  • 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.

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.
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.
