Hearted Youtube comments on Heavy Things Lightly (@heavythingslightly) channel.

  1. I’m from Wisconsin, but apart from family and my “up north” cabin culture the Serbian and Sheboygan’s Greek community is mostly what culture in Wisconsin is for me now.

  2. Thanks for introducing us to Kilts. She is profound. She is on a level with only the Pageau bros and Father Turbo... I have been bingeing her podcast Mosiac Ark

  3. Wow. Tha makes perfect sense -- Christians having thrown over Symbolism for science paved the way for so many of the materialist only bound views all around us. I always wondered why Christians didn't have a better argument besides just "because God said so."

  4. This was really good. I still like the “control” and death jab narrative even if it’s incomplete 😆

  6. What a great interview!! Timothy, every time I pick up Ethics of Beauty or hear you speak, I encounter another layer of depth and richness and another idea to pursue - another way to capture what you are saying and put it in different contexts. I love what you say about becoming true, recovering wholeness, being mild, and of course, the city as liturgy. Also I'm very happy to know about the Emmanuel Gospel Center which is right here in Boston and I love the analogy of the cat and the toaster. John, come to Boston and do a Keipi dinner! Please? Thank you so much for doing this interview.

  7. What is the ecological function of humans? This question is essentially The Big Question, in my life at least 🤷‍♂️

  8. I love what you end up saying but I like trump in that unlike other presidents he is openly bad ,I think God hates hypocrisy more.

  11. We’re going to have dinners too in the big room, I call it the ballroom, which has crystal chandeliers, huge crown molding and my mom’s (RIP 2018) antique furniture and crystal, China, etc. I hope to attract younger adults to learn about Christ through beauty!

  13. 24:47 "It is the huge heresy of 'precedent' and our attitude to it that I attack. It is the view that because we have got into a mess we must grow messier to suit it; that because we have taken a wrong turn some time ago we must go forward and not backwards; that because we have lost our way we must lose our map also; and because we have missed our ideal we must forget it" [G K Chesterton]

  14. Fr. Silouan killing @ around 30:00min. Moment of silence for these words.

  15. This reminds me of Jacques Ellul’s concept of “technique”… Conclusion= technique kills civilization while also seemingly advancing it.

  16. Thank you for your work John. I have to remember these things are LITERALLY to die for. God help me.

  17. Love hearing John talk. Very cool mannerisms mixed with a true beautiful heart. Keep doing what you do, if I were young without a fam I’d be rolling around the world with you. Your brothers pretty cool too 😂

  18. I like the connections between Orthodoxy and the old world that you illustrated here. It's one of the things I found I love so much about the faith and how it moves organically in new areas. The story of St Herman in Alaska is amazing. There's a channel called Ask A Mortician and that gal is trying to bring about a more positive attitude toward death because our traditions currently are around fear of death and while she does promote the individual choosing what happens to their body after death, I think that she eventually helped me feel more easy with death before a became a Christian. She was a step in the right direction. Now death isn't even scary. I definitely see it as a journey and life is a journey to death. Though, the different kinds of death in the church get a little confusing sometimes. 😆 We are trying to avoid death and think about/meditate on death and it's a joyous tension that really does feel like walking on a tight rope. But I'm beginning to find that tension and all the other tensions to be a really rewarding experience. Thanks for this video!

  19. 😆 The thing about the appendix is that it turns out that it IS useful and lazily removing it... the same way they remove tonsils can be detrimental. I think the idea of ripping things apart without knowing what they do reminds me of my little brother deleting files in my computer because he said they were useless. I think it's important to note that religion serves the purpose at the very least of establishing our relationship to everything. Taking it away causes confusion... which is totally evident by the way the new world looks to me.

  20. This was wonderful! Please do this once a year. Have another talk where you discuss what you each gleaned from each other's podcasts! ☺️

  21. Doesn’t Tom Hollands book Dominion also claim similarities that are covered here? I love this conversation I have gained knowledge and insight from hearing it. Thank you.

  24. Wow, John. You hit it out of the ballpark with this one. Now I'm going to watch the Rumpelstiltskin video.

  30. Ah.. At @ c. 1:07:00 KIlts says we're not going to beat Rome. But we *did* beat Rome, Kilts. That's the Sign of Jonas, the one miracle proffered every unbelieving generation and age. Jonah went to Ninevah and converted the Ninevites to sackcloth and ashes. Peter and Paul and then countless martyrs like Ignatius went to Rome, and converted her, converted the world. Rome was conquered by our martyrdom. That's the miracle that the gates of Hell against which will not prevail. All of this vain pomposity will fall into pathetic heaps before the humility of our God.

  40. Loved this conversation! As far as the various converts go, maybe this is where we should be reminded of Father Seraphim Rose's The Royal Path? I mean other church Fathers long before wrote of it but he had pulled it back up to the forefront, and Fr. Josiah Trenham and Fr. Peter Heers remind us as well. Focusing on the Royal Path we neither tilt too far one way or the other. Looking forward to more great conversations!

  41. I'd love a clip of that piece starting at 1:05:55

  42. 12:00 “the totality of the human being as body and soul” What/who is Christ’s Body? Where is it? I agree 100%, Christ’s body is not merely equivalent to those who self-identify with it *in their minds*.

  43. It was amazing to see you two have fun with it. I wish you could've gone longer!

  44. Fun fact: last year I sent Paul Kingsnorth a manuscript for review of a novel which contains a pretty scathing critique of Christianity and a sex scene in a cathedral*. I had no idea Paul was in the process of converting! Thankfully he didn't seem to take offence and I got some useful feedback. *another fun fact, I went to Chester Cathedral to get some inspiration for the scene, and the Bishop was going round asking people what had drawn them to the building that day. I decided to avoid him.

  47. Human is a gardener... That's a Christian theological answer that I do 100% agree. We can protect and grow it even to other planets but instead we do nothing!
