Demonology 203

Send us Fan Mail In this new entry in the Demonology classroom series, JJ is joined by Chris and Dean from The Wandering Road for a wide-ranging discussion on one of the most important and misunderstood questions in all of demonology: what actually makes something demonic? Together, they unpack the difference between the merely strange, the paranormal, and the genuinely infernal. They also tackle a problem that has followed religion for generations: the tendency to label anything uncomfortable, creative, weird, or unfamiliar as “demonic” without any real discernment. From Dungeons & Dragons and anime to horror films and satanic panic, this episode takes a hard look at how fear and ignorance can give the infernal far more credit than it deserves. The conversation then turns toward demonic gateways—what that phrase really means, where the line is between harmless interest and reckless experimentation, and how obsession, disorder, and repeated exposure to dangerous practices can become vectors for spiritual harm. Along the way, JJ shares practical criteria he uses when people come to him asking whether they may be dealing with something demonic. This is not an episode about panic. It is an episode about clarity, discernment, and refusing to confuse every shadow with the devil.
