Occult Madness: Psychological & Spiritual Healing with Ft. Turbo Qualls

from Let's be friends · host Kara Mosher

Welcome back to the Let's Be Friends podcast!  With us today is guest Father Turbo Qualls.The allure of the occult has fascinated humankind for centuries, promising secret knowledge, power and healing. However, practicing the occult and New Age can lead to major psychological distress and spiritual turmoil. Join Father Turbo and me in a deep conversation about psychological/spiritual healing from an Orthodox perspective.Father Turbo is an Orthodox priest and the rector at St. Mary of Egypt Orthodox Church in Kansas City, Missouri. He is a host of the Royal Path Podcast, an iconographer, and spiritual director for both the Convent of the Mother of God Seeker of the Lost, which is an urban monastic community, and the Mount Tabor School of Liberal Arts, which provides classical education that is rooted in Orthodox tradition. In our conversation Father Turbo and I also discuss how Gnosticism not only found its way into popular culture but also into the Protestant church and why we believe the Orthodox church is the only path that leads to full healing—the narrow path that Jesus Christ laid out. Father Turbo also dispels the Millennial Kingdom Heresy, also known as Chiliasm. We discuss the Christian/Antichrist Hegelian dialectic, the dangers of the rabbit hole, mind programming and occultists, why trusting the plan is a trap, and why we need to die to this world instead of hoping for a solution to fiscal problems that will never come.Watch this interview on Youtube!Find Father Turbo Qualls:InstagramYoutubeSt. Mary of Egypt Orthodox ChurchSynaxis of SophiaWant more?
