UFOs, Fallen Angels and Spiritual Warfare with Derrick Warfel
Episode Overview
- Most UFO sightings have natural explanations, but a small percentage may involve fallen angels rather than extraterrestrials.
- Biblical tests for spirits include what they teach about God, Jesus, sin and judgement, and the fruits of their actions.
- Practices such as Ouija boards, transcendental meditation and consulting mediums are described as dangerous spiritual doorways.
- Some alien abduction reports resemble hypnosis, including lost time and implanted false memories.
- Christians are urged to use the armour of God and submit to the Lord, resisting the devil rather than fleeing from him.
“You don't play around with fire. You do not want to invite these beings in because they will take over.”
This episode dives deep into the challenges and triumphs of spiritual warfare in a culture obsessed with UFOs and "alien" encounters. Award-winning filmmaker and theologian Derrick Warfel joins Jenny Bushkell to unpack why the modern UFO narrative matters so much to Christians and to the church. Drawing from his book *UFOs and God*, Derrick argues that most UFO reports are explainable, but that mysterious remaining encounters line up more closely with fallen angels than friendly visitors from space.
He points to what these beings say and do: many deny a personal God, dismiss sin and judgement, downgrade Jesus to a guru, and promote reincarnation. As he puts it, "These are not holy angels. They are fallen angels. And the danger is that they do have power." You’ll hear Derrick break down biblical tests for spiritual entities, including the Apostle John’s call to "test the spirits" and Jesus’ warning to judge by their fruits.
Reports of lying, harm, and disturbing experiments are set against the Bible’s picture of holy angels who refuse worship and point people back to Jesus. The conversation also gets very practical.
Derrick warns against opening spiritual doors through things like Ouija boards, transcendental meditation, mediums, or even chasing strange lights in the sky: "You don't play around with fire." He links some alleged abduction experiences with hypnosis-like states and stresses the importance of submitting to God and resisting the devil, rather than running from him.
Jenny and Derrick close by talking about the armour of God in Ephesians 6 and how ordinary believers can stand with clarity and confidence on sound theology in a culture shaped by films, media, and sensational stories. If you’ve ever wondered how UFO stories connect with spiritual warfare and your faith, this conversation might prompt you to think carefully about what you welcome into your life and heart.
