Meet my alter ego, Orthodox Austin.
In this video, he'll argue for the Orthodox Church from the Scripture, the Church Fathers, and spiritual experience in what is, to date, my most extensive steel-manning of the Orthodox position.
This video was super interesting for me to make as I tried to make an argument that was not simply compelling, but faithful to what seems to be the mind and approach of the Orthodox Church. It required adopting a much different mindset than my previous Catholic steel man. I'm sure it's not perfect, but it sure was fun.
Oh, and as Orthodox Austin says, be sure to support Austin on Patreon.
