Oprah Tackles Charismatic Christianity’s Belief in Casting Out Demons

The first episode of the final season of Lisa Ling’s Our America will feature charismatic churches and the practice of casting out devils.

For the show, which airs on Oprah Winfrey’s network OWN, Ling will visit charismatic churches in Georgia and Florida to observe the practice of deliverance, “where faith and the power of Christ are called upon to cast Satan’s demons from the emotionally tormented,” a press release says.

Ling, who has co-hosted The View and reported for CNN, first broadcasted Our America With Lisa Ling in 2011. Last year, in an episode titled “God and the Gays,” she featured former Exodus International President Alan Chambers, who apologized to “a group of survivors of the condemned and damaging practice of ‘reparative (or conversion) therapy.'”
