Does the Bible say there are multiple gods?

Mar 19 2025 19 mins

Christianity is a monotheistic religion. In fact, if you go to Wikipedia’s page on Christianity, the very first line says, “Christianity is an Abrahamic monotheistic religion.” If you google it, Google will tell you that “Christianity is the largest monotheistic religion in the world.”So obviously, if we know anything about Christianity, we have to know it’s monotheisti

Skubala My Bible Says: Scatological Language in the Scriptures

Mar 12 2025 28 mins

Are you ever reading through your bible and then you come across a word that your mama used to tell you not to say?That might happen especially if you’re reading the King James Version. It has quite a few verses that can have you doing a double-take. But every version of the Bible has some shockingly crude or maybe even vulgar statements that don’t sound like they should be com

Casting Lots to Determine God’s Will

Mar 05 2025 26 mins

Some decisions are just too big to be left to chance. There are some decisions in life that are so huge, you wouldn’t dare flip a coin on them.What career you want to have.Who to marry.Which house to buy.Whether to challenge your 6-year-old to a Fortnite rematch after how he destroyed you the last time. These are weighty matters to consider. And yet, you would actually see people

Daniel’s Wacky Dreams

Feb 26 2025 26 mins

How they Prove the Past and Foretell Our Future. Probably my favorite movie of all time is Inception, the 2010 Leonard DiCaprio film with the dreams within dreams within dreams. The plot of that movie is a tangled web if there ever was one. You have to take it nice and slow, understand things one piece at a time, and once you understand all the smaller parts, you can put it all tog

Closing the Gates of Hell: The Authority Jesus Gave Us- and How to Use It

Feb 19 2025 28 mins

In Matthew 16, Jesus told us that those who believe in Him become part of the church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against us. But what exactly are the gates of hell?Over the past few weeks, we have been discussing the idea of spiritual gateways in the Bible. The modern word for these gates or gateways would be “portals,” but that’s not a term that was used back whe

Altars, Idols and Spiritual Gates: Unlocking Heaven and Hell

Feb 12 2025 30 mins

There was an incredible comment left on my last episode: “God is the biggest sci-fi nerd ever”And I loved it because yeah, I know lately I’ve been talking about portals and gateways and UFOs and someone might wonder if I’ve been watching too much Star Wars instead of reading my Bible. But these concepts didn’t start with science fiction; we’re seeing that they go all th

Bethel: The Corrupted Portal to Heaven

Feb 05 2025 27 mins

This episode is going to pick up on some threads we left hanging last week in regard to portals into the spiritual realm.To briefly recap, I submitted the idea last week that spiritual beings, such as angels and demons, cannot enter our world or our physical realm wherever and whenever they want to. I believe there are particular locations on planet earth- which we might call “po

Portals into the Spirit Realm, Higher-Dimensional Beings, and the Gate of Heaven

Jan 29 2025 18 mins

This might be an episode you have to listen to twice.Something really caught my eye as I was reading through my Bible a few months ago, and digging into it has revealed a few things to me about the spiritual realm and how spiritual beings such as angels and demons can have access to our lives here on earth.So I was reading about Jacob’s dream in Genesis 28, and how this location

Is the Church Built on Peter?

Jan 22 2025 20 mins

Was Peter the First Pope?What I’m going to talk about today is perhaps THE MOST misunderstood verse in the entire world today.And I say that because there are about 1.4 billion Catholics in the world. If we were to consider Catholics a denomination of Christianity, then we Protestant denominations are far outnumbered. We who are Methodists, Pentecostals, Baptists, Southern Baptis

The Difference in the SOUL and the SPIRIT

Jan 15 2025 22 mins

We all know we have a soul. That our bodies may die, but we all have an eternal soul that will live on forever and ever.All human beings have a soul. This is something that sets us apart from plants, animals and people who skip the theme song when they’re watching The Office. And then the Bible also speaks sometimes of each of us having a spirit, and we think of that similarly to
