Ep 44 | Sleep Paralysis: Spiritual Warfare or Medical Mystery?

What science calls a "harmless brain glitch," every ancient culture on earth called something else entirely. Rick opens with an exorcist's firsthand testimony that just went viral on mainstream media. The details are not theoretical. Then — a listener email from a church camp that raises a question Rick couldn't shake. But the main event is sleep paralysis. Rick breaks down what the medical community actually admits about the experience — the shadow figures, the crushing weight, the voices — and why it maps almost perfectly onto what Scripture describes as demonic harassment. Same figures, same pressure, same encounter across cultures that never had contact with each other. The Bible isn't surprised. And there is one response that actually works. 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."
