Together, they discuss why deliverance is not an extreme or optional ministry, but a Gospel-centered expression of freedom that Jesus modeled and commissioned His Church to walk in.This conversation explores deliverance both within the church and on the streets, unpacking how demonic oppression operates, how the authority of Christ brings freedom, and how believers can minister deliverance in a way that is biblical, healthy, and rooted in the power of the Holy Spirit.In this episode, you’ll hear about:• The biblical foundation for deliverance ministry• Why spiritual warfare is not metaphorical—but real• Insights from Josh’s book World at War• How demons influence, oppress, and torment• The role of the Holy Spirit and gifts of the Spirit in deliverance• Establishing a healthy culture of deliverance in the church• Bringing freedom to people both inside and outside church wallsAs a massive harvest comes into the Church, many are walking in bound, wounded, and desperate for freedom.
