In this gripping episode of Into the Supernatural, hosts Billy Hallowell and Jen Lilley sit down with Nigerian pastor and journalist Hassan John, a man who has survived Boko Haram ambushes, military gunfire, church attacks, and raids by Islamist militias in northern and central Nigeria. Hassan has walked through villages with mass graves, presided over more funerals than he can count, and documented atrocities the world rarely sees. Yet woven through the horror are unmistakable encounters with God: A “chance” encounter at a village church gate that likely saved his life from a deadly ambush Soldiers inexplicably allowing him to pass as villages burned behind him A mysterious “doctor” who appears out of nowhere to extract a bullet and vanish Hassan calls them miracles. Together, we pull back the curtain on the spiritual side of persecution. This isn’t about politics. It’s demonic evil versus the Kingdom of God—and our brothers and sisters are standing in the middle of that war zone.
