When Balaam was asked to curse Israel, God gave a pretty clear NOPEIf you don’t remember the story, King Balak of the Moabites comes to Balaam and says, “I want you to climb up on this mountain above the camp of the Israelites and curse them for me so that they aren’t a threat to my people.” And he offers Balaam a lot of money to do this.And Balaam prays about it repeatedly

Why did Jesus say ‘YOU ARE GODS’ in John 10?

Apr 02 2025 19 mins  
In case you haven’t noticed as you’re reading your Bible, Jesus could be a bit of a trouble-maker. He was constantly riling up the Pharisees and ultra-religious Jews, He was making the Roman authorities uncomfortable, He was known to flip tables and push buttons and run off His own followers.

You’ve been in those boring staff meetings before, right? The excruciatingly long staff meetings. Staff meetings that make you want to go read some Leviticus, just to live a little. Yes, we’re all familiar with a staff meeting.Did you know that Heaven has staff meetings? In fact, Heaven’s staff meetings are where the affairs of earth are dictated. They involve various spiritu

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

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.

Daniel’s Wacky Dreams

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

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.

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
