Someone on this board told me to go to an Orthodox service a few weeks ago. I did, and I've never felt closer to God in any protestant service than at the divine liturgy of this small Orthodox church. It was beautiful, dignified, serious, and based.
I am not sure if I should commit to Orthodoxy yet though. It is a demanding and arduous road which I am unsure whether I am ready to walk. First of all - the Orthodox church is an hour away. Second - Corinthians 7:20 commands you to stay with the congregation where God called you. For me, I would be lying if I didn't admit this is with the heretical UCC liberal church with a female pastor.
Namely… this UCC congregation leaves the door open to theological red-pilling because it encourages member sermons. I have an Orthodox study bible, I am listening to the priests and monks, learning to pray, trying to better myself. My plan is to continue studying Orthodoxy before offering sermons at UCC. I can hook them with the gospel music my daughter and I play, then I will explain exactly why Protestantism is failing and Orthodoxy is exploding.
Young Christians need something more real from Protestant churches. Unapologetic theology, which doesn't proselytize or evangelize to the largest audience. Men of the coming ages need a church which requires they live as Christians, not some club that adapts to whatever gay ass trend of the modern world and slaps a churchy label on it. Above all else, if Christianity wishes to survive it must remain authentic and true to God, as the first church has for 2000 years, and will continue so long as men breathe. I'm not sure where that will take me but it needs to be said, and my congregation needs to hear the truth.

For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says. If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask their husbands at home."
