Summary
Ryan Bethea, producer, writer, and host of the hit podcast The Exorcist Files, joins me for a fascinating conversation about the supernatural—and what he’s learned after years of studying real-life exorcisms.
As a Protestant, how does he feel about keeping the relic of St. Jude’s arm in his kitchen? Is God still working miracles today, or were those only for the early Church? What does unforgiveness have to do with cases of demonic possession?
This episode will challenge you to be more open to hearing God’s voice—and to consider how spiritual warfare might be closer than we think.
Plus, Ryan shares behind-the-scenes stories from The Exorcist Files and how the series has shaken, strengthened, and stretched the faith of so many.
