“Light in the Darkness” - Episode 5 in the series, “Discerning the Spirits - Finding Christ’s Voice”

In this episode we focus more specifically on naming the ‘Powers of Darkness’ active in the present age, the ones St. Paul refers to in his letter to the Ephesians. How do we discern their voices; both speaking within our own souls and expressed in the events of the world taking place around us? How do we bring the light of understanding towards these powers of darkness? These powers are described in the Christmas liturgy of The Christian Community as having two distinct dynamics - beings of false light and beings who draw us into the senses’ unworthy craving. These signposts help us begin to distinguish the forces acting upon us that seek to rob us of our true humanity.
