Return of the Old Gods

July 28, 2024 • Carl Teichrib

PEOPLE SEEK meaning outside of themselves, something bigger that transcends the natural realm and offers answers to the big questions of life. Surprisingly, in our modern age that often means turning to the pagan gods of antiquity.

Carl Teichrib (ForcingChange.org), author of Game of Gods, joins us to explore the concept of re-enchantment in the modern world, where people are seeking spirituality and meaning outside of traditional religious frameworks.

We discuss the shift from modernity to postmodernity, the rejection of Christianity and traditional norms, and the use of psychedelics as a means to connect with the divine. We also talk about the rise of paganism and the reasons people are turning to ancient pagan beliefs.

The bottom line is this: It’s important to ground one's faith in the Word of God rather than relying solely on experiential spirituality, regardless of whether one considers him or herself a Christian or a pagan.

The Trump Code

August 11, 2024 • Troy Anderson

DONALD TRUMP, Nikola Tesla, and time travel? The 2024 presidential election is already one of the weirdest in American history. Troy Anderson (http://troyanderson.us) joins us to discuss his forthcoming book The Trump Code that explores the strange relationships between the Trump family, Nikola Tesla, and a series of 19th century novels that seem to predict Donald Trump’s return to the White House—followed by chaos. We also discuss the potential impact of a second Trump term, the existence of a deep state, and the role of secret societies in shaping world events. Finally, Troy touches on whether the United States has reached its “Nineveh moment,” an opportunity to repent and turn back to God to avoid what appears to be imminent judgment.

October 7 Was Just a Foretaste

August 4, 2024 • Avi Lipkin

A CEASEFIRE in Gaza will not bring peace to the Middle East. Those who think otherwise need a lesson in history. Islam is bent on world domination. Not all Muslims aspire to victorious global jihad, but those who follow the teachings of Muhammad the way his immediate successors do. With 1.6 billion Muslims on Earth, that still leaves a sizable remnant willing to pursue his vision of conquest. In May, lecturer/author/theologian/politician Avi Lipkin (http://biblicalalliance.com) spoke to the group we took to Israel on our Solidarity Mission. Avi gave us a condensed history lesson, including evidence of the anti-Jewish bias of the U. S. State Department, and what he sees coming for Israel and its neighbors—especially Lebanon, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. The bottom line, according to Avi: Sleep well despite the headlines because God is going to do what God is going to do.

Iron and Myth 30: The Nephilim

July 21, 2024 • Doug Van Dorn, Brian Godawa

“THERE WERE GIANTS in the earth in those days.” Those nine words are among the most controversial in the entire Bible. Who or what were the Nephilim? Doug Van Dorn (http://www.douglasvandorn.com), author of Giants: Sons of the Gods, Dr. Judd Burton (http://www.burtonbeyond.net), and Brian Godawa (http://www.godawa.com), best-selling author of Chronicles of the Nephilim and the theological thriller Cruel Logic, join us for our monthly Iron and Myth roundtable to discuss the giants of the pre-Flood world. We address the arguments against understanding these beings as literal hybrid creatures and explore the reasons why this interpretation is not taught in seminaries. We highlight the importance of addressing contrary views and the need to consider multiple interpretations of theological concepts. Our conversation touches on the role of the Septuagint in understanding the giants and the connection between the giants and the divine council, the interpretation of the Hebrew word 'Nephilim' and its connection to the 'sons of God' and 'daughters of men' in Genesis 6, and the significance of cosmic geography and the cult of the dead in relation to the giants.
