When was the last time you had a Sunday School lesson about demons?

Probably never. Which is a little strange, because once you start looking, demons and evil spirits show up all over the New Testament. Jesus casts them out. He gives the Apostles authority to cast them out. The Seventy come home excited that demons obey them. Paul encounters them. And when the Church is restored in 1830, Joseph Smith describes casting an evil spirit out of Newel Knight as “the first miracle which was done in the Church.”

So… why don’t we ever talk about this?

In this episode of Faithful Misfit, we open the New Testament demon case files, meet Legion, revisit one of the strangest beatdowns in the book of Acts, and dig into eerie accounts from early Church history.

But underneath all the weirdness is a surprisingly hopeful message.

Maybe these stories aren't really trying to convince us how powerful darkness is.

Maybe they're trying to show us how powerful Jesus is.

Because whenever everyone else backs away from the broken, frightening, strange, or forgotten person—Jesus has a habit of walking straight toward them.

It's weird. It's scriptural. It's uncomfortable. Its perfect for out podcast.
