Is Jesus an Exorcist -- and What Does That Mean Now?

In this Theology Lab episode with Brad East, we explore how the Bible speaks about spiritual warfare, sin, Satan, and cosmic forces—and how Brad understands the ongoing meaning of these ideas today. Brad brings in perspective from the charismatic and pentecostal tradition of Christianity. This episodes looks at topics like exorcism, the authority of Jesus in the Gospels, and how Scripture frames both personal sin and systemic evil.

As cultural trends show a renewed interest in spiritual realities, this conversation asks what Christians should take seriously without falling into fear or caricature. What does it mean to live in light of spiritual warfare in daily life?
