Can you cast out a demon from yourself? In this episode of The Exorcist’s Bestiary, we dive into the topic of self-deliverance. Sharing real-life stories, we explore moments when it worked, when it didn’t, and when things took an unexpected turn. Whether you’re curious about the risks, the successes, or the lessons learned, this discussion offers biblical insight and practical wisdom for navigating self-exorcism. Tune in for a thoughtful look at a controversial and intriguing question!

Anger is often misunderstood, especially in the realm of spiritual counseling. In this episode, we explore the difference between healthy and unhealthy anger, guiding people to wield this powerful emotion in a Christ-like way. Some individuals have been taught to suppress their anger in the name of forgiveness, but they need to learn how to embrace righteous anger to confront personal or communal injustice and harm. Others may be consumed by constant anger, requiring guidance to let go and find peace. Join us as we discuss how to develop a balanced perspective on anger, one that reflects Jesus’ example and empowers us to stand against evil while maintaining compassion and grace.

People often find demons frightening—and demons know it. It doesn’t help that many Christians aren’t well-informed about evil spirits or the spiritual realm. This lack of knowledge allows fear and superstition to spread. We hear things like, “I heard so-and-so got a demon from doing this,” or, “You have to be careful with exorcisms, or something bad might happen to you.” These bits of hearsay only make demons seem scarier, creating a culture of fear that pushes people away from deliverance ministry instead of drawing them in. In this episode, we’ll explore some of the common superstitions people believe about demons and dive into what this ministry actually looks like for our team at The Exorcist’s Bestiary.

In this episode of The Exorcist’s Bestiary, we dive deep into the deceptive tactics demons use to manipulate and control our minds. We explore how the lies they tell can entangle us and why recognizing and dismantling these falsehoods is key to breaking their grip. Join us as we discuss practical steps to uncover the truth and find lasting freedom from spiritual bondage.

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.
