Off the Shelf 055 – Adam Blai
We find ourselves in unprecedented times. Pandemics, riots, and more come at us day after day. Perhaps most importantly, if you were not aware, is that we are in the midst of a very serious spiritual battle. On this episode of Off the Shelf, Adam and I discuss a topic many may find scary and some will find fascinating. That topic is possession and the exorcisms that occur to free people from the bonds of the demonic that is residing in them. This isn’t Ghostbusters, and it’s not fantasy. This is REAL and it is necessary to discuss it so that we as faithful followers of Christ know the dangers around us. How did Adam get involved in this field and what led him to become one who teaches priests how to conduct exorcisms? What are the legalistic rules binding the spiritual world? How serious are some of the cases he has been involved with? Has there ever been an exorcism he was involved in that made him want to walk away and never be involved again? Learn this and more in this episode of Off the Shelf.

Outstanding interview.
Consider looking into a new jingle; this one is a bit grating, and it’s FAR too loud.
