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, 1st denoc, chapter 48, verses 4-5.

The modern world doesn't acknowledge but is nevertheless haunted by spirits, angels, demons, and saints.

In our time, many year into 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 De Young, host this live Colin 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, good evening, giant killers, dragon slayers, stompers on scorpions and serpents. You are listening to Lord of Spirits podcast.

My co-host Father Stephen De Young is with me from Lafayette Louisiana, and I am Father Andrew Stephen Damick in Emeas, Pennsylvania.

If you're listening to us live, you can call us at 855-AF radio. That's 855-237-2346, and Montesca true to you are very own.

It's taking your calls this evening, and we're going to get to those in the second part of our show.

I take a deep breath to see if Father Stephen's going to interject something before I...

No, why would I do that?

I don't know.

So Lord of Spirits is brought to you by our listeners, and also by Chrysostom Academy.

A lot of you listeners out there, I know you work from home, and if you are telecommuting, you can probably live almost anywhere.

And if you're a parent of school-aged kids, you're like me working from a virtual office, then one of your big considerations for where you choose to live is where your kids go to school.

I love living in the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania. I've been here for 14 years now.

And part of why I love living here is because my kids go to Chrysostom Academy, which is a Penn Orthodox classical school with elementary through high school students.

It is a beautiful 55-acre campus that it's on, it has very high academic standards, and it's focused not just on educating the mind, but actually forming the whole person in Christ.

If you don't live here yet, think about moving to the Lehigh Valley, sending your kids to Chrysostom Academy.
