Covid Doctors, Demons, Deliverance, and Discernment

The question from a listener via Facebook Livestream: "I attended a PTSD class for military personnel at a “deliverance” style church called _____________. It intrigued me, so I went to a few of their Friday night Deliverance services. They were very interesting. (I had some idea what I was going to as I went to a Pentecostal church camp with a friend as a kid—that was eye opening—I had no idea what I was going to as a kid). I don’t know much about their beliefs (other than hearing in the past that they “teach” people how to speak in tongues). While I was there, they were calling out evil spirits from people and taking about miraculous healings. I didn’t hear anything that was obviously contradictory to what I’ve read in the Bible, but I wasn’t really sure about it. What are your views on services or churches like this? It came to mind since the lady in the news for the “cure for coronavirus” is taking about kinda wacky stuff like this too..." In this episode of Dojo Discussions, we talk about the supernatural, demons, healing, and other "bizarre" spiritual phenomena...and how we as Christians should approach them.

What’s up with the name “Disciple Dojo”?? Great question! One of my lifelong passions has been studying the martial arts. And the place where you study and train in martial arts is a Dojo. Christian Discipleship is similar to martial arts training (if you don’t believe me, just ask Paul–he says so himself in his letter to Christians in ancient Corinth [1Cor. 9:26-27]!). We have a Sensei (teacher): Jesus. We have a katana (sword): Scripture. Thus Disciple Dojo is intended as a virtual Dojo–where students of the Master can be sharpened, challenged, equipped and encouraged as they continue to become more and more like the One they serve…minus the scrapes and bruises!
