In almost every episode of Men Among Demons, Greg and Dan end up agreeing that the most important thing for them to do next is to go to church. But why?

In this episode, they explore some aspects of church attendance in Christian life from the way it shapes us psychologically, to the significance of community in our encounters with the spirits (including demons), and finally to the spiritual-political dimensions of being citizens of God's Kingdom.

In this episode Dan and Greg discuss fads, the way ideas circulate among human beings, language, and what makes it all both divine and open to the demonic.

Greg, Dan, and our host, Joe, hold a live conversation on a wide range of topics including: the origins of Men Among Demons, their friendship, the intersection of religion and the public sector, growth in the Orthodox Church, and (of course) demons.

Dan and Greg kick off with a discussion of cults and high control groups, and then shift to begin thinking about the relationship between cult, cultus, and culture. In what ways is the Church different from what are often called "cults" today? In what ways does the Church attempt to build a culture and community while avoiding the pitfalls of high control groups? And what happens to groups or entire societies when they fall into demonic traps either on the side of too much cult and control, or on the side of having no real "culture" at all?

Dan and Greg discuss the concept of social justice especially with regard to modern homelessness, aiming to elucidate some more complete Christians responses in the face of extremely complex problems for which there is no simple solution.

Greg and Dan discuss angels. What are they? How do they interact with the world? What experiences do we have of them? What do they...look like? And much more.

Dan, Greg, and guest Nick P. discuss martial arts, the body, competition and games seeking out what role they might play in a Christian life and in society at large. A possible need for more attention to bodily exercise and training among Christians emerges, and the three tackle the question of whether competition is fundamentally fallen or truly has a place in a Christian life and in God's Kingdom.

Greg and Dan discuss the new pope, the institution of the papacy, and the costs and benefits of various church and community structures within the Christian world.
