| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Jeff Kaven show where we talk about the Bible, discipleship and |
| 0:05.3 | evangelization, putting it all together and living as activated disciples. |
| 0:11.9 | This is show 334, the demonic realm with Father John Vanderplugue. |
| 0:22.3 | Welcome again to the show this week. No doubt you came back to hear the other |
| 0:28.5 | side of the coin here. Last week we had an opportunity to talk with Father John |
| 0:33.5 | Vanderplugue, who's the director of formation at the St. Paul seminary in St. Paul |
| 0:37.9 | and Minneapolis. That's the twin cities. And I know that that topic of angels is |

| 1:32.4 | mess with, but then again, it's not something to be afraid of either, but you definitely |
| 1:37.7 | need guidance in this area. And so Father John Vanderplugue really is, I believe, an |
| 1:45.7 | expert in this area. And so he's going to share some points with us. And the thing I |
| 1:51.1 | enjoy about Father John Vanderplugue so much is that this is not a putting on a show. |
| 1:57.1 | This is not, you know, airing the activity of the enemies so that, you know, people become |
| 2:04.3 | fascinated with similar to a horror show. And we'll talk about that as well. But he is |
