  • Enjoying Until…

    Great podcast, until Father Martins started ranting about “abortion mills” between seasons 1 and 2. What an insincere and disrespectful way to discuss the issue of abortion. Shows he’s more concerned with rhetoric than actually helping solve anything concerning abortion.

  • One of my favorites BUT…

    I absolutely adore and look forward to the thought provoking interviews and topic driven chats between Ryan and Fr. Martins as well Fr. Martins’ beautiful meditations. This podcast alone has dispelled many of the misconceptions I held of the Catholic faith as well as led me to reexamine my own Lutheran upbringing and, frankly, my entire relationship with God. That said, the exorcism case re-enactment episodes I can do without. I realize this is “The Exorcist Files” and many clearly enjoy these... more

  • Jamie Winship Episode

    This is my first time listening to this podcast. I really enjoyed it until the guest spoke about a palestinian visting a school in Texas(where I live) and was disappointed his “country “ wasn’t on the classroom map. PALESTINE DOESN’T EXIST.

    Very disappointing considering how much I enjoyed most of the program.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Father Martins Flips The Script and Interviews Ryan
Q: Ryan, how did this collaboration begin, and what drew you to produce a show on miracles and spiritual warfare?
Ryan explains that he sought a connection with Father Martins while in Rome and was referred for producing a show on miracles and spiritual warfare; despite a rocky start, they aligned on the mission to bless people, catechize, and encourage around serious topics.
Father Martins Reopens The Yoga Case
Q: How do confession and sacramental grace affect an exorcism compared to just removing symptoms through prayer?
Confession grants grace—the life of God—and can accelerate or empower exorcism more than ritual prayers alone, because grace strengthens the church's action against occult rights and helps address the deeper roots of possession.
Fr. Carlos Martins on Relics, Holy Curses, and How God Actually Speaks
Q: What makes a good exorcist, in terms of qualifications and temperament?
A good exorcist is comfortable in the fight, neither arrogant nor timid, and adept at reading signs and symbols, with an ability to interpret patterns and apply a careful, measured approach to confront spiritual manifestations.
The Greatest Lie Is That Something’s Wrong With You | Jamie Winship on The Exorcist Files
Q: How can listeners begin to hear the Holy Spirit in their everyday work and vocations?
Start with 'think time'—a disciplined habit of quiet listening before decisions. Identify what you sense God inviting you into, test it with discernment, and document what you hear, then move gradually in faithfulness rather than rushing ahead.
The Mason's Oath with Fr. Martins
Q: What happens in the first level of Masonic oath and what are the implications for descendants if vows are broken?
The first oath ties the member to a covenant where breaking it could bring a curse upon the individual and their ancestry, effectively binding future generations through symbolism and contract-like terms.
