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.

The show was impressive in scope, but easier to marvel at than to immerse yourself in.

The staging was static and pacing strange.

The long, impressionistic streaks in the first half clumsily offset by the frantically plot-heavy ending.

The musical portions, as in all of West's religious projects, were competent and occasionally excellent.

He uses music from his own catalog judiciously, bringing say you will and its orchestral

coda in and out as a recurring motif, and finally fixing wolves.

And that was from Rolling Stone's review of Kanye West's 2019 musical opera,

Nebuchadnezzar, which I have to thank you for letting me even know that that exists.

I wish that that was our lead-in instead of the other guy.

Yeah, should we fire the voice of Steve? Who they're putting on there just to spite me.
