Mar 600:54:34Tap to summarizeHave questions or comments? Send me a text!Welcome back to the podcast. Today Bryan and Scott are continuing the series on the apostle Paul and the supernatural world. This is part three of our conversation, where we explore Paul’s understanding of rebellious spiritual beings and their influence on humanity.In the world of the New Testament, Paul didn’t see evil as merely abstract or symbolic. He spoke about real spiritual powers—beings that oppose God’s purposes and work to distort human allegiance. Today we’ll focus especially on the figure known as the Satan, along with the wider network of rebellious spiritual beings that operate behind the scenes of human history.What did Paul believe about these powers? How do they influence individuals, cultures, and systems? And how does Paul’s theology of Christ reshape the way believers understand and confront this unseen realm?So join us as we continue our journey into Paul’s worldview—pulling back the veil to explore how the apostle understood the conflict between God’s kingdom and the rebellious powers that seek the worship of mankind.
Transcribe →Episode 029 Paul and Supernatural Beings part 2. The existence of spiritual beings.
Feb 2000:51:56Tap to summarizeHave questions or comments? Send me a text!Welcome back to the podcast. I’m Scott, here with Bryan, and this is Part Two in our series exploring the world of the Apostle Paul — not just his theology, but the supernatural worldview that shaped it.Last episode, we began peeling back the curtain on Paul’s understanding of reality — a reality that included powers, principalities, thrones, dominions, angels, and hostile spiritual forces. Today, we’re going deeper.For Paul, spiritual beings weren’t metaphors. They weren’t psychological projections. They weren’t just ancient ways of talking about political systems. They were real.From his encounter with the risen Jesus on the road to Damascus, to his language about rulers and authorities in passages like Epistle to the Ephesians and Epistle to the Colossians, Paul consistently speaks as someone who believed the cosmos was alive with personal, spiritual intelligences — some loyal to God, others in rebellion.

Transcribe →Episode 027 Apostasy and the Scriptures
Jan 3000:43:55Tap to summarizeHave questions or comments? Send me a text!“Today we’re stepping into a sobering and often misunderstood biblical theme—apostasy.In the New Testament, apostasy isn’t simply doubt, struggle, or seasons of spiritual dryness. It’s the deliberate turning away from Christ after having genuinely encountered the truth of the gospel. Scripture speaks about it carefully, seriously, and always with a pastoral concern for the church.Passages like Hebrews 6, Hebrews 10, and the warnings of Jesus Himself remind us that faith is not merely something we profess once, but something we are called to hold fast to, to persevere in, and to guard with humility and vigilance. These texts aren’t written to terrify sincere believers—they’re written to awaken us, to call us to endurance, and to point us again to the sufficiency of Christ.As we talk about apostasy today, we’re not doing so from a place of fear, but from a desire for clarity—asking what the Bible actually says, how these warnings function in the life of the church, and how they ultimately drive us toward deeper dependence on Jesus, who is able to keep us to the end.”*
Transcribe →Episode 026 The Humanity of Jesus
Dec 2700:43:12Tap to summarizeHave questions or comments? Send me a text!Welcome to the conversation. Today, Bryan and Scott dive into the profound depth of Jesus’ humanity. Too often, we rush past the reality that Jesus didn’t just appear human—He fully entered into our experience. He knew hunger and exhaustion, joy and sorrow, friendship and betrayal. He wept, He prayed, He wrestled, and He obeyed.In this episode, Bryan and Scott explore what it means that Jesus was fully human while remaining fully God—and why that truth matters so deeply for our faith today. They’ll reflect on how Christ’s humanity shapes our understanding of suffering, obedience, temptation, and hope, and how it invites us to trust a Savior who truly understands us from the inside out.This is a conversation about incarnation, empathy, and the nearness of God—so settle in as Bryan and Scott unpack the beautiful mystery of Jesus, fully God and fully human.
