BONUS: Livestream Q&A with Mike Cosper, Matthew D. Taylor, and Robert Downen

The lasting effects of the Satanic Panic, an Australian exorcism, and exposing abuse within the SBC.

In this bonus episode of The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, we bring you a dynamic conversation between two returning guests, Matthew D. Taylor and Robert Downen, who unpack the lingering impact of the Satanic Panic and the modern evangelical movement, including the events of January 6, 2021.

You’ll also hear from a DDBS from a listener in Australia, who recounts the chilling true story of a fatal exorcism that took place in rural Australia in 1993.

And finally, we take a moment to honor the life and legacy of Duane Rollins, a pivotal voice in exposing abuse within the Southern Baptist Convention.
