Why You Should Be Orthodox (and Not a Modernist)
There are two kinds of Christians in the Church today: those who believe it’s all real—and those who treat it like a social club. In this video, Brian Holdsworth explores the difference between authentic faith and modernist imitation. Drawing on vivid analogies and personal conviction, he explains why orthodoxy isn’t about rigidity—it’s about survival, integrity, and salvation.
