We know “we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” (Ephesians 6:12). My guest in this episode is Dr. Jeff Foster, who shares his journey from a Christian upbringing to involvement in the occult. Jeff discusses the spiritual battle faced by students and the dangers of the occult, including his personal experiences with a dragon-like entity that offered him power in exchange for his heart. The conversation explores themes of personal trauma, the nature of magic, and the recruitment tactics used by those involved in the occult. Jeff shares his journey through power struggles, community dynamics, and the quest for identity, as well as the internal conflict of living a double life during his college years. The discussion delves into the complexities of understanding scripture and the transformative power of Jesus, culminating in a turning point where Jeff seeks redemption and a new heart. In this conversation, Jeff shares his profound journey of transformation through faith, emphasizing the power of forgiveness and the immediate changes he experienced after coming to Christ. He discusses the importance of discernment in spiritual warfare, highlighting the subtle influences of demonic forces and the necessity of testing ideas against Scripture. Jeff also reflects on the reality of spiritual warfare, the battles faced in the mind, and the significance of surrounding oneself with supportive and faithful individuals. Resources mentioned: C.S.
