moving the podcast – interview from June 17, 2014

Episode 29. Matt Mikalatos joins us again, this time to talk about demons and possession, and what the Bible says about both.

“What I’m trying to do is to not be skeptical, or not be naive, or just accepting, but to be discerning. Is this in the realm of what could happen? Is it likely that it did happen? … And regardless of what the situation is, it never hurts to pray with someone.”

Jaime Moran, Executive Director of RAASAP

moving the podcast – interview from June 3, 2014

~~~

Episode 27. If you get a DUI in Virginia, you have to go through the Alcohol Safety Awareness Program before you can get your license back. Jaime talks about the program, how it works and what about her job makes “every day worth doing what you do”.

“You’re never cured. It’s just like a person that has cancer is never cured… The difference is that people feel sorry for somebody who has cancer, but you don’t feel sorry for somebody that has an alcohol or drug problem.”

0:00 ~ ASAP
5:50 ~ What is the Program?
