What is the 'Barrel Aged Faith'? + Mary's Dormition

Why the Ancient Barrels of the 12 Apostles Still Refresh the World

Aug 14, 2023

Hello Barrel Aged Christians,

Recently, I had a fun interview with William Albretch, and we had a good time talking about the deeper meaning behind the ‘Barrel Aged Faith.’ Enjoy this clip above and thanks to all of you who support the Barrel through your prayers, encouragement, and financial support. It wouldn’t exist without you!

Also, don’t forget to attend church tomorrow to commemorate Mary’s Dormition or passing into the next life. All of the Apostolic Churches (Catholic, Orthodox, Coptic, Assyrian Church of the East) celebrate this day on August 15th, when her body, which held our immaculate Lord, was translated into Heaven to be in its rightful place as the container of the Uncontainable God or the New Ark of the Covenant. You can learn more by watching our full interview below.

Be entirely His,

Kyle

Green Martyrdom & the Rise of the Machines

Many people asked me why I did this. There are 10,000 reasons that I could give, but they could all be summarized into one —

Did you know that the first Easter sermon was actually preached in Hell?! And did you know that this proclamation was given by none other than Christ Himself? Because Jesus experienced a true death, his soul actually separated from his body and descended into the realm of the dead (also called

Should Infant Confirmation & Communion Be Restored in the Christian West?

“Yes, they’re infants, but they are his members. They’re infants, but they receive his sacraments. They are infants, but they share in his table, in order to have life in themselves.” -St. Augustine of Hippo (4th century) As a former Parish Catechetical Leader and Catholic High School Theology Teacher, I was often asked by parishioners and stud…

What did C.S. Lewis mean by 'Further Up & Further In'? Theosis!

Theosis as Eternal Growth Energized by God In 2019, I had the opportunity to visit Yosemite National Park where I beheld a great valley filled with massive granite cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and towering Sequoia trees. These ‘mythical’ trees, which live in California's Sierra Nevada mountains, can grow to be over 300 feet tall and can live for over 30…

Did Christ Ordain the Apostles as His Priests?

In my favorite novel, The Lord of the Rings, there is a profound, religious scene that doesn’t make it into the film versions. Treebeard, a walking and talking tree who is the chief elder of the Ents (other talking trees), performs an act of consecration like a priest. Merry and Pippin travel with Treebeard to Wellinghall, an ent-house, and when they wa…
