    Ep 44 | Sleep Paralysis: Spiritual Warfare or Medical Mystery?
    Jul 11 2026
    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.

    In this eye-opening episode of "Strange Encounters," Rick Burgess tackles several growing trends that many Christians are embracing without asking the most important question: Does it line up with Scripture? As spiritual deception becomes harder to recognize, Rick examines three growing trends that many Christians may be overlooking, including the controversy surrounding the Passion Translation, the debate over UFOs and demons, and the rise of modern breath-work practices. Rick explores a larger question: How do believers discern what is truly from God and what is not?
