When men cut themselves off from the transcendent, nihilism follows—and souls collapse.

In this conversation, Paul and Fr. John Strickland unpack Dostoevsky vs. Nietzsche: why “will to power” ends in self-destruction, how Crime and Punishment exposes the cost of transgression, and what an Orthodox return to order, hierarchy, and worship offers modern men. If you’re disillusioned with the culture and hungry for strength, stability, and brotherhood, this is for you.
