- Why Jesus Said, "You Must Be Perfect" | The Mostly Ignored Call to Holiness
Send us Fan Mail
What if grace allows us to release the pressure of perfection? Yet, why did Jesus tell us to be perfect as He is? This question prompts us to explore the connection between grace and our pursuit of holiness. Are these two concepts opposed to one another? We will find the all too often missing power of the Gospel in the answers to the questions.

...28 min - Did Jesus Question Demons? The Truth About Jesus' Deliverance Ministry
Send us Fan Mail
In deliverance ministry, one of the most debated questions is this: Should demons be silenced immediately, or should they be confronted and questioned?
Some Christians insist that demons should never be spoken to—only commanded to leave. Others believe that identifying legal rights, entry points, and agreements is essential for lasting freedom. Both sides often appeal to the example of Jesus.
But what does Scripture actually show us?
In this episode, we take a careful, biblical look at Jesus’ deliverance ministry—what He did, what He asked, what He revealed, and what He didn’t explain. We examine key passages where Jesus speaks directly to demons, names them, and confronts them in what looks like a process of deliverance, instead of immediate results with one command.
This conversation explores:
Whether Jesus ever questioned demons—and why.
The difference between interrogation and conversation in deliverance.
What Scripture clearly teaches—and the questions it does not answer and why.
Why confronting darkness can expose legal ground that silence does not.
The danger of oversimplified beliefs.

...14 min - Why Christians Avoid Demons—and Why That Weakens the Church
Send us Fan Mail
Many Christians speak about “exposing darkness,” yet hesitate when it comes to dealing with demons. Some warn against seeing demons everywhere, while others avoid the subject altogether—preferring to ignore their reality.
In this episode, we challenge both extremes. Scripture makes clear that demonic forces are real, active, and responsible for more than many believers are willing to acknowledge. When we normalize the biblical reality of demons—without fear or obsession—we become far more effective at resisting and defeating them through the authority of Jesus.
This conversation calls the Church to maturity, discernment, and clarity in spiritual warfare.

Send us Fan Mail
The Sword of the Spirit is the sharpest weapon in the Cosmos, but the blood of Christ sharpens that sword. From the beginning, the Church celebrated the blood of Jesus as the centerpiece of our worship. Why are the blood and the blade so precious and powerful?

...30 min - How The Occult Brought Me To Jesus
Send us Fan Mail
After selling him into slavery, Joseph's brothers were shocked to find him as a head ruler in Egypt and their savior from starvation. Joseph declared. "As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to keep many people alive." Genesis 50:20. There is a scary explosion of new occult activity in America but simultaneously a fresh Christian revival as the reality of the war between good and evil comes to a head. God is using the occult to bring people to Himself.

...35 min - Seducing Occult Practice: Muscle Testing
Send us Fan Mail
Is "Muscle Testing" a legitimate medical practice, or do the practitioners of muscle testing lean into the occult for their healing powers? Occult activity is a demon's most obvious door to access a person. But Occult activity is not always obvious. Many innocent, well-meaning Christians have engaged in occult activity without intending to. The Bible says that Satan comes "as an angel of light" (2 Corinthians 11:14). How can we be certain that "Muscle Testing" or other alternative practices are spiritually safe?

...20 min - Why We Punish Ourselves — Even After the Cross
Send us Fan Mail
Both Christians and non-Christians often live under an unspoken burden—the sin of self-punishment.
It doesn’t always look like rebellion. Sometimes it looks like humility. Other times, it feels like responsibility, discipline, or “paying the price.” But beneath it all is a quiet refusal to fully trust the finished work of Christ.
In this episode, we explore how self-punishment becomes a spiritual obstacle that keeps us from walking freely into the Kingdom of God. For Christians especially, this struggle can stall discipleship—not because we reject the Gospel, but because the truth of it has not yet reached the deepest places of our souls.
The Gospel is not just something to believe intellectually. It is something that must re-form our inner world, dismantling shame, false repentance, and the need to atone for ourselves.
This conversation is an invitation to let grace go deeper—to stop punishing yourself for sins Jesus already bore, and to finally live as someone who is truly forgiven.

...25 min - Signs of a Returning Christian Nation
Send us Fan Mail
Massive shifts took place in our country immediately following the re-election of Donald Trump, even before his inauguration. While I don't believe Mr. Trump is a Christian, I believe God's hand is on his life, and God has heard the cries of His people and showed us mercy in Trump's re-election. Why does this election matter to the Christian mission? Because hundreds of thousands of women and children are going to be rescued from slavery as a result of this dramatic shift in our government. Don't miss the radical importance of what took place and is taking place in our nation right now.

About The Faith of the Father(s) w/ Karl Gessler
From the publisher's feed
The Faith of the Father (s) is a podcast devoted to proclaiming and demonstrating the reality of Jesus Christ—risen from the dead and actively at work today, healing the sick and casting out…
demons just as He did in the Scriptures.
Rooted in the careful study of the Bible and the witness of the Church throughout history, this podcast seeks to learn from the faith of the fathers—from the earliest believers to faithful witnesses in the present day. We hold that the ministry of Jesus did not end in the Gospels, but continues through men and women indwelt by the Holy Spirit and obedient to His voice.
Hosted by Karl Gessler, The Faith of the Fathers features candid conversations with those who have walked out of deep trauma, abuse, and bondage and have found real healing in Jesus. It also includes interviews with believers who have witnessed and participated in profound works of God—miracles of healing, deliverance, salvation, and even the raising of the dead—through courageous and faithful obedience to Christ.
At its core, this podcast affirms a simple conviction: God intends to govern the world through human beings filled with His Spirit, living in truth, authority, and love. By returning to Scripture and the lived faith of the Church, The Faith of the Fathers invites listeners to know Jesus not as a distant figure of the past, but as the living Lord who continues His work today.
