When we released Predatory in 2024, it drew a lot of criticism. Why would we include an episode where it didn't end well? The short answer is because it unfortunately proves the rule more than the exception. Many cases do not end well. Sin is intoxicating and hard to give up. For Dylan, he wanted the benefits of God without the relationship, and that wasn't going to work for Father Martins. In this revisit of the case file, Father Martins breaks down a very complex case and the bizarre psychological elements. How could a demon manipulate people into lust? Why would God permit that? Why did the demon remain dormant for so long before finally unleashing its attack on Dylan? Father Martins breaks down what dynamics are at play.

Trigger Warning: This case file may be triggering to some listeners given the theme of sexual assault that is discussed. Listener discretion is advised.

Scripture says the power of life and death is the tongue. Demons lie. Satan is known as the Father of lies. So what does that tell us about the importance of using our speech in honest ways? In a culture that is often marked by how well we communicate, how often do we stop to consider the weight and gravity of what we are saying. Are there areas of our lives creating spiritual vulnerabilities because of our "sins of speech?". Father Gregory Pine joins the show to share his reflections on how we can and must train our speech to avoid inviting mayhem into our lives.

The first case file of Season 2, "Dynasty of Death", is intense and theologically complex. From the appearance of a strange visitor in the exorcism room to the breaking of a generational curse, this case reminds us that God can show up in the strangest of ways and that we should trust him in all circumstances.
