  • My Favorite Podcast

    I have always been interested in spiritual warfare. This show does an excellent job conveying the unseen battle which Christ always wins if we allow Him to do the fighting for us, of course. The knowledge shared in these episodes has reinvigorated my faith as a Catholic, in particular. Keep doing the Lord’s work.

  • Every episode has been impactful!

    I have grown in my knowledge of the spiritual world. I was raised in a spirit filled non denominational church with my grandmother being catholic I had those roots as well. This show has brought me back to both of those roots and helped me to understand the spiritual world in a deeper way. My faith has deepened and my love for God has grown. My favorite episodes were the lent series. But love them all. Everything is done so well. Keep up the great work.

  • Great program

    This is a great program and it has brought me back to Confession and wanting to go to Mass more often. It makes me think. I love the teachings from Fr. Martins in addition to his case experience. I know how real this is and am so glad it is being discussed. Thank you so much!

  • Interesting

    I always learn something on this show. Father Martin seems to be a kind and concerned priest. I like Ryan’s humor it breaks up the heaviness of this topic. Ryan implied that we should only post 5 stars to avoid purgatory. So here goes.

    I am particularly interested in finding out how a person’s behavior led to demon possession. Father Martin claims that descendant’s sins can cause demon possession in present day ancestors. The only thing I would change is the demonic voices which are to numerou... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
The Jezebel Spirit, Tithing and Blessing, and The Power of Praying Parents
Q: How important are the eyes in a session and can you discern anything by looking into someone's eyes?
The eyes are a crucial window into the soul, and in sessions they can reveal whether a demon is present or disguising itself, guiding the flow of the exorcism.
The Jezebel Spirit, Tithing and Blessing, and The Power of Praying Parents
Q: What is the Jezebel Spirit—an actual demon or a pattern of behavior?
It's framed as a pattern of reprogramming rather than a clearly identifiable demon; it can involve multiple spirits and often presents as something attractive that draws one into destructive behavior.
Father Martins Reopens Our Most Unpopular Case: Predatory
Q: Why did you push Dylan so hard to cooperate, and was there a sense of spiritual consequences for not accepting help?
The approach was to shake him out of arrogance and illusion, making clear that cooperation with grace was essential; the goal was wakefulness, not punishment, to steer him toward repentance and spiritual accountability.
Father Martins Reopens Our Most Unpopular Case: Predatory
Q: What might explain how a demon can influence multiple people if they are not physically present in all of them at once?
Demons operate outside space and time; they can multiply themselves by occupying spaces and exerting influence through the doors of sin, allowing the same demon to affect different people in different places without being limited by physical distance.
