Each week we speak with Reverend Dr. Thomas Klienert, pastor of Vine Street Christian Church, digging a little deeper into the text and subtext in his weekly sermon. In this episode we discuss the role of demons within the New Testament. It's easy for some to dismiss talk of demons in the Bible as people searching for an explanation to mental illness or some other unexplained phenomenon. But the fact is demons play a profound role in the gospel and it is inherent on the reader to ask why and what it may say about our current reality.
