Spiritual Warfare: Christians, Demonization and Deliverance with Dr. Karl Payne

How should Christians deal with demons, spiritual warfare, and the unseen realm? Is it possible evil spirits are the cause of your anxiety and depression? While some charismatics may go to the extreme and focus too much on demons, conservative Christians often avoid the topic altogether. But if Jesus and the Bible warns about demonic oppression and spiritual warfare, what can we as Christians do to recognize and combat it if and when it occurs in our personal lives?

In this week’s podcast episode, Frank sits down with Dr. Karl Payne, former chaplain for the Seattle Seahawks and Discipleship Pastor at Antioch Bible Church in Redmond, WA, to uncover the realities of spiritual warfare as detailed in his book, ‘Spiritual Warfare: Christians, Demonization, and Deliverance‘. During their conversation, they’ll tackle questions like:

How did a non-charismatic, ordained conservative Baptist minister ever begin working with demonized individuals and what was the life-changing encounter that led Dr. Payne to learn more about the process of deliverance?

What are the four primary causes of depression or mental anguish?

Can Christians be demon-possessed?

What three requirements are necessary for complete deliverance and healing?

How did Jesus and the Apostle Paul deal with spiritual warfare according to the Bible?

Does Hollywood do a good job of accurately depicting exorcisms?

Together, Frank and Karl will explore how spiritual battles and the role of demons impact both Christians and non-Christians, breaking down misconceptions about demon possession and how to help those who are being (perhaps unknowingly) tormented by evil. And don’t miss next week’s episode, where Frank and Karl will continue this eye-opening conversation about how to recognize and respond to spiritual attacks!
