Jonathan Pokluda's Warning About the Most Dangerous Error Surrounding the Demonic Realm 27:11

NEW SEASON OF "PLAYING WITH FIRE" BROUGHT TO YOU BY: Christian Solidarity International (CSI) , a Christian human rights organization that advocates for and helps victims of religious persecution, enslavement, victimized children, and victims of natural disasters. Jonathan Pokluda is on a mission to help people "identify spiritual warfare" and "defeat the enemy." Pokluda, pastor of Harris Creek Baptist Church in Waco, Texas, is tackling the topic of spiritual warfare head-on, recently releasing " Your Story Has a Villain: Identify Spiritual Warfare and Learn How to Defeat the Enemy ," a new book aimed at helping people see through chaos to discern truth. As Pokluda embarked on his own spiritual journey years ago, he realized something: many people were missing a key piece to the spiritual puzzle. In fact, some Christians weren't fully aware — or even seeking — answers about the overarching spiritual battle raging between good and evil that Paul describes in Ephesians 6. "Being raised Catholic, I would see statues of angels and demons, and I was taught in religion class about the spiritual war that was happening around me," he said. "And I knew the story in Genesis 3, the fall, you know the tempting of Satan in the Garden of Eden." Pokluda continued, "But, if this war was happening around us, I knew very little about it. And I didn't know what could happen." The preacher said he was shocked to realize many people in the Christian community seemed "comfortable not knowing" these answers. This led Pokluda to do an in-depth exploration of what the Bible actually teaches. "It really was a three-year journey," he said, noting he eventually went on to do a teaching series about the topic at his church, helping others discover what he learned from Scripture. Ultimately, Pokluda said it's essential for Christians to understand Ephesians 6 and the battle between good and evil, warning that "spiritual warfare has implications for everything we do." "It's a foundational truth to the Christian faith," he added. Listen to him explain. MORE INFORMATION: - Want to know more?

NEW SEASON OF "PLAYING WITH FIRE" BROUGHT TO YOU BY: Christian Solidarity International (CSI) , a Christian human rights organization that advocates for and helps victims of religious persecution, enslavement, victimized children, and victims of natural disasters. In this compelling episode, Billy sits down with Andrew Columbia, a pastor and former NYPD officer, to unravel an extraordinary journey from darkness to deliverance. Andrew's raw, unfiltered testimony takes listeners from his tumultuous days as a "mean, angry, prejudiced cop" in the crack cocaine-fueled chaos of New York City’s 80s and 90s, to a life-altering rooftop encounter with God. Experience his "Damascus Road moment," where despair met divine intervention, leaving him transformed and empowered. As Andrew recounts his newfound faith, he shares his immediate, untrained encounters with the supernatural—casting out demons on the streets of New York while on duty. From fingerprinting criminals to exorcising evil spirits during routine patrols, his spiritual awakening brought unexplainable authority and peace. Hear the awe-inspiring accounts of healings and deliverance, including the story of an emotionally disturbed child instantly calmed by a single prayer, leaving educators in disbelief. The conversation delves deeper into Andrew’s understanding of spiritual warfare, where his firsthand battles against demonic forces illuminate the very real struggle between good and evil. From casting out high-level demons as a church pastor to wrestling with the powers of darkness in international crusades, Andrew's testimonies challenge the secular dismissal of the unseen realm. His vivid story of a blind man possessed by evil spirits showcases the intense reality of deliverance ministry. The episode crescendos with tales of Andrew’s global ministry, including a harrowing experience in Pakistan where he witnessed an overwhelming outpouring of the Holy Spirit amid threats of violence — and a shocking battle over a possessed, blind man. In this eye-opening episode, Billy and Andrew leave listeners with a profound reminder: evil is real, but God’s power is greater. Whether you’re a believer or skeptic, this episode will challenge, inspire, and encourage you to see the world through a spiritual lens. MORE INFORMATION: - Want to know more?

Satanist, Witch and Psychic Embroiled in Darkness Abandons It All After Jesus Appears to Him: 'I Was in Shock' 42:47

NEW SEASON OF "PLAYING WITH FIRE" BROUGHT TO YOU BY: Christian Solidarity International (CSI) , a Christian human rights organization that advocates for and helps victims of religious persecution, enslavement, victimized children, and victims of natural disasters. Riaan Swiegelaar was a practicing witch, psychic, and Satanist, living his life deeply embedded in the occult. Then, an earth-shattering encounter with Jesus changed everything. Swiegelaar's story went viral in 2022 after he left his post as a reverend with the South African Satanic Church (SASC), and became a Christian. The global attention wasn't something he was expecting. "I didn't anticipate at the time that it's going to go that wide," he said, noting he was almost immediately "under scrutiny from around the world" as he navigated his newfound faith. "It has been an interesting two years, indeed." Since becoming a Christian, Swiegelaar sought deliverance, coped with the demonic, and is now helping others who are on a similar journey out of the grips of Satanism. But the process has been a long journey. *** NEW SEASON BROUGHT TO YOU BY: Christian Solidarity International (CSI) , a Christian human rights organization that advocates for and helps victims of religious persecution, enslavement, victimized children, and victims of natural disasters. *** "After I had my encounter with Christ and after I was saved, I was fully involved with certain practices," he said. "I was still doing readings for people … because I thought, 'No, I'm sure it's OK.'" But Swiegelaar was soon convicted by the Holy Spirit and found himself going for more deliverance and finding freedom and healing from these practices. In an appearance on "Billy Hallowell's Playing With Fire" podcast, he explained how he rose up the ranks of Satanism, noting he had a background in theology and the occult and was practicing witchcraft and psychic mediumship when he came into the movement. "A lot of people who join Satanism — and this was also my experience with members of that organization ... people join in it on different types of labels depending on their background and understanding," he said. As for Swiegelaar's experience as a Satanist, he said he "saw a lot of things happening" and was profoundly "deceived." "When I initially got involved in Satanism, I remember the first time I read the Satanic Bible … it appeals to people that are very wounded and broken … and feel like they are the odd ones out," he said. "It is written in that way for a reason. … You can define your own version of what divinity is." At first, Swiegelaar saw God as energy and Lucifer as a force in each human being, though that later changed as he began to experience a very different dynamic. "I had a few encounters where I actually saw different faces of the enemy," he said. "It became extremely real." While many Satanists consider themselves to be atheists, he said there's often more to this story than meets the eye, as this idea that the devil doesn't exist is purportedly sometimes a tactic or even a misconception among new Satanic congregants. "A lot of Satanists who initially get involved with Satanism from an atheistic point of view, most of them don't believe that the devil exists," he said, noting, though, that manifestations sometimes change so that people start to see these beliefs are, indeed, rooted in reality. "The time when ... things become very real with Satanic rituals and stuff, you're so deep into it that it's difficult to come out." With the "wool over" some people's eyes, Swiegelaar said it can feel impossible to get out or abandon Satanism, with the dynamics becoming "extremely destructive." Some, he said, are even pushed to the brink of suicide. He said part of his own job centered on trying to convince the public there is no devil. "[The] devil wants to deceive people to think there's no Satan," Swiegelaar said, noting this impacted his efforts to play into this dynamic. "That is part of that very agenda that I'm talking about. It is simply that. Unfortunately, there [are] some people in media who do know the truth, because they are Satanists themselves." One of the most deceptive and surprising elements of Satanism, he said, is that there's a stereotype or expectation of what Satanists should look like. But rather than appearing strange or fitting that dynamic, Swiegelaar said many Satanists are police, teachers, and others who would otherwise be seen as normal. Yet he said some of the activities within Satanism are far outside of the mainstream. From black masses to the observance of monthly minor practices, Swiegelaar said he was very involved in commemorating Satanism and even running these rituals. "In terms of animal sacrifices, yes, certainly that happens," he said. "I've been involved in that." Swiegelaar also had much to say about babies, Satanic ritual abuse, the drinking of blood, and other disturbing occurrences — practices he had purportedly witnessed or been involved in. But all of this is now behind him after his conversion to Christianity. "The amount of love that I experienced ... there was just no choice but to follow Him," Swiegelaar said of Jesus. "It was Jesus Christ who saved me." And the story behind his introduction to that love is incredible. It all started when Swiegelaar was asked to perform a ritual, and as he was preparing for it, something remarkable happened. "As I turned around, I saw this figure," he said. "And I thought, in that moment, 'These demons are showing up already? I haven't even started with the ritual.'" But Swiegelaar soon realized he wasn't dealing with the demonic. "I said, 'Who are you?' And, when he said, 'Yeshua of Nazareth,' I obviously doubted that," he continued, noting he asked Jesus to "prove it." "And that's when He flooded me with that love. ... it was incredible." Swiegelaar continued, "Everything stopped. Everything went quiet. I was completely embraced with that love. I was in shock."

Ex-Psychic Reveals Hidden Horrors of Halloween: Why Tarot, Ouija Boards, Occult Usher in True Danger 14:55

NEW SEASON OF "PLAYING WITH FIRE" BROUGHT TO YOU BY: Christian Solidarity International (CSI) , a Christian human rights organization that advocates for and helps victims of religious persecution, enslavement, victimized children, and victims of natural disasters. In this riveting episode of "Billy Hallowell's Playing With Fire," ex-psychic Jenn Nizza dives deep into the darker side of Halloween with host Billy Hallowell, unpacking why this holiday — and its growing commercialism — raises serious concerns for her. Reflecting on her past as a former psychic medium, Nizza describes Halloween as a celebration of darkness, with decor that has "gotten bigger and better," yet feels "daunting" and troubling for its glorification of fear. She warns of the creeping normalization of occult symbols and practices, like tarot cards and Ouija boards, which are marketed as “just for fun” but carry serious spiritual implications. *** NEW SEASON BROUGHT TO YOU BY: Christian Solidarity International (CSI) , a Christian human rights organization that advocates for and helps victims of religious persecution, enslavement, victimized children, and victims of natural disasters. *** Nizza doesn’t shy away from discussing how she believes divination tools are “gateways” into the demonic. "When you do devilish things, you get devilish outcomes," she warns, challenging the casual acceptance of these practices. Her experience is firsthand: as a former medium, she recounts terrifying moments when demons manifested, sometimes taking on familiar faces of the departed. She describes this dark, hidden realm as "the hook," revealing how the accuracy of spirit readings kept clients coming back — unknowingly stepping deeper into spiritual danger. Beyond Halloween’s trappings, Nizza points to a larger cultural shift: divination practices are becoming mainstream, not just in October but year-round. She reflects on the alarming increase in occult items sold in everyday stores, including “spell books” and other paraphernalia aimed at kids and adults alike. “This isn’t something to tinker with,” she says, cautioning listeners about the long-term impact of engaging with such items, especially the risk of inviting demonic oppression and even sleep paralysis into one’s life.

NEW SEASON OF "PLAYING WITH FIRE" BROUGHT TO YOU BY: Christian Solidarity International (CSI) , a Christian human rights organization that advocates for and helps victims of religious persecution, enslavement, victimized children, and victims of natural disasters. *** NEW SEASON BROUGHT TO YOU BY: Christian Solidarity International (CSI) , a Christian human rights organization that advocates for and helps victims of religious persecution, enslavement, victimized children, and victims of natural disaster. *** Welcome to the brand-new season of Playing with Fire , kicking things off with a deep dive into a topic many Christians rarely hear about: generational curses. Our guest today is Pastor Mike Signorelli, who’s here to talk about his powerful new book, Inherit Your Freedom . In this episode, we get into what generational curses are, the battle over the concept, why so many churches avoid the subject, and how these spiritual battles could be shaping your life without you even knowing it. Mike takes a unique approach, drawing parallels between the biological inheritance we all understand—like heart conditions or musical talent—and spiritual inheritances like addiction or broken relationships. He explains how science, specifically epigenetics, now backs up what the Bible has taught all along. The curses passed down from one generation to the next may hold the keys to unlocking your hidden purpose. As Mike says, “If I can help you uncover the curses, I can reveal the hidden purpose.” We also dig into deliverance, a topic that also sparks debate. What’s the balance between medical issues and spiritual warfare? Are addictions and even mental health issues linked to demonic influence in some cases? Mike, who pastors a large, multi-state church, shares real-life examples of people finding freedom by tackling both the spiritual and practical aspects of their struggles. Mike’s book isn’t just about casting out demons—it’s about a complete transformation. From healing relationships to breaking free from cycles of addiction, Inherit Your Freedom offers diagnostic tools and practical steps for rebuilding your life after spiritual strongholds have been torn down. And Mike is there with you every step of the way, even offering video guides that go along with each chapter. If you’ve ever wondered how your family’s past might be affecting your present, or if you’re looking for real, lasting freedom from patterns you just can’t seem to break, this episode—and Mike’s book—are for you. Check out Inherit Your Freedom , available October 22nd, and join us for an unforgettable conversation. MORE INFORMATION: - Want to know more?
