BONUS: The Unseen Realm of Angels // Melissa Spoelstra

October 29, 2025

"The more we learn about angels, the more we learn about God, and the more we can root our faith in him."

— Melissa Spoelstra

Today's Episode: Today Natalie is chatting with Melissa Spoelstra about the unseen spiritual realm, specifically angels. They talk about our tendency to either underemphasize or overemphasize angels—pointing out that a good theology of angels comes from a healthy study of them. They discuss how our theology of angels helps us rightly understand the role of angels and our own place as fellow creatures, worshipers, and messengers of God in the world. This episode will not only grow your understanding of the spiritual realm but awaken your awe for our amazing God who created all things, including angels.

This month's memory verse: "For we live by faith, not by sight." — 2 Corinthians 5:7
