  • Episode 170: When Darkness Invades
    May 15 2026

    In this powerful episode, Pastor Gale Kragt addresses the often-overlooked reality of spiritual darkness and the unseen battles that many people silently face—battles with fear, anxiety, tormenting thoughts, sleeplessness, and even demonic oppression. Drawing from Isaiah 60:1, Pastor Gale reminds listeners that there is hope and victory through the Light of Christ: “Arise, shine, for your light has come.”

    With honesty and compassion, he explores the nature of spiritual warfare, referencing Ephesians 6:12, and shares real-life examples of those who have experienced oppression in their homes and minds. But darkness is no match for the presence and power of Jesus. Through Scriptures like John 1:5 and Colossians 2:15, listeners will be reminded that Jesus has already triumphed over the enemy—and that His light still shines in even the darkest places.

    If you or someone you love is battling darkness, this episode offers truth, encouragement, and a path toward healing and freedom.
