In this episode of Everyday Exorcist, Grant and Kat continue their series on common demonic strongholds by tackling one of the most subtle and destructive of them all: control.In previous episodes, they explored fear and lust. Today, they uncover how control quietly takes root in people's lives and often disguises itself as responsibility, success, perfectionism, people-pleasing, OCD, eating disorders, passive aggression, and even strong leadership. What begins as a desire for safety, stability, or peace in a chaotic environment can eventually become a prison that damages relationships, hinders intimacy with God, and leaves people exhausted trying to manage every outcome.Drawing from years of ministry experience, Grant and Kat discuss how control frequently originates in childhood wounds, trauma, or environments where individuals learned to rely on themselves rather than trust others. They explore the spiritual and emotional dynamics behind this stronghold, why it can be so difficult to recognize in ourselves, and how the enemy uses it to keep people trapped in cycles of anxiety, striving, and isolation.The conversation also dives into the relationship between inner healing and deliverance, the role of the Holy Spirit in uncovering root issues, the physical and emotional manifestations of control, and why true freedom often requires patience, surrender, and a willingness to revisit painful places with Jesus. They discuss the challenges of ministering to those caught in deep patterns of control and why healing cannot be forced but must be welcomed.Ultimately, this episode is an invitation to lay down the burden of managing everything ourselves. As believers, we were never meant to carry the weight of control. True peace is not found in controlling our circumstances but in trusting the One who holds all things together. When we surrender our need to control and yield to Jesus, we discover the refuge, freedom, and shalom our souls have been longing for all along.

Most Christians unknowingly wrestle with the belief that they'll always struggle with sin. That victory is impossible and defeat is inevitable. But what if that belief isn't biblical at all?In this episode of Everyday Exorcist, Grant and Kat expose one of the most common lies believers partner with: "I'll never be free from sin." Together, they unpack how this mindset can become a spiritual stronghold, keeping Christians trapped in shame, condemnation, and cycles of defeat.Scripture teaches that through the cross, Jesus not only forgave sin. He broke its power. Your old self was crucified with Christ, and your identity is no longer that of a sinner striving for victory, but a redeemed son or daughter living from victory. Grant and Kat explore what it means to be a new creation, how to renew your mind with the truth of the Gospel, and why believers are called to put sin to death through the power of the Holy Spirit.If you're tired of the shame cycle, struggling with recurring sin, or wondering whether lasting freedom is really possible, this episode will challenge your perspective and encourage you to embrace the freedom Jesus purchased for you.Victory over sin isn't just a future promise - it's a present reality in Jesus.

In this episode of Everyday Exorcist, Grant and Kat are joined by Nate Henry and Luke Rodgers from the Blurry Creatures podcast - a show that began with conversations about Bigfoot and the unexplained, but quickly evolved into deep theological discussions about the unseen realm, spiritual warfare, and the mysteries most people spend their lives ignoring.As Nate and Luke have leaned into conversations surrounding the supernatural, they’ve found themselves face-to-face with the very real clash between good and evil.

Whether you’re new to faith, curious about spiritual warfare, wrestling with unexplained experiences, or have followed Jesus for decades, this episode will challenge your assumptions, stretch your imagination, and ignite your faith.If you love Blurry Creatures, are fascinated by the unseen realm, or are hungry for authentic encounters with God, this episode is for you.The supernatural is not dead.

This week, Katherine and Grant unpack powerful stories and key takeaways from recent ministry trips - sharing prophetic moments, healing testimonies, deliverance insights, and practical wisdom for everyday believers learning to minister in the power of the Holy Spirit.Grant shares a compelling testimony involving prayer for someone battling MS, and how spiritual strongholds connected to a past involvement with Islam can sometimes continue to affect the body even after someone comes to Christ. They discuss how certain “open doors” and unresolved spiritual ties can create ongoing oppression - and the authority believers have in Jesus to bring freedom.Kat reflects on what she learned while observing other healing and deliverance sessions, including a fascinating conversation around prolonged, unrighteous grief and how deep heartbreak can sometimes become a foothold for the enemy - especially within family systems and generational patterns.Together they explore why generational roots, inherited brokenness, and spiritual attachments are often connected to the deeper issues people face - and why discernment, compassion, and listening to the Holy Spirit are essential in helping people walk into lasting freedom.This episode is full of practical ministry insight, real stories, and honest conversation about healing, deliverance, grief, generational strongholds, and the transforming power of Jesus.

In this episode of Everyday Exorcist, Grant and Kat share a powerful ministry debrief from Grant’s recent trip to Argentina - highlighting what happens when you speak simple, truth-filled language about the demonic and how it can lead to real manifestation and freedom.They unpack how demons often respond when truth is spoken clearly - just like in Scripture when Jesus spoke in the temple and unclean spirits cried out—and why keeping things practical (not sensational) actually leads to greater breakthrough in deliverance ministry.Then they dive into listener call-in questions, covering topics like:What do deliverance dreams mean spiritually?How do generational sin patterns or “curses” actually work and how do you break them?How can you hear the voice of God more clearly?What’s the difference between body, soul, and spirit?How do you create an environment where kids can encounter God?This episode is full of practical teaching on deliverance, spiritual authority, and everyday ways the Kingdom of God shows up in real life.It closes with a powerful testimony of deliverance, forgiveness, and the restoration of a marriage - a real picture of what freedom in Jesus can look like.

Fear. Lust. Control. Death. Unforgiveness. Shame.These are the usual suspects - and in this episode, Grant and Kat start pulling them apart.They focus in on fear and lust - two of the most common (and most normalized) strongholds, and expose how they actually work. Spoiler: it’s not the struggle that traps you… it’s the agreement.They talk real-life patterns, how to spot it, and how to actually help people get free.Part 2 is coming - but this one will already mess with you (in a good way).Freedom isn’t theory. Jesus still sets people free.

What if the voice of God isn’t coming from “out there”… but from within?In this episode of Everyday Exorcist, Kat and Grant sit down with Putty Putman -theoretical quantum physicist turned pastor - to unpack the collision of science, faith, and the supernatural.Putty shares his journey from an analytical, science-driven Baptist background into a life marked by healing, deliverance, and powerful encounters with the Holy Spirit. Together, they explore what it actually looks like when the future reality of the Kingdom of Heaven breaks into our present world - and how everything changes when it does.This conversation gets intensely practical: How do you recognize God’s voice? Why are we waiting for a booming external sign when He’s already speaking internally? And what does it mean to partner with what God is doing instead of sitting on the sidelines?If you’ve ever wondered how much of the supernatural life is God’s initiative - and how much requires your response—this episode will challenge and equip you.Because when Heaven moves… you don’t just watch. You step in.

In this episode, Grant Pemberton and Katherine Michael take a deep dive into the often-overlooked but essential first step of healing prayer ministry: the intake form. While it may not sound exciting, this step is foundational - helping ease nerves for those coming in for prayer while equipping the ministry team with key insights to partner with the Holy Spirit.Each question on the form is intentional, opening the door to deeper understanding around past trauma, personal sin, family history, generational patterns, and current healing needs. This process becomes the starting point for discernment, shaping the direction of each prayer session. Grant and Kat also explore the broader context of healing ministry, including the role of community support, the impact of medication on emotional awareness, and the importance of addressing root issues - not just surface symptoms. Whether you’re a ministry leader or simply hungry to step into healing and deliverance, this practical conversation lays a strong foundation for the first step of the five-step prayer model: the interview. If you’re looking to build a healthy, Spirit-led prayer ministry in your own community, this episode is a must-listen.

Join Katherine Michael and Grant Pemberton as they welcome Michael Miller of Remnant Radio to Everyday Exorcist for a thoughtful conversation about the intersection of theology, the Holy Spirit, and the gifts of the Spirit.Michael shares his personal journey from a cessationist skeptic to a Spirit-empowered pastor who embraces the fullness of the supernatural while remaining deeply grounded in Scripture. Influenced by mentor and friend Jack Deere, Michael reflects on how his understanding of prophecy, deliverance, and the work of the Holy Spirit matured over time.In this episode, the conversation explores why stepping into the supernatural doesn’t mean “checking your brain at the door.” Instead, Michael argues that sound theology, biblical literacy, and intellectual honesty actually strengthen healthy charismatic practice.They also dive into the challenges facing the modern prophetic movement—especially in an age where technology allows anyone to build a platform without accountability. Michael explains the heart behind Remnant Radio’s annual “Prophecy Review,” where major prophetic words from public figures are examined each year, and discusses the growing need to “Make Prophecy Local Again”—returning prophetic ministry to accountable relationships within the local church.Whether you’re new to the gifts of the Spirit or looking to grow in discernment and maturity, this conversation offers practical wisdom for pursuing a Spirit-led life that honors both Word and Spirit.
