He will be a staff for the righteous with which for them to stand and not to fall,

and he will be the light of the nations and the hope of those whose hearts are troubled.

All who dwell on the earth will fall down and worship him,

and they will praise and bless and celebrate with song, the Lord of Spirits.

1.Enoch, chapter 48, verses 4 through 5. The modern world doesn't acknowledge,

but is nevertheless haunted by spirits, angels, demons, and saints. In our time, many yearn

to break free of the prison of a flat, secular materialism, to see and to know reality as it truly is. What is this spiritual reality

like? How do we engage with it well? How do we permeate everyday life with spiritual presence?

Orthodox Christian priests, Father Andrew Stephen Damick, and Father Stephen DeYoung,

host this live show focused on enchantment in creation,

the union of the scene and unseen as made by God and experienced by mankind throughout history.

Welcome to the Lord of Spirits.

Greetings, giant killers, dragon slayers, persuvance of the perfidiously paranormal.

You are listening to the Lord of Spirits podcast, and this is episode 121. I don't know, a few episodes back, I thought it was a good idea to start giving these numbers, just so we could all feel a little bit more exhausted. My co-host, Father Stephen DeYoung, the material menace that menaces the Phantom Menace is with me straight from the swamp in Lafayette, Louisiana.

And I'm Father Andrew Stephen Damock in Amas, Pennsylvania, percars precariously atop the Arcane Tower of Podcasting,

hovering dozens of stories above a disused gateway to the underworld.

And this is a pre-recorded episode.

So we're not taking any calls for this one. Next time, though, next time it'll be all calls. So get ready. Feel free to call and see what happens, though. Yeah, I mean, as we always say, has that ever happened? We don't know, probably because there's no one actually sitting there next to the phone. There might be tonight, though. There might be someone sitting there lonely and bored.

Yeah, poor Mike DeGan. And even bright up their day with a phone call.

Yeah.

Everyone say a prayer for Mike Degan.

He has to spend his nights at the ancient faith studio.
