Can Christians experience demonic oppression? How do you discern the voice of the Holy Spirit from your own thoughts... or from spiritual deception? And what does the Bible actually teach about spiritual warfare?

In this episode of No Longer Nomads, Josh Doyle sits down with Dr. Karl Payne, a pastor, author, and teacher who has spent more than 40 years ministering to people struggling with spiritual oppression. Drawing from decades of biblical study and real-life ministry, Dr. Payne shares why he believes many Christians misunderstand spiritual warfare—and how subtle deception often targets the mind long before anyone realizes what's happening.

Together they explore difficult but important questions:

• Can a Christian be demonized?

• How do you recognize deceptive thoughts?

• What are "strongholds" according to Scripture?

• Can occult involvement, habitual sin, or generational patterns open doors?

• How should followers of Jesus respond without living in fear?

Rather than sensationalizing the topic, this conversation continually points back to the authority of Scripture, the finished work of Christ, and the hope believers have in Jesus.

Whether you're skeptical, curious, or have personally wrestled with spiritual attacks, this episode will challenge you to think biblically and encourage you to stand confidently in the victory Christ has already won.

What if the spiritual world is far more real than most of us realize?

While traveling through Egypt, Erik Ouimette witnessed stories that challenge everything many Western Christians believe about spiritual warfare, miracles, and the power of Jesus. From a woman who woke up with mysterious snake bite wounds after terrifying nightly attacks, to villages where the gospel is transforming lives in the middle of centuries of darkness, these are firsthand accounts that are difficult to forget.

But this conversation isn't just about the supernatural.

It's about ordinary believers risking everything to follow Christ. It's about poor churches sacrificing to free families trapped in generational slavery. It's about an 82-year-old Muslim man who finally found Jesus after decades of rejecting the gospel. And it's about what the global Church can teach us about faith, courage, and trusting God in impossible circumstances.

If you've ever wondered whether miracles still happen, how Christians live in some of the darkest places on earth, or what spiritual warfare actually looks like, this episode will both challenge and encourage your faith.

They removed an alien implant from a man who had been abducted at age five — it had been in his body for 40 years, and what happened in that operating room is unlike anything you've heard on this show.

Government hearings. Alleged crash retrievals. Non-human biologics. Ancient giants. Genesis 6. The days of Noah. In one of the most thought-provoking conversations we've ever had on No Longer Nomads, L.A. Marzulli joins Josh Doyle to explore the intersection of biblical prophecy, the supernatural, and the modern UFO phenomenon.

For more than 30 years, Marzulli has researched alleged alien encounters, abduction reports, the Nephilim, ancient archaeology, and the biblical worldview surrounding the paranormal. Whether you agree or disagree, this conversation challenges listeners to examine Scripture, question popular narratives, and wrestle with one of the most controversial topics facing the Church today.

Together, they discuss:

• Are UFOs/UAPs real?

• Is modern disclosure preparing the world for something bigger?

• What did Jesus mean when He said it would be "like the days of Noah"?

• Are the Nephilim connected to today's supernatural claims?

• Could aliens actually be interdimensional beings?

• How should Christians think about Roswell, government disclosure, and spiritual deception?

• What role does Genesis 6 play in understanding the end times?

• How should believers respond without fear—but with discernment?

Whether you're deeply interested in biblical prophecy, fascinated by the UFO phenomenon, or simply trying to understand how faith intersects with today's headlines, this episode will leave you with questions you'll be thinking about long after it ends.
