Christians Have Been Wrong About Satan | Jared Brock

What if much of what Christians think they know about the devil is wrong? In this fascinating conversation, Luke Martin speaks with author and filmmaker Jared Brock about his provocative book A Devil Named Lucifer. Jared argues that “Lucifer” is not actually the devil’s proper name, explores what Scripture really says about Satan, demons and spiritual warfare, and challenges popular myths shaped more by culture than by the Bible. They discuss whether the devil is a literal being, how evil operates on both personal and systemic levels, and why Christians should keep their eyes fixed on Jesus rather than becoming obsessed with darkness. The episode also tackles deliverance, temptation, the problem of evil, and the growing interest in spirituality among younger generations. A bold, thought-provoking discussion on evil, freedom, fear and the supremacy of Christ. Key Debate Topics: "Is Satan a literal being or a symbol of human evil?" "How do mistranslations and traditions shape religious beliefs?" "Can God’s sovereignty coexist with Satan’s freedom to act?"
