In this episode of Raised & Redeemed, Archpriest Seraphim Holland joins me to clarify what Scripture and the Holy Fathers truly teach about angels—from the nine-rank angelic hierarchy and guardian angels, to spiritual warfare and the dangers of New Age distortions. This conversation brings ancient Christian teaching into modern clarity, reminding us that angels never draw attention to themselves, but lead us always toward Christ.

In this conversation with Fr. Ivan Shandra, we explore how to discern what’s truly from God and what isn’t. We compare the Orthodox understanding of the Holy Spirit with the common charismatic approach, discussing prophecy, spiritual gifts, speaking in tongues, deliverance, and how to avoid spiritual deception.

In this episode, I react to Michael Knowles’ Halloween debate and share what was missing from the conversation: an Orthodox Christian perspective. We explore whether Christians can participate in Halloween, how Orthodoxy views the holiday, what dangers are real (and which are exaggerated), and how families can enjoy the season with discernment, joy, and spiritual clarity.

Kara Mosher once believed psychedelics were her path to peace and divine truth, but they only led her deeper into darkness and occult deception. In this Raised & Redeemed podcast episode, she shares how Jesus Christ broke through the illusion and led her home to the true Light of Orthodox Christianity.

If you’ve ever wondered what’s really happening during the Orthodox Divine Liturgy, this episode breaks it all down step by step. Joined by attorney and cradle Orthodox Christian Frank Bilotto, we explore the meaning, structure, and spiritual depth of this sacred service—where heaven meets earth and believers unite with Christ and one another through the Holy Eucharist.

In this episode of Raised & Redeemed, Michaela responds to viewers’ passionate comments about Halloween. Many Christians see the holiday as pure darkness—but Michaela, who’s been delivered from true darkness, offers a different perspective. She shares how discernment, intention, and boundaries can allow believers to bring Christ’s light even into spaces the world calls dark.
