Welcome back to The Exorcist Files! In this episode, Ryan Bethea and exorcist Father Carlos Martins dive deep into the ultimate weapon of spiritual liberation: the sacrament of Confession. While exorcisms command immediate fascination, Fr. Carlos explains why the regular, humble act of contrition and absolution carries unmatched power to dismantle the enemy’s hold on the human soul.
