State of the Blog: Gab News 2022

I could not begin this highlight without acknowledging the God-send we had in our chief contributor and teammate, Pastor Andrew Isker. He has pumped out a steady stream of well-writ blog pieces and sermon adaptations and doesn’t stop! Find his works here. Find him elsewhere bringing a pen and sword – on Gab and Twitter.

David Treebeard is learning how to see God in every moment, in both nature and culture. He likes to shoot his crossbow and shoot the breeze. When not writing for Gab News, David is probably reviewing taco restaurants or making Pemmican through his company, Steadfast Provisions. (Hint, go check out his grass-fed beef goods asap, you won’t be disappointed!)

Rachel Wilson is an Orthodox Christian wife and mother of five children. She is a homeschooling advocate who lives in the rural Midwest. When she is not attending to her duties to her family and church, she enjoys fitness, cooking, researching history, and studying philosophy and religion. Rachel is a licensed firearms instructor who specializes in home defense and concealed carry Instruction. She is the author of Occult Feminism: The Secret History of Women’s Liberation, which examines the ideological and historical roots of Feminism and their opposition to Christianity.

She has written two pieces for the Gab News blog, both found here. It is of mention that one of these, titled “Should You Homeschool?” was of such influence that it got her a segment on Tucker Carlson’s show! Her entire linktree.

Michael Witcoff is a married Jewish convert to Orthodox Christianity and the best-selling author of On The Masons And Their Lies. He also wrote Theopoetica, a book of classical Christian poetry – both are available on Amazon (or via DM on Gab). He also runs the Brother Augustine ministry on YouTube, Telegram, and Gab.

He has contributed more than a couple of pieces for the blog from a variety of topics. His work has been the fuel for substack writers to compose response pieces numerous times.

JY Lewis is an Orthodox Christian. Father. Husband. Lives in South Korea. Monarchist. Localist.

His debut piece from Christmas last year and his second stand-alone article on the Evidence for God.

Follow along on his gab profile and over on Substack for more.

Theophan, is an anon meme account admin and influencer in many online Christian circles. His writing for Gab garnered many comments from our users and was found shared on many other mediums. It’s as if “Conquering Lust” is a relevant topic or something. Find him on Gab, Instagram, and also over on his Patreon.

Zechariah Lynch is an Orthodox Christian and Priest. Freely given to be influenced and guided by the Orthodox Faith as the main foundation upon which he bases his thoughts and observations for his blog.

He has been very generous and gracious to allow us to promote his work any time we felt that the writing was of relevance and benefit. Many of his topics have been especially popular with our reader base and transcend denominational boundaries. Find his borrowed work here.

Roosh, the infamous and beloved blogger and writer has even had his work reflected in our blog from his own. Besides his articles, keep up with all his posting via Gab and Telegram.

ThinkingWest, in their words, aims to revive the “Great Conversation” in our digital age by promoting the study of the great books of the western world, classical approaches to education, and thoughtful commentary on current events, history, philosophy, culture, education, and religion.
This purpose statement is more than evident in a couple of pieces that were donated to the blog.

Find them on Gab or visit their website and YouTube channel.

Kilts is a Dragon Common Room poet.
Co-author of ‘Centrism Games’ and ‘Aurora Bearialis’, found here, working on an epic five-part series ‘DRACO ALCHEMICUS’.

Kilts has a mosaic approach to blogging, linking eclectic posts in her Vending Machine series. The effect is a jarring, uncompromising war on the status quo of the post-Enlightenment West.

She also co-hosts “The Mosaic Ark” streaming weekly on unauthorized.tv and Youtube with Professor Rachel Fulton Brown. The Ark is a McLuhan-Esque ride through symbolism and Medieval thought.
Kilts’ musings are on The Sandwhich Press on Telegram, a digital art project that feeds into DCR’s work. Read about it here.

One of our earliest contributors, Shane Schaetzel, led with this piece. He later offered a foundational template that was an important influence on the book “Christian Nationalism“.

Relatively new to Gab and the Blog, First Things Foundation is a non-profit that sends adventurous folks to impoverished, Old World countries for two years where they immerse in the culture, assist local entrepreneurs and return home enriched.

Robyn Riley is an Orthodox Christian, SAHM of two, and homemaker. Birth and postpartum doula. She is also a digital media creator focusing on political commentary, the challenges of motherhood, marriage, and developing one’s femininity.

Her main mediums for commentary are YouTube live-streams, Twitter, Instagram, and Telegram. She speaks to the ever more common experience of de-programming from the radical feminist mindset. She is a voice for those women who feel alienated by an increasingly ideological view of what womanhood is. On Gab, she brought us an encapsulation of all of these things in her article titled, “On Christian Feminity.”

Timothy Honeycutt is an Orthodox Christian and the creator of the Orthodox Wisdom podcast where he reads the writings and lives of the Orthodox Saints. His singular debut article on an American holy man, Fr. Seraphim Rose was highly favored by many readers.

We even had a singular entry from renowned Twitter user “Patriarch Prime” Kaleb, allowed us a republish of his thought-provoking piece here. The rest of his work can be found on his Medium.

J. Pilgrim is a, mostly, internet anon and actual Homesteader, carving out a future for his family in the woods. His article, “Cursed Earth” was particularly resonant with our readers and we are expecting more like this reflection piece quite soon.

An excerpt:
“This cursed ground is my salvation. It is here that I willingly choose to sacrifice myself for my family. It is here that I will repent of my laziness. It is here, on this dry, rocky ground, that I will fully learn what it means to provide for my family. This cursed ground will teach me patience, and gratitude, and to put my family first. It will humble me.”
