Billy shares his origin story of starting in media after the Columbine shooting and how he transitioned from politics to investigating miracles and spiritual warfare. We tackle the controversial topics many churches avoid: Are ghosts real or are they demons in disguise? Can Christians watch horror movies or celebrate Halloween?
