Summary

In this episode, we welcome Michael Leehan to the studio. He was a practicing Satanist for 20 years before he put his faith in Christ, and he’s the author of the book “Ascent From Darkness: How Satan’s Soldier Became God’s Warrior”. In this interview, we discuss the abuse he suffered as a child, when he decided that God was both Good and Bad, what got him interested in Satanism, when a demon/entity led him to buy his first Satanic Bible, the difference between LaVeyan and Theistic Satanism, the powers he gained while serving Satan, when he decided to give his full life to Satan, when he was caught trying to kill Craig Groeschel, the rituals and sacrifices that he practiced, his radical encounter with God, the process of him coming to faith in Christ, how Satan uses “mental illness” to his advantage,  and much more. Let’s get into it… Episode notes and links HERE. Donate to support our mission of equipping men to push back darkness. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
