In this episode, Patrick and Jonah continue their exploration of Rudolf Steiner’s lecture What the Angels Do in Our Astral Body. They trace how the human being becomes a meeting point between higher and lower worlds, and how the angels are quietly weaving three impulses into our inner life: a deepening compassion for others, a growing recognition of the divine image in every human being, and the transformation of thinking into a living, spiritual organ.

The Hierarchies, Spiritual Science and the Bible - episode 9 in the series, Facing Evil

After weeks immersed in Revelation’s visions of dragons, beasts, and the woman clothed with the sun, Patrick and Jonah turn to another revelation—the angelic world. Drawing on Rudolf Steiner’s The Work of the Angels in Man’s Astral Body, they explore a living hierarchy of beings—angels, archangels, archai, and the Elohim—each shaping humanity’s unfolding in its own way. This conversation moves from Genesis’s image of God hovering over the waters to Steiner’s picture of a cosmos alive with hel...

Discernment and Devotion: Keys for Facing Evil - episode 8 in the series, Facing Evil

Discernment alone isn’t enough. The sword must find its counter-movement in worship. In this conversation, Patrick and Jonah explore Revelation 12’s great battle—Michael’s sword casting down the dragon, and the Lamb whose gentleness completes the victory. They linger on how clarity without reverence can harden into pride, and how only devotion to the Lamb protects the soul from the very forces it tries to understand. Through Vladimir Soloviev’s Tale of the Antichrist and C.S. Lewis’s Th...

Antichrist - Episode 7 in the series "Facing Evil"

As billionaire Peter Thiel takes his Antichrist lecture tour around the world, Patrick and Jonah return to Scripture to ask what John actually meant by “Antichrist.” Drawing from Revelation, the letters of John, and Vladimir Soloviev’s haunting story The Antichrist, they explore how this archetype appears whenever the self refuses to bow, refuses to be wounded, refuses to love through sacrifice. Against the world’s fascination with power and control stands the Lamb—wounded yet overflowing wit...

The Mortal Wound - Episode 6 in the series "Facing Evil"

Patrick and Jonah turn to Revelation 13 and the image of the beast from the sea—a being wounded unto death, yet healed. What kind of resurrection is that? Together they explore how domination, power, and self-preservation tempt the human self to “heal” without changing. In contrast, the Lamb bears a mortal wound that pours itself out for the life of the world. This episode asks: what does real transformation look like? How can a wound become the doorway to grace? And what does it mean to find...

The Christed Ego in a Flood of Egotism - Episode 5 in the series "Facing Evil"

As the flood from the dragon’s mouth pours across the world, Patrick and Jonah explore how the Book of Revelation describes the protection of those who remain faithful: the blood of the Lamb, the word of their testimony, and a love stronger than self-preservation. Together they reflect on what these mean for our time—the torrent of egotism, the culture of self, and the call to keep the heart open even amid the onslaught. Drawing on the imagery of Michaelmas and the woman’s eagle’s wings, they...

Michael, the Dragon, and the Hidden Self--Unveiling Our Spiritual Battle - Episode 4 in the series "Facing Evil"

What is God ripening in humanity? In this episode, Patrick and Jonah return to the harvest image and turn to Revelation 12: the woman clothed with the sun, the great red dragon, and Michael’s battle in heaven. They reflect on how the drama continues on earth with the woman’s offspring—those who keep God’s commandments and bear the testimony of Jesus—and what it means for each of us to live between the protection of heaven and the trials of the dragon’s rage.

The Dragon, the Beast, and the Harvest of God - Episode 3 in the series "Facing Evil"

What is God cultivating in humanity? Why does the field of the world hold both wheat and weeds, saints and beasts, until the end of time? In this episode, Patrick and Jonah explore the imagery of the harvest in Luke’s Gospel and the Book of Revelation. They reflect on the dragon and the beasts who rise against the offspring of the woman, and on the Lamb who ultimately conquers through sacrificial love. Along the way they ask: What name do we bear? What harvest is our life preparing? Support t...

Between Beasts and Angels - Episode 2 in the series "Facing Evil"

Between Beasts and Angels In this episode, Patrick and Jonah continue their new series on the mystery of evil, turning to Mark’s image of Christ in the wilderness—“with the wild beasts and the angels.” What does it mean for the human being to stand in this balance, and how might Christ reveal a way that is neither despair nor false light, but freedom and love?

Re-Post: Light in the Darkness —Episode 8 in the series, “Christian Shadow Work”

In this final conversation of the Christian Shadow Work series, Jonah and Patrick first pause to look back—gathering the threads of what has been opened in the earlier episodes. From there, the focus turns toward the heart of transformation in following Christ: the Eucharist. Here, in Christ’s life freely given—body and blood—we meet the highest image of what it means to be human: the overcoming of self-absorption, offered in love for the world. In His death and resurrection, the question of ...

Re-Post: Purity's Place in Shadow Work — Episode 7 in the series, “Christian Shadow Work”

Re-post: In the seventh episode of our series, Jonah and Patrick explore the new role of purity in shadow work, transformed through what took place on Golgotha, the place where Christ’s Mystery is revealed. With Christ’s death, resurrection and revelation, God is now with us in this world. The old pre-Christian paths of purification are no longer appropriate. Our shadows belong to us and call for integration. There is a new path to a new kind of purity that unlocks the power contained in the ...

Re-Post: Consecration as Shadow Work - Episode 6 in the series, “Christian Shadow Work”

When we speak of spiritual transformation, we often imagine a straightforward process that’s similar to the way we work with the world of things and objects around us: if something is broken or imperfect all we need to do is fix it. We remove, correct or even eliminate the problem on the way to the goal. In this next conversation, Patrick and Jonah recall how authentic Christ-centered transformation begins with a different orientation altogether. The key is not elimination at all but, instead...

Re-Post: Shadow as Preparation for Light — Episode 5 in the series, “Christian Shadow Work”

In this re-posted episode from our shadow series, Patrick and Jonah have an intimate and reflective conversation where they work to reclaim the true meaning of ‘repentance,’ or ‘metanoia’—a change of heart and mind that arises not through fear, but through the courage to face our shadows with compassion. They are inspired by the words that are spoken in the time of St. John from the altar in the renewed worship service: “The health bearing, guilt conscious” word that comes like a flame into o...

What if the shadow we cast isn't something to eliminate but part of the medicine for what ails the soul? In this conversation from our series, “Christian Shadow Work,” Patrick and Jonah further explore how Christ relates to our darkness. This involves nothing like condemnation but rather a creative and radical process of integration that leads towards healing. Drawing from the biblical image of the bronze serpent lifted up in the wilderness (Numbers 21:8-9), they reveal how the very thi...

Re-Post: The Transformative Power of Shadow Work — Episode 3 in the Series, “Christian Shadow Work”

In this third installment from our “Christian Shadow Work” series, the conversation reveals a striking contradiction between Christian history—famous for its condemning practices—and Christ's actual relationship with human darkness. Rather than simply erasing or punishing sin, Christ demonstrates a radical integration of human brokenness into the transformative process. Like an alchemist turning lead into gold, Christ shows us how our darknesses can become the very substance of our spiritual ...

Re-Post: Shadows, Light, and the Path to Non-Condemnation — Christian Shadow Work, Episode 2 (2023)

In this episode’s exploration of shadow work in Christianity, Patrick and Jonah venture into territory many ”on the way” find challenging: how to face our flaws, weaknesses, and darkness without falling into either denial or self-condemnation. The conversation begins with a vital distinction between healthy shadow work that leads to authentic humility and the unhealthy wallowing in self-criticism that can become its own form of spiritual ego. Drawing on personal experiences, biblical wisdom f...
