Episode 147: Deliverance and Healing (Part 4) w/ fr. Boniface Hicks
This week, Jake and Bob conclude their series on deliverance and healing by welcoming Fr. Boniface Hicks, OSB to the show. Together, they explore deliverance, not as a fixation on removing darkness, but as the ongoing work of living in the freedom of God’s love. Fr. Boniface reframes spiritual warfare using the analogy of relationships and stories, and how our identities are shaped by our understanding of truth and love. They address common fears and misconceptions about spiritual warfare that have been fueled by culture and the practical role of prayer in helping us find the freedom Christ desires for us.

Key Points:
Deliverance is fundamentally about freedom in God’s love, not removing evil.
Every person carries a story that deserves to be heard and healed.
Evil spirits try to limit our story but God seeks to bring it to its fullness.
Deliverance is an ongoing process, not a one-time event.
True deliverance draws us deeper into the love story of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Spiritual warfare is primarily a battle over truth, belief, and identity.
Love has the power to loosen spiritual oppression and restore freedom.
Prayer is most powerful when it is relational rather than formulaic.
Belief is not merely intellectual—it is lived, embodied trust.
