I used to listen to Jordan Peterson, but I stopped when I found he was in a dangerous place spiritually. It sounds just enough like Christianity and what we might want it to be, but it hasn't clicked for him yet. Until he professes belief in the Gospel, he may be more dangerous than helpful to listen to.

Jordan Peterson uses Carl Jung symbolism as the lens through which he sees religion (even Christianity). Basically, the events in the Bible don't have to be literally true, because the real truth is hidden within the story (or behind it, rather). It's all about the "real truth" the metaphorical story stands for. Of course, this is a problem because the Bible treats most of its content like it happened historically (if you rule out Revelation).

As a young Catholic convert, this is 100% true, and I see it all the time mostly online. This is something that many people my age who "convert" to Catholicism and especially Orthodoxy suffer with. They convert for all the wrong reasons because these religions are based, yet they never pray, never go to Church, and never interact with anyone else for the betterment of the Kingdom. and usually they'll grow out of their fad after 3 months once they see a "based" Muslim and then start the whole process again with Islam. All while never entering a Church.

It's great that you're in the Word. The time that you read in matters less than you reading the Bible. Frequency matters though. Even if it were just a chapter or two every day and really studying and meditating on the text (it turns out that you can finish in 3 years if you read one chapter a day). That is most important. You can read the Bible without *reading* the Bible. Remember, this is God's special revelation and it shouldn't be taken lightly, like as if you are reading a textbook or a some sort of novel, and we need to be reading carefully amd with intention of getting to know who God is through His Words. Some of the Bible in a year plans have you reading 4-5 chapters a day, and I don't think that you can truly meditate on 5 chapters of Scripture in an hour or two.

I think the minimum goal is to read it regularly. Reading it in a year might be good progress but could be detrimental to absorbing what the Bible teaches. Remember, a person won't get everything the first time around. Something I remember when I think about progressing through the Bible is that I'm going to read it again right after I finish it, so I might as well be content where I am. I will read these verses a few years from now and have read them some years ago. I might find something new or remember something old. Better the Bible be a tool for spiritual growth than believe the number of chapters read equates to spiritual growth.

Also pray, open your heart to God, love God above all else.

last Friday I went to a church for the first time in months. I've never felt better after this

I wish more Christians would actually attend on Sundays, at least.

I think it also reflects a larger issue --- that _everything_ is an aesthetic and trend. Perhaps due to the desperation of wanting to be in a group. Readers have the same problem. Academics, too. People care more about _looking like_ they participate in something, than actually participating in it.

"Christian as an aesthetic" that's a term I use a lot. I was once interested in dating this girl whom I worked with, however, though she acted nice and claimed to be a Christian and went to a bible study, she was really quite shallow, and often used her faith as a way to belittle everyone else. One of my other co-workers advised against me dating her, and even described her as a "Christian For The Aesthetic" and I'm glad that I had those wise voices in my life to lead me along the right path. Since then, I've become stronger in my faith, I've learned to look out for people like this. I've also become closer friends with a girl at my church who actually exemplifies the qualities of a Godly woman. As for the men claiming to be Orthodox or Catholic just because its "trad and based" I'd say that that's just the Christian equivalent of the redpilled movement really, just like you said. They're just jumping on the hype train because it's different, despite not knowing what the Bible actually says. It's sorta like those teenage communists who only believe in communism because they heard some propaganda, and not because they've read the works of Marx. These kids are prone to changing their political beliefs the second they become exposed to another ideology. I see these Christian LARPers in the same light. And for the 6th example, I used to be one of those people. I didn't know how to pray, and I didn't understand why I needed to. I used it as a "break glass in case of emergency" type of thing. But in the past 2 years I realized that I couldn't just say these things, but not have a personal relationship with God. Before bed, I like praying, reading my bible, and reading a good theological book. And often I'll pray in order to start my morning off right. I'm glad you pointed this out. I think we need to point out these hypocrisies to become stronger as the Body of God.

Meanwhile people who make less mainstream styles of Christian music like rock or metal are often the strongest Christians (Take, for example, John Cooper of Skillet) They're less willing to appease people or compromise just to appeal to the masses. And their songs more often touch on controversial social issues and even hypocrisy within the church that mainstream Christian artists would never write about.

For instance, we see God as clearly above us - His Fatherhood is much greater than your dad's fatherhood, if you get what I'm saying. I think there should be some formality there.

I became Orthodox because I needed the depth it offered me in comparison to my Baptist upbringing. "Jesus is my boyfriend" music and the Bible sans Deuterocanonical simply wasn't enough for me to live the practical Christian life I needed to. Some people live as saints upon crumbs, but I'm far worse than those people and needed the whole loaf, as it were. (while on the topic of biblical canon, I'm EO not OO, and I'm curious to read an English translation of the Orthodox Tewahedo biblical canon, which is the largest of all traditional biblical canons. It's even split into broad and narrow versions of itself, and according to wikipedia is not known to exist as one published compilation. Unfortunately because of the book of enoch whenever I try to look into it I mostly get piles of western schizo new age stuff instead of ethiopian orthodox exegesis lol).

I don't consider myself Orthodox. I look into it and see the good things they do. I am not Orthodox on the basis I haven't even become a catechumen. I want to be Orthodox, but I know that I am not yet.

Some priests have a year-long catechism, and the most hardcore patristic era style catechesis lasts three years! So, I can definitely say the Orthodox do their best to lead inquirers toward becoming genuine Christians. I'm sure you've seen Orthodox priests admonish LARPers online as well, "come and see" being the most straightforward adage.

Can’t call yourself orthodox without the priest knowing your name

Being religious for hedonistic purposes in literally any faith is disingenuous. I couldn't imagine being Buddhist and saying this kind of nonsense. Commitment > Happiness.

Larping in some cases could lead to be abused for actually evil groups to actively help them into doing sin too. A year ago a small church opened near my friends house he told me they we're just larpers as they abide to most of those features you exposed in the video, they never tought something could be wrong in it. Until some day the church was completely surrounded by the Army and the national guard. It turns out that just like that synagoge in NYC, below the church there was fully ventilated tunnel that crossed from México to the USA, and it was used by cartels to smuggle drugs and people between countries, all that while the belivers that went there never suspected anything because they never went further away than just larping.

I am Christian and have been my entire life, but recently haven’t been going to Church recently this video has really made me realize I need to start going again. Very informative, thank you.

Agree whole heartedly here. I'm glad young men are finding the church, but we need depth of PRACTICE of the faith.

Just wanna say your content is a breath of fresh air. The theological debating without love point is something I've encountered often. It often comes across that people are more concerned with having the exact right doctrine than they are about loving God. (I'm painting with a broad brush here.) It seems that theological triage is completely out the window and every issue is do or die. I don't agree with my church on 100% of doctrine, but what keeps me there is the community. It's helped me learn what issues are salvation issues, fellowship issues, and very minor theological disagreements. Above all that, it's helped me learn how to theologically disagree with my brothers and sisters in Christ in a loving manner. Keep up the good work man. God bless.

Because I feel like it, I'm going to go over the points and see if I'm a cringe larper 1. Theological debating without the Bible. I don't really debate much, but I do occasionally ask other Christians on Discord about verses that sound strange. I am also trying my best to read at least a few chapters of the Bible per day. 2. "Trad" Christianity without church. I am personally very lucky to have a church less than a mile from where I live, which has not been completely ruined by the theological liberalism of my country's state church denomination. If anything I ought to be more grateful to God that the specific church has for the most part done its job. And yes I go to church as frequently as I can. 3. While I do of course attend a Lutheran church as a Lutheran, that is more because me identifying as a Lutheran comes from attending said church, plus there are things I agree with Presbyterians on instead of Lutherans (such as evolution), so I guess I am a little guilty in that regard. 4. I've from time to time thought about whether I should belong in another denomination, but despite that I've always identified as Protestant (and Lutheran once I learned the differences between the Protestant denominations), for as long as I was a Christian. 5. Okay yeah I am guilty of this, in the sense that I do a bad job of being a loving person. 6. Half guilty there. I do pray, but not as much as I could, which means I probably don't pray as much as I should. 7. I do go to church, as mentioned in points 2 and 3, but besides that, college, job between college semesters and the band I'm in, a lot of everything I do is internet related, so I'll say I'm half guilty here. So 2 of 7 larping points. I'll have to work on those flaws.

You should put your church attendance in the highest priority possible. Even on vacations try to look up online if there's a local church or anything. We get tourists on my church all the time, sometimes even on our weekday meetings. Christianity is community just as much as it is personal. It's extremely important. "And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching." - Heb 10:24-25 The Sacred Author put it right there along with love and just preceding that it talks about perseverance of the faith. Worship God in community and lift each other up. This way YOU grow, your brothers and sisters grow, and Heaven descends on Earth just a little bit more. As God willed it. May God give you the graces to grow in holiness. Pax tecum.

Actually it is not just from the keyboard, I have come across too many Street preachers …keen to tell people about Christianity…yet when I asked them what Church do they direct people? too sadly many don’t think about this, (especially out of town street preachers)…keen to make a noise…not that keen to disciple people longer than 5mins it seems. 😢

If you’re claiming to be a Christian, you need to be going to a church. Doesn’t mean you agree with all they say if they sometimes spout crap (and they often do), but you still need to go. Where else can you get the sacraments? Also, you’ll probably find fellow Christian’s who you can interact with.

Bro that outro music slapped, great video as always

Although different, I feel there's another type of LARPing that has been a thing in the United States, mainly in the rural south and mid-west, for a long time and that's the cultural Christians. People who go to church every Sunday, or most Sundays, and will tell you they are a Christian, but don't actually know God. They go to church because it's what you do in their culture, and to them that's all being a Christian is. I'm from Appalachia, and that is definitely a thing here. People will tell you they're a Christian because they go to church, believe God exists, and vote Republican, but don't actually know Jesus.

personally i've found that the best thing for me was seeing the worst side of religion first growing up, having an bad reaction and becoming one of those edgy r/atheism types in highschool, and circling around out of that and finding my place in a better sort of middle ground, as it left me with no illusions of my faith being misguided nor just for show. larping is done with people who need direction for their faith, which is abused both by bad faith actors and people who focus too much on "just having faith" without worry about what faith actually means. joining my small town's humble old church filled mostly with older people has been the best for me as its been slow and sure to rebranding my faith to be closer to what christ actually intended and not some cherry picked bible verse used to justify crappy actions.

'salvation is by faith alone', proceeds to promote a works-based salvation

Really appreciate this video. Lots of truth in these words and opportunities for self-reflection.

I'd like to add one more to your list. "Get off the freakin secondary issue debate treadmill!" Here's what I'm talking about and it plays into what I may be doing on my own channel. I was raised as a nominal Catholic and I eventually became a firm believer in Jesus. Yes, I am saved by what Jesus did for me on the Cross. It's a gift and not something I earned. That's in '91. I soon walked into the wonderful world of Pentecostalism and quickly learned that I needed to get a firm foundation in what I believed. By Zoomer's standard, I'm a "0" when it comes to being a conservative. Yet, I do hold to key traditional views of Christianity. Unlike some people in my circle, I've no problem learning theology and learned to treat it, with a grain of salt. Do you know when I discovered "Calvinism" and the infamous TULIP? 2024. It just never came up on my radar. Now, I'm seeing it all over the place. If you're fimly rooted in the love of Christ Jesus and have a history of prayer, spending time in Scripture and a good local church then it's okay to look at such debate. However, I have to say the opposite for new or young Christians. Stay away from such debates for it will do more harm than good. The situation is made worse with some of these YT theologians who forget that their not just talking to mature believers. It's also reaching new Christians who are not equipped to deal with such issues.

I am very glad that you made this video, you raised some very good points. These are things that often play on my mind, particularly sections 4, 5 and 6, when considering how I and fellow Gen Z Christians are putting faith into action. What you described pretty much matches with what I term as avoiding Check-Box Catholicism. I would say that there are plentiful traditions of personal devotions available to help a person develop their personal prayer life as well as collective liturgical participation. It's just that, in many parishes, in many Catholic communities, there is often not hard enough emphasis placed upon explaining the need for regular personal and collective participation and actually doing this with deep conviction and close understanding of the purpose and meanings of ritualised aspects, and personal emotional aspects. I personally very much fear the times I feel like I am not able or motivated enough to learn and ponder in depth enough, then I worry that I am too trapped in my head to truly live my faith, to speak about it and show it effectively in my behaviour. It can turn into a vicious circle where I feel stagnant. Prayer, Confession, and the Eucharist is what draw me out of it.

I’m an agnostic only because I can’t decide which denomination I belong in, due to ADHD. Most denominations have good reasons for joining, and sound theologies. The only thing I am certain of is that those low-church, Baptist/Non-denominational and Evangelical churches are not for me.

#3 hit home 😂 I’ve spent the last 6 years not doing that and it’s been very difficult on friends that I stopped doing that. And I’m 40 😂 trying to tell them I need to be where I’m in agreement with their theology has been very difficult for all.

These are really great points. I will admit that I started my conversion to Catholicism by going to Traditional Latin Masses for the novelty (while also reading Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy lol), but here I am almost a year later and seriously considering the priesthood. The trad aesthetic is a really valuable tool for evangelization, and that is a hill I will die on, however disciplines and traditions are supposed to serve the purpose of reconverting your heart daily. I pray a rosary daily, and even though I get distracted sometimes, I am more likely to have a more organic conversation thereafter with God on the days that I do than on the days that I don't. The only caveat I would add is in the first point. I agree with studying the Scriptures to inform our theology, but sometimes debates just happen even if we don't plan for them, like one I had with a Jehova's Witness yesterday. I knew most of the Scriptural arguments for why Jesus is God, but when I'm at a loss in the moment, as a Catholic, I'm able to dogmatically defer to the authority of *the* Church's teaching authority if my own apologetics are insufficient. Of course, if you're a Protestant, we'll have to agree-to-disagree on that point. But basically, the Church says he is God, and that works for me if I'm not clever enough at the moment. That's literally what we're supposed to do as Catholics, anyway. If we want to know about Jesus, the Apostles and their immediate successors are a great place to start, and even if Protestants don't assent to the Church fathers in an ecclesial sense, pretty much all Christians agree that the Apostles and their immediate successors are a good place to start if you want to know about Jesus, and sometimes, depending on the specific theological topic, their writings and the creeds are clearer and easier to understand than the Scriptures themselves. That of course is no substitute for the Scriptures, but we need help interpreting them, and when I'm challenged on the spot, *the* Church's dogmas are what I will use if I'm not clever enough with Scripture at the moment. As for the part about love, I was really moved by Catholic Social Teachings during my formation, and I feel like I'm hammering the nails into Christ's hands everytime I don't help a homeless person. At the same time, I can't resist the temptation to make snarky comments in online debates. I do this not so much out of a lack of charity as much as wanting to impress people with wittiness and sophistry lol. That's still a problem, but it's not so much from a lack of charity.

Thanks I needed this video to help clear up everything

you mention that you have presbetyrian heritage like thats relevant. My parents are both athiests 3 of my uncles are "Satanists" and the only christian in my familiy other than me is my grandmother. Yet i still found my way to Christ and i continue to pray for my them and love them. Heritage has nothing to do with it. LOVE your content BTW keep fighting the good fight bro🤝

Thanks for sharing what you think. I'm a Christian zoomer myself, but many terms you used in the video is unfamiliar to me. I want to study my faith deeper, but I'm still very new to all of this. One of the unfamiliar term I heard you use a lot is "high church". What is that exactly?

As an Eastern Orthodox, I've seen a large influx of young (teens to 20 year olds) converting to our faith. I think it is amazing. I also see that these converts (some, not all) are very excited about joining our faith, and often like to talk about it on discord or social media. They see people like Kyle, Jay Dyer and David Erhan (amazing youtubers for Orthodoxy) and try to mimic them and "debate" with other people. I think the idea of them trying to show their faith is good, but some do this when they have been baptized last week. For this reason, I think the Orthodox take the hit for some of this, but it isn't anything we can really do except do what Zoomer has said in this video, leave that stuff to the older people who are more versed in this sort of thing. Excellent video Zoomer, keep them coming. I'd love to see a video explaining why you aren't Orthodox yet (lol) since you do seem to show interest in traditional Protestantism. Much love, God bless.

At least the people you're talking about are actual members of the Church and are receiving authentic spiritual guidance. It's the Onlineonlydox who are out there doing their best to make the Faith look bad. They declare themselves "Orthodox" when they've never even set foot in an Orthodox church! And their takes are always the wo rst, just based on memes and things they saw on X or Red dit. The genuine inquirer acts respectful. The Onlineonlydox acts the fool. I pray that they all actually meet with priests and are humbled, and filled with the desire to truly know Christ and live lives that glorify Him.

zoomer, I do not know if you read comments, but if you do I would really appreciate it if you made a video about how your dad became religious. I also come from a non-Christian family, and I would like to bring my family to the faith, but I do not know of anyway I could do that.

pro tip for people considering catholiscisn or orthodoxy (as am i) DO NOT CALL YOURSELF ORTHODOX/CATHOLIC UNTIL YOU ARE BAPTISED AND CHRISMATED (also you have a point aboht most larpers being catholics or othodox we have to fix that)

14:08 - Has anyone been through this? Guys, I realized that I fit into this LARPER category, "Doctrine without Love". Since I converted (1 year ago) I have been delving deeper into the sacred scriptures, but instead of preaching the gospel, share my faith to others, I often just focus on apologetics and debate them, trying to convince them by arguments alone. But the problem is worse than that, in fact the reason for trying to convince people this way is because I don't consider God as a person, but rather as an idea to think about (and an ideia to inspire me to do good stuff, just like a liberal using christianity to do social justice, and as he said in the video, I do not treat Jesus as a person to know). I don't usually pray, but is because I don't think God would answer me, because I treat him as an idea. See it's like a dead end since I don't develop personal relationships because I don't pray and I don't pray because "God is not a person". I read the Bible, watch videos, read theology articles, looking for a rational argument to convince myself that God is indeed personal and not just an idea, but it doesn't seem to improve the situation, it's just as if I'm getting even more "intellectual" in the "God philosophy". I know that God is personal because the Bible says he is a person and I believe in the Bible rationally, but I don't act as if I actually believe it. It's as if I have two minds, because I believe 100% in the Bible but my "other mind" realizes that in fact I rationally believe in the Bible as if it were a science or a philosophy, purely intellectual. How to get out of this, has anyone been through this? Of course I will talk to my local pastor about this, but I just wanted to share and see if anyone has ever found themselves lost in this situation. Note: I converted from another religion that treats God in this exact same way, as an impersonal consciousness, maybe I'm just taking some time to recognize the true God and let go of old beliefs. Still, I'm intrigued by this, I'm grateful that this video pointed out this situation, because I didn't realize on my own that I was thinking and acting this way

Thanks for the video brother, almost everything that you listed out were things that I struggled with as a young and angry teen haha. The Lord is good and humbling

Ok, on the other hand, larping can turn into the real deal. Certainly larping Satanists often turn into the real thing, and I think it can happen for Christians too. Just encourage them to take one step at a time to go from "based" to "based on the word of God", and overlook their cringe moments.

When it comes to denominations, I still haven’t decide but when people ask I say “I’m considering southern Baptist and Presbyterian.” This is because I go to church twice a week (south Baptist church on Thursday nights and Presbyterian on Sundays). The PCA church I go to would probably be accused of a bit of “presbapterianism” by redeemed zoomer, but it’s not super Baptist compared to others I’ve seen. The SBC church I go to is a college ministry with people my age. While it’s run by SBC, they don’t really advertise that. I’m still not sure whether to believe in Baptist theology or Reformed theology, so I haven’t become a member of either despite attending both every week. Is that considered larping like number 4? I love both of my church communities, I don’t doubt that either are true Churches or anything like that, I’m just not sure which one I should belong to. I’m guilty of a bit of angrily arguing online and I should be more active at home with reading my Bible and praying consistently. I pray every day but not like I should if that makes sense, I read the Bible probably a couple times a week in some way but I seriously need to improve on consistency in that regard.

You are just visiting different churches precisely to form an opinion about which one suits you best. I only ask that, in parallel, you study the Bible (starting with the NT and then going to the OT, or alternating a chapter from the NT and OT) and make your decision based on what you found most Biblical. Another recommendation is that you not only attend worship, but participate in Bible study or catechumen classes because it is there that you will have more direct contact with the theological particularities of that denomination and will have the opportunity to ask questions. It also helps a lot to read the confessions of faith of the two churches.

As someone who wants to attend an Orthodox church (the reason I say that instead of calling myself an "orthodox christian" is because I'm not baptized yet), I agree with what you say about "people who identify as Orthodox yet haven't even attended a Liturgy." I see a lot of "Orthodox trad" people on the Internet but whenever I ask them if they've attended a Liturgy, they just say they're like twelve and they can't go to a church? I tell people about my want to attend a Liturgy, and overall just reading the Bible and I can't wait to be able to attend a Liturgy, and I'm glad I haven't fallen into the "using icons as profile pictures, having theological debates with no knowledge" stereotype for 'Orthodox' people on the internet.

I 100% agree. Also this whole changing denomminations does seem to me like an outflow of Zoomers being afraid of commitments. This fear probably prevents many from seeking out a church and sticking with it.

Also, one strong appeal to Orthodox is its strong consistency. In a modern world with protestant churches always changing, some promoting gay marriage and other woke or liberalism agendas, its nice to be apart of something that is changeless and has consistently practiced the faith going on for nearly 2,000 years.

I can't recommend enough for people to check out the 1517 podcast network they have primarily shows like 40 minutes in the Old testament and 30 minutes in the New testament and they read the scriptures they talk about it they break it down. Yes they are a Lutheran podcast network and it does lean that way in some of their breaking down but they don't say you have to be Lutheran and they try to give a general basis for understanding scripture it helped a lot when I was trying to get into reading and I just found it hard and listening to the audio Bible didn't stick or retain with me they have other shows that I have yet to check out fully but from the few episodes that I've listened to they are pretty good. This is coming from a Pentecostal Christian as well giving my opinion

I was born a Protestant but my family and I converted to Catholicism because my dad was already Catholic and my mom wanted to be one.

I even go so far as "teaching" people about the nature of God even though I know so little about him 😓 Of course I haven't attended a church service in 1/2 year. I'm really just trying to craft myself an identity. Don't get me wrong, I do believe in God and I pray, too, but neither do I trust Him with my life nor do I take much time to learn about Him. I'm a hypocrite and I basically use God to impress others 😞 It has to do with my mental health issues, but I know that's not an excuse. Someone pray for me, please 😞

Rich! Love this video love the fact on how you point out the strawman about the Catholic Church! Love your honesty Brother!

There are definately a lot of young men who have made being trad their fad. You can spot them a mile away too, so many of them have really warped and backwards views of Christianity and what tradition actually means. It bothers me, for two reasons both ultimately rooted in concern for peoples relationship with God, but born form two different lenses. The first lens being political, Fascism and other Socialist ideologies (Excl;uding Communism, at least until it reaches it's collapse stage and needs some means of retaining legitimacy) love wrapping themselves in a thin vinear of tradition, but are broadly movements which seek to appropriate the aesthetic of cultural tradition to promote authoritarian control. I.E. they have no interests in the traditions, or ideals of a culture beyond how they can be used as a means to shape that culture to their own ends. This could result in a form of "Far Right" coopting of Christian tradition, in the same vain as what the Progressives have been attempting to do with Progressive Christianity. Heresy at best, replacing God with the idea of god as a symbol of the state at worst, either way vapid mysticism will replace deep religiosity. The other is cultural that I lived thru the 2014-2018 period where many Millinials moved Rightward, as did many Zoomers. But around 2019, there was a shift back Leftwards. This is because many where rebelling against their predominantly Left Wing parents, but ultimately "grew out of it" they never really engaged with the arguments to understand. They where again only wrapping themselves in the trappings of conservatism to upset Leftists. However, many are now staunch leftists writing off all Conservative though as little more than the childish rebellion they experienced. The though of that occurring with Christianity is deeply troubling on a level that it occurring in the field of politics could never even come close to.
