Last night, we watched a series of clips from a lengthy lecture that Pastor Mark Driscoll gave to leaders in his church, Mars Hill Church. Next time, we'll hear from two of our own, a current and former CCF President (Peter Buhler and Jonathan Gardner) about their experiences and understanding, but I used these clips to prime the crowd and contextualize the discussion. Read more for links to the clips.
These were the clips I showed. In between the clips I showed, I've put the parts we skipped in case you want to find those.
Part One: Introduction to Spiritual Warfare
2:30-4:40 Two errors people make: ignoring and reveling

0:48-3:40 The Devil opposes God's most strategic generals
6:00-8:45 The Devil works through false doctrine
The Ordinary Demonic:
15:56-18:57 The Devil works through false religions
Other ways: Bitterness, foolishness/drunkenness, gossip/busybodying, lies, and idolatry.

Here Mark explains how he deals with demonic activity in detail.
14:38-15:18 The person must be self-controlled; don't let a demon take over someone.

Questions he asks demons, with examples. More suggestions with how to do this.
Part Four: Q+A
These were the four (out of 14) questions we watched answers to:
1:05-6:08 Is it edifying to share stories of demonic oppression?
12:42-17:53 How do you grow in discernment?
21:01-23:01 Why don't we just get rid of Satan forever?
32:43-37:12 How do we distinguish the effect of demonic activities and chemical imbalance?
