Come listen to our interview of Joshua, an ex-pro MMA fighter who was trapped in a New Age cult, but by the Grace of God, found his way into the Orthodox Church! #Orthodoxy #Podcast #Christian #trending #shorts #popular #viral #Vishnu #GodIncarnate #Hinduism #ReligiousBeliefs #DivinePower #Spirituality #Deity #Faith #Devotion #Divinity #CloudofWitnesses #mma #newage #cult #conversion #orthodoxy
Professional MMA fighter converts to Orthodox Christianity!
Have you ever witnessed a fighter transform, not just in the ring, but spiritually? Our latest guest, Joshua Williams, a former MMA fighter and current black belt in Jiu-Jitsu, takes us on a gripping odyssey from the highs of his fighting career to the depths of his soul, and the extraordinary spiritual renaissance that followed. His journey from the self-focused doctrines of New Age thought to a profound spiritual awakening, finding Orthodox Christianity, is not just a story; it's a testament to the human spirit's relentless quest for truth.
Throughout this episode, Joshua details his global pilgrimage from the monasteries of Thailand to the peaks of the Himalayas, delving into the world's religions, cultures, and the universal yearnings of the heart. His encounters range from the mystical to the harrowing, as he grapples with personal loss, confronts enigmatic gurus, and uncovers the dark underbelly of a controversial spiritual school. Each chapter of his story peels back the layers of his evolving faith, culminating in his unexpected gravitation towards Eastern Orthodoxy, influenced by modern thinkers and ancient traditions alike.
As we close this chapter of our podcast, Joshua's narrative encourages us to reflect on our own spiritual journeys and the communities that shape our path. His profound transformation into a life centered around Christ's teachings of humility and trust is both inspiring and thought-provoking. Join us as we share in the celebration of his new chapter, where martial arts and spiritual insight converge at his coming San Diego gym and through his YouTube channel—a fitting arena for a fighter reborn.

I have no doubt in my mind that had Christ been presented to me in any other package at that time, I would have completely rejected it, because even in that package that was like, so tailor made for me, like, honestly, the only thing that wasn't tailor made for that to me for that package was that it included Christ. You see, like I wanted everything except for Christ. So I, looking back, I truly believe that God met me where I was, but he wasn't going to leave me there. Yeah, I mean, I still barely accepted him. You know, it still came down to that, to that really, me having to actually face my own hypocrisy, like, and it was also me finally being willing to give up my moral autonomy.
At some point I finally realized that if I really want to know the truth, I have to be willing to sacrifice my moral autonomy, which basically meant becoming celibate. Like that was the main thing that I didn't want to accept. And then I accepted it. Nobody imposed it on me. Once I believed that Christ is who he said he was. Even though I believed extracurricular things, we'll call it, you know I still came to believe that Christ was the Son of God, he was God, he was, he was basically who he said he was, and that, for me, just flipped the switch. Like, then, I have to, I have to stop fornicating.
I had been sharing some of my doubts about the Guru with some of my closer friends in the school. That stuff got leaked to the Guru and right before there was going to be this new spiritual practice, this new initiation, the Guru called me out in front of the whole school and said you know, so I hear you've had some doubts about me and you're saying I'm a charlatan and this and that, and so I kind of defended myself a little bit and then he was like oh, it's not as rosy as you painted. And I said well, it's not as bad as you painted. So I kind of stood up to him a little bit and then he said well, you don't represent me in any way. You say you've made efforts to expand the spiritual school in the US, but now I see that you'll be the first one to plant seeds of doubt in anyone's mind over whether or not I'm truly enlightened.
