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.

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.

What does it mean to truly live liturgically as an Orthodox Christian? In this episode of the Raised & Redeemed Podcast, I sit down with Fr. Christian Siskos of Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral and the voice behind Noetic Spring to explore how prayer, fasting, the feasts, and the sacraments shape our daily lives. We also dive into how Orthodox Christians can navigate cultural challenges like Halloween, yoga, beauty standards, and modern media.
