My guest is Fr. John Valadez, a priest at St. Timothy Orthodox Church in Lompoc, CA. Growing up in Orange County, Fr. John was jaded by its fakeness and gravitated to punk rock as a rebellion against the system. Until he realized it wasn’t. Punk rock was a false rebellion. He didn’t know what Orthodoxy was at the time but he was in search of a radical Christianity that could satisfy his desire for truth and authenticity. A Monday night bible study at a tattoo parlor and a magazine called Death to the World changed his life. He found the last true rebellion. In this episode, we discuss that journey, what it means to die to the world, the anti-Christ, unity among the orthodox churches, and so much more. You can follow Fr.
