Podcast Explores Spiritual Warfare in Modern Churches
In a world where many churches hesitate to confront the realities of spiritual warfare and the occult, actress Jen Lilley and journalist Billy Hallowell are stepping boldly into the fray. Their new podcast, “Into the Supernatural,” is a clarion call to the faithful, urging believers to recognize and address the spiritual battles that are often ignored in modern church discourse.
Lilley and Hallowell recently joined Jenn Nizza, a former psychic turned Christian apologist, for a candid discussion about the infiltration of New Age practices into churches and the importance of spiritual discernment. The episode was a powerful reminder of the need for churches to equip their congregations with biblical truth and compassion.
Lilley, known for her work in film and television, shared how the podcast was born out of a deep desire to discuss the Holy Spirit and the works of God. “I prayed about it and said, ‘If you ever want to do a podcast about the supernatural, that is something I could devote all of my time to,’” she recalled. Her passion for the topic is evident, as she seeks to illuminate the often-overlooked aspects of spiritual life.
Hallowell, whose previous podcast delved into spiritual battles, echoed this sentiment. He admitted to feeling convicted about his past reluctance to engage with these topics, realizing the disservice it was to himself and others. “I went through most of my life without ever hearing about spiritual warfare in church. That’s a disservice,” he stated, highlighting the urgent need for these discussions within the church community.
The podcast aims not only to spark curiosity but to equip believers with truth and compassion. Lilley shared how Nizza’s testimony softened her perspective on those entangled in the occult, moving her from a posture of righteous indignation to one of empathy. “Thank you for giving me compassion in this area. That was the one area I haven’t had compassion,” Lilley told Nizza, illustrating the transformative power of testimonies.
Nizza emphasized the importance of discernment and love in these conversations. “Hearing other people’s stories is giving you new compassion, and it’s also educating the Church about things that are creeping in, like angel numbers, card readings, and near-death experiences,” she noted.
The episode also tackled controversial topics such as near-death experiences and spiritual deception in prosperity gospel circles. Nizza warned of teachings that prey on vulnerable believers, stressing the need for biblically sound conversations. “We need to hear biblically sound conversations about this,” she said. “Otherwise, people get confused, afraid to even pray for healing, thinking they just don’t have enough faith. These are lies of the enemy.”
Lilley and Hallowell are committed to exploring these hard-hitting topics further, with guests ranging from former occultists to healing ministers. “I love being able to ask people the weird questions no one else will,” Lilley said with a laugh, underscoring the podcast’s unique approach to uncovering spiritual truths.
Ultimately, the hosts hope their work will lead people back to Scripture, deepen their understanding of spiritual realities, and encourage unity within the Body of Christ. As Nizza aptly put it, “This isn’t a substitution for church. It’s a supplement. And it’s so needed.” In a time when traditional values are under siege, “Into the Supernatural” stands as a beacon of faith, family, and freedom, reminding us all of the power of God’s truth in an ever-changing world.

Young Americans Spark Bible Reading Revival
Faith Facts
- Bible reading among U.S. adults in 2025 has reached the highest level in 15 years, led by Millennials and Gen Z men.
- Weekly Bible reading among all adults jumped to 42% in 2025, up from a low of 30% the previous year.
- While 50% of Millennials and 49% of Gen Z read the Bible weekly, only 36% of Americans believe the Bible is 100% accurate.
Across America, the tide is turning: young adults, especially men, are fueling a historic rise in consistent Bible reading. This renewal of faith engagement shows the hunger for God’s Word is alive in the next generation.
“Bible reading is rising again across generations, marking a reset to faith engagement levels we haven’t seen in a decade,” David Kinnaman, CEO of Barna Group, observed. “People aren’t just curious about faith — they’re opening Scripture for themselves.”
A closer look shows Millennials and Gen Z are leading this momentum, embracing Scripture as a guide in times of uncertainty. However, fewer Americans now hold that the Bible is infallible, showing a new opportunity for the Church to strengthen biblical conviction.
Though many seek truth in today’s shifting culture, these numbers are a call to church leaders and families to disciple intentionally, turning curiosity into lasting spiritual growth and encouraging unwavering faith in God’s Word.

Bravery on the Battlefield and Beyond
Faith Facts
- Desmond Doss, guided by prayer, saved 75 men in World War II without ever carrying a weapon.
- William Coltman, Britain’s most decorated non-commissioned officer, risked his life to rescue wounded soldiers in battle.
- Christian charity work today continues that same spirit, rescuing modern victims of exploitation and slavery.
Remembrance is a sacred time to honor those who laid down their lives, demonstrating that Christian courage shapes both history and the present day.
Stories like Desmond Doss and William Coltman reveal how faith can fuel extraordinary bravery and humble sacrifice for others.
“I was praying the whole time. I just kept praying, ‘Lord, please help me get one more.’”
Their steadfast faith empowered them to face overwhelming danger, showing that one person’s commitment can bring hope in dark places.
Modern Christian efforts, such as the Mercy Centre in Uganda, mirror this legacy by bringing freedom and restoration to victims of trafficking.
Children rescued from exploitation find safety, new beginnings, and hope, because believers continue to answer God’s call to serve.
Remembrance challenges us not only to honor heroes of the past but to seek God’s strength to act with courage today.
May we pray, “Lord, use me — to save just one more,” and live out our faith in service to others, defending freedom and dignity for all.
