Iron and Myth 51: Zombies, Hollywood, and the Bible
3d ago01:18:34Tap to summarizeZombies can teach us something about ourselves. In recent years, zombie movies have transitioned from mere horror flicks to a profound commentary on humanity, morality, and the essence of civilization. With the rise of popular series like "The Walking Dead," audiences have been challenged to reflect on deeper themes that resonate beyond the screen. Joining us to discuss zombies and their relevance to us as Christians, we assemble our regular Iron and Myth panel: Doug Van Dorn (DouglasVanDorn.com), author of Battle for the Bible’s Truth: Genesis, Jesus, and the Second Century Plot to Deny the Messiah; Brian Godawa (Godawa.com), best-selling author of Daniel: Exile in Babylon, the first novel in a trilogy about the life of Daniel; and Dr. Judd Burton (BurtonBeyond.net), author of Interview With the Giant. Zombie movies have undergone a remarkable transformation since George Romero’s groundbreaking film, “Night of the Living Dead.” Initially, these movies were simple horror stories centered around gore and survival. However, as society has changed, so have the narratives surrounding zombies. Today, they often reflect contemporary societal fears, such as viral outbreaks and the erosion of humanity. This evolution compels viewers to confront their own values and behaviors in dire situations. Stories centered on zombies transcend the boundaries of horror; they serve as a profound cultural, moral, and spiritual reflection. These films compel us to consider our core values, the fabric of our communities, and the essence of our humanity. By embracing the lessons imparted within these narratives, we can cultivate a deeper sense of empathy and comprehension in our own lives. Put simply, how far would we go to save those we love—remembering the words of Jesus, “Greater love has no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." Follow us!

Transcribe →Wayback Wednesday: The Secret Government Group on Demonic UFOs
1w ago01:14:57Tap to summarizeIt’s Wayback Wednesday, with another interview from our archives. This week, in response to the new Steven Spielberg film Disclosure Day, we present our interview with paranormal researcher and author Nick Redfern about his book Final Events.First released October 23, 2010IT’S RARE that new information emerges in UFO research, but we’re honored this week to feature a man who’s managed to disclose the existence of a group that’s remained under the radar of ufologists for over 60 years. Researcher and author Nick Redfern discusses his new book Final Events and the Secret Government Group on Demonic UFOs and the Afterlife, in which he describes a secret group inside the U.S. intelligence community called the Collins Elite. Formed in the wake of the 1947 Roswell crash, the Collins Elite came to believe that UFOs are the product of fallen angels who want to harvest human souls, and that radical action — imposition of an Old Testament form of morals and dogma on a planetary scale — is needed to save humanity from a hellish end. Final Events is a must-read for anyone who sees through the thin scientific veneer of the UFO phenomenon. The Collins Elite, if Redfern’s sources were telling the truth, are not Christians. Christ never called his followers to literally conquer the world and make disciples by force, which logic tells us doesn’t work anyway.Sadly, there are those who either can not or will not make a distinction between true followers of Jesus Christ and those who seek dominion in His name.Follow us!X: @viewfrombunker | @sharonkgilbert | @derekgilbertTelegram: t.me/gilberthouseSubstack: gilberthouse.substack.com | sharonkgibert.substack.comYouTube: @GilbertHouse | @UnravelingRevelationFacebook.com/viewfromthebunkerThank you for making our Build Barn Better project a reality!

Transcribe →Boring Aliens
1w ago00:47:56Tap to summarizeWho would have thought Steven Spielberg could make a boring movie about aliens? Spielberg's first major film in 10 years, Disclosure Day, was released Friday to mixed reviews. I haven't seen the film, but based on the reviews of those who have my sense is that the movie is about an hour too long and 30 years out of date. For example, the movie is described as a long chase scene in which the two protagonists are trying to reach a television studio to share proof of the existence of extraterrestrial life. Pardon me, but who actually believes the mainstream media anymore? Spielberg may be showing his age, but pretty much everyone under the age of 75 knows that anyone with the laptop and Wi-Fi could get the same information out to the entire world, faster, easier, and with a better chance of being believed than by racing a team of trained security professionals to a broadcast news studio.This movie would have been received a lot better during the height of the popularity of The X-Files. Meanwhile, aliens of a different type have the United Kingdom rising up in protest after several incidents where new arrivals to the UK took bladed weapons to people of European ancestry. Citizens of the UK want elected officials who have foisted unrestricted immigration on their constituents, held accountable for streets that are increasingly unsafe and budgets that are increasingly unbalanced because of the imported diversity. Also: 100 days of war with Iran. Follow us!

Transcribe →Wayback Wednesday: Interview With the Giant
2w ago01:04:05Tap to summarizeIt's Wayback Wednesday, with another interview from our archive dating back to June, 2009. This week, it's our first interview with Dr. Judd Burton from 2009 about his book on the Nephilim, Interview With the Giant.First released November 22, 2009DESPITE NEAR-UNIVERSAL skepticism from mainstream science — and most Christians — Judd Burton, director of the Institute of Biblical Anthropology, believes that the giants of Genesis 6 are to be taken literally.In fact, he suggests in his new book Interview With the Giant: Ethnohistorical Notes on the Nephilim, that the Nephilim may have planted the roots of mankind’s earliest known civilizations.We discussed the evidence for the existence of the Nephilim, both biblical and extrabiblical, their impact on the ancients, and their influence on the world today.Follow us!

Transcribe →UFOs, Alien Abductions, and Disclosure Day
2w ago01:09:34Tap to summarizeThe world is being prepped for the disclosure of the existence of extraterrestrial life. The church needs to be ready with answers.This coming Friday, the new Steven Spielberg film, Disclosure Day, will be released, and it's almost certain to be a blockbuster. The message of the film, according to Spielberg, is disclosure is imminent. He wants to convince audiences that ET is real, and to challenge people of religious faith to think hard about what that means for their world view. Guy Malone (alienresistance.org) and Joe Jordan (ce4research.com) are offering a free event Thursday, July 2, 2026 from 3 PM to 8 PM Central Time as part of the annual UFO Festival in Roswell, New Mexico (details here: christiansymposium.live). You can attend in person or participate in the live stream at youtube.com/@gilberthouse. Guy and Joe explain their reasons for organizing this symposium, the impact they think Steven Spielberg will have on this discussion, and why this phenomenon is spiritual rather than scientific.

This week, we present a timely interview from 2010 with Joe Jordan of CE4 Research Group about the truth behind “alien” abductions.First released February 7, 2010THE WORLD is more like The X-Files than most people would like to believe. Of course, coming from Hollywood, The X-Files didn’t present the whole story behind UFOs and alien abductions.Joe Jordan is the President and co-founder of CE4 Research Group, an alien abduction investigation and research team based out of Cocoa, Florida.

Transcribe →Iron and Myth 50: The Blood is the Life - Vampires in Hollywood (and the Bible)
3w ago01:36:59Tap to summarizeTHE BLOOD is the life. It’s a memorable line from the classic 1939 film Dracula. It’s also a reference to Genesis 9:4–6 and God’s prohibition on the shedding of human blood. The vampire, of course, survives by violating that prohibition on a regular basis.This month, our Iron and Myth crew—Doug Van Dorn (DouglasVanDorn.com), author of Battle for the Bible’s Truth, and award-winning screenwriter Brian Godawa (Godawa.com), best-selling author of the new novel Daniel: Exile in Babylon—discuss the depiction of vampires by Hollywood, their historic descriptions in ancient texts, and the surprising appearance of vampires in the Bible. Sadly, our friend Dr. Judd Burton (BurtonBeyond.net), author of Interview With the Giant, was unable to connect due to technical problems. We promise to have that corrected for next month! Follow us!

Transcribe →Wayback Wednesday: The Family
4w ago00:55:56Tap to summarizeIt’s Wayback Wednesday, with another interview drawn from our archive of programs dating back to June, 2009. This week, it’s a discussion from 2009 about an ostensibly Christian group that wields an inordinate amount of power behind the scenes in Washington, D. C., The Family.Originally released September 20, 2009A SECRETIVE religious group that wields power in Washington, D.C. and other world capitals — sounds like the basis for Dan Brown’s next novel, but it’s real.Jeff Sharlet, author of The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power, has been following this group for years, even living at The Family’s headquarters for a time. What he found is a group that justifies its pursuit of political power by claiming that it’s for the kingdom of God.Read Jeff’s original expose of The Family, “Jesus Plus Nothing,” at Harper’s Magazine online.Christians are taking heat for The Family from the likes of The Huffington Post and MSNBC. The irony is that The Family isn’t promoting a Christian agenda, but a New Age agenda. See Constance Cumbey’s five-part series The Family and its Hijacking of Evangelicalism.As Jeff Sharlet asked, where is the outrage from influential evangelicals?
Transcribe →VFTB 5/24/26: These Are the Pagans in Your Neighborhood
May 2501:28:52Tap to summarizeTHE OLD GODS are asserting themselves, and their followers are trying to fulfill the demands of their patron deities. Surprisingly, you wouldn't recognize a pagan if you bumped into one at the local dollar store. They are your friends, coworkers, and even family members. There is nothing to mark them as a practitioner of Wicca, worshiper of Odin, or ceremonial magician. Carl Teichrib, author of the highly recommended Game of Gods, has spent decades, attending meetings, and gatherings of the followers of the left hand path. He tells us that not only are these people respected members of our community, a surprisingly large number of them were formally deeply involved in Christian churches—which they left because they had questions and needs that went unanswered.

This week, we feature a fascinating discussion with author and researcher Doug Elwell.Originally released November 29, 2009BEFORE THE flood of Noah, the world was very different.Researcher and author Doug Elwell joines us to discuss the Ancient Near East in the days of Atlantis. Doug talked about a land, nearly hidden in myth, known to researchers as Osiria, after the Egyptian god.The ancient Egyptians remembered that Osiria, led by Athens, fought a war against Atlantis just before the Flood. What evidence remains of this antediluvian world? Who was the god-man Osiris? And why are some secret societies trying to recreate the technology of the ancient world?
