We'reeee back! 🙂 I do have a lot of videos plan for proximate future. Hope you stay, and thank you for staying here despite the delay!
Though I'm Oriental Orthodox, I find this advice of St. Ephrem of Katounakia very inspiring!
Pick PS5. It's a better system and Microsoft censors game chat to the point of ruining simple conversations. Literally saying ok is blocked out in their games.
Ps4 is better than xboxone
Everything that ever was, is, and ever could and shall be all exist in a single instant of time.
I still use the Study/Ponder/Pray method I learned in the LDS church. When I’m living holy (which is occasionally but not often) the information will just come to me.
At many times in my life I have looked at what doors that I believe God has closed or has begun closing so to direct me down the path He wills for me to take. It always ends up being the path of least resistance and it is almost always something that I immediately develop a confidence in doing as if I were inspired by an unknown energy. Any resistance that I build in my mind only leads to unnecessary difficulty which only serves to motivate me to get back on that path. You'll never know what good you will be missing out on in your life unless/until you start figuring out why you are at where you are at in your life and where God is seeking to lead you if only cooperate with His will.
I love your videos, you are hilarious and so informative. I’m not orthodox so I don’t know any saints to pray to, but I feel God’s will for my life when I have peace through prayer. I would love to explore orthodoxy but only Greek and Russian churches where I live
Missed opportunity to draw Milos trapped inside a giant hourglass in harem clothes.
Covid vax yes or no???:((
I just rededicate myself to the Theotokos every morning. Mother knows best….
Bless you
St. Ephraim sounds like the orthodox version of St. Padre Pio.. lol almost exactly
Thanks for the shout out 🙂
It seems to me that His will or path for me may be whatever opens my heart to receive the grace to follow the commandment of Jesus to love others as He has loved me.
The will of God is for Bojan to get married and reproduce, so we can have more of these hilarious Serbs running around making videos, obviously 😉
I mean, you could just pray to God.
"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him."
James 1:5
Your videos do not “sugarcoat” but they bring me comfort when I watch them. I’m experiencing a great deal of anxiety and depression and I am lucky to have free access to your videos and podcasts.
Hey Bojan, can you make a video on dating in Orthodoxy
Hey Bojan, can you make a video on dating in Orthodoxy
Although I am becoming Catholic I love you my Orthodox brothers and sisters, we need to keep Christ and the traditions alive, may God be with you all! ♥
The will of God for me is to be a 21st century Constantine the great and form a new Eastern Roman Empire. Because I'm just such a dominating GigaChad.
Thanks be to God for you, Bojan. I've missed you guys, since I got locked out of my account for a bit. Now that I'm back, if you could pleasure pray for my spiritual mother, Mother Thekla, I would be very grateful. Pax et bonum!<3<3<3
Hi Bojan, I have a question. In your opinion, is national pride or nationalism (without hate and nazism of course) bad for a Christian? I came to the Russian Orthodox Church because of my friend who is Orthodox, but also extremely nationalistic, I’ve always was sceptical of nationalism, but recently, I became concerned of how can this affect one’s spiritual life, but I am all too afraid to upset my friend, so I act as if I am a nationalist, he seems to include a lot of Christianity in his Nationalism and a lot of Nationalism in his Christianity, even saying, that a Christian should be a nationalist. I’m generally patriotic, but nationalism honestly scares me, not only ideologically but by stuff that internet nationalists say and do. What do you think? How should Christian approach this subject?
Thank you! I love your illustrations and explanations. Very clean and helps me a lot. When I have money I will support you!
Also thank you I literally was thinking about this very question the other day but don't think I ever found a satisfying answer (to be fair I got a little distracted as I like to read a lot of things at once). This is awesome advice that I will be using!
Probably not the will of God, probably the will of the algorithm, but Youtube has not been recommending your videos lately. I thought today, did something happen to Bojan, let me check if he has any new videos.
If orthodox people prayer the "Jesus Prayer" hundreds of times per day, then what does it mean when the bible says not to pray prayers of repetition?
I think a way for me is to become a priest, yet i am person needing affection, but clergy Has celibacy….
Is there something in Will of God , called "mixed sygnals"
Like :
-hearing from others :
"You would make a great priest "
"You cant be a priest get a reality check"
" U could be a friar…."
While giving me capability of loving, and not being a robot 🤖 incapable of understanding relationship beyond platonical, (no offense to clergy, IT was about me ,not you ,no one's offended )
@2:00 I thought clear cut is the right one?
So Orthodox DO pray to Saints…. Hmm. Where does it say to pray to saints in the Bible?
