What happens when AI becomes indistinguishable from reality? In Episode 83 of JT's Mix Tape, JT is joined by Demon Erasers and Tune Thy Heart for a wide-ranging discussion covering AI-generated faces, suspicious media clips, NASA's moon-base ambitions, strange sky phenomena, biblical cosmology, DMT experiences, astral projection, and the spiritual implications behind deception in the modern age. The conversation explores whether humanity is entering a time where reality itself is becoming difficult to discern, and what Scripture may have to say about the unseen spiritual forces influencing the world around us. Topics Include:AI-generated faces and deepfakesNASA and proposed moon basesStrange lights and sky phenomenaFlat Earth discussionsBiblical cosmologyDMT entities and "lockout" experiencesAstral projectionDemonic influence and spiritual warfareNear-death experiencesSimulation theoryChapters00:00 Introduction and Flat Earth Debate02:24 Host Introductions and Community Support04:24 The Double Slit Experiment and Perception of Colors07:23 Update on the Masked Admiral and AI Face12:22 Theories on AI and Masked Figures in Media22:47 Analysis of the Green Meteorite and Sky Phenomena26:09 Discussion on Space Anomalies and UFOs32:17 Sky Reflections and Atmospheric Effects34:22 Space and Spacecraft Theories in Media43:52 Fake Space Images and NASA Deception50:53 Biblical Cosmology and the Firmament58:42 Spiritual Frequencies and Demonic Entities01:05:17 The Use of Psychedelics and Spiritual Realms01:11:47 Conclusion and Final Thoughts02:33 Flat Earth Experiments and Light Warping07:49 Mainstream Science vs Flat Earth Evidence14:52 Biblical Cosmology and the Shape of the Earth22:03 Historical Maps Showing Noah's Ark29:56 Maritime Law: Origins and Hidden Meanings40:20 Water, Demons, and the Spiritual Realm49:48 Secret Societies and Hidden Knowledge01:00:22 The Firmament and Cosmic Structure01:10:43 Conspiracy Theories and Biblical Truths01:20:35 Closing Remarks and Support OptionsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jt-s-mix-tape--6579902/support.Please support our sponsor Modern Roots Life: https://modernrootslife.com/?bg_ref=rVWsBoOfcFPatreon: https://patreon.com/JT_Follows_JC?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkJESUS SAID THERE WOULD BE HATERS: https://jtfollowsjc.com/product-category/mens-shirts/JT's Hats: https://jtfollowsjc.com/product-category/hats/Coaching Program: https://www.echoesoftruthnetwork.com/joinTelegram Group: https://t.me/jtsmixtape

For more than a year, a seven-foot creature with glowing red eyes and folded wings terrorized Point Pleasant, West Virginia—and just weeks after the sightings stopped, the Silver Bridge collapsed and killed 46 people, leaving the town to wonder whether the Mothman had been a monster, a warning, or something far worse.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources and full transcript): https://weirddarkness.com/RedEyesOfMothmanREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode:https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8s2fxtFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Most everyone is familiar with the King James Bible, but did you know that King James also wrote a book on demonology during the witch hunts and trials?

Many believe it was either the cause of a horrific bridge collapse, or perhaps a harbinger of the doom that was soon to come. The mystery remains to this day – as do some of the eerie happenings in the area.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: November 15, 2021This episode of Weird Darkness, hosted by Darren Marlar, moves from a winged cryptid haunting a West Virginia river town to a Georgia teenager found dead inside a rolled wrestling mat, a Minnesota newlywed who vanished from a restaurant parking lot, and a king of England who wrote a manual on demons.It opens with the Mothman, first reported on November 15, 1966, when two young married couples driving past an abandoned World War II TNT plant near Point Pleasant, West Virginia, spotted a six- or seven-foot gray figure with folded wings and glowing red eyes that rose into the air and pursued their car down Highway 62 at over 100 miles per hour. That same night, contractor Newell Partridge of Salem watched his television fill with a strange pattern before his dog Bandit chased two red eyes toward the hay barn and disappeared forever, and the next day Roger Scarberry described passing a large dog's body near the city limits that was gone minutes later. Over the following year roughly 100 people, including Marcella Bennett, reported the creature alongside UFO sightings and men in black, and on December 15, 1967, the 700-foot Silver Bridge linking Point Pleasant to Ohio collapsed during rush hour and killed 46 people, cementing the belief that the Mothman had been a harbinger of the disaster.From there the episode turns to Kendrick Johnson, the 17-year-old three-sport athlete found dead on January 11, 2013, stuffed head-down inside a rolled wrestling mat in the old gym at Lowndes High School in Valdosta, Georgia. Investigators ruled the death an accidental positional asphyxia, theorizing the boy fell in reaching for a shoe, but his 19-inch shoulders could not fit through the mat's 14-inch opening, an hour of footage from all four gym cameras was missing and altered, and his organs were found removed and replaced with newspaper. A second and third autopsy revealed blunt force trauma to his neck and right chest, a fabricated confession recording sold to his family for $1,000 was exposed as a hoax by Sheriff Ashley Paulk, and the case, which once entangled FBI agent Randy Bell's sons Brandon and Brian Bell, was officially reopened on March 10, 2021.Vanishing from a restaurant parking lot is what happened next to Jerrilyn Mullins, a 28-year-old Oakdale, Minnesota, newlywed who left the dinner table at a Chi Chi's in Richfield around 9:00 p.m. on November 15, 1978, and was last seen by her husband's coworker Patrick Melbourne, who said he drove her 22 miles back to a Howard Johnson's and left her there. Her decomposed body surfaced in a Lake Elmo swamp on June 30, 1979, identified through dental records and jewelry, with two autopsies unable to determine a cause of death though her stomach contents placed her killing within an hour of leaving the restaurant. Melbourne, who carried a long record of sexual assault allegations and was later convicted of crimes against a 10-year-old girl, remained the prime suspect; husband Ron Mullins lost a 1989 wrongful-death civil suit for lack of evidence, and the Washington County case stayed unsolved when Melbourne died in 2015.The episode closes with King James VI and I, who returned from a 1589 trip to Denmark obsessed with witchcraft and published Daemonologie in 1597, the only treatise of its kind written by a reigning monarch. In its pages he catalogued the signs of demonic possession, describing superhuman strength exceeding six men, iron-hard skin that could not be pierced, and victims speaking languages they never learned, while arguing that demons inhabit the corpses of the pious and that only prayer and fasting, not Catholic ritual, could repel them. He acknowledged werewolves as men suffering an excess of melancholy rather than cursed creatures, dismissed fairies as illusions sent by the Devil, fixed the ratio of female to male witches at 20 to 1 by reasoning that women were more easily deceived as Eve had been, and produced a work that fueled the European and colonial witch hunts and shaped the weird sisters of William Shakespeare's Macbeth.

Join us for a gripping conversation with JJ, host of the Southern Demonology Podcast, as he shares a truly extraordinary perspective forged at the crossroads of two vastly different worlds.Raised in rural Tennessee, JJ's paranormal journey began with haunting encounters inside an old Appalachian log cabin. Yet it was his time living in Japan—immersed in the vibrant streets of Tokyo and beyond—that profoundly deepened his understanding of the unseen. Blending firsthand experiences with rigorous study of global folklore, JJ brings a rare combination of intellectual depth, cultural insight, and open-minded curiosity to the world of the paranormal.In this episode, we explore the striking contrasts between Eastern and Western approaches to spirits, demons, ghosts, and supernatural beings. How do cultural beliefs, religious traditions, and societal norms shape the way these entities manifest, interact with humans, and are perceived? From vengeful yūrei and mischievous yokai to demonic forces and residual hauntings common in Western lore, this discussion reveals how history, geography, and worldview can influence our encounters with the unknown.www.southerndemonology.comGot a mind-blowing paranormal encounter, cryptid sighting, UFO experience, or any high-strangeness story that still gives you chills?

Bern teaches that the spirit of fear is an intelligent demonic being that functions as the direct opposite of faith,. This spirit ministers various forms of distress, including fear of man, fear of death, and overwhelming anxiety, in an attempt to bring individuals into a state of bondage. Receiving the ministry of fear creates legal grounds for sin and traps people under the "law of sin and death," which seeks their ultimate spiritual and physical destruction,,,. He stresses that while emotions can be unreliable, fear is essentially a decision of the will that acts as a snare to prevent believers from entering God's rest.To combat this spirit, Bern identifies trust in Jesus Christ and His finished work on the cross as the primary remedy,,. He encourages believers to humble themselves, cast their cares on God, and actively resist the enemy through steadfast faith and verbal confessions,,. Bern also highlights the importance of spiritual authority, such as binding the spirit of fear and loosing the individual, while addressing potential generational curses through repentance and the impartation of blessings like the "spirit of faith",,. Ultimately, Bern explains that walking by faith rather than sight empowers supernatural laws to override natural circumstances, ensuring total safety and deliverance,,.

Bern explains that the spirit of fear is not merely an emotional mood but an invisible, intelligent being that operates with a specific destructive ministry. He emphasizes the principle that the spiritual realm precedes and explains the physical realm, meaning that demonic activities often manifest as physical problems, such as "men's hearts failing them" or the manifestation of trouble following a "negative faith confession". This spirit gains access to a person's life through "legal grounds" such as willful sin, doubt, and unbelief, which he illustrates through Adam's fall in Genesis and the disciples' lack of faith during the storm at sea.The ministry of this spirit extends to night terrors, tormenting "pestilence," and the fear of man, often utilizing words as "spiritual seed packets" to take root in a person's heart. Bern notes that fear can even act as a barrier to receiving the baptism in the Holy Spirit, as doubt prevents the "holy expectation" required for God to grant the gift. To overcome these attacks, Bern points to the remedy of faith, specifically the "God kind of faith," which serves as a shield to quench every "fiery dart" and triggers divine deliverance by refusing to agree with the sin of fear.For more information, books, or if you would like to make a love donation, please visit us at: https://www.walkinginpower.org

What if everything you think you know about the Witches' Sabbath is wrong?The broomsticks, the Devil, the midnight orgies on remote mountaintops: this image has haunted the Western imagination for nearly six hundred years. But where did it actually come from? Was it an inquisitorial fantasy imposed from above? A distortion of real folk traditions of spirit-flight and nocturnal procession? A recycled conspiracy theory older than Christianity itself? Or something stranger than any of those?In this video I trace the Sabbath from its origins in a handful of Alpine witch trials in the 1430s, through the great demonological texts of the early modern period, to its reinvention by romantics, feminists, and modern practitioners who know the image was constructed and use it anyway. I cover the Cohn vs Ginzburg debate that still organises the field, the Friulian benandanti who fought witches in their sleep, the antisemitic roots of the word "sabbath" itself, Margaret Murray's influential and almost entirely wrong witch-cult hypothesis, and why the Wheel of the Year is a twentieth-century invention. I also look at where the term "esbat" actually comes from (spoiler: not where you think), the connection between the Sabbath and the Wild Hunt, and what contemporary Italian folk practitioners make of all this today.This is serious historiography made accessible, not dumbed down. If you want the real story behind one of the most persistent and misunderstood images in Western culture, this is it.CONNECT & SUPPORT

Bern introduces the spirit of error as a demonic force that works in tandem with the lying spirit and the religious spirit, forming what is described as a "three-fold cord". According to Bern, the primary ministry of this spirit is to cause individuals to resist the truth or to block their spiritual understanding so they continue to walk in error. Bern warns that the door to this spirit is often opened through extra-biblical revelations—ideas or concepts outside the confines of the Bible—which leads people to elevate false knowledge to the level of divine revelation. By referencing the Bereans and the prophet Daniel, Bern emphasizes that the only safeguard against this deception is remaining faithful to the written Word of God and refusing to exceed what is written in scripture.The transcript further explores the "fruit" of the spirit of error, which Bern identifies as an unteachable spirit, a lack of submission to authority, and spiritual corruption. Bern explains that those influenced by this spirit often become contentious and turn their ears toward fables and false doctrines rather than enduring sound teaching. To combat this, Bern outlines a remedy involving confession, repentance, and the breaking of generational curses before proceeding with deliverance. Ultimately, Bern stresses that believers must "rightly divide the word of truth" through diligent study and grow in the knowledge of Christ to allow the spirit of truth to dispel the darkness of error.For more information, books, or if you would like to make a love donation, please visit us at: https://www.walkinginpower.org

The religious spirit, also referred to as the ecclesiastical spirit, is identified in the sources as a specific manifestation of the lying spirit that operates through counterfeit doctrines and man-made religious systems. These systems, collectively termed "Mystery Babylon," are described as being characterized by spiritual adultery and the use of rituals—such as the Mass, chalices, bell-ringing, and altar candles—which the teaching equates to witchcraft and divination. By prioritizing ritualism and formalisms over a personal relationship with Christ, these religious structures are said to "traffic in the souls of men," leading them toward spiritual destruction rather than true salvation.The ultimate remedy for the religious spirit is the application of truth, which serves as the spiritual opposite that dispels the darkness of the lie. While the sources state that God has ordained the total destruction of the religious system itself, He deals with the individuals within those systems with a distinction between the willful and the ignorant. Those who remain in these organizations out of ignorance but truly seek Christ are offered mercy and told to "hold fast," whereas those who willfully embrace and persist in false doctrines face severe judgment, including spiritual sickness and "pestilence".For more information, books, or if you would like to make a love donation, please visit us at: https://www.walkinginpower.org

Bern characterizes organized religion, particularly Roman Catholicism, as a manifestation of "religious spirits" and "lying spirits" that produce "evil fruit" through deception and subversion. To validate this claim beyond scripture and history, the speaker introduces Bible codes, which are messages hidden in the Masoretic Hebrew text discovered by computers using equidistant letter sequences (ELS). These codes are presented as evidence of divine intelligence, as they were purportedly woven into the text by the Holy Spirit across centuries and multiple authors to reveal end-time events and document history ahead of time.The hidden codes are used to identify the Catholic Church as "mystery Babylon" and allege it has been subverted by Masonic and Jesuitical influences. Specific interpretations of these codes suggest that the future "false prophet" will be Cardinal Francis Arinze (under the name Petrus Romanus III) and that King Juan Carlos of Spain meets the criteria for the "anti-messiah". Bern asserts that these codes provide supernatural confirmation of historical tragedies, such as the Nazi Holocaust and the assassination of world leaders, while warning of an impending "Catholic Holocaust" and the rise of an inquisitional international court.For more information, books, or if you would like to make a love donation, please visit us at: https://www.walkinginpower.org

The religious spirit as a specific manifestation of a lying spirit that operates within all man-made religions, which Bern argues are counterfeits of the true church known as the remnant. According to the source, the remnant is the only true church defined in scripture, characterized by walking through grace and faith in Christ alone without the influence of man-made doctrines. The lying spirit operates through "double deception," where Satan transforms himself into an "angel of light" to appear holy and legitimate while leading people into confusion, bondage, and performance-based religion. To identify these counterfeits, believers are encouraged to examine the "fruit" of an organization and determine if its doctrines align strictly with the Word of God.Using the Roman Catholic Church as a primary case study, Bern suggests widespread infiltration by Freemasonry and satanic influences within its hierarchy, citing various Vatican insiders and newsletters as evidence. The text warns that these religious structures are currently laying the groundwork for a one world religion and a one world government, which will eventually utilize an "inquisitorial model" to criminalize religious dissent. Ultimately, the transcript serves as a call for individuals to "come out" of denominational organizations and seek salvation solely through a personal, spirit-led relationship with Jesus Christ, rather than through any earthly institution or religious system.For more information, books, or if you would like to make a love donation, please visit us at: https://www.walkinginpower.org

For some people it's dramatic, for others it is simply a small whisper. We hope this encourages you that God has a plan!Thank you to our sponsors and Vault Members!Ollie. Feed the Obsession.

The religious spirit is identified in the sources as a specific, cunning manifestation of a lying spirit that mimics true Christianity through outward appearance while lacking genuine spiritual content. It operates as an "angel of light," appearing holy and using the word of God as a smokescreen, yet it establishes the righteousness of man through rules and regulations rather than God's grace. This spirit often results in denominationalism, which creates division within the body of Christ and focuses on rituals, titles, and public honor rather than inward holiness. Ultimately, those influenced by this spirit are described as "wolves in sheep's clothing" who may be religious but remain spiritually blind and carnal.Modern examples of this deception include alleged Masonic infiltration within the church hierarchy and the use of counterfeit rituals, such as a communion host shaped to honor pagan sun gods. The sources suggest that this lying spirit seeks power and control over people's lives and communities, sometimes utilizing elaborate intrigues and deceptions to maintain a religious facade. To escape this influence, believers are encouraged to move toward God's true standard by becoming part of the remnant, a group that rejects man-made doctrines in favor of walking by grace and truth. This "remnant" represents the only true church that avoids the compromise found in lukewarm, religious institutions.For more information, books, or if you would like to make a love donation, please visit us at: https://www.walkinginpower.org

Throw a log on the fire, bring your favorite beverage, and join us as we banter, share some laughs, pontificate, and Thanos snap on the events in the church today—a fireside chat you won't want to miss.Chapter Outline:00:00:00 Opening Introduction00:04:00 Truly, I tell you, no podcaster is welcome in their own town.00:09:00 Prayers stop the flying monkeys.00:16:00 We discuss another discernment walk expedition somewhere on holy grounds.00:25:00 Round table discussion on the relationship with Jesus.00:46:10 Discussion on prayers and decrees.00:49:13 NAR - don't throw the baby out with the bath water.01:00:37 Context vs. Word of Faith01:04:00 The Parable of the Mulberry Tree01:10:24 Final Thoughts

We will focus on the lying spirit and its various manifestations, particularly how it operates through deception to plant seeds of falsehood in an individual's heart,. These spirits often work in "three-fold cords," reinforcing one another to create strongholds; for instance, the religious spirit is identified as a major manifestation of the lying spirit that aims to keep people in bondage through ritual, formalisms, and human control rather than a direct covenant relationship with God,,,. Other specific manifestations discussed include slander, flattery, accusation, gossip, and superstitions, all of which serve to promote ungodliness and distance believers from the truth.The speaker emphasizes that the primary scriptural remedy for a lying spirit is the truth of the Word, which must be applied under the anointing of the Holy Spirit to "put the axe to the root",. Understanding spiritual warfare is presented as crucial, particularly the concept of "binding and loosing," which  Bern interprets from the original Greek as authority over demonic influences in the "atmospheric heavenlies" rather than ecclesiastical power,,. By recognizing the fruits of these spirits—such as the "ravening wolves" in sheep's clothing found in some religious pulpits—believers are encouraged to seek liberty in Christ and prioritize a direct relationship with the Father over man-made systems,,,.For more information, books, or if you would like to make a love donation, please visit us at: https://www.walkinginpower.org

Ancient Roots of Life Episode 42Unlock the secret history behind Solomon's legendary control over demons and the mysterious powers of the biblical temple. This episode dives deep into apocryphal texts, ancient demonology, and the hidden lore that ties Solomon's wisdom to occult practices—showing how some believe he might have used demonic forces to build the temple in just a few years.You'll discover shocking accounts from the Testament of Solomon that reveal Solomon commanding spirits, commanding demons like Beelzebul, and even using rings to bind and control supernatural entities. We break down intriguing details about the demon Orneous, the significance of the pentagram sigil, and how ancient texts link Solomon's power to controlling unclean spirits—raising questions about what secrets might be buried in the shadowy intersections of scripture, demonology, and occult tradition.Key insights include the biblical and extra-biblical stories about Solomon's dealings with demons, the mystical symbols associated with demonic control, and the connection between ancient temple building, celestial signs, and spiritual power. We explore how these stories are supported or hinted at in the canonical text and what they imply about the unseen realm that influences modern esoteric teachings, secret societies, and Hollywood's fascination with the arcane.Why does understanding Solomon's alleged mastery over demons matter today? Because it sheds light on the hidden forces behind ancient constructions, religious traditions, and the modern occult elite. If these ancient accounts hold truth, they challenge what you thought you knew about spiritual authority—and they suggest that much of today's symbolism and secret knowledge stems from these hidden, spiritual origins.This episode is perfect for curious minds, biblical explorers, and anyone driven to uncover the mysteries lurking in scripture and world history. Join us as we unlock doors to the unseen realm, revealing why Solomon's story continues to influence unseen powers and modern symbolism—an essential listen for those who want to see behind the curtain and understand the spiritual roots shaping our world.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jt-s-mix-tape--6579902/support.Please support our sponsor Modern Roots Life: https://modernrootslife.com/?bg_ref=rVWsBoOfcFPatreon: https://patreon.com/JT_Follows_JC?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkJESUS SAID THERE WOULD BE HATERS: https://jtfollowsjc.com/product-category/mens-shirts/JT's Hats: https://jtfollowsjc.com/product-category/hats/Coaching Program: https://www.echoesoftruthnetwork.com/join

Bern explains that demons and familiar spirits are real entities that secular society and even some "lukewarm" churches fail to recognize, often dismissing them as non-existent. These spirits operate by deceiving nations through the family unit, manipulating individual thought lives and leading people into "works of the flesh" such as witchcraft, addiction, and fornicating. This demonic influence is described as a global power that places nations under a delusion, with familiar spirits specifically targeting families as the building blocks of society to sway collective thinking.To combat these influences, believers are instructed to "walk by the spirit" through consistent prayer, scripture reading, and worship, which prevents them from descending to the "flesh level" where Satan can operate. The transcript emphasizes that Christians possess commanding authority over demons in the name of Jesus and must move beyond mere recognition to active spiritual warfare, including binding spirits and loosing people from their control. By recognizing their inheritance in Christ, breaking generational curses, and using the "power of the tongue" to command change, individuals can break the cycle of familiar spirits and stop their influence from passing to future generations.For more information, books, or if you would like to make a love donation, please visit us at: https://www.walkinginpower.org

When we released Predatory in 2024, it drew a lot of criticism. Why would we include an episode where it didn't end well? The short answer is because it unfortunately proves the rule more than the exception. Many cases do not end well. Sin is intoxicating and hard to give up. For Dylan, he wanted the benefits of God without the relationship, and that wasn't going to work for Father Martins. In this revisit of the case file, Father Martins breaks down a very complex case and the bizarre psychological elements. How could a demon manipulate people into lust? Why would God permit that? Why did the demon remain dormant for so long before finally unleashing its attack on Dylan? Father Martins breaks down what dynamics are at play. Trigger Warning: This case file may be triggering to some listeners given the theme of sexual assault that is discussed. Listener discretion is advised.

The spirit of infirmity is described in the sources as a demonic entity that uses sickness to keep individuals in bondage, often through chronic or acute diseases. The primary scriptural remedy involves recognizing that the work of the cross is finished; according to Matthew 8:17 and Isaiah 53:5, Jesus has already carried away all diseases, making healing a completed fact that believers must "take possession" of through faith. Rather than praying for a future healing, believers are instructed to stand on the Word, treat the disease as a "lie" from Satan, and use their spiritual authority to bind and cast out the spirit person behind the infirmity.To effectively minister or receive healing, the sources emphasize the necessity of the baptism in the Holy Spirit, which provides the power to manifest the "gifts of healings". If healing is not immediate, one must investigate spiritual blocks, such as unconfessed sin, unforgiveness, or generational curses that may provide a legal ground for the disease to remain. Breaking these curses requires a specific process of repenting for the sins of ancestors and making spiritual restitution, as outlined in Leviticus 26, to remove the legal right of the spirit of infirmity to occupy the body.For more information, books, or if you would like to make a love donation, please visit us at: https://www.walkinginpower.org

God is a God of relationship and covenant, operating through unilateral agreements extended by grace (diiathe) rather than bilateral, human-style contracts. Before creating man, God first entered into a covenant with Himself—specifically the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—to make mankind in His image and likeness. This original "Edenic Covenant" granted man the authority to rule over the earth, a mandate that man failed to fulfill after falling into sin and relinquishing dominion to Satan. Despite this break in fellowship, Bern emphasizes that God remains faithful to His word, eventually establishing a "new and better covenant" through the blood of Jesus to resolve the problem of sin and restore the original relationship.A primary focus of this study is the tripartite nature of man, who is composed of spirit, soul, and body to mirror God's own tripartite nature. Drawing from the original Hebrew and Greek manuscripts,  Bern argues that man was created sequentially: first as a spirit to walk with God, then as a living soul (nephesh) formed from "fine particles" or dust, and finally as a physical being. The "coats of skin" described in Genesis are interpreted not as animal hides, but as the physical body itself, which served to "wall in" the soul and spirit as a consequence of the fall. While this physical existence introduced pain and labor, the study concludes that a millennial restoration will eventually allow mankind to fulfill the original command to possess the earth in a perfect, eternal age.For more information on our books, or if you would like to make a love donation, please go to: https://www.walkinginpower.org

Scripture says the power of life and death is the tongue. Demons lie. Satan is known as the Father of lies. So what does that tell us about the importance of using our speech in honest ways? In a culture that is often marked by how well we communicate, how often do we stop to consider the weight and gravity of what we are saying. Are there areas of our lives creating spiritual vulnerabilities because of our "sins of speech?". Father Gregory Pine joins the show to share his reflections on how we can and must train our speech to avoid inviting mayhem into our lives. Get some plants and build your special space.

Rising authoritarianism. Covid. Inflation. Wealth disparity. War. Climate change. While every time period is marked by apocalyptic fears, it certainly seems like our current anxieties aren't ill placed. And yet, art and literature persist.In captivating and culturally savvy prose, Ed Simon grapples with the notion that writers and their work ought to distract readers from the dire situation we face in these fetid days of the Anthropocene. In Writing During the Apocalypse: Reflections on the Great Unraveling (Bloomsbury, 2026) he also addresses the wider question of what it's like to write during what could be the last decades of human civilization, arguing that to craft imaginative spaces through the magic of words isn't superfluous.

Are supernatural healings happening today? Science can't prove God was the cause of the healing, but it can show something miraculous happened. Dr. Joshua W. Brown is a professor of Psychological and Brain Science at Indiana University, where he directs the Cognitive Control Lab. He also co-founded the Global Medical Research Institute which performs peer reviewed research on claims of miraculous healing to support the idea that these things are in fact happening today. Today we dive into the placebo affect, healing in response to prayer, Josh's testimony of being healed of a malignant brain tumor, and his own personal experience contending for healing with others.
