In this episode of the Three or More Podcast, Mauricio sits down again with Lars and Trisha to pick up where they left off on demonic oppression vs. possession—but this time through the lens of marriage, mental health, and deliverance.

Trisha shares in detail how a crippling season of anxiety, panic, and mental breakdown wouldn’t lift, even after counseling, doctors’ visits, exercise, hormone work, and “doing all the right things” in the natural. It wasn’t until a visiting pastor helped them recognize the spiritual root of the battle that everything began to shift.

From there, Lars and Trisha walk through:

• How they discerned this wasn’t “just mental health” but spiritual oppression

• The moment a pastor said, “You’re fighting in the flesh… this is a spiritual battle”

• What it looked like to strengthen the spiritual man through fasting, prayer, and surrender

• How Trisha’s hidden shame, past immorality, and undealt-with trauma opened doors to the enemy

• Why confession, honesty in marriage, and testimony became the key to breakthrough

• How Lars’ dreams, spiritual discernment, and compassion as a husband played a crucial role

• The difference between oppression (external pressure) and possession (internal control)

• How their children were affected—and how generational cycles can stop with you

Trisha also shares vulnerably about:

• Growing up without a protective father and enduring a wild, destructive season as a teenager

• The moment God cleansed her and covered her with the blood of Jesus—but how shame and secrecy still lingered for years

• The breaking point that led to a mental hospital stay, and how God met her there

• Coming clean with Lars after years of hiding parts of her story—and the instant weight that lifted when she finally walked in the light

Lars adds a powerful teaching side:

• How the enemy waits for “opportune times” to cash in on undealt-with sin and iniquity

• Why God sometimes allows affliction as a form of loving chastening and pruning

• How fasting exposed a hidden heart issue in his own life—and how God healed him when he chose to worship Jesus regardless of the outcome

• Why generational iniquity, unbroken covenants, and spiritual legal ground matter more than we think

If you’ve wrestled with:

• Anxiety, panic, or “unexplainable” oppression that won’t break

• Confusion over what’s mental health and what’s spiritual warfare

• Hidden shame, secrets in marriage, or fear of being truly known

• Generational patterns and strongholds you don’t want your kids to inherit

…this conversation will minister deeply to you.

Key Themes:

• Demonic oppression vs. possession in real life

• Spiritual roots of “natural” problems

• Marriage, unity, and transparency as spiritual warfare

• Generational curses, covenants, and breaking cycles

• The power of testimony: “They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony” (Revelation 12).
