Ep. 338 - Youth of the Apocalypse, with Justin Marler
Counterflow with Buck Johnson
Justin Marler is back on the show, and we are discussing the re-release and updated version of his cult-classic book, Youth of the Apocalypse and the Last True Rebellion. Justin went from a distraught, suicidal punk rock musician in the Bay Area to being an Orthodox Christian monk. While he was living as a monk, he created the Death to the World zine which has brought a huge amount of people to the Orthodox Church. He also penned his classic book, Youth of the Apocalypse then, and many years later now, it is VERY hard to find. That was until this new updated version that is now available. We...

Ep. 335 - Protestantism, Orthodoxy, and the Church, with Fr. John Peck
Counterflow with Buck Johnson
This is a very special episode. My producer, Chris Williams, is a very humble and knowledgeable Protestant Christian. He's obviously been listening to every one of my episodes since he's producing them, and he is very interested in the Orthodox view of the world and also the differences between Orthodoxy and all the other Christianities. He approached me with the idea of getting an Orthodox priest to come on and chat with him about the questions he has regarding Orthodox Christianity.

Ep. 334 - Theosis, Essence/Energies, and the Saints, with David Erhan
Counterflow with Buck Johnson
David Erhan joins us this week to discuss some of the most important theological topics in Christianity. We are on this earth for theosis. David gets into what that is, the scriptural proof regarding theosis, and why other Christianities outside of Orthodoxy don't always emphasize it. We discuss the ever-so-important essence/energies distinction, and we relate much of these things to the Orthodox Saints. Many outside of Orthodoxy are troubled when they hear of "praying to Saints". Why do we do that, and what does it mean? For all of David's work, go here: To support David, go here:...

Counterflow with Buck Johnson
In late August of 2024, Conrad Franz (of the World War Now podcast) and I were part of a small group of Orthodox Christian pilgrims who traveled to Mount Athos with Father Peter Heers. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life, and in this episode, we detail our trip along with a slideshow of pictures and videos. Mt.

He found beauty in a hidden treasure that he didn’t fully...
