The Lord of Spirits
The Seen and Unseen World in Orthodox Christian Tradition
The modern world doesn’t acknowledge but is nevertheless haunted by spirits—angels, demons and saints.
Orthodox Christian priests Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick and Fr. Stephen De Young host this live call-in show focused on enchantment in creation, the union of the seen and unseen as made by God and experienced by mankind throughout history.
What is spiritual reality like? How do we engage with it well? How do we permeate everyday life with spiritual presence?
The live edition of this show airs on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month at 6pm ET / 3pm PT. Tune in at Ancient Faith Radio.
