Would you believe a cannibal man lost his VAMPIRE teeth after demons were cast out of him, and now he preaches Jesus?  Maybe it’s all just a healthy dose of placebo…have a listen as we pair up Pastor Patrick Wandera, from Uganda, Africa with Genealogist and atheist, Drew Smith for an absolutely fascinating conversation.

Our guest, Drew Smith has been a librarian at the University of South Florida in Tampa since 2007 and is internationally known as a genealogy speaker and writer, having written 3 books and numerous articles on the topic. Together with his husband, George G. Morgan, he has co-hosted the Genealogy Guys Podcast since 2005, and is also the host for an all-interview podcast, Genealogy Connection. His podcasts have received nearly 3 million downloads!

He says he went through a period in late high school where he tried to make religious belief work in some sort of way consistent with a worldview based on science and reason, but found that he could not.

Drew is joined by Evangelist Patrick Wandera, who serves as a full-time minister of the Gospel with Deliverance Church Makerere Hill in Kampala, Uganda. He is a much sought after open air and conference speaker. He has ministered all over Uganda, the East African region and beyond in the power of the Holy Spirit, with signs and wonders following. He is an author of powerful deliverance books such as Seven Years in Hell and Soul Merchants.

I’m not sure Nick and Marcus have ever had such an intriguing, nearly unbelievable conversation as they did on this episode.

TOUGH QUESTION OF THE WEEK

If the devil exists, why doesn’t God chain him up in hell so no more bad stuff can happen on earth?
