629: Killing LaVey

<div>In Episode 629: Killing LaVey, Pastor Dave Bryan shares a compelling account of his transition from a conventional Christian pastor to a frontline warrior in spiritual warfare, emphasizing the intense and often overlooked battles against demonic forces. His journey, enriched by disillusionment with the lack of spiritual power in mainstream Christianity, leads him through a transformative encounter with the occult, notably marked by his interactions with Anton LaVey's family. This experience not only deepens his understanding of spiritual deliverance but also sets the stage for a direct confrontation with the forces of darkness. Pastor Bryan's experience highlights the stark realities of engaging in spiritual warfare, the importance of faith and divine intervention, and the personal transformation that accompanies the acceptance of this calling.<br /><br />The climax of Pastor Bryan's story revolves around a dramatic showdown involving Anton LaVey's daughter, Deborah Joy, which underscores the tangible impacts of spiritual warfare. His recounting of rescuing her from the clutches of the Church of Satan and the subsequent astral projection incident involving LaVey himself illustrates the profound challenges in deliverance ministry. Through these experiences, Pastor Bryan emphasizes the critical gap between belief and experience within the Christian faith, advocating for a proactive stance against malevolent spiritual entities. The episode encapsulates the essence of spiritual warfare, from the preparation and confrontation with evil forces to the ultimate victory through faith and the power of God.<br /><br /><strong>Pastor Dave Bryan: </strong><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Serpent-Savior-Occult-Level-Spiritual-Warfare/dp/150895819X">The Serpent and the Savior</a> <br /><br /><strong>The Confessionals Members App:</strong><br />Apple Store: <a href="https://apple.co/3UxhPrh">https://apple.co/3UxhPrh</a><br />Google Play: <a href="https://bit.ly/43mk8kZ">https://bit.ly/43mk8kZ</a><br /><br /><strong>Become a member for AD FREE listening and EXTRA shows:</strong> <a href="https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/join">theconfessionalspodcast.com/join</a><br /><br /><strong>Watch The Shape of Shadows:</strong> <a href="https://www.merkel.media/stream-now">https://www.merkel.media/stream-now</a><br /><strong>Watch Expedition Dogman:</strong><a href="https://bit.ly/3CE6Kg0"> https://bit.ly/3CE6Kg0</a><br /><br /><strong>AFFILIATES<br />Prepare with Valley Food Storage:</strong> <a href="https://alnk.to/2uG55AO">https://alnk.to/2uG55AO</a><strong><br />Get your Nephilim Blaster 2000: </strong><a href="https://alnk.to/9mnHak1">https://alnk.to/9mnHak1</a><strong><br />Bluecosmo Satellite phones: </strong><a href="https://alnk.to/e769Eip">https://alnk.to/e769Eip</a><strong><br />See Bigfoot with Sionyx night vision:</strong> <a href="https://alnk.to/bEhxr3F">https://alnk.to/bEhxr3F</a><strong><br />Emergency medical with My Medic:</strong> <a href="https://alnk.to/dpr6QM4">https://alnk.to/dpr6QM4</a><strong><br />Black Beard Fire Starters:</strong> <a href="https://alnk.to/4BFcIbe">https://alnk.to/4BFcIbe</a><strong><br />EcoFlow Power Generators:</strong> <a href="https://alnk.to/flvpAQw">https://alnk.to/flvpAQw</a><br /><strong>GoDark Faraday Bags:</strong> <a href="https://alnk.to/5jke3rk">https://alnk.to/5jke3rk</a><strong><br />EMP Shield: </strong><a href="https://www.empshield.com/">empshield.com</a> Coupon Code: "<strong>tony</strong>" for $50 off every item you purchase!<em><br /><br /></em><strong>SPONSORS</strong><em><br /></em><strong>FACTOR MEALS: </strong><a href="https://www.factor75.com/pages/podcast?c=CONFESSIONALS50&amp;mealsize=8-1&amp;c_comms=PERCENT&amp;utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_medium=cpm&amp;utm_campaign=podcast50off&amp;utm_content=act_podcast_podcastads&amp;vs_campaign_id=07a8da85-76a7-4540-8dc1-4e6861f6b4c8">factormeals.com/confessionals50</a><br /><strong>SIMPLISAFE TODAY:</strong> <a href="https://simplisafe.com/confessionals">simplisafe.com/confessionals</a><br /><strong>Hello Fresh: </strong><a href="https://www.hellofresh.com/pages/podcast?page=pages&amp;page=podcast&amp;c=CONFESSIONALSFREE&amp;dm=meals&amp;mealsize=3-2&amp;vs_campaign_id=a3245f09-db2e-4ee8-ad25-8d20ac88e66d">hellofresh.com/confessionalsfree</a> Promo Code: "confessionalsfree" for FREE BREAKFAST FOR LIFE!!!<br /><br /><strong>CONNECT WITH US</strong><br /><strong>Website</strong>: <a href="http://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/">www.theconfessionalspodcast.com</a><br /><strong>Email</strong>: contact@theconfessionalspodcast.com<br /><strong>Subscribe to the Newsletter</strong>: <a href="https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/the-newsletter">https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/the-newsletter</a><br /><br /><strong>MAILING ADDRESS:</strong><br />Merkel Media<br />257 N.
