Fr. Chad Ripperger: Too Close to Demons? | Ep 54
Fr. Chad Ripperger says demons can be named, studied, and compelled to speak. But what happens when the man fighting darkness begins learning from it?
Fr. Emmanuel Lemelson and Presbytera Theodora examine demonic names, hidden knowledge, Tucker Carlson’s demon-attack account, mental illness, and the Orthodox warning against fascination with evil.
This is not a horror story. It is a warning.
