Kyle, you may want to remove the word "feces" from the subtitles script at 35:16.

St Sebastian Dabovic was an American-born saint, unlike some of those you mentioned.. Seraphim Rose will be a second American-born saint God willing (he is already canonized by a Georgian Orthodox church so i dont know..) ☦️🙏

I’m a catechumen in the Eastern Orthodox Church now, former Roman Catholic

can you explain roman catholic art vs eastern orthodox art?

As a social institution What problems are orthodox solving for Americans who are converting?

will you ever make a video about buddhism

When you give the World to a man, he realises he is nothing without God. America was materialistically rich, but soulless

Hey Kyle someone called DC Dawah responded to your video

I've heard from many people including orthodox that I should only pray to the father in the name of Jesus and by the power of holy spirit. But I always pray to the trinity at once, not separate. I just say in the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit. At the beginning and at the end I say all glory and worship be to god the father,god the son and god the holy spirit and then I prostrate. What you think of this?❤

Kyle: Yeah

Where can I learn about this "Meowthasite" Catholicism? Interesting to hear Father say this means "one feces". 35:09

Love the scary music when he says "we moved to California when I was four"

Im late but Glory to God

I think people are converting to orthodoxy, and to extension Catholicism (America is pretty western) because people are sick of some of the not reverent worship and bands in churches. I hope Catholicism changes, as o think it will for the better. There has been wicked popes, and good popes, and church in crisis, but the Protestant idea of just leaving when it gets bad isn’t the best

34:52 It's just as Secular for Churches to Separate itself from "Secular things" as Governments are to Separate themselves from Religion. Why else could Christ tell Pilate his Kingdom was Not of this World, that it was Spiritual. Catholic church Deludes itself trying to Dilute itself.

Do a vid on orthodox people in the UK I can’t find no channels

Beard 😎👍

I noticed that they were all former protestants, where are the former catholics and athiests? Even at my church the vast majority are former protestants.

HEY KYLE I GOT A VID IMPROVEMENT FOR YOU THAT MAY HELP YOU GROW :) I watch Alex Hormozi and he recently made a great video called "How i got 7.8 million followers in [i forgot how many months it was] - this video has helped me a my brother immensely in business, and I'm sure it will also be invaluable to you growing A LOT in the future. Thanks for all your content brother :)

are they?

I’m watching this on the toilet

I much prefer America being Orthodox instead of Evangelical. I grew up Evangelical, and I love and respect them, but their theology is terrible and their “””liturgy””” is awful. I’m a diehard Protestant, so I’d prefer all of the Evangelicals become mainline Protestant (in tandem with the RZ’s Reconquista movement), but I see why they go Catholic or Orthodox, and I pray they can stay Catholic or Orthodox. God bless.

Because it has cool trad edits

I would if there were a church in my vicinity.

algo push

Yk what, ive got a goal, ima memorize the Gospel of John

newsweek ' today 70 percent of Americans do not believe Jesus is god while islam second most followed religion in 31 u s states ' keep watching

Woah woah woah…. Logos and logi, archetypal structures. Why am I just hearing about this.

2.5k views in 7 hours... bro fell off

KYLE please debunk @SYFETALKS video

Could you please refute Muslims on tiktok or more ex-Christian videos? 🙏

☠️☠️

TikTok.

Americans are becoming less religious. The fastest growing religion is "no religion in particular". The religious people who are left then choose to join a more fundamentalist form of their religion, because that's the only community that is growing.

There are no churches to visit

I deny Jesus
