Everyday Exorcist

What does it actually mean to fear God and why does Scripture call the fear of the Lord the beginning of wisdom?

In this episode, Grant and Kat explore one of the most important—and often misunderstood—realities of the Christian life: the fear of the Lord.

The fear of God is not the tormenting fear that drives us into anxiety, bondage, or hiding. It is a holy reverence and awe that comes from seeing God rightly: He is completely holy, completely good, worthy of our worship, deserving of our obedience, and unlike anyone or anything else. The fear of the Lord doesn't push us away from God—it draws us toward Him and teaches us how to live rightly before Him.

And here's the problem: we were created to fear God, but when our fear is placed anywhere else, it becomes misplaced fear. Fear of people, rejection, circumstances, the future, the enemy, or spiritual darkness will eventually become a source of bondage, pain, and suffering. But when the fear of the Lord takes its rightful place, every other fear begins to lose its power.

Grant and Kat unpack the biblical difference between holy fear and tormenting fear, share personal experiences of encountering God's holiness, and explore how the fear of the Lord impacts wisdom, spiritual authority, obedience, and even the way we approach healing and deliverance.

Using Proverbs 2:1–6 as a roadmap, they also walk through practical ways believers can actively seek, receive, and cultivate the fear of the Lord—through humility, treasuring God's Word, prayer, and intentionally seeking Him.

In this episode:

• The difference between the fear of the Lord and tormenting fear
• Why God's goodness and holiness must be understood together
• What happens when our fear becomes misplaced
• Why Jesus Himself delighted in the fear of the Lord
• How the fear of God produces wisdom, safety, and spiritual authority
• Proverbs 2:1–6 as a roadmap for receiving the fear of the Lord
• Practical ways to cultivate reverence and awe for God
• How the fear of the Lord changes the way we approach spiritual warfare and deliverance

The fear of the Lord draws us toward God, not away from Him. It is not something to avoid—it is a treasure to be sought after.

In this episode of Everyday Exorcist, Kat and Grant sit down with theologian Dr. Joel Muddamalle to tackle one deceptively simple question: What exactly are demons? Just as Kat and Grant work to make the mysterious topics of healing, deliverance, and the works of the Holy Spirit accessible and practical, Joel has a gift for taking complex biblical and theological ideas and making them clear. By breaking down Scripture, original words, historical context, and Second Temple literature, he helps uncover truths that are often hiding in plain sight.There are plenty of theories about the origin and nature of demons. But in this conversation, Joel walks through the biblical language and ancient context that he believes point toward a surprisingly simple answer.Joel is also the creator of Stranger Theology, a Substack and podcast exploring the strange, supernatural, and often glossed-over parts of the Bible - Balaam’s talking donkey, angels appearing in physical form, the Nephilim, talking serpents, spiritual beings, and more. The conversation even ventures into questions about aliens, Bigfoot, and how Christians should think about things that don't fit neatly into our modern categories. Because sometimes the Bible is stranger than we give it credit for—and our biblical worldview may be big enough to hold more mystery than we realize.If you’ve ever wondered what demons actually are, where they came from, or how the supernatural worldview of the biblical authors changes the way we understand spiritual warfare, this conversation will take you deeper while keeping you rooted in the truth of Scripture.

The whole world is swimming in a soup of broken identity, distorted love, and a desperate search for approval from all the wrong places. But the affirmation we’re longing for can ultimately only be found in God.In today’s episode of Everyday Exorcist, Grant and Kat unpack the powerful role of a father’s blessing in healing and deliverance. Before Jesus ever performed a miracle or launched into public ministry, the Father spoke these words over Him: “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” Jesus was blessed, loved, and affirmed by His Father before He did anything to earn it. For many people, those are the very words they never heard growing up. As believers, and especially as people ministering in healing, deliverance, and restoration, we have the opportunity to stand in the gap and speak the truth of God’s heart over others: You are a son. You are a daughter. You are loved. You are wanted. You are seen. Your Father delights in you. The blessing can be a powerful tool in the deliverance ministry toolbelt because it doesn’t simply speak life, it can help unhook the lies people believe about God and themselves because of wounds from their earthly parents. In this episode, Grant and Kat explore how speaking words of blessing and truth can open the door to deep healing, restore identity, and help people break free from lifelong patterns of feeling unworthy, unwanted, rejected, or unloved. Sometimes freedom isn’t only about casting something out. Sometimes it’s about finally receiving what was missing, and hearing the truth of who you are as a beloved son or daughter of God.

Do you find yourself retelling the same story of how you were wronged and wishing you could finally get justice, or even revenge? Do you see someone who hurt you in the grocery store and immediately turn the other way to avoid them? Do you carry around a laundry list of offenses, replaying what happened and imagining what you would say or do differently next time?The connection between forgiveness and walking in complete freedom is staggering.As part of our Top Six Demons series, Grant and Kat tackle one of the most common roots they encounter in prayer and deliverance ministry: unforgiveness. They break down the biblical foundation for forgiveness, why Jesus takes it so seriously, and how unresolved offense can keep us bound long after the original wound occurred.They unpack the signs that unforgiveness may still have a hold in your life - from rehearsing old offenses and avoiding certain people to bitterness, resentment, fantasies of revenge, and the constant need to see someone “pay” for what they did.But forgiveness doesn’t mean pretending it didn’t hurt. It doesn’t mean what happened was okay, and it doesn’t necessarily mean reconciliation or restored trust. Forgiveness is releasing the debt and surrendering your right to revenge into the hands of Jesus.In this episode, we talk about what forgiveness is and what it isn’t, why it is so essential to spiritual freedom, and practical steps you can take to forgive even when your emotions haven’t caught up yet.If you’ve ever thought, “I know I’m supposed to forgive them, but I don’t know how,” this episode is for you.

Can demonic strongholds be passed down through generations? Are there common spiritual roots connected to certain patterns of oppression? How do you pray for your children when you suspect something spiritual may be going on? And what do you do when you participate in a cultural ritual that suddenly feels a little more spiritual than you realized?In this call-in episode of Everyday Exorcist, Grant and Kat answer real questions from listeners about healing, deliverance, spiritual discernment, and the supernatural.They dig into generational patterns and demonic strongholds, praying for and ministering to children, the seer gifting, discerning the spiritual implications of cultural practices, and some of the common roots they look for when praying with people experiencing sickness or oppression.Along the way, Grant and Kat share practical examples from ministry and talk through how they approach these situations without relying on formulas - listening to the Holy Spirit, asking good questions, and following His lead.If you've ever wondered how generational issues can affect our lives, how to recognize potential roots of oppression, or how to navigate some of the stranger situations that come up in healing and deliverance ministry, this episode is for you.Grab your questions and join us for another Everyday Exorcist Call-In Show!

In today’s episode of Everyday Exorcist, Grant and Kat tackle the topic of curses. What exactly is a curse? How do you know if you’re living under one? Can Christians be cursed? And is it possible to be affected by a curse without even realizing it?

Sudden or unexplained sickness, financial calamity, recurring accidents, destructive family patterns, or a history of premature death can sometimes point to spiritual oppression connected to a curse. But the good news is: curses are not something Christians need to fear.

Grant and Kat walk through several types of curses - including word curses, white magic, black magic, witchcraft, and generational curses - and explain how they can gain influence in a person’s life.

Most importantly, they give you practical, biblical steps for breaking curses and walking in freedom. Through the authority of Jesus, you can renounce agreements, break the power of destructive words, remove spiritual oppression, and invite the life and blessing of God into places that have been held captive.

This empowering episode will help you recognize what may be operating beneath the surface, confront it without fear, and experience the freedom and healing Jesus has made available.

The gifts of the Holy Spirit were never meant to build our own platforms or make us into Christian superstars. They were given to strengthen, equip, and serve the Body of Christ. These gifts are meant to be shared, not kept for ourselves.

In 1 Corinthians 12:7–11, Paul reminds us that the manifestation of the Spirit is given "for the common good." But what does that actually look like in ministry? What's the difference between a word of knowledge and a word of wisdom? What is the gift of prophecy? Why does Paul mention different gifts of healing? And how can tongues and the interpretation of tongues be used to minister to someone during a healing or deliverance session?

In this episode, Grant and Kat unpack each of the gifts of the Spirit and explain how they work together in real-life healing and deliverance ministry. Through practical stories and ministry examples, they show how the Holy Spirit leads believers to minister with love, power, and wisdom as they flow in and out of these gifts.

If you've ever wanted to better understand the gifts of the Spirit or grow in using them effectively, this episode will equip and encourage you. The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Our prayer is that this conversation will strengthen your faith and empower you to minister to others with greater confidence and dependence on the Holy Spirit.

020 Doctrine of Demons (Part 1): The Lie of Karma

The statement “I’m getting what I deserve” often comes from a place of shame, condemnation, or a distorted view of God’s justice. It assumes that pain, failure, or hardship are forms of divine punishment - or that we can somehow earn blessing and favor through our own effort. At its core, this lie partners with a demonic doctrine often referred to as karma.

In this episode of Everyday Exorcist, Grant and Kat kick off a new series on the core lies believers often agree with - lies that can open doors to demonic attachment and oppression. They unpack the power of agreement, reminding us that whatever we agree with, we empower.

God’s goodness is far greater than we realize, and freedom begins when we change the way we think, repent of false beliefs, and break agreement with the lies that keep us bound.

This heartfelt conversation invites listeners to honestly ask: Am I partnering with the lie that I’m getting what I deserve? and to step into the full freedom and identity we have as sons and daughters of God.

In this episode, Grant and Kat talk about the Biblical model for healing today. Following the steps Jesus took in his ministry, they discuss the 5-step prayer model and unpack the importance and nuances of each step when you are praying for healing for those who are in need.
