Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, addresses the storming of an ICE detention center that housed dangerous criminals. He explains how patterns of religious faith play a role in this kind of lawlessness. He uses two recent blockbuster reports by Pew Research and the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University to describe the role of religious faith in the US and how it is influencing the behavior of political leaders. These reports reflect how society has divorced the God of the Bible.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, who grew up in Kentucky, explains why the singing of the song “My Old Kentucky Home” at the Kentucky Derby caused him to have a teary-eyed moment of nostalgia. All the characteristics of nostalgia are explained and the role it plays in homesickness. It is pointed out that homesickness can lead to feelings of anxiety, isolation, and depression. Dr. Hall points out that there is a homesickness that is particularly Christian. He emphatically states that if you don't have an inward feeling that because you are following Jesus that this earth is not your home, perhaps you are conforming to the mold of the world. Dr. Hall explains that professed Christians should be homesick for a place called heaven. Can also be seen on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/kAd1D_DrEII.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, and his special guest, accomplished Bible teacher, Dorothy Little discuss the biblical view of “End Times.” It is pointed out that there has been a proliferation of books and videos for the last several decades with many of the books ending up on the bestseller list. These two Bible scholars offer their opinions on why there is so much interest in the subject of “End Times.” The future found in Revelation 21:1-5 that promises God will wipe away every tear and death shall be no more creates a view that God will create a new earth and a new home and society. These promises are why the study of “End Times” creates a nearness to Jesus. When we realize that Jesus promises that he is coming soon it redirects our focus on our relationship with Jesus and away from speculation about the coming of an antichrist and the tribulation. This podcast ends with a prayer for the Lord to give us strength or encourage in our anticipation of the return of Jesus Christ. Can also be viewed on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/y1YpwOB5eQc.

He points out the correlation between the acceptance of these attacks on our citizens and decline in church attendance. He uses recent surveys that shockingly reveal that more than half of US adults believe Jesus is not God. Furthermore, the surveys demonstrate that only 51% of Americans consider God to be “all powerful, all-knowing, perfect and just creator of the universe who still rules the world today” Dr. Hall uses this backdrop to talk about who Jesus is. Although Jesus never said, “I am God” his words and miraculous feats were things that only God could do. Dr. Hall addresses accusations made about Jesus that come from doubters.

Champ the Lake Champlain MonsterThis week we dive into the legend of Champ, the Lake Champlain Monster, exploring over 300 reported sightings dating back to 1609 when Samuel de Champlain claimed to witness a 20-foot serpent-like creature.We chronicle key evidence including Sandra Mansi's famous 1977 photograph, sonar readings capturing unusual shapes, and alleged echolocation recordings from cryptozoologist Katy Elizabeth.Throughout the episode, we discuss theories about whether Champ could be a prehistoric survivor like a plesiosaur or tanystropheus, citing Lake Champlain's substantial depth of 400 feet as a potential habitat. We also look at alternative explanations for the Lake Champlain cryptid, including large sturgeon (which can reach 27 feet), groups of otters swimming in formation creating a serpentine illusion, or partially submerged logs moved by underwater currents called seiches.Patreon: Support Believing the Bizarre and get tons of extra content by joining our Patreon.For updates, news, and extra content, follow Believing the Bizarre on social media:InstagramFacebookTwitterDiscordShop Merch: You can rep Believing the Bizarre and buy some unique merchWant to send BTB something?

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, discusses the origins of the season of Lent. Lent is intended to be 40 days of fasting, prayer and penance. He reviews the symbolism of the 40 days and points out that it is much more than explained by pointing to the time Jesus spent in the desert for 40 days of fasting praying and being tempted by the devil. Dr. Hall also explains why ashes are used to make a cross on the foreheads of believers during Ash Wednesday services. What Lent has become today is very different than what was planned by early church leaders. Many Protestant churches refuse to recognize the season of Lent and Dr. Hall reviews the beginnings of that rejection by the Protestant reformists. The Protestant reformists point to the lack of any scriptural basis for the observance of Lent, among other things. Dr. Hall concludes by reminding the listeners that whether Christians observe Lent or not, what really matters is our embrace of Christ crucified in the empty tomb.

 Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, provides commentary on Pres. Trump's address to the joint session of Congress. He points out that many felt we were watching a presidential figure who has been transformed by the events of his life over the last eight or nine years. Dr. Hall acknowledges that he had a sense that he was observing a believer in God exhibiting what theologians call sanctification. He pointed to Mr. Trump's comments that his escape from assassination with only an injury to his ear in Butler, Pennsylvania caused him to feel that God had spared his life to give him an opportunity to make America great again. Mr. Trump appears to be a changed man. Dr. Hall goes on to explain God's sanctification of his followers. He notes that sanctification is not easy and there are no silver bullets to sanctification. He notes that sanctification is a different process for every individual and can be slow. He concludes the podcast by challenging those who profess to be followers of Christ to realize that continuing to live sinfully is not an option.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, uses the shocking story of a young Israeli family who were taken hostage in the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel launched by the extremist group of Palestinians, Hamas to discuss hate. The father and mother and their two redheaded sons, four years old and nine months old were held captive with the father being released on February 1 and the bodies of the mother and the two children returned recently. Forensic analysis showed that the children had been killed at the hands of their captors. Dr. Hall discusses the destructive nature of hate and points out that the Scripture warns hate not only prevents a person from loving God but also from having eternal life. He uses the story of Cain killing his brother Abel to demonstrate the origin of hate. Dr. Hall points out that the apostle John tells us that Cain murdered his brother because he belonged to the evil one. Dr. Hall notes that Jesus taught to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. He ends the podcast warning that we must resist being pulled toward demonizing Palestinians. Christians must have a willingness to call out bigotry when we see it while at the same time accepting the fact that those who are guilty of atrocities need to be held responsible.

Ordained, minister, Dr. Dennis Hall points out that 50 senators voted against approving Pete Hegseth as the next Secretary of Defense. This Fox news host and decorated combat veteran was the subject of a smear campaign carried out by political opponents, but he did not deny that he was guilty of infidelity in a previous marriage and that there were some instances of excessive drinking. This man openly gives credit to his current wife and relationship with Jesus Christ as the reason that he became a changed man. Dr. Hall demonstrates how uniquely qualified Pete Hegseth is and how the ability of God lives within him. Dr. Hall uses the sex scandals and misconduct allegations of previous commanders-in-chief to put the objection to Hegseth in perspective.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, reflects on the inauguration of the 47th president of the United States, Donald Trump. He points out the emphasis on godly intervention for the new president that could be seen in the prayers of the religious leaders at the swearing-in ceremony and the comments of the new president. Dr. Hall reminds us that nearly half the voters voted for the Democratic candidate and that they will do everything in their power to become stumbling blocks for the new leadership in our country. He uses the questions asked at the Senate hearings to confirm Pres. Trump's cabinet nominees and the tone of the liberal anti-Trump press to underline this point. Dr. Hall focuses on the comments of the Episcopal Bishop Marianne Budde at the National Prayer Service to demonstrate how evil and unbelief can even capture churches and religious leaders. Dr. Hall provides an anatomy of unbelief in this podcast and why believers must be prepared to stand up to the blizzard of challenges sweeping down on Christian faith.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, and his special guest, Bible scholar John Pitts from the Amelia Plantation Chapel address the global flood and the ark. Scientists, skeptics and even some religious figures find their argument that the biblical story of a worldwide flood is a myth being debunked. The biblical story of the worldwide flood includes not only 40 days and 40 nights of rain but that all the fountains of the great deep were broken open. God was destroying all that he had created except for Noah's family to eliminate widespread immorality. The fossil graveyards all over the globe appear to be caused by rapid burial that a global flood would cause. An explanation is given about how the sea floors would have risen several thousand feet and then subsided again following the flood. The enormous size of the ark is discussed, and scholars agree that there is plenty of room for 50,000 animals on this vessel. These two scholars both agree that dinosaurs were present on the ark, and how that was possible. The podcast concluded with the assertion that the biblical story of a global flood and an ark to preserve mankind and the animals is true and accurate.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, and his special guest John Pitts discuss the science behind the creation story in the Bible. These two Bible scholars focus on the Bible's description of God creating the heavens and earth and man in six days. Some time is spent discussing the timeline of creation and acknowledging that God is outside of time. Einstein's law of relativity tells us that the flow of time in locations with high gravity and high velocity are actually slower than other locations with lower gravity and lower velocity. Their discussion concludes that perhaps 15 million years in cosmic time would only be six days on earth. The question of how Adam and Eve could populate the entire earth was addressed along with adaptations that have led to multiple races among men. The podcast ends with thanks expressed for the mystery of creation. Can be heard on all podcast search and viewed on YouTube at:https://youtu.be/52HHTwXJUYM

                             Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, uses the tragic terrorist attack in New Orleans that resulted in 15 deaths and more than 35 others injured to launch a discussion about death and dying. He points out that most research on the fear of death shows no link at all between religion and the fear of dying. He goes through an anthology of quotes from famous religious figures regarding death. Psalm 139:16 reveals that God has numbered our days even before we are born. Dr. Hall makes it clear that God does not want us to be afraid of death and dying. It is acknowledged that it is not abnormal to be afraid of death and dying and that any concerns can be alleviated by thinking about spending eternity with Jesus. He concludes with the biblical promises that when believers die the Angels come to get them and that it's only a temporary moment before we walk to the other side.

Ordained minister Dr. Dennis Hall and his special guest Libby Malcolm, a resident of Paris, France, begin this podcast discussing Christianity in France. The discussion then takes a turn toward the practice of celebrating New Year's Day with New Year's resolutions. Referring to survey research, it is pointed out that those under the age of 30 make more New Year's resolutions than any other age group. Survey research also outlines the top New Year's resolutions and reveals that resolutions typically last less than four months. Dr. Hall then compares New Year's resolutions with the Christian faith concept of repentance. The discussion then focuses on why it is so hard to repent from things that is displeasing to God. Will God continue to forgive you if you commit the same sin over and over again? This question is addressed at length in the podcast. The podcast concludes with the admonition, “Don't let pride, fear, or temporary pleasures of sin keep you from experiencing the blessings of repentance.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, reflects on how Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus, appears almost as an afterthought in the Christmas story. The story of Joseph who is the stand-in father for the Messiah caused Dr. Hall to reflect on the number of men in the US who unknowingly raise children who are not their own and the staggering number of children who grow up in a fatherless home.  The scant information in the Scripture about Joseph is used to outline who he is and why God chose him to be in his role as the earthly father of Jesus. There is much discussion in this podcast about how Mary's pregnancy created by the Holy Spirit put Joseph in a difficult situation. God intervenes and Joseph's courage is astounding. Dr. Hall concludes the podcast by appealing to listeners to embrace the qualities that Joseph exhibited. Can be seen on YouTube at:https://youtu.be/lMko7OqkChY

He points out that many modern-day Christians view the incarnation not with awe and wonder but with questioning minds. He concludes the podcast with five reasons why the incarnation is so important.This podcast can be heard on all podcast search engines.

                            Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall begins this podcast by acknowledging that our nation may be becoming weak, misdirected and in a state of decline as a result of failing to rely on prayer. He explains how very short, pointed prayers can impress God, and that the prayers of Jesus in the Bible are simple straight to the point,  and show unselfishness and concern for others. Dr. Hall uses his experience of having a son critically injured in an automobile wreck as a teaching tool for when and how to pray. Dr. Hall discusses the noetic effect of prayer.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, discusses the pain, discomfort, and troubles that we all experience. He says that we all seem to be screaming, “why does it hurt so much?” Dr. Hall focuses on 2 Corinthians 1:3- 4, which tells us that God comforts us in all of our troubles so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we receive from God. We are warned not to fall into the trap of thinking that our heartbreak doesn't register on God's radar because so many others have gone through worse. God never sees our pain as minimal when compared to others. Dr. Hall warns that God gives purpose to our hard places and does not always remove our suffering. It is pointed out that the root of suffering and pain is drawing closer and nearer to Jesus. Dr. Hall quotes Christian apologist CS Lewis who wrote, “God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pain; it is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world."

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, explores the modern miracle of medicine, liver transplantation. He describes how the organ, called the liver, provides critical substances to the human body and is also the organ that detoxifies harmful substances, even bacteria and viruses, into harmless products that are eliminated in our bile or urine.

The functions of the organized church are described along with the things that can make the organized church, functioning as the liver organ of the body of believers, become toxic Dr. Hall discusses the disturbing trend of the number of believers in evangelical churches who do not believe basic Christian doctrines, meaning today's evangelical church may need detoxification. The podcast concludes with the energizing promise of Christ, “I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” (Matthew 16:18).Can be heard on all podcast search engines and seen on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/wYqxHxChYSY

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, addresses questions surrounding effective prayer, and whether God hears the prayers of those who have rejected Jesus as Lord and Savior. He points out that the Scripture says that God does not listen to the prayers of the wicked. God hears the prayers of the wicked and he knows exactly what they are praying because he is omniscient, all-knowing. But if unbelievers persist in wickedness God will not grant their requests. They pray in vain. Dr. Hall discusses how prayers that are acceptable to God are conditioned upon many things, including using the right words, living the right kind of life, and having the right kind of attitude. Having an attitude of humility, a forgiving spirit and the right motive are essential to prayers that work. He concludes the podcast by pointing out that God lives within believers as the Holy Spirit which means our prayers are God's prayers, and that there is no gap between the prayer and the hearing of that prayer.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, addresses the decline in church membership and attendance that has been occurring since the 1970s. Today only three in 10 adults choose to attend church on a regular basis. And more than one-third of US young adults have no religious affiliation. He discusses how Generation Z, those under the  age of 35, are a major part of the decline in church attendance. It is pointed out how mainline denominations have adapted heavily to modern secular thought, thus abandoning what the church could biblically speak to. Many Protestant churches have also embraced much of the skepticism about the reliability of the Bible and accounts of Christ's life and death. Only 45% of evangelical Christians clearly affirm that a personal belief in, or relationship with, Christ is essential for eternal life. Dr. Hall responds to the question, “Is Jesus really the only way to God?” The challenge of choosing a church to attend is part of this podcast.  Can also be seen on YouTube at:https://youtu.be/BqQkLg5gLk0

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, discusses the meaning of the phrase “Dancing with the Devil.” He defines the phrase as undertaking risky behavior and hanging out with risky people. He points out how the world encourages risky behavior and rejects God, the Bible, and Christianity. The devil is Satan and Dr. Hall uses several biblical examples to demonstrate how God's children have been dancing with the devil since the beginning of time. Every time we sin, we are dancing with the devil and embracing evil. He points out how the whole world is dancing with the devil and that the devil plans to feed us with lies, deception, and discouragement. Several examples show how we are dancing with the devil in modern-day life. He uses Scripture that teaches us that God will not let us be tested beyond our abilities and will provide a way out if we have him in our hearts.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, uses the Apostle Paul's teachings in Romans 13:1-7 as instruction on whether Christians should be voting in this election and what our attitudes should be toward civil authorities, including the thin blue line, our police officers and sheriffs. Dr. Hall explains what Paul meant when he wrote, “Let every person be subject to the governing authorities.” The listeners are reminded that the Bible provides a long and respected tradition of civil disobedience. The civil disobedience that has been undertaken by Christians today is discussed. Paul wrote Romans 13 during the reign of the evil depraved Roman Emperor Nero. Paul's message to Christians today is that we can simultaneously criticize the sins and shortcomings of political leaders while rendering them due honor for the God-ordained services they provide. Dr. Hall concludes this podcast with the assertion that no matter who wins the presidential election biblical teaching is calling on Christians to honor and respect that office.

                            Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, addresses the presidential election and the choices that the voters will make. He focuses on the extraordinary immorality that is being allowed to occur in America. Some of it is related to the open border policies and other immoralities have to do with policies that appear to have been undertaken for political gain. He uses the story of the prophet Nathan addressing King David in the Old Testament as an example of how godly people must confront political leaders when immorality is present. The volume of abortions in America is addressed with particular attention given to the number of babies that are killed in the womb who are over 21 weeks old.

                             Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, explains the definition of the deep state and the swamp. He sees these elements in our society as a modern-day Jericho, a walled fortress inhabited by pagans blocking citizens' pathways to the promised land. He uses the Old Testament story of the battle of Jericho as an analogy. The restrictions on the display of the 10 Commandments in public places and prayer in schools are used as examples of how a modern-day Jericho inhabited by pagans is suppressing God's people. The battle of Jericho is retold in some detail. Dr. Hall concludes the podcast by reminding the listeners that they are in the midst of a battle for God's promised land today. He points out that it is very easy to get caught up and grumble about things that are inconsequential in the grand scheme of God's actions. We face a walled city today filled with pagans known as the swamp and the deep state. Dr. Hall stresses to the listeners that we cannot let our nation become a sinful morass of evil ideas.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, reacts to the mobile abortion clinic that was provided outside the Democratic National Convention, providing free abortions. He points out how it represents the depth of evil in our society. Dr. Hall identifies a number of other evils prevailing in our society and suggests that if these things persist that God owes Sodom and Gomorrah an apology. The things that are contributing to our toxic society are reviewed with Dr. Hall pointing out that when a person acts violently, horribly, or insanely they are viewed as someone needing help. But when the entire society needs help the insane behaviors become normalized. Dr. Hall discusses the role of God as judge and lawgiver and the role of the wrath of God. Time is spent explaining the true meaning of the phrase, “fear of God” in the Bible. Dr. Hall explains how the Hebrew biblical term, “fear of God” should be interpreted as a sense of deep respect, awe, and reverence for the covenants that God has reached with his people. Believers should not be afraid of God because his wrath is reserved for those who have turned their backs against Him.

Ordained minister, Dennis Hall, and his guest Bill Little, church leader at Amelia Plantation Chapel discuss the problem of Christians being labeled hypocrites. They point out that there are some Christians that are just trying to get their ticket punched and avoid going to hell and it is time to invite God to completely transform you. Bible reading is discussed as a fundamental tool to becoming more like Christ and offer some practical approaches to reading the Bible. The role of prayer as the cornerstone of Christian faith is key to becoming more Christ-like. They use long term marriage as analogy to how we must constantly work on marriage to make it successful, and it is the same with God to avoid growing apart. They point out that we need less sleep and more prayer, less TV and more Bible study, less shopping and more tithing, less eating and more exercise, less taking and more listening, and less work and more worship. Don't miss this conversation about achieving a richer and fulfilling Christian walk.  It can be seen on all podcast search engines.Can also be seen on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/_pHTHWN0mns

                            Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, expresses outrage at the mocking of former president Donald Trump's professed Christianity. He began the podcast by pointing out that people's lives are changed regularly by divine appointments. These God-ordained meetings produce life-changing experiences that profoundly affect the people involved in the strength of their faith. The experience of Paul and Silas in jail is discussed. What began as a hopeless night in prison for Paul and Silas became a divine appointment that led to the transformation of the jailer and his entire household. The story of Philip and the Ethiopian in Acts: 26-40 is an amazing stand-out story of a divine appointment. It resulted in a conversion experience of the Ethiopian who is described as a missionary to his people by historians. Dr. Hall points out that every time we find ourselves in the vicinity of a stranger, we should be open to the chance that this is a sacred event and that it is not just some serendipitous accident. The podcast concludes with the warning that we should be ready and excited that God may at any time or place bring us into a position, however briefly with a person that may have a profound impact on our life in their life.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, discusses why people love watching the Olympics. He points out that the Olympics cater to our sense of loyalty to our country, our need to resolve uncertainty, and our desire to see beauty in physical prowess. The history of the ancient Olympic Games is reviewed pointing out that the first ancient Olympic Games were celebrated in 776 BC in Olympia, Greece. A Roman Emperor abolished the games after more than 1000 years of existence and it would be 1500 years before the games would be revived. The Olympic Games embrace the idea that peace and reconciliation can be achieved through sport. Dr. Hall discusses how the French Olympic Committee allowed a group of drag queens to mock the Last Supper of Jesus Christ which caused many Christians around the world to boycott watching the Olympics. As the podcast comes to a close the biblical lessons that can be learned by watching the Olympics are outlined. Dr. Hall concludes the podcast by quoting 2 Timothy 4:6-8 and challenges the listeners to fight the good fight, finish the race, and keep the faith.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, addresses the difference between unbecoming political rhetoric and evil pronouncements and how it may have played a role in the assassination attempt. He points to the apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 12 outlining the nine gifts of the spirit, including the spirit of discernment. Those with the gift of discernment should be providing insight into where evil pronouncements are leading our nation. Using Scripture, the responsibility of every Christian to be discerning is outlined. He points out that the gift of discernment is really the ability to think biblically. The gift of discernment can be destructive and dangerous even though it is desperately needed. We can detect what is right and wrong or true and false when we saturate our minds with the word of God.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, addresses the moral debates that are swirling around in our society. He notes that no matter what survey or poll you look at most Americans of every political inclination, region, education level, and age group say they believe in the devil and that Satan is not merely a symbol of evil but is a real spiritual being and influences human lives. Biblical teaching is used to demonstrate how Satan can place ideas in our minds. For that reason, the point is made that we should not believe everything that we think. A quote from Rick Warren is offered, “some people are so open-minded that their brains fall out. They think they can allow anything into their mind, and they will be just fine. They are fooling themselves!” Dr. Hall concludes this podcast with a warning that in this spiritual battle for our minds, we must acknowledge the existence of Satan and realize that he hates us and hates God. He will do anything to run our lives and lure us into eternity in hell. Can be heard on all podcast search engines. Can also be seen on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/73eWSydIyoY him him
