Normally on these episodes I start by introducing a Bible passage that’s bizarre, perplexing, or just plain weird. But we are reaching a milestone of 100 episodes, and I thought I would just take a step back this time and tell you the story of why I’m such a weirdo.

Why I like digging into the weird stuff in the Bible.

Why I think the weird stuff in the Bible matters.

And it all starts with a crazy experience I had in college when my friend got possessed by a demon and it started speaking to me.

Because from then on, my life was never the same. My Christian walk was never the same. And I probably wouldn’t be doing this podcast right now if it wasn’t for the story that I’m going to share today.

And just a warning in case you’ve got any kids around, and also in case the episode title didn’t clue you in, the story is a little dark and scary. Like, it literally happens on Friday the 13th. But if you think you can handle it, grab some popcorn and let’s get weird.
