There is a lot of talk about 'Re-Enchantment' today. Rod Dreher has written 'Living in Wonder' and many Christian podcasts bemoan the loss of enchantment in the modern world. Professor Jacob Phillips joins us to take a look at this concept, arguing that 'Re-Enchantment' may not be all it's cracked up to be! For Max Weber Judaism and then Christianity were accused of disenchanting the world by placing the spiritual under One God. In this sense enchantment is a return to pagan ideas, which we see all around us. Phillips argues that we have become too enchanted by everything around us, and that perhaps what we need is a little less of this, and a little more disenchantment.

Professor Jacob Phillips dives deep into his thought-provoking article, "When Enchantment Becomes a Snare: On Disenchantment and Guardian Angels." Explore how the rise of magic, the paranormal, and occult practices is filling the void left by a secular world abandoning Christian truths. From the dangers of naming your guardian angel to the true meaning of "disenchantment" in a faith-filled life, this discussion uncovers the spiritual snares lurking in modern re-enchantment trends. Perfect for Catholics, seekers, and anyone intrigued by the battle between faith and the occult!
