C.S. Lewis envisioned a world where demons actively teach one another how to efficiently ruin human lives. In this episode, we explore Lewis’ classic work, The Screwtape Letters, offering a fascinating look into spiritual warfare. We also ask Jamin if he’s encountered anything similar to what Lewis describes during his exorcisms. His answer may surprise you.

Jamin Bradley tells a little bit of the story of how he got into exorcism and why he started The Exorcist's Bestiary.

To be clear: experiencing trauma does not mean you’re dealing with demons. However, because trauma is often surrounded by deep darkness, it can become a battleground for spiritual warfare. The enemy loves to exploit our darkest moments to distort our identity and diminish our self-worth. In this episode, we carefully explore our personal encounters with trauma (in a way that aims not to be triggering), share how we’ve found healing, and discuss how we’ve witnessed the Holy Spirit’s work in exorcism cases connected to trauma. We also tackle the tough question, ‘Where was God in my trauma?’ by recounting a profound spiritual experience from one of our sessions. Jamin, Amity, and Tasha are joined by their friend Jaimie and special guest Aimee, who is a trauma recovery coach. (Note: In the second half of this episode, an uninvited cricket makes a rather noisy appearance. The audio may shift slightly as we tried to keep him at bay.)

There are three sources of dreams: ourselves, the Holy Spirit, and evil spirits. Some people report waking from nightmares only to find themselves trapped in sleep paralysis. In this episode, our exorcist team shares their experiences with these challenges and how they’ve found victory over them.

In this episode of The Exorcist’s Bestiary, we explore the complex relationship between science and spirituality. While our show often dives deep into the supernatural, we recognize the importance of grounding our conversations in the reality of both science and spirituality. Join us as we discuss how these two worlds can overlap and how the supernatural is generally always made known to us through science. This episode highlights the value of both the natural and supernatural, without diminishing either.

Just as your spirit experiences things through your body's senses, so the Holy Spirit or evil spirits might make themselves known to you during an exorcism through your body's senses. In this episode, Jamin, Amity, and Tasha talk about times they've encountered something spiritual during an exorcism via sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, and more.

Repentance has a different meaning in the Old and New Testaments, but both definitions are compatible with each other. In this episode, Jamin, Amity, and Tasha discuss what real repentance is and why it is one of the most crucial components of exorcism ministry. If the participant is unwilling to repent, then the exorcist will not be able to remove their demons. Learn more on this episode of The Exorcist's Bestiary!
