🐰 Gadfly Academy / You Are Not A Machine
New channel! Cultural criticism from an Orthodox Christian perspective:
youtube.com/@Herman_Middleton
In a world obsessed with control, Orthodoxy offers something radically different: freedom through surrender.
In this video, Sister Anastasia discusses the tension between Western Christianity and Orthodox spirituality, the challenge of humbling the mind, and why true faith is less about proving you’re right and more about drawing close to the living Christ.
Find how self-worship blocks divine healing — and how surrender leads to simplicity, love, and freedom.
Sister Anastasia is a nun of the Monastery of Saint Macarius the Great, in Arizona. In her remarkable book (SVS Press), You Are Mine, she chronicles her conversion to Christianity from a deep immersion in pagan religions and secular ideology.
She also has a weekly blog, Apocalypse: sisteranastasia.substack.com
