Bible Characters AFTER the Bible

The New Testament introduces a vast array of amazing characters; the first generation of Christians. But their stories don't end there! This episode, we bring up the fact that for most of the characters in Scripture, we have sequel stories BEYOND the Bible.
A few links:
Who is Photini: • Who Is St. Photini?
Thomas in India: • When did Christianity ...
Lazarus (a poetry short film inspired by the Gospels account): • Lazarus
If you are watching all these things and wanting more interesting things in your life, I can recommend you the Lord of Spirits podcast. It's good! Fair warning: they talk for aaaages, go on random tangents, and the episodes are loooong but... there's some great material in there (recommend starting at the beginning and going chronological through the show): www.ancientfaith.com/podcasts...

Thank you for letting me know that my name and my grandmother’s name came from the woman at the well 🙏✝️

[@Patristix]

It is a wonderful name!

[@stvargas69]

I was baptised Roman Catholic, I have been attending a non denominational protestant church. I was never ever told about the history of Christianity. I wasnt even told of any saints or apostles. I feel so cheated. Its like all there is the Bible, and it was always here without strife. It seems so ungrateful

[@Patristix]

Come and see an Eastern Orthodox service sometime! You will be amazed. Its actually our Easter this coming weekend too. May God bless you!

[@sergeauclair9175]

The computerized French translation is not very good. I'd rather go with : Personnages bibliques au-delà de la Bible.

[@Patristix]

Thank you! Fixed it with your suggestion. The subtitles were made by a French friend, but the title was ours and we don't speak French.

[@cameronhale416]

After coming from a evangelical Protestant into Eastern Orthodoxy, it has been a beautiful and intriguing transition. I feel like I have missed out on so much of our faith. Patristix, y’alls channel has been a huge blessing with getting me over Protestant hurtles and informing me on so much depth to being a Christian. May the Lord bless you guys! Thank you!

[@Patristix]

Thank you so much for watching, and God bless!

[@hopepetipren7126]

So helpful to explain to others how wonderful our faith family is. Thank you.

Glory to God

[@DEACON0321]

I am so happy that you did this episode and I am SO excited for what’s to come! This is Veggie Tales for adult nerds and born again Christians! I am giddy! My inner nerd is doing backflips!

[@kevinseaquist9670]

Great video series. You have done a wonderful job from the set, video quality, to the graphics. I'm enjoying your content.

[@Patristix]

Thank you so much! Merry Christmas!

[@vladguydarzhi9574]

Keep doing what your doing

[@danielbell5336]

Never stop on this channel. You have no idea the truth you spread and the impact your having. I have been. Moved and seek further through this channel.

[@TheSamuil23]

Great video, though, if I were to make a remark, the music felt a bit heavy

[@AELmom-fs4jq]

I am gutted after watching this video. Coming from an evangelical background, I was always told “we don’t know the name” of the woman at the well, or what happened to her. I feel so cheated. Of course God’s people knew her name! I am so upset that no pastor ever at least said, “according to non-canonical tradition, here’s the rest of the story….”, but the fact is they probably never knew this story, either! I’ve been a Christian for most of my life but I know nothing about the saints, or church history, which is to my shame. I can’t thank you enough for producing these videos. I’m really looking into Orthodoxy now.

[@Patristix]

God bless you! Be of good cheer, there are a LOT of beautiful things to discover. Don't feel shame though. There is no shame in not knowing what wasn't available to know. May God bless your journey of discovering Orthodoxy and the treasures of the Early Church!

[@thekatarnalchemist]

I know the feeling. It's one of the reasons I'm now a catechuman.

[@ancientofdayslionofjudah2427]

I like hearing their story because they feel somewhat realatable and more human. They often describe, in more detail than those in the bible, the human struggles behind their spiritual life and teachings which I feel like I can relate to better. Bless you.

[@mjs397]

Knowing that the protestant tradition I was raised in would forget most of these stories is hard for me. I love the tradition that keeps their memories alive. Thank you for your videos.

[@AELmom-fs4jq]

I agree, it makes me feel cheated knowing that all this knowledge and history was simple thrown out the window. I’m really questioning Protestantism and its many branches.

[@keminwokocha5219]

Started watching your videos and I love every episode! Please continue to talk about these faithful men and women as they are examples of how we should live out our Christian Faith!

[@dolphinshark3202]

I love your videos. You explain all of these concepts so brilliantly.❤

[@Patristix]

Thanks for the kind words! God bless ☦️

[@o-matt3570]

Fascinating

[@WilliamDusing]

What are some books you recommend on the "beyond the Bible" history?

[@WilliamDusing]

Yet another wonderful video!

[@vazhamzhavia1008]

St. Andrew came in Georgia and brought the unhandmade icon of Virgin Mary and this icon is still in Georgia, named Awyuri, from first bishop cathedra in south georgia, which was established by st. Andrew. Here is a place in mountains where was bult first christian church and was blessed first priest and deacon, it is villiage Didachara.

[@prayunceasingly2029]

Your videos deserve more views!

[@Patristix]

Thank you! Please do share them around!

[@prayunceasingly2029]

@@Patristix Alright! Thank you for the insightful videos. 😀

[@joshuacrock]

Solid bro. Soild.

[@1dcondave]

Hearing the stories of the 1st century saints and the people who had only gotten scant mention in the pages of the New Testament was part of my becoming an orthodox Christian

[@Jeremy-ge6zv]

Brethren share this channel with as many people as possible🫡☦️ Christ Is King

[@juradoalejandro5261]

The sense that we can participate and celebrate the stories, very real ones, of those who love Christ, is such an amazing opportunity to breath fresh air in a decadent modern world where the bible is reduced to a set of books loosely connected. These are real stories, of real people, we ought to remember and celebrate. Christ is truly risen, and acting upon the world!

[@nicholasrose6366]

So i know there are a few traditions surrounding St John and his death, but i don’t remember them including him dieing in exile.

[@Yes2Day]

What an incredible channel. My favourite video yet! Thank you and God bless

[@Patristix]

Thank you for watching!

[@ameecallaghan7979]

Absolutely love this !! And cannot wait for all of these stories!!

[@Patristix]

Thanks so much! Lots more to come

[@Sergi25026]

Amazing content! Will you do one on the structure of the Orthodox Church? Many people unfamiliar with it seem unfamiliar with the role of patriarchs and the EP and often compare it to the papal system.

[@Patristix]

Thank you! And perhaps down the road we might do some more videos on the 'technical' stuff. Obviously no end of things to look at in the Early Church!

[@FatherAndTeacherTV]

I am so grateful for this channel and this video on the different saints. "Orthodox 'Veggie Tales'!" - Hilarious, Stephan.

[@Patristix]

Cheers, friend!

[@feeble_stirrings]

Great episode. Love the way things are coming along. Are you planning on doing one on the NT/formation of the canon?

[@Patristix]

I'm sure we will! We're definitely not going to run out of topics for certain... Thank you very much for following the videos!

[@rubenramirez461]

Before this video, I had never heard of most of these people or known they had names, well done 👏

[@Patristix]

And there's even more than I mentioned! Thanks for watching

[@Banthegreekman]

I guess the hashtag #FreeTheTea lives on past this episode. 🤣 But now we have a new hastag for this episode #AllHailTheCucumber 🤣 Excellent episode once again. Those in depth episodes are going to be amazing, I can that you had to hold back a lot of what you wanted to say for them. Well done once again my friend!

[@Patristix]

Two weeks... wait two weeks...

[@OrthodoxInsights]

I'm looking forward to the longer episodes going in depth on many of these great Saints!

[@Patristix]

There are so many stories to discover! They'll come

[@irene1234]

This is my favorite one so far. That's needful to be reminded of this and inform others that there is much much much more to the story than just the Holy Bible alone. I just realized, the casual, homey ambience of these videos reminds me of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood! And I mean that in the best way possible :)

[@Patristix]

Thanks, Irene! Glad you're enjoying them! And you're right, it's very exciting to know just how much MORE the Bible can be appreciated with more story

[@AaronPLehmann]

Great episode... But what about the TEA?

[@Patristix]

Dreadfully sorry! We forgot several times during recordings. After next week we shouldn't forget again

[@AaronPLehmann]

@@Patristix see that you don't. :)

[@Kaptnkrnch]

Well done guys. I get the sense we're all gearing up for great things from ya'll. LOL "Orthodox Veggie Tales" .... oh my. In college I worked at a Christian Bookstore at the height of the VT, we had a display with a monitor that played a commercial for their videos which included of the course, the full song on a loop I still cringe at the thought hahaha!

[@Patristix]

There are some fantastic episodes though! And they reference Captain Crunch!

[@steadfastgodcast]

Really good content, Love the channel 👏

[@Patristix]

Thanks for the encouragement!
