Why did the demons beg Jesus to enter the pigs? Why did Jesus allow it? And what does this unusual moment in Mark 5 actually teach us about spiritual warfare, judgment, and the mission of Christ?

In this episode, Pastor Logan Merrick gives a clear, biblical, and theologically rich explanation of the demon-possessed man in Mark 5. We discuss:

• why demons seek physical bodies
• why the demons recognized Jesus as the Son of God
• what the presence of pigs reveals about Gentile territory
• how this event foreshadows the Gospel going to the nations
• why demons are powerful but not all-knowing
• the economic impact of the 2,000 pigs
• and how Jesus restores broken humanity

Whether you're a student of Scripture or curious about one of the strangest stories in the New Testament, this episode will help you understand the meaning and message behind the demons and the pigs—and why this passage still matters today.
