Episode 736 Show Notes
From the Show
Too often in the Christian Life we assume that everything is supposed to be bubbly and happy. We go to church and that’s even the kind of music that you hear—it’s really high energy and exciting. And yet, when you look at the hymn book of the Israelites, the Book of Psalms, the majority of the psalms in the psalter are songs of lament.
–Adriel Sanchez

- After being saved, can Christians still be possessed in some way by demonic spirits?
