Exactly! I recognized his voice and this speech instantly. Even though he's Coptic and not Orthodox (even though he was an Orthodox monk for some years), I think he has a lot of wisdom and a genuine God-seeking heart. Looking at him, we can get an impression of how the holy desert fathers must have lived all those centuries ago.
@@sportlerboy2989Coptic are Orthodox and believe that Christ was fully divine and fully human and that His divinity did not part from His Humanity for a single moment nor the twinkling of an eye.
@@andrewhanna2636yeah but Copts believe Christ was of 2 natures while Orthodox believe Christ was in 2 natures, enough of a dispute for the Orthodox to want to schism-ate from the Copts and deem them heretics sooner then they did even the Catholics, so to say Copts and Orthodox are the same is wrong.
@dantecervantes6890 Jordan the partner from disrupt. He was the man behind the scenes who hired jak when he only had a GED and gave him a chance. He coached and taught Jak and paid him, he funded disrupt fully, the studio, equipment, editors etc. Then when Jordan saw the channel was doing well enough to replace the income from his other company he sold to work full time on disrupt. That was when jak launched his crowdfunding campaign in an attempt to buy Jordan out of disrupt. Jak tried to say this "other party" was going to totally screw disrupt up and change it negatively. The ironic part is jak wanted to make disrupt a channel about his Christian beliefs but couldn't with his partner and investor involved. So he tried to scam the fans under false pretenses of Jordan coming in and changing/ruining the channel when that was jaks plan all along. Buy him out of his own studio and then make it about God. When he got called out for scamming people he just fled and didn't say a word, leaving Jordan the man who found him, trained him, funded him to rot while he ran from his problems. They did a interview on disrupt where jak blames demons, takes no accountability for his actions and then hides behind God as an excuse for his actions. Never once said he was sorry, or took any of the blame. Just side stepped and blamed a demon (I'm not kidding). Then at the end he used the platform and man he abounded and screwed over royally to advertise this channel. Long story short jak is a scumbag with no morals.
I haven't shared this with anyone outside my confessor and a co-worker during a spiritual talk. But I have been discerning my vocation, and I am scared, but I believe God is calling me to live a hermitage as a monk. Away from the world, and enslaved to His will. I am scared because I have not taken this calling seriously until as of recently. During my research into the practice of the hermitage, early monasticism, and the desert fathers, I was pleased to know that within my own ethnicity and heritage as a Chaldean Catholic, there were people of my own ancestry who felt the same way as I. Please pray for me in my discernment. Please keep my soul in your prayers, my name is Joseph. God Bless you all and may we all learn to end our earthly desires and become one, in complete union with the will of God.
I will pray for you. 🙏🏽… I am from a Protestant background,,now attending an Eastern Orthodox Church to learn more. I’m actually very excited and humbled in my journey that is before me.. the monastic life is fascinating to me. I prayGod confirms the next part of your journey…🙏🏽❤️🔥
@@joeskill4663, allow me to speak: look for the genuine orthodox church and because several call themselves that, search for the one that is just that, a tiny one but the only Genuine Orthodox Church and it is in Greece. A few international protestants and fewer Catholics are numbered in it. Only His true Church has His Grace to absolve us our sins. Seek and He shall show you.
The fact that Simeon heard such a holy voice speak to him and he resisted is proof of how strong Satan's deception can be. He could have easily done as told. But he realized that if God wants you he will not ask He will take you abruptly ❤
Overjoyed to see you making content again. Wasn't expecting the focus on Christianity and harmony, but this is going to be really interesting to learn about. I can't wait hear more stories!
@@arthurzetes he was voicing and producing some of the videos of disrup[tv], but he tried buying his co-worker out and failed miserably, raised some red flags, disappeared for a year to clear the smoke and then reappeared like nothing happened. About a month ago he made a video at disrup[tv] together with his coworker to explain what happened and he ended up blaming it on "demons".. Classic coward behavior.
Wonderful… my RC father loved to tell me stories of St Symeon when I was a little girl… may my prayers, now as an Orthodox Christian, for him, help him to salvation…
Visited the remains of his monastery in modern-day Southern Turkey, I was so touched it still felt as he's blessing was there. I was so filled with this presence of grace, I sang Easter songs in August :) He used to be Georgians' beloved saint for centuries. My ancestors visited his monastery very often. Imagine that time from Georgia (the Black Sea) going there by walking and praying. Thank you for this story. I enjoyed listening to it very much.
We have made it a point of watching your videos every morning as a family. I became a member and hope to continue to watch more of your videos. You have such talent for story telling!
I love and often think of St. Symeon the Stylite and his teachings especially now in these Tumultuous times. What a friend we have if we just look inside for a while every thing flows into place.
I am very surprised at how you worked so hard on the rendering and quality of this video Digitally recreating the events makes it so easy to observe and also translating the voices and voicing the lines in english with the respective accents is so good, I love the content
This story truly has moved me, thank you for creating this video may God bless you for all the days of your life, through the ages of ages, and unto eternity amen.
Ive looked and looked for truth. You've helped me realize that truth is within reach from our Father, God. I really appreciate your voice of clarity in a world of the living dead. I need to find a monastery and rid myself of the lies and pain and find my Shepherd. Thank you so much.
You're right that the truth is in God, but it's not in the Orthodox Church. I say this as a former Orthodox Christian who was sucked in by the marketing spin, but found that the actual Orthodox Church was none of the things that it's billed as. It's just another purely human institution, nothing divine about it. There's nothing for you in a monastery except more misery.
Only in the word of God is there truth my friend. Please search it for the truth. Only through faith in the righteousness of Christ can you be at peace with God. Our works are never and can never be enough. The wages of sin is death, Christ lived a life of perfect obedience to the law and died the death we deserve so we could be justified to God.
i watched all your videos in one sitting i loved them all. god given talent. you can tell how much heart was put into it. i will jon the patron when i have the money :) you awesome man .
This explains why so many people who are braindead or just plain bad people still get a following and money. If enough people dont care there wil always be opportunities for people with bad thoughts. The only way bad wins is if good does nothing.
You shouldn't...this guy is a snake who will screw over the man who gave him everything at a moments notice. Jak is an awful human who hides behind religion
Hey man. I loved your stuff on disrupt. Don’t listen to all the people hating. We all make mistakes. I will be watching this channel readily. Keep up this great content
My father, RC his whole deluded and sad life, was obsessed with this Saint…let the Saint pray for him now and gain him pardon in the Other World before the Final Judgement
I was drawn to this video because the tower shown in this video thumbnail was almost identical to the map towers that are found in the game Elden Ring. The game designers have taken influence from various historical sources.
May God soften your heart this Christmas and open your ears my brother. It’s never too late to accept Jesus as your savior! man God is good! I ask you to speak to the creator for guidance and open your Bible and let the word soak deeply into your heart, creating a fire for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Walking by faith not sight🙏🏼 the Lord healed me from cigarette addiction weed addiction porn addiction for 2 weeks now, without him I would still be lost in my ways. I thank the Lord everyday for healing me and I know he will touch you too brother. May I ask why you have doubt in our Lord? The Holy Spirit is doing miracles today and I could possibly spread his enlightening word if you need it! All praise and glory to our God Jesus Christ. God bless you, may all these demons holding you in chains be stomped by the power of our mighty Lord and you live a new life as a vessel and servant of Christ. In Jesus mighty name Amen
I enjoy these videos but having hearing problems it’s extremely difficult to understand parts due to the volume of the background music and sound effects.
God sent His own son, Jesus into the world to the place of us guilty sinners. Jesus never sinned. He felt no guilt. His conscience was clear before God. Since Adam, there has never been another man like Jesus who did all things pleasing to God. In every way, at all times, without exception, He pleased His Father, whereas we have displeased Him. Yet Jesus did not come just to give us an example. He came to be our substitute-to take the place of us sinners-and bear the punishment for all sin. At the end of His righteous life, He voluntarily died, as if He were the sinner. He took your sin upon himself and died in your place-in the place of all sinners. Forgiveness does not come through the church or through its leaders. Only God can forgive, and he is ready to forgive all who will believe and receive his forgiveness. “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” 1 John 1:9
Not to hate but can the sources of the information that are used in the video be linked in the description of the video? As I cannot be sure if this is a mistake when writing the script or an alternative source of story but... I was curious about this Saint and after I searched about this I found out that in numerous sources it's stated "37" years of his asceticism on the pillar, not "47" as stated at 20:28. (I guess the approximation to 40 years in the description of the video is fine, even though for the average human even a small period of days of asceticism would be a lot) My inner OCD self just couldn't bear that such a mistake could be done so easily. P.S Overall I loved the storytelling.
Pretty wild how jak totally screwed over Jordan, took no accountability, blamed a demon, tried to demonize Jordan for wanting to keep the channel going in the same direction while jak wanted to make it about his Christian BS and then had the nerve to plug his new channel in the end...absolutely wild that this guy feels no remorse and can't take any accountability after totally wrecking disrupt. Jak if you're reading this I hope you fail miserably in every aspect of your life. If there is a hell, you will be there without a doubt.
@@kras230so, let me get this straight, someone who was the face of a channel, put in all the work and wanted to go a different route is 100% at fault? Don't get me wrong, I don't agree with how Jak decided to do what he did, but let's be honest... What the hell did Jordan do after Jak left? Posted 3 mediocre videos that likely had the script written before Jak left. And because of that you want a man to fail in life and hope he goes to hell? Who hurt you? Look at how much Jordan is failing at Disrupt now. That's just being intellectually honest. I see the blame go both ways.
@@moranaokeoke990 disrupt was a famous channel on youtube due to its incredible editing style and commentary, the person who was the head of disrupt is the guy running harmony right now
When I found you I didn’t realize you were Eastern Orthodox, but the more I witness, the more correct it seems. How might one live ortho when the culture in the US is so.. secular
