What's this Orthodox Mormon?!?? Never heard of.
Hello Father. I came across another video with you in it a few days ago and sent it to my Dad. Our family name is Havens as well. I suppose then it is no coincidence that we are Orthodox as well. My Dad converted in his young life as well, and I have been raised Orthodox due to this. If you see these comments, please reach out. I have so many questions! God Bless!
Yay shout out St. George and fr mykel. I’m a catechumen here and it sure is growing. God bless
Wonderful video! May God Bless Us All ☦️🙏🏻🤍
Does Roots of Orthodoxy have a Spotify channel? Would be great to listen to that while commuting
This priest has a super genuine vibe. Not to say that many of the others don’t here in YouTube land but he just seems like my people.
12:12 As a practicing Latter-day Saint, his critiques are fair. My faith tradition doesn't have the same cultural cachet and historical richness as the Orthodox tradition. We are less than a 200 year old tradition. Yet this priest pays homage to the LDS culture of sacrifice and I'm trying to reciprocate by understanding Orthodox beliefs. A theologian at the stature of a Palamas (Orthodox 1296) or Maimonides (Jewish 1135) or Aquinas (Catholic 1225) is yet to emerge within the Latter-day Saint tradition. Maybe after a thousand years we'll get there.

I was actually looking at your church this morning?
I was the 50th catechumin at his church! Its a very beautiful church and parish and even if you aren't interested in the faith still come and visit in Payson, Utah.
Thank you for these videos. Keep it up
Eastern Orthodoxy has so much in common with Latter-day Saints. They should totally team up on shared goals and projects and make the world a better place. There's honestly no church on earth that has more in common with the Eastern Orthodox Church than the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. True story!!!
Covid made me fear globalism, secularism, tyranny and being conditioned to submit to a society beholden to those with no higher authority beyond it. That’s scary.
I highly value your talks . Much appreciated .
🙌🏼
Had the pleasure to meet Father Justin and see St. Xenia in Payson this past weekend. What a beautiful church and Fr Justin is such a genuine person. I’m only inquiring orthodoxy but I loved being there for the vespers and litergy.
Wonderful church and people
I am jealous of having two kids in monastery … God bless them till the end

I am a grandma and just discovered orthodoxy. I was always attracted but thought it was in russia. No clue it was here in states. The draw is the relationship w Christ. Its a deep relationship not found anywhere else.
