## Resource

This episode of "Strange Encounters" explores “demons in the headlines,” examining the Epstein scandal, cultural chaos, and the normalization of evil through the lens of spiritual warfare. It argues that depravity becomes leverage, that powerful elites can be manipulated through blackmail, and that Scripture points to a coming push toward one-world control — including the rise of a counterfeit church that appears Christian but isn’t. As darkness grows more visible in culture and leadership, the question becomes unavoidable: Are these events random, or are they part of a much bigger spiritual battle unfolding in plain sight? Hear biblical answers and clear spiritual guidance as Rick Burgess applies Scripture to help believers navigate the spiritual war happening around us in this episode of "Strange Encounters."
