Today, Pastor Jack teaches us that just like in Samuel's time, our enemy Satan is alive and well ready to defeat us. But, if we are aware of the danger, and live dependent on God, a simple song of true worship can send the enemy running.

Many people still blame rock music for the rebellious nature of the world today, and that the deal with the devil includes the weakening of morals to easily create a political movement to allow Luciferianism to destroy the Abrahamic religions. Furthermore, the demand for exorcisms appears to be on the rise in many parts of the world. A growing interest in spirituality and mystical experiences, particularly among young people, has also been cited as a reason for increased demand. But has it bred a Satanic acceptance over all? It depends on what you believe the trappings of Satan are. If you think that more people are aware of supernatural forces and the devil, then you are correct.

Show Notes:: Over the last 6 years, we've talked about if we should celebrate Halloween, Satan and his demons, dead people walking horror films, haunted houses, and extra terrestrials. But what about Tarot Cards, Palm Readings, Horror Scopes, and Psychics? What should our response be to these things? IN this week's episode of Real Talk Christian Podcast, Marc Hyde and Chris Fuller talk about what the Bible says about these things and how it applies to us in this culture.

Halloween doesn’t have to be a night of fear—it can be a night of faith in action. Rooted in Matthew 5:16, this devotional reminds believers that even on the darkest day of the year, God’s light shines brightest through us. Instead of retreating, Christians can use Halloween as a powerful opportunity to connect, protect, and share Christ’s love with their neighbors. Whether through simple acts of kindness, offering a safe space, or handing out a message of hope, we can turn Halloween into a day of light. Highlights Transform Halloween from a day of darkness into one of redemptive mission and community connection. Designate your home as a safe house where children can find refuge and kindness amid the chaos. Share the Gospel naturally by including tracts or church invite cards with candy. Host a bonfire or neighborhood gathering to build relationships and spark meaningful faith conversations. Use Halloween as an opportunity to demonstrate God’s love and create a welcoming, light-filled atmosphere. Remember: when we shine Christ’s light, even the darkest night can point others to the hope of the Gospel. Join the Conversation How do you plan to shine your light this Halloween? Share your ideas and stories with us! Tag @LifeAudioNetwork and use #ShineBrightForJesus #LightOverDarkness #FaithInAction.

There are ten different words, or phrases used to represent hell, and each has their separate meaning and place. Sheol, Hades, and the Pit all represent the place where people exist currently. Gehenna, the Lake of Fire, and outer darkness represent the future hell where people will go after the Great White Throne Judgment Day. Satan and most likely his demons with him are cast into the lake of fire as it says in Revelation. The words Abyss, Abyssos, Bottomless Pit, and Tartarus each represent where demons are currently assigned, each area perhaps having certain fallen angels and demons. Understand more about these words and places which refer to hell, as Bill and Annette biblically explain each.

The defeat of evil and of demonic powers is associated with Halloween. For this reason, Martin Luther posted his 95 challenges to the wicked practices of the Church to the bulletin board on the door of the Wittenberg chapel on Halloween. He picked his day with care, and ever since Halloween has also been Reformation Day. The power of Satan has been broken once and for all, and our children can mock him by dressing up like ghosts, goblins, and witches.

Daily Study: God has given you a calling for which He desires you to succeed at. However, as much as God desires for you to succeed, Satan desires for you to fail. Therefore, Satan will send many attacks your way that are designed to stop your calling and/or are fashioned to tempt you to give up. A major way we can stop his attacks is to put on the full armor of God. This is practically done by living a life following the ways of God. While living "right" doesn't save us, it can offer protection against the attacks of Satan.

Dr. Lane Tipton speaks at the Reformed Forum Annual Theology Conference, held at Lakeland Church in Gurnee, Illinois on September 27, 2025. Dr. Tipton presents Jesus Christ as the "mountain ascending mediator" and the promised seed of the woman from Genesis 3:15. Dr. Tipton argues that God's plan for redemption is framed by the concept of a holy mountain dwelling, beginning with heaven itself and its earthly counterpart, the Garden of Eden. After Adam's fall and subsequent exile from the holy mountain, God announced the first promise of the gospel—that the seed of the woman would crush the serpent's head. This salvific ascent was foreshadowed throughout the Old Testament on key mountains (Ararat, Sinai, Moriah, and Zion), all pointing to the final ascent of Christ. Through his sacrifice, Christ successfully ascended to the heavenly mountain, providing covering for sin, overcoming the devil, and bringing his people to see God in perfected worship and everlasting beatitude.

Halloween is slowly transforming into something new. Catholics and some other denominations of Christianity are now claiming that the festival is itself is, and always was, a Christian holiday. Other Christians are maintaining their claims that it is an evil holiday that should be avoided at all costs. Still, many non-religious, or even satanists, embrace the day as evil. What if all of these arguments miss the point of Halloween? Also, a recent viral post about kids in MAGA-costumes being given laced-candy is nothing more than a modern legend about the razor-in-an-apple, something candy companies certainly profited off for decades, but which was nothing more than an urban legend. The way that people respond to the laced-candy story seems to be a political cope, just as the “Halloween is Christian” hashtag is a religious cope. In both cases, and in one way, we can witness the natural evolution of tradition and legend. In another way, it is a sort of Halloween hot potato. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Many people are aware that a great shift has happened in the last few years, and especially in the wake of recent events, it seems as if the “Good Guys” are finally winning, that society is on its way to prosperity, back to good morals, reason and peace for all. People are going back to church, and God seems to be coming back to the center of it all. These things are all indeed happening, but what do they mean in light of scripture and history? The bible warned that such things are the final stages of Satan's deception, before his system is resurrected and enforces obedience as a judgment from God on the wicked who did not love the truth. * 00:00 - Introduction* 08:24 - The Echo Chamber* 21:22 - The Catholic Takeover This is a public episode.

"For thou mindest not the things of God but the things of men." Jesus to Peter. A true friend expresses his/her views when the other person/friend is in evil paths." Soren. We all likely overestimate our courage when the test comes. Good to stay humble and pray that God gives us the strength to endure persecution and adversity because of our faith. If and when it happens. Soren does not dodge the hard teachings and words of Jesus.

October 29, 2025Today's Reading: 2 Timothy 4:6-8, 16-18Daily Lectionary: Deuteronomy 31:1-29; Matthew 19:16-30“No one came to stand by me, but all deserted me… But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed.” (2 Timothy 4:16,17)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Even St. Paul felt isolated at times. While standing in court, defending the faith, where were his friends, other pastors, and Christians whom the Holy Spirit brought to faith through his preaching? Anyone who could have been supporting was scattered like the apostles on Holy Thursday. Satan and his minions wanted Paul to feel alone, overwhelmed, cut off from Christ and His Church. Then maybe Paul would lose his strength and will to preach Christ crucified.The devil also wants you to feel isolated. All alone. “Divide and conquer,” the saying goes, and that tends to be the demonic method.Maybe it feels like your friends have deserted you, that they are all having a good time without you while you are stuck home that weekend. Or you are the only one in your class who actually respected the teacher and did the work she assigned. Maybe you are the only one around who is actually remaining chaste and not giving in to the constant daily sexual temptations. You feel alone. No one came to stand by me, but all deserted me.St. Paul reminds you here that all is not lost. Even though he had no other human comfort at that time, he was not alone. But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me. Christ comforted him throughout this trial and hardship. The Lord gave him peace throughout the persecution, with the sure and certain hope of the resurrection that got him through it all.You are not alone either. The Lord blesses you with His comforting and encouraging presence. You are His beyond the shadow of a doubt through Holy Baptism, which bound you to Christ in a way that He will never abandon you. He speaks His Word to you by reading and proclaiming His Scriptures to you. And He nourishes you with His own Body and Blood, so that He dwells inside you!So let the devil rage all he wants. He can taunt and criticize, and suggest doubts to you. But he cannot cut you off from God. Christ will never desert you. You belong to the Lord! The Lord stands by you and strengthens you!  In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Satan, I defy thee; Death I now decry thee; Fear, I bid thee cease. World, thou shalt not harm me Nor thy threats alarm me While I sing of peace. God's great power Guards every hour; Earth and all its depths adore Him, Silent bow before Him. (LSB 743:3)Rev. Richard Heinz, pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church, Lowell, IN.Audio Reflections Speaker: Pastor Harrison Goodman is the Executive Director of Mission and Theology for Higher Things.Step back in time to the late Reformation and learn about a divisive yet inspirational figure: Matthias Flacius Illyricus. His contributions to Lutheranism still echo in our teachings today, from the Magdeburg Confession to parts of the Lutheran Confessions. Learning about Flacius's life will help you understand more intricacies of the Reformation than ever before.

Halloween is one of the most celebrated nights of the year—fun, candy, costumes, and laughter. But beneath the surface lies a deeper question: is it just harmless entertainment, or does it carry something far more spiritual and dangerous? In this powerful, eye-opening episode, JD Williams and David Paxton explore the true origins of Halloween, tracing its path from ancient Celtic rituals and Roman adaptations to the modern-day blend of superstition, commercialism, and occult imagery that fills our streets every October 31st.Video Version available upon release a 9:00pm ET/8:00pm CT athttps://youtu.be/yr4ixet7RRwSegment by segment, the hosts dig beneath the surface to uncover the spiritual realities behind the season's symbols — the jack-o'-lanterns, costumes, and “trick-or-treat” traditions — revealing how many of these customs were born in fear of spirits and the dead, not in celebration of life or holiness. Through Scripture, they expose how Halloween's “innocent fun” often masks the very darkness God commands His people to avoid.Drawing direct biblical parallels from Deuteronomy 18, Ephesians 5, and 2 Corinthians 11, JD and David reveal how Satan disguises evil as entertainment, and how modern culture has normalized what once was clearly forbidden. The episode highlights connections between the ancient rebellion at Babel and the modern spirit of Halloween — a global fascination with self-glorification, deception, and spiritual rebellion that echoes the end-time “Mystery Babylon” system described in Revelation 17–18.But this isn't a show about fear — it's a call to light. JD and David offer practical ways for Christians to redeem the night: how to respond with discernment, protect families from spiritual compromise, and use Halloween as an opportunity for outreach rather than participation in darkness. They urge believers to stand firm in faith, to “cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light,” reminding listeners that Jesus Christ is victorious over death, fear, and every power of evil.Halloween: Holy or Hallow? is both a warning and a wake-up call — a thought-provoking look at how a single night of fun can carry eternal consequences, and how the Church must once again choose between the world's celebration of death and God's gift of everlasting life.For More information or to support our Ministry please visithttps://www.lastchristian.net/

Romans 8:16 — When Satan tempts the Christian to despair or tells them that they are not a child of God, they can turn to the word of God and find an abundance of assurance based upon the promises of the Scriptures. In this sermon on Roman 8:16 titled “The Witness of the Spirit,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones does not discount the amount of assurance found by going to the Bible. He argues, however, that there is an even greater level of assurance that the believer can have. In Romans 8:16, the apostle Paul mentions the witness of the Spirit. This witness of the Spirit, says Dr. Lloyd-Jones, is the same as the baptism of the Spirit, or the sealing of the Spirit, found elsewhere in Scripture. While every Christian has the Spirit of adoption and is a child of God, not all have the witness of the Spirit. This is a second blessing that comes upon a believer for the purpose of assurance. Moreover, it illumines the believer's understanding with respect to salvation. In essence, it is a special way the love of God is poured out on a particular believer in the quietness of the heart. Listen as Dr. Lloyd-Jones gives an extended teaching on the witness of the Spirit and breaks down the Scriptures in order to gain insight and understanding to this special work of the Holy Spirit.

What do garlic, blackberries, cucumbers, eggplants, mushrooms, and pumpkins have in common? More than you might think. Across history and folklore, fruits and vegetables have not only nourished humanity but terrified it - linked with madness, curses, demons, vampires, and even the Devil himself. From garlic garlands that warded off the undead, to blackberries spoiled by Satan's spit, to Japanese river demons with a fondness for cucumbers, and the pumpkin lanterns that still haunt our porches every Halloween - produce has carried meanings far darker than the dinner table.Join John and Patrick as they explore the eerie world of cursed crops and sinister superstitions: a journey from medieval England to haunted Japanese rivers, from Bedouin tales of madness-inducing eggplants to the psychedelic mushrooms of Siberian shamans. This is the story of fruits and vegetables not as symbols of life and vitality, but as omens of death, disease, and the supernatural…----------In Sponsorship with J&K Fresh.The customs broker who is your fruit and veggies' personal bodyguard.

In this chilling segment of Hidden Killers Live, Tony Brueski reads and dissects Chad Daybell's Letter #7 — a rambling, supernatural account written years before the doomsday murders that would make him infamous. In the letter, Daybell claims that while working as the sexton of a Utah cemetery, he was haunted by the ghost of a petty thief named Eddie — a spirit that supposedly opened gates, picked locks, and moved padlocks onto pegs. He writes that he eventually told Eddie to “go toward the light,” and that the disturbances stopped. Then the letter descends into something far darker. Daybell describes being electrically jolted and shoved by an unseen force while probing a “haunted grave.” He calls it a demonic attack and connects it to the same “evil legions” described in 19th-century LDS texts. To him, it wasn't psychosis or imagination — it was confirmation of his divine purpose. From there, he recounts hearing a dozen disembodied voices outside his window shouting, “We hate your books!” and claims this was proof that Satan opposed his writing. For Chad, it all fit the narrative: he wasn't an aspiring author with an obsession — he was a spiritual warrior under attack. That mindset — the blending of fantasy, religion, and grandiosity — would become the foundation of his later relationship with Lori Vallow, the “prophetess” who believed their murders were part of God's plan. Tony breaks down how this letter foreshadowed everything that came next: The God complex behind Chad Daybell's self-anointed mission. His habit of reframing delusion as divine validation. The chilling psychological progression from “I saw a ghost” to “I'm chosen to cleanse the world.” It's one of the most haunting pieces of writing from any modern-day killer — not because of its ghost story, but because of the mind telling it. #ChadDaybell #LoriVallow #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #CultCrimes #PsychologyOfEvil #ReligiousDelusion #MurderMystery #TonyBrueski #PrisonLetters Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Fear can hold us back from boldly sharing the hope of Jesus, but God calls every believer to step forward in courage. Drawing from Joshua 1:9, this devotional encourages Christians to rely on God’s presence and strength to overcome fear and proclaim the Good News with confidence. Courage is not the absence of fear—it’s trusting that God goes with us wherever we are sent. Highlights Fear often surfaces when we feel unprepared or anxious to share our faith. God commands strength and courage, promising His presence wherever we go (Joshua 1:9). The enemy uses fear to silence believers, but God’s power surpasses any opposition. True courage flows from trusting God, not relying on our own abilities. Speaking the truth of Jesus with love can impact lives and advance His Kingdom. Join the Conversation Where has God been calling you to step out in courage? Share a moment you overcame fear by trusting Him. Tag @LifeAudioNetwork and use #BoldFaith #CourageForChrist #ShareTheGoodNews to inspire others to trust God’s presence in their bold steps of faith.

The Wilderness E9 — After Jesus' baptism, the Holy Spirit leads him into the wilderness to be tested for 40 days. The exodus generation spent 40 years in the wilderness, so we'd be right to expect parallels with their experience. But why does Jesus need to go through this wilderness test? And what does it mean for his followers? In this episode, Jon and Tim look at Jesus' three wilderness tests, discovering the long-awaited faithful human who is ready to enter the garden land.CHAPTERSRecap of Theme and Setup for Jesus in the Wilderness (0:00-16:59)Final Thoughts on Baptism and Intro to Wilderness Tests (16:59-39:29)Jesus' Wilderness Tests (39:29-1:01:46)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESJesus on the Mountain: A Study in Matthean Theology by Terence DonaldsonThe Gospel according to Matthew: A Commentary by Matthias KonradtYou can view annotations for this episode—plus our entire library of videos, podcasts, articles, and classes—in the BibleProject app, available for Android and iOS.Check out Tim's extensive collection of recommended books here.SHOW MUSIC“Heaven Is Home” by Lofi Sunday, Zairis TéJion“Fellowship” by Lofi Sunday, Cassidy GodwinBibleProject theme song by TENTSSHOW CREDITSProduction of today's episode is by Lindsey Ponder, producer, and Cooper Peltz, managing producer.

Send us a Positive Review!Series Title: A Two-Hundred Year Old Mirror: How the Faith Expansion Journey has Always Made Christian Leadership Sweat! [Episode II of II]In this thought-provoking episode, Valerie and guest Casey McFarland dive into part two of their series comparing the dynamics between orthodox leadership and progressive membership in both the early Christian church and in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. They explore the discovery of the Gnostic Gospels and how their divergent beliefs sparked friction with orthodox leaders of the time. The conversation addresses the parallels between historical and contemporary challenges, such as the struggles around authority, the role of women, and the push and pull between rigidity and progressive thought.  The fascinating conclusion:  What we are experiencing is utterly predictable, has happened before, and is more about the frictions around community, cohesion, and the inevitability that some souls much grow...even in a correlated space! Did you hear their announcement about the Latter Day Struggles 2026 trip to Italy?  Listen in and catch up if you didn't!   Previous episodes referenced:  159:  LDS University Students Pressured to Not Ask Hard Questions 160:  Why Scientific & Academic Inquiry IS Spiritual Seeking!Timestamps:00:00 Introduction and Welcome00:20 Comparing Modern and Early Christian Dynamics01:12 Recap of Last Episode01:21 The Gnostic Gospels and Early Christian Writings03:45 Role of Women and Educated in Early Christianity06:40 Evolution of God and Spiritual Development07:38 Historical Parallels in Religious Thought10:38 Authority and Questioning in Faith18:11 Modern Reflections on Historical Religious Tensions24:54 Inclusivity and Development in Faith Traditions26:42 Contradictions in Logic and Authority28:16 The Role of Satan in Early Christian Debates31:30 Personal Experiences and Institutional Authority34:05 The Struggle for Inner Authority and Faith Development38:27 The Tension Between Tradition and Progress50:15 Invitation to Italy: Exploring Early Christian History53:38 Closing Remarks and Future PlansSupport the showSupport the show Listen, Share, Rate & Review EPISODES Friday Episodes Annual Access $89 Friday Episodes Monthly Access $10 Valerie's Support & Processing Groups Gift a Scholarship Download Free Resources Visit our Website
