Whether it be from inside or outside the Church, there is always great interest found in exorcism and the demonic. Is this problematic? In the Drawing Flame's newest episode, Dr. Breuninger and Dr. Owens interview renowned exorcist Fr. Vincent Lampert from the Archdiocese of Indianapolis to answer this concern and more. In the podcast, they do not merely discuss exorcism, but more so seek guidance on how an exorcist's experience and perspective can help guide a Christian on the path toward Christ. Fr. Lampert explains that the way to steer from evil is not through some extraordinary way, but through ordinary means. Through an authentic life of prayer and relationship with God and through the sacraments, we have nothing to fear. We think Satan has so much power in our world, but it is nothing compared to God and through simply living the virtuous life of a Christian.
