Worship is my Weapon Podcast with Rita Springer

What if the biggest danger facing the Church isn't outside the walls, but inside them?

From investigating supernatural encounters to his own unexpected journey through deliverance, Billy shares stories that challenged everything he thought he knew about faith and the unseen realm. ---------------------------------------- Try Amazing+ Free: Access the world’s first total ministry strategy from curriculum and technology, to training and resources, free for 30 days here: https://www.joinamazing.com/freetrial 📧 Got feedback or podcast topic suggestions?
