Demons, possession, exorcism, and the occult: these topics have intrigued and even terrified believers and skeptics alike. In this episode, through personal stories and theological insights, we examine the reality of demonic influences and the robust defenses our faith provides. From baptismal rites to practical experiences with occultic practices, we'll uncover how Scripture, hymns, prayer, and even physical symbols equip us in this spiritual battle.

The Rev. Jacob Heine, pastor of Faith Lutheran Church in Topeka, KS, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to discuss spiritual warfare.

Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God’s Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

Thy Strong Word is graciously underwritten by the Lutheran Heritage Foundation. Through the mission gifts of people like you, LHF translates, publishes, distributes and introduces books that are Bible-based, Christ-centered and Reformation-driven. Learn more at lhfmissions.org.
