What if the devil isn't a metaphor?
That's the question Paul M. Neuberger opens with this week, and he doesn't ease into it. This episode goes somewhere most "polite Christianity" avoids: Satan, demons, darkness, and the spiritual battle Scripture says is happening around us whether we acknowledge it or not.
The jumping-off point is a real, reported incident. On September 3, 2026, messianic Jewish author Jonathan Cahn was on a flight from Dallas to Newark, talking with the passenger beside him about faith, when the conversation allegedly turned violent, fast. Cahn believes he encountered something deeper than one angry man having a bad day. Paul doesn't tell you what to believe about that flight. What he does say is that dismissing the possibility without examining it through Scripture would be a mistake.
From there, the episode turns into something bigger than one airplane. It's about why our culture will binge supernatural horror and superhero movies by the billion but treats anyone who takes the spiritual realm seriously as unsophisticated. It's about the difference between spiritual awareness and spiritual paranoia. And it's about the masks evil wears when it isn't dramatic at all, when it looks like ambition, success, busyness, or a LinkedIn profile that looks incredible from the outside.
