'Casting Demons Out': Ex-NYPD Cop Has Radical Encounter With Jesus, Starts Expelling Evil on the Streets
Manage episode 408959089 series 3286102
Andrew Columbia was once a New York Police Department officer known by his colleagues by some rather unfortunate monikers: "Evil" and "Ice Man." The darkness in his eyes reflected the trauma and difficulty he witnessed day in and day out on the job.
Columbia would often turn to alcohol for solace as he struggled to comprehend and cope with the horrors he observed. One night, it all came to a head on a New York City rooftop where Columbia screamed out to God — and had a radical encounter.
Soon, the once-depressed and downtrodden cop was on a very different journey, turning to Jesus, seeking peace, and showing up to police calls to command demonic spirits out of people. From despair to deliverance, Columbia's journey of discovering, discerning, and combatting evil is captivating.
Today, Columbia is a pastor in Carmel, New York, where he's continuing his mission of sharing his story and the Christian Gospel. He joins today's "Playing With Fire" to break it all down.
