Deliverance: A Theological and Practical Journey to Freedom from Spiritual Darkness

A theological and experiential journey in dealing with evil so people can be set free to live as Jesus promised.

Most Christians would agree that we are the only ones on earth equipped to help our family, friends, and neighbors when it comes to supernatural darkness, or at least we say we believe it. We say "yes" intellectually but when it comes to actually dealing with evil, many of us are afraid and feel out of our depth.

What does the Bible really say about the demonic? How did Christians deal with this in various cultures over two thousand years? Do we even need this conversation?

For pastor and theologian, Jon Thompson, this has been a journey more than twenty years in the making as he and his church found themselves working through how to help desperate people and remain rooted in Scripture.

In Deliverance, Thompson will lead you on a journey through the pages of Scripture and the experiences of Christians throughout the centuries as he outlines what has always been universally applicable when dealing with evil and what must be adapted to fit our different churches and cultures.

Topics include:

The scriptural basis for deliverance
Deliverance throughout church history
An explanation of spiritual authority
The role of spiritual gifts in deliverance ministry
An evaluation of the five major deliverance models
Outline of a mixed model approach to deliverance
No matter our history, theology, bias, pain, or disbelief, we all need to engage in this conversation because there are people all around us who desperately need to be set free to live as Jesus promised.
