Michael and Bailey have an in-depth discussion about the reality of demons, angels, and the unseen spiritual realm. They talk about why these topics are often avoided in mainstream culture and challenge common materialistic worldviews. Looking at biblical examples, they examine different ways Christians can unknowingly open themselves up to demonic influence, such as through music, media consumption, yoga, acting, and drug use. The hosts also explore occult practices, "new age" beliefs, deliverance ministry, spiritual deception, and the authority believers have in Christ. They emphasize resting in Jesus' power and wisdom from Scripture when confronting supernatural forces.Download the
