Derek explores common stories and cultural beliefs about the supernatural, then tests them against Scripture—clarifying the difference between demonic deception, the hope of the resurrection, and the presence of the Holy Spirit. We also talk about fear: why it grips us, how it shapes our choices, and how the gospel frees us to live with peace and discernment. If you’ve ever wondered how a Christian should think about hauntings, spirits, or unexplained experiences, this conversation will give you a clear, biblical framework—and practical steps for responding with wisdom, courage, and compassion.
