What is this episode of NAR to Christ about?

This episode features Dawn Hill carefully evaluating Isaiah Saldivar’s deliverance teaching in light of Scripture, highlighting areas where it departs from biblical truth and pointing listeners back to the sufficiency of Christ and His finished work.

Why does Dawn Hill address Isaiah Saldivar’s deliverance teaching?

Dawn addresses Isaiah Saldivar’s deliverance teaching because many women and families have written to her about the confusion, fear, and relational damage that can come from unbiblical deliverance practices. This episode aims to bring clarity, comfort, and a biblical framework for testing such teaching.

Does this episode teach that Christians can be demon-possessed?

No. Dawn argues from Scripture that born-again believers, sealed by the Holy Spirit, are not demon-possessed. She explains that the core problem is human sin, not indwelling demons in Christians, and that the true solution is the gospel of Jesus Christ, not repeated deliverance sessions.

What is the biblical solution to spiritual bondage according to this episode?

The episode emphasizes that the real solution to spiritual bondage is the biblical gospel: the life, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ for sinners. Dawn encourages listeners to rest in Christ’s finished work, the sufficiency of Scripture, and the ongoing sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit.

Who is this episode especially intended to help?

This episode is especially intended to help those coming out of NAR-style deliverance contexts, as well as family members and friends who are trying to understand these teachings and lovingly engage those caught up in them with biblical truth and discernment.
