Episode 047: Fear and The Supernatural

The Bridge Podcast

In this episode, we drag the supernatural and paranormal out into the Light with special guest Christian Mentalist & Magician Rod Robison. As co-author of Unmasking the Masquerade: Three Illusionists Investigate Deception, Fear, and the Supernatural - Rod is keenly aware of the tricks people have pulled down through the centuries. He helps shed light on why we've bought into the Hollywood version of the paranormal, as opposed to what God's Word says.

Unmasking the Masquerade boldly reveals the powerful secrets behind the supernatural, psychic ability and the limits of Satan. Do some people have supernatural powers? Is it possible to read minds? How do psychics get their secret information? Could the miracles of Jesus been an illusion? Should we be afraid of Satan? Learn how to spot Satan's deception and recognize God's work.
