  • Trusted & Biblically sound

    I am very grateful for the podcast Stranger Encounters. It is very informative regarding spiritual warfare we face in the world, church , government and just everyday life , especially this day and age . Rick Burgess does an excellent job and uses scripture as a reference to give weight and theological understanding to the evils we face in this fallen world we live in .

  • No good

    I literally feel dumber after hearing this. Particularly the 6 7 and Freemason episodes. The 6 7 episode was just hopping on the latest trend and wagging your finger at the kids. While the freemasonry one just seemed completely uninformed. Stick to other podcasts.

  • A show about demons, but ignores their origin

    Rick has proven that being stuck in the Bible belt and living amongst cultural Christians has had an effect on his capability to dig deeper into the Scripture on this topic. He claims to know about demons here, but then advises people to avoid the Book of Enoch that plainly lays out the origins of demons (the disembodied spirits of the Nephilim), and in the same breath entertains conspiracy theories about the free masons and illuminati. Come on Rick, you're smarter than that.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 50 | The Devil Leads to Death | Strange Encounters with Rick Burgess
Q: Do you believe in God?
Yes, I do now, after the Ibogaine experiences and conversations, I've come to believe in God and in Jesus, and I describe a journey of faith through the discussion with Clint Emerson.
Ep 46 | Who Is The Antichrist? | Strange Encounters with Rick Burgess
Q: Why would God allow Satan access to heaven, and how should we understand that access today?
The host explains that Satan's access serves to account for his actions and that God maintains boundaries, using the Job narrative and Paul's thorn in the flesh as examples of divine sovereignty and refinement that humbles believers; access is not freedom to do anything, but limited by God's sovereign will.
Ep 30 | Are Narcissists Possessed? | Strange Encounters with Rick Burgess
Q: How do you know when a person displaying these behaviors is truly oppressed or possessed by demonic spirits?
It's important to recognize that not all narcissistic behavior is caused by demons; some may require psychological help. However, narcissists may open themselves up to demonic influence due to their traits.
Ep 26 | Demonic & Masonic: The Dark Secrets of Washington, DC | Strange Encounters with Rick Burgess
Q: What do we need to do as a country to combat the obvious road that we're on?
We need to end the influence of demonic beings and live by the Word of God, removing portals and returning to God.
Ep 19 | The Christian's Guide to Halloween | Strange Encounters with Rick Burgess
Q: How do you feel about the use of incense during prayer?
Incense was used in the Bible to symbolize prayers, and if used with proper intention toward God, it can be appropriate, but caution should be taken with its pagan associations.
