  • Top quality podcast!

    By far the best podcast I’ve listened to on this subject; in substance and production quality. The bar has been set high with this one! From the 3d sound effects to the background information on why people get demonic problems to begin with.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Subtle Attack Of The Enemy Most Christians Miss (Ft. Fr. Carlos Martins & Dan Burke)
Q: How does deliverance ministry work in practice beyond ritual actions?
It starts with addressing the wounds, listening to the person, and discernment in a team setting; praying, renouncing occult ties, and guiding the person to anchor their life in Christ before any exorcism ritual is performed.
The Subtle Attack Of The Enemy Most Christians Miss (Ft. Fr. Carlos Martins & Dan Burke)
Q: What is the false peace that the episode warns about, and how can listeners tell it's not from God?
False peace is a distraction that feels good but leads away from holiness and obedience to Scripture; it often accompanies grave sin or apparent pleasures, and must be tested against the teachings of the Church and the fruits of the Spirit.
Supernatural Healing and Deliverance with Dr. Sam Storms
Q: Can a born-again Christian be demonized, and how should believers think about that?
Yes, it can be possible; the New Testament isn't explicit, but experiential evidence and certain passages suggest it's possible, though not common, and believers should rely on Scripture and community discernment.
Supernatural Healing and Deliverance with Dr. Sam Storms
Q: What was your first real encounter with spiritual warfare like?
A dramatic experience at a church conference where a woman appeared to be performing demonic rituals, which produced a tangible wave of darkness and fear, followed by a long church-led deliverance that proved pivotal in his ministry.
The Jezebel Spirit, Tithing and Blessing, and The Power of Praying Parents
Q: What should praying parents do for their children's protection against evil?
Pray for your children by name, bless them daily, and involve them in good spiritual experiences like volunteering, visiting monasteries, and participating in church life to form a holy atmosphere at home.
