Hello and welcome to strange encounters.

I'm your host Rick Burgess.

I'm host of the Rick Burgess Show.

That is a daily five-hour show that you can get anywhere.

If you'd like to know more about that, go to Rick Burgess Show.com.

I'm also director of themanchurch.com. We are a men's discipleship strategy.

If we could help you in reaching and discipling the men in your church or your community,

or we can help just men in general. We have multiple resources, and you can find those at the manchurch.com.

Our strategy is high challenge in the form of events and gatherings, followed by high

equipping in the form of curriculum and individual devotionals and resources.

Also, my wife Sherry and I have Burgess Ministries where she does women's ministry.

And I also enjoy going out with her and doing marriage events.

We have those happening all the time.

You can find one near you at Burgess Ministries.com.

So this particular podcast is designed to talk about spiritual warfare.

Sometimes we have an unhealthy obsession with the supernatural.

There's certainly nothing wrong with being aware of it.

You have to be careful to obsess over it.

So really we're looking for that balance that, yes, the supernatural realm is real.

Now, we're coming from a biblical viewpoint.

We're talking about angels, demons, God himself.

But what we are not talking about are monsters, ghost, Bigfoot, space aliens.
