Counterflow with Buck Johnson
Protodeacon Patrick Mitchell returns to the show to discuss his new book, Christ as Truth and Truth as Christ. In this conversation, we explore what it truly means that Christ is Truth—not as a concept, not as a feeling, but as a living Person. Protodeacon Patrick helps us unpack the difference between objective truth and the modern world's obsession with "personal truth," showing how our understanding of Truth shapes everything from our love for others to our view of the world.

Ep. 387 - It's Not a War of Disinformation; It's a War of Discernment, with Mano Elia
Counterflow with Buck Johnson
In this episode, I'm joined again by Mano Elia for a wide-ranging conversation on discernment, community, and the spiritual struggle of our time. We're not in an age where truth is hidden anymore; everything, from truth to lies, is out in the open. The real challenge is no longer finding information, but seeing clearly through it. What we face now isn't a war of disinformation; it's a war of discernment. Mano and I zoom out from the noise of world events to explore the deeper physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions of our modern crisis. We discuss how evil reveals itself openly in today's...

Ep. 386 - Antisemitism and the Church, with GM Davis
Counterflow with Buck Johnson
My guest this week is someone you might remember from last year when we talked about his book, Antichrist: The Fulfillment of Globalization (from Uncut Mountain Press). He's back with us today to dig into the themes from his recent article, Is God an Antisemite? (on Orthodox Ethos). We get into what antisemitism actually means, the roots of Rabbinic Judaism, and how all of this connects to Christ and His Church — and what it all means for us today.

Ep. 381 - Finding Truth Through All the Lies, with Dr Naomi Wolf
Counterflow with Buck Johnson
This is a re-run of an episode that was very powerful... so powerful it got deleted from YouTube. This is my wish to release it again to you and see if we can keep it up this time! Dr. Naomi Wolf joins me to go over the serious information that her team uncovered in the Pfizer documents. At dailyclout.io, she assembled a team of over 3,500 medical experts to comb over the thousands and thousands of pages of Pfizer documents that the FDA tried to have sealed for 75 years. Luckily, a judge did not allow that. Also, Naomi and her team discovered many of the reasons that Pfizer didn't want that...

My guest this week is my friend Nina Morris, an Orthodox Christian and mother who grew up in the Texas foster care system.

info_outlineMy guest today is known as "the Maximum Leader" at the Worthy House. He is Charles Haywood. The Worthy House is an excellent site full of both audio and written book reviews as well as very good original pieces by Charles. He has a piece he calls "The Foundationalist Manifesto", in which he charts out twelve pillars upon which to build our post-liberal society. We discuss some of those as well as what must be done with the Left once the regime collapses and why he's very optimistic about the future. Charles is also an Orthodox Christian, and we discuss why Orthodoxy was appealing to him rather than Protestantism.
