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.

First 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 Damik, and Father

Stephen DeYoung, host this live call-in 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.

Good evening, giant killers, dragon slayers, bashers of bail.

You are listening to the Lord of Spirit's podcast, and my co-host, the very Reverend Doctor, Father Stephen DeYoung, is with me from Lafayette, Louisiana.

And I'm Father Andrew Stephen Damak, not as many initials next to my name here in Emmaus, Pennsylvania.

And we're live. Don't give up. You can get there.

You have five, six master's degrees now? Five, six?

I haven't told you yet, but it looks like I might be getting another one this summer.

Okay, as one does on your way to your second PhD, so... Yeah. I mean, you are going to die much younger than I am, so it is possible I could catch up someday. Probably. See, there you go. Probably. Yeah. So, yeah. So we are live. And listener, if you're listening to us live, you can call us at 855-237-236. That's 855-A-F-Radio. And you can talk to us, and we're going to get

your calls in the second half of the show, and Matrushka Trudy will be taking your calls.

In the Great Feast of Theophany, Jesus Christ is baptized in the Jordan River by the forerunner.

It's the inauguration of his public ministry, but it's a whole lot more.
