SEASON PREMIERE: 'Demonic Influence': What Are Generational Curses and What Does It Mean to 'Cast Demons Out?' Mike Signorelli Explains

Billy Hallowell's Playing With Fire Podcast

*** NEW SEASON BROUGHT TO YOU BY: Christian Solidarity International (CSI), a Christian human rights organization that advocates for and helps victims of religious persecution, enslavement, victimized children, and victims of natural disaster. ***

Welcome to the brand-new season of Playing with Fire, kicking things off with a deep dive into a topic many Christians rarely hear about: generational curses. Our guest today is Pastor Mike Signorelli, who’s here to talk about his powerful new book, Inherit Your Freedom. In this episode, we get into what generational curses are, the battle over the concept, why so many churches avoid the subject, and how these spiritual battles could be shaping your life without you even knowing it.

Mike takes a unique approach, drawing parallels between the biological inheritance we all understand—like heart conditions or musical talent—and spiritual inheritances like addiction or broken relationships. He explains how science, specifically epigenetics, now backs up what the Bible has taught all along. The curses passed down from one generation to the next may hold the keys to unlocking your hidden purpose. As Mike says, “If I can help you uncover the curses, I can reveal the hidden purpose.”

We also dig into deliverance, a topic that also sparks debate. What’s the balance between medical issues and spiritual warfare? Are addictions and even mental health issues linked to demonic influence in some cases? Mike, who pastors a large, multi-state church, shares real-life examples of people finding freedom by tackling both the spiritual and practical aspects of their struggles.

Mike’s book isn’t just about casting out demons—it’s about a complete transformation. From healing relationships to breaking free from cycles of addiction, Inherit Your Freedom offers diagnostic tools and practical steps for rebuilding your life after spiritual strongholds have been torn down. And Mike is there with you every step of the way, even offering video guides that go along with each chapter.

If you’ve ever wondered how your family’s past might be affecting your present, or if you’re looking for real, lasting freedom from patterns you just can’t seem to break, this episode—and Mike’s book—are for you. Check out Inherit Your Freedom, available October 22nd, and join us for an unforgettable conversation.
