In this powerful episode, Chris Garcia shares a gripping testimony of a demonic attack he experienced shortly before encountering the gospel. Chris opens up about his family's background in Puerto Rican spiritualism and Santeria, and how he was plagued by supernatural experiences from a young age.

On the night of March 3, 2006, Chris recounts a terrifying encounter where he was attacked by a tall, invisible spiritual entity that physically manifested and tried to choke him. Despite trying to call on various religious figures and deities, it was only when Chris invoked the name of Jesus that the demonic presence fled.

This life-changing experience led Chris to accept Christ and begin a journey of seeking God's presence and power. He shares additional supernatural visions and encounters he's had over the years, highlighting the importance of discernment, authority in Christ, and the role of the Holy Spirit in spiritual warfare.

Don't miss this gripping testimony of God's deliverance and the power of the name of Jesus. Chris also discusses his new book 'Fresh Oil' and how it can help believers deepen their intimacy with the Holy Spirit."

Sometimes adults forget how naive children are because they often seem so smart. But children do need parents, grandparents and other adults to protect them, especially when it comes to their boundaries as they seek attention and acceptance. Vulnerable children can get in trouble and even be wooed by those who would exploit them in the dark world of sex trafficking, says Julie Haltom, director of education at The Samaritan Women. Find out more in host Chris Johnson's interview with Haltom in our "Set the Captives Free" human trafficking series.

Sex trafficking victims often carry deep wounds from their childhood. Jeanne Allert, founder of The Samaritan Women, a nonprofit organization serving trafficking victims, shares in this episode that divorce, financial difficulties and fatherlessness are stress factors that can wound and lay the groundwork for a person to become a sex trafficking victim. Allert and Calvin Fanning, director of shelter mentoring at The Institute for Shelter Care, address these wounds in their work with trafficking survivors. Learn more in this interview with host Chris Johnson about how a person becomes a trafficking victim and how the church is rising up to help victims get free of the sex trade.
