Episode notes

The Transfiguration might be the strangest scene in the Gospels. Jesus climbs a mountain, his face lights up, and two men who have been dead for centuries, Moses and Elijah, are suddenly standing there talking with him. Most sermons rush right past it. Robby Gallaty wants to stop and sit in the weirdness. Robby is the senior pastor of Long Hollow Church in Hendersonville, Tennessee, the founder of Replicate Ministries, and a preacher with a PhD who has given his life to making disciples. And he says that to understand the Transfiguration, you have to understand the mountain. Set against…

    EP: 463 There Are Two Powers in Heaven with Dr. Joel Muddamalle And Doug Van Dorn *members only trailer

    In some corners of the church, what Joel Muddamalle and Doug Van Dorn argue in this episode gets called heresy. Their claim is simple and enormous. The Angel of the Lord who stands before Joshua, speaks from the burning bush, and accepts worship without correcting it is the preincarnate Christ. The rabbis saw the tension too. They called it the Two Powers in Heaven, and they could not explain how two Yahwehs show up in the same verse. Doug wrote the book on this figure. Joel is the theologian in the room. Together, they build a case that Jesus is the general of the armies of God long before…

    EP: 462 Werewolves, a White Pony, and a 100 Year Promise with Marcus Young

    Marcus Young grows up in a family that hunts werewolves. This is not folklore, and it is not a campfire story. His great-uncle Harold empties both barrels of buckshot into a creature swaying on a log, and it screams, bleeds a river, and vanishes without a trace a mile and a half into the jungle. His grandfather keeps a matchbox of the hair as proof. Then one night the creatures come for Marcus. Two of them materialize in his bedroom, red eyes and long claws, and one turns to the other and asks whether they should take him now or wait. The monsters are only the doorway. Marcus carries one of…

    EP: 461 The Cellar Cult: Bloodshed, Black Rituals, and Cursed Soil *members only trailer

    Where do you go when the church cannot help you? Tisha lived that question. She and her husband moved into their first home, a little 1901 house on Spokane's South Hill, just before their baby was born, with no idea what was buried beneath it. A man was once shot and dragged inside to die. A girl was badly burned. Innocent blood has been spilled on that plot of earth, going back further than the records reach. And something bound to that land, there long before Tisha arrived, begins to make itself known through nightmares, apparitions, and a presence that seems fixed on her and her child.…

    EP: 459 The Rebellion Before The World Began with Dan McCarthy

    Before the world was made, there was a war. Dan McCarthy comes into the basement to trace it back to its source, the moment pride welled up in the highest angel, and he reached for the throne of God. The author of Satan's War Against God argues that most Christians have the enemy all wrong. We shrink him down to a tempter and an accuser, when Scripture describes a full rebellion, a mutiny that has never stopped and now runs as an organized kingdom of darkness carving up the territories of the earth.Dan lays out the enemy's real agenda, why humanity enraged Satan before we ever drew a breath,…

    EP: 458 Singularity, Superhumans, and the Second Coming with Doug Hamp *members only trailer

    Singularity. Superhumans. And the second coming of Jesus. Doug Hamp returns to close out our trilogy on Corrupting the Image, and he goes straight for the end. He argues that the transhuman dream of evolving beyond our humanity is not new at all. It is the same offer Satan has been making since Eden, now dressed in the language of technology and progress. Evolve. Upgrade. Become like gods. Doug shows how that ancient pitch sets the stage for the beast, a returning Nimrod who climbs out of the abyss to rule every tribe, tongue, and nation.Then it gets stranger. Doug reads the fourth horseman…

    EP: 457 The Lucifer Conspiracy with Doug Hamp

    You have heard the name Lucifer your whole life. Doug Hamp says it was never there. The Hebrew University-trained scholar and author of the Corrupting the Image trilogy returns to the basement to show that the word behind Lucifer in Isaiah 14 is not Lucifer at all. It is Hillel, and it traces back through Akkadian to a Sumerian deity named Enlil. Nobody in the ancient world knew a Lucifer. But Enlil is everywhere. The god who splits heaven and earth, seizes the earth as his own, rules the far north, holds the Tablet of Destinies, and decrees the fates of men. Every fingerprint of the being…

    EP: 472 The Adopted Twins Raised to Worship Satan *members only trailer

    Nancy Storm is carrying her new seven-year-old son down the street, tickling him, when the giggling stops. Out of a tiny boy's vocal cords comes a booming chorus of grown men's voices, deep as a hundred-foot well, telling her to let him go. She does not need the gift of discernment to know what she is dealing with. Nancy and her husband Dan adopted twins out of a home of starvation, torture, and ritual abuse, children so hard to place that four families had already given them back. They expected broken minds. What came home with the kids was something far older.What follows is nearly two…

    EP: 471 The Seven Kings of the Antichrist with Ryan Pitterson

    What if the Antichrist is not waiting in the future, but has already walked the earth seven times? In this live-in studio episode, Ryan Pitterson opens Revelation 17 to a prophecy most teachers skip: the one God himself flags with the words Here is the mind that has wisdom. His claim is staggering. A single fallen spirit, Apollyon, the angel of the bottomless pit, has possessed one world ruler after another across history, each a rehearsal for the Antichrist to come. Nimrod. Pharaoh. Nebuchadnezzar. Sennacherib. Antiochus. Domitian. Seven kings, one spirit, one agenda, running roughly every…

    EP: 470 The Night the Sky Turned Orange *members only trailer

    The sky should not have been orange. Glen Smith is a small boy in 1982, awake while his father works nights, when he pulls himself onto the kitchen counter and sees the whole farm lit up through the window like he is looking through a tinted lens. His dad stands beside him, transfixed, and says it gets that way sometimes when it storms. It does not. What happens over the next few hours stays locked in Glen's mind for three decades, surfacing only when an inverted photo negative drops the first clue in his lap.What he remembers is almost too much to hold. Men who arrive as men and leave as…

    EP: 469 Rat Temples, Mormon Gods, and a Death Cult on the Ganges with Jeremy Jenkins

    Here is the uncomfortable thing nobody in church wants to say out loud. The spells work. The witch doctor heals. The rituals deliver. Jeremy Jenkins has spent years studying the world's religions and standing inside their holiest places, and he is done pretending the power is not real. A world religions expert, pastor, and professor, he sits down with Luke and Nate to explain why everything that works is not good, and why that single idea changes how you read every faith on earth.From the Hindu death cult of Varanasi, where bodies burn on the Ganges around the clock, to the rat temples, to…
