Strange Encounters is a podcast that focuses on spiritual warfare. This is something

that scripture is very clear about and talks about quite a bit. Our concern has been,

and hopefully we can help resolve that, is that in the local church, especially in the Western Church, there isn't a lot of

discussion about spiritual warfare. There's some, but what we want to do is devote our time

into spiritual warfare, what Scripture has to say about it. This explains a lot of the supernatural

things that go on. The

supernatural is real. We just believe it is mainly angels and demons and what Scripture talks about.

So the battle is there, and we enter into it every single day. The question is, are we prepared

to fight it? We do this in a number of ways,

but we also want to include and have included on other episodes, if you want to go back and

catch those, if this is your first time with us. We hear from people with their own strange

encounters. They tell us firsthand what they have experienced.

And we'll start this episode by visiting with Ethan Brogden.

Ethan, welcome to strange encounters.

How are you today?

I'm great.
