  • Chris DeFlorio - a real life Exorcist
    Oct 25 2024
    It's a unique person that answers the call to deliverance ministry but that's exactly what happened to Chris DeFlorio who writes about his experiences as a demonologist in his book Called into Darkness. The retired New York police officer had plenty experience witnesses acts of evil. On 9/11 he was working as a paramedic at JFK airport, later signing up to be a cop on the midnight patrol. Coming from an American Italian background he and his wife had been loosely following Catholic and Christian teachings but admits they were only really 'saved' together when he was 38-years-old. During a stint on a mission to African DeFlorio witnessed what he believed to be a demon possession in man - a look in the eye he could not mistake. He felt called back to the city where he studied demonology and became emboldened to continue 'taking on the devil'. He's been doing it ever since. In this week's Profile he talks to Christianity Magazine Editor Sam Hailes about his journey, why some Christians get nervous around the subject of possession and how it's hurting The Church.

  • Preston Sprinkle on Biblical truth, homosexuality and politics
    Oct 18 2024
    Preston Sprinkle isn't scared of being cancelled. In fact it seems there's no subject he isn't prepared to debate. The Biblical scholar and Theology professor regularly takes on hot-button topics ranging from sexuality, race, patriotism and hell. He co-founded The Center for Faith, Sexuality and Gender which in their own words seeks to bring together leaders presenting 'a strong biblical ethic of marriage, sexuality and gender.' In his book People to be Loved: Why Homosexuality is not just an Issue he took on one of the most controversial questions The Church faces in the modern age with a mission not to compromise biblical truth or compassion for those within the LGBT community. In his latest book Exiles: The Church in the Shadow of Empire he explores The Church's relationship with politics against the backdrop of his own country's upcoming US election. In this week's podcast Christianity Magazine Editor Sam Hailes sits down with Preston to talk through what the next big LGBT issue will be and why 1st century Christians didn't care which caesar took the throne.
