  • A protestant pastor, as usual. (Why can't more Trad Catholic men be awake & aware, mature, manly, socially adept, witty, and cool in general? UGH.)



    I've already learned a lot, and I'm not exactly a beginner. He used to be Special Forces.

    Oh, and the guy is a whopping 54 years old. Only a dozen years older than me. With his big white beard he looks like Santa Claus, but he's not even old enough to be a Baby Boomer (although he's right on the line). The dude is fit, too -- he runs marathons.

    He is a great speaker, easy to watch/listen to, great personality, has a great "camera presence" (he is comfortable on camera), etc.

  • He shares a lot of my life philosophy and traits I admire:

    Always think, be a philosopher
    Hate Feminism
    Hate Political Correctness
    Admit that evil men/cօռspιʀαcιҽs exist, but discern and be prudent. don't waste too much time on them or believe all of them
    Do what you can, don't worry about what you can't
    Be prudent, don't be a hothead
    Prioritize thinking over feeling; control your emotions as they can be dangerous
    Be as self-sufficient and self-reliant as possible
    Never stop learning/always be improving
    Humility
    Be a real man
    Tell it like it is, be down to earth -- and have a sense of humor
    Don't be afraid of real work
    Country is better than the city
    God created the world; His design and order is the best order and should be respected always
    Keep the Big Picture and everything in balance: don't get too focused or dogmatic about details (type of gun to have, exercise regime you should use, etc.)
    Learn from the mistakes of others
    Always be prepared
    Share what you know and help others
    Experience and practice beats theory every time
    Better 1 month early than 10 minutes late
    etc.

    This man is a Protestant pastor, married for 33 years, living in the Ozarks.

    But unfortunately he has most Trad laymen beat, except for having the full truth about which Church is the true one. I haven't met many Trads in my life who are as truly successful (successful in things that matter) or admirable (in natural virtues) as this man. He's a 24/7 kind of Christian. Although he has a rather silly religion (a weird hodgepodge of Old Testament Jєω and Christian) How many Trads are integral/whole and put their beliefs into daily life, even when it requires great sacrifices? So many Trads are worldly, vapid, superficial, and uninteresting compared to a man like this.

    Is it because he was born and raised overseas? Maybe America corrupts everything? I'm open to suggestions. I've also just started watching his videos, so maybe I'll learn more in the coming days and weeks.

  • Well said, Matthew.

    One thing to note, he calls himself a "Hebrew Israelite", but they're essentially Protestants. "Hebrew Israelites" don't use the word "Christian" to describe themselves. My understanding is they're NOT Zionists.

    As you said, he's a former Green Beret. He's also a former SERE (survival, evasion, resistance & escape) instructor. He worked for NIA (national intel office), and, he sorta implied, his dad worked for CIA while he grew up.

    My feeling is he got sick of the policies and agenda of the government and various alphabet agencies, which is why he's no longer with them.

    Although he's a veteran, he advocates men NOT join the military for training and experience because the U.S. military is used for evil.

    Ozarks are a great place to live. I lived there a long time, and I hope to return as soon as I'm able. I, unfortunately, live in the St. Louis area which isn't too far from the Ozarks.

    I think trad Catholics should strongly consider relocating to the Ozarks and bonding together like his community.

    Anyway, he offers various survival, outdoor living, security, preparedness and other training courses (real life / field experience). Since he's not too far from where I live, I'm going to take his survival & outdoor living course. I already know and have experience in some of it, but I'm sure I can learn a lot more from him.

    International Women's Day is a day we all celebrate Eve's rebellion at the Tree and our plummet into sin.

    This guy must be virtually the same group as that black preacher Pastor Dowell (we had a CI member, or ex-member who basically spam-posted tons of his sermons for a while).
    Both were off-grid, both called themselves "hebrew israelites", both were very serious about the Bible (fundamentalist, rather than wishy-washy "mainstream") but I think the other group was mostly black?

  • The other pastor was Pastor Dowell. When I first came across his YouTube channel I found him interesting, but swiftly stopped  watching. I admire the strength of conviction, the virtually in your face approach, but could not convince myself to continue to watch as it seemed like a dangerous path to go down...unfortunately I also believe I will miss those little golden nuggets to be found in the most unlikely places. For the safety of my soul (and I cannot identify anything specifically wrong) I chose to not watch anymore. 
    I agree Matthew, that Viking preparedness is a really good channel, so long as you keep tight hold of the faith. I do not believe he wants to push his faith on anyone, but just help people in the preparedness areas.
