In this episode of The Demonologist Podcast, religious demonologist Adam Blai explores the devil in the modern world—and particularly the digital age—where ancient temptations have found new pathways through smartphones, apps, streaming platforms, social media, AI, gaming, and the endless scroll. Drawing on more than 20 years of experience in the world of exorcism and spiritual warfare, Adam explains that technology itself is not the enemy; the danger lies in how it can be used to glamorize sin, normalize destructive behavior, foster secrecy and addiction, and gradually pull people away from God.
Adam examines how temptation can exploit memory, emotion, curiosity, and vulnerability, and how seemingly harmless online content can become a near occasion of sin. The discussion tackles the darker corners of the digital world, including online gambling, occult apps and content, predatory online communities, sexting, hookup apps, and the ways predators can exploit gaming platforms, voice chat, and secrecy to groom and manipulate children.
Ultimately, Adam emphasizes that navigating the digital age requires discernment, vigilance, repentance, and accountability—recognizing that the same technology capable of exposing people to darkness can also be used to spread truth, strengthen faith, build community, and bring people closer to God.
