    Read the description

    Recorded at the 1976 Oregon CFO. Christians often carry Egypt's fears into freedom the way the Israelites did in the wilderness, Evelyn Carter Spencer tells campers at one of the movement's gatherings. She then leads them in repeating aloud, "Satan has no power over me," until the words start to feel true.
