In this episode Dan and Greg speak with special guest, Fr Geoffrey Ready, about psychedelics and their (potential) place in medicine and the Church.

DISCLAIMER: Hopefully it is clear already from the episode, but Dan and Greg do not condone or advise the use of psychedelics in Orthodox Christian life. Fr Geoffrey's views push the envelope in interesting ways and his opinion may differ, but the Men among Demons continue to recommend a focus on the tried and true pathways that the Church provides us for gaining spiritual insight and a deeper relationship with Christ.

Ever imagined what the journey of embodying a Saint feels like? We bring you an exclusive behind-the-scenes glimpse into the Cloud of Witnesses podcast where our voice actors reveal their experiences of bringing Saints of the Bible, like John the Baptist, Andrew, and Simon Peter, to life. We delve into the transformative power of faith and the profound impact of portraying biblical scenes.

As we journey further, we discuss the courage it takes to follow Christ. Drawing inspiration from the lives of St. Peter and St. Andrew, we explore the concept of embracing change and having our values tested. Reflecting on the life-altering encounter with Christ, we underscore the transformative power of faith. We wrap up by discussing the significant role of Saint Andrew in the Orthodox Church and how 'thinking like a saint' positively alters our lives. So, join us for this enlightening exploration as we continue to narrate the Bible in our own unique style.

Dan and Greg are joined by professional tax accountant Andrew Hudson who shares some of his insights into the implications of modern finance and capitalism on Christian life. The men among demons discuss money, capitalism, value, and the demonic trends in our current economic culture and system.

Most of this month's episode will be posted only for our patrons on Patreon.com For the public podcast we share the last portion of our discussion centering on how Christians in the West can best respond to the crisis in Israel and Palestine through prayer. Dan and Greg discuss the power of prayer as a form of real and genuine Christian action that guides us to wisdom and humility, and allows us to participate in God's shaping of the world even when there is truly nothing else we can do to help fix our broken world.

In this episode, I speak to Pia Chaudhari about her book Dynamis of Healing: Patristic Theology and the Psyche published by Fordham University Press. 

Pia holds a doctorate in theology from the Department of Psychiatry & Religion at Union Theological Seminary in New York. Her research interests include theological anthropology, depth psychology, processes of healing, and the engagement with aestetics and beauty. She is a founding co-chair of the Analytical Psychology and Orthodox Christianity Consultation (APOCC).

Greg and Dan talk about the purpose and different forms of education, and the tendencies of the modern educational system to tend toward angelic and demonic vectors. The episode concludes with some reflections on how to approach education in the body of Christ and the need for a diversity of responses to the problem of how to teach ourselves and our children in today's world.

In this episode, Greg and Dan begin with a discussion of Greg's recent ordination as a deacon that evolves into a deep dive into the patterns of family, fatherhood, and motherhood that Christians must aim for, as well as a couple of the demonic patterns of the same seen in our world.

In this episode, Greg and Dan discuss ChatGPT and machine learning language models, reflecting on what they say about our society's attitude toward language, its function, and its significance. They then delve into some of the demonic patterns of approaching language that well predate new technological tools and some of the liturgical and sacramental significance of language that has been lost to much of our society.

Σήμερα θα μας μιλήσει ο ιατρός Ιωάννης Ψαρρομάτης για τη σημερινή ευαγγελική περικοπή, οι οποία περιγράφει την άνοδο του Ιησού προς την Ιερουσαλήμ πριν από το Πάθος, από του κατά Μάρκου ευαγγελίου, κεφάλαιο 10, στίχοι 32 έως 45.

In this special episode Dan and Greg are joined by their daughters Kaylah Wiebe and Patti Opperwall to discuss life in middle school. The girls share some surprising and remarkably thoughtful insights about the specific challenges they face at their age and how they have found ways to live a Christian life in spite of it all.

Always a creative and loving rebel, Steven Mathewson (his radio personality aka Tyrone Semper) shares his views on the world as he noticed things being "off" starting in his teen years where he describes trying to legally get off from a car accident, then joining a constitutional group in 2000 in his late 20s and now seeing so many people becoming more awake and not feeling so alone anymore (he is now in his early 50s). We get heavy into NASA,  Flat Earth theory, his love of being an Orthodox Christian, death/destruction, down to his own amazing planet discovery (the video portion of this interview shows the actual picture he took which is wild). Overall, man/woman/land, love is the answer, all you have is today and bloom where you are planted,

Enhancing the Great Awakening, the Just Be Practice centers on increasing your intuition with a remote viewing exercise. Beyond it, practice, practice.
