Episode 146: Deliverance and Healing (Part 2) w/ Dr. Sean Tobin
This week, Jake and Bob welcome Dr. Sean Tobin, author and psychologist, to explore the reality of spiritual warfare and deliverance ministry. Dr. Sean reframes deliverance not as a battle to fear but as a process of centering our hearts in Christ. They discuss how fear, self-reliance, and isolation fragment the soul, why the simplicity of love and praise is more powerful than you think, and the proper balance between technique and communion. This is a hopeful conversation about spiritual battle, one rooted not in fear, but in confidence in a Father who relentlessly pursues healing, wholeness, and communion with His children.

Key Points:
Spiritual warfare is real, but we need not be afraid.
Deliverance is not about removing darkness but allowing the light of Christ back into our hearts.
The enemy’s main tactics are to make us feel afraid, isolated, or grasp in self-reliance.
Feeding fear or falling into superstition can strengthen spiritual bondage instead of bringing freedom
The simple practices of faith (prayer, trust, and praise) are more profoundly effective than you think.
Spiritual warfare is ultimately about ministering to people, not fighting demons.
Healing involves restoring belonging, communion, and trust in God’s presence.
Like healing, deliverance is a process, and does not usually happen in a single moment.
God can use spiritual conflict to refine, mature, and draw us into deeper communion with Him.
