Ike Barker—writer, esoteric thinker, and creator of the Arcanum podcast—joins us for a cosmos-ranging conversation on his work, modern Gnosticism, […]

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop speaks with Ryan Estes about the intersections of podcasting, AI, ancient philosophy, and the shifting boundaries of consciousness and technology. Their conversation spans topics like the evolution of language, the impact of AI on human experience, the role of sensory interfaces, the tension between scientism and spiritual insight, and how future technologies might reshape power structures and daily life. Ryan also shares thoughts on data ownership, the illusion of modern VR, and the historical suppression of mystical knowledge.

Ryan Estes reflects on how podcasting revives the richness of dialogue, countering the flattening effects of modern communication platforms.The evolution of language might have sparked consciousness itself. Drawing on theories like the bicameral mind, Estes explores how early humans may have experienced internal commands as divine voices, illustrating a deep link between communication, cognition, and early religious structures.AI is not just a tool but a bridge to new kinds of consciousness. With developments in cognitive ergonomics and responsive interfaces, Estes imagines a future where subconscious cues might influence technology directly, reshaping how we interact with our environment and each other.Ownership of software, hardware, and data is emerging as a critical issue. Estes emphasizes that to avoid dystopian outcomes—such as corporate control via neural interfaces—individuals must reclaim the stack, potentially profiting from their own data and customizing their tech experiences.Virtual reality and AI-generated environments risk becoming addictive escapes, particularly for marginalized populations. Estes likens this to a digital opiate, drawing parallels to spiritual ideas about illusion and cautioning against losing ourselves in these seductive constructs.The suppression of mystical traditions—like Gnosticism, Neoplatonism, and indigenous knowledge—has led to vast cultural amnesia. Estes underscores how historical power structures systematically erased insights that modern AI might help rediscover or recontextualize.Despite the turbulence, AI and AGI offer a radically optimistic future. Estes sees the potential for a 10x productivity boost and entirely new forms of work, creativity, and leisure, reshaping what it means to be economically and spiritually fulfilled in a post-knowledge age.

Whether you're a longtime believer or simply curious, this message reminds you that God's perfect love doesn't demand perfection—it casts out fear.Luke explores two life-changing truths from Scripture:God's love drives out the fear of judgment.Our love for others reveals our love for God.Through ancient context, real-life reflection, and practical application, you'll uncover how the love of God brings confidence, heals insecurity, and calls us into a life of active, humble love. It's a message of assurance in a world full of uncertainty—a reminder that you are seen, known, and not forgotten.If you've ever wrestled with fear, questioned your worth, or longed for a deeper purpose—this episode is for you.Key Themes:The false promises of Gnosticism vs. the assurance of graceHow God's love meets our deepest insecuritiesWhy love is more than a feeling—it's an identity and a callingWhat it means to live in unity with Christ and empowered by the SpiritReflection Questions:Do I find my sense of security in the love of God?What fear is God asking me to surrender?Who do I need to actively pursue in love this week?Take the next step. Breathe in grace. Breathe out fear. And allow God's love to reshape your view of yourself, your neighbor, and eternity.Do you know JESUS? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support through GIVING: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠

This session explored major heresies in the early church—such as Gnosticism, Marcionism, and Arianism—which distorted the nature of Christ, Scripture, and salvation, prompting theological responses like the Council of Nicaea (325 AD) that affirmed Jesus as fully divine and of the same substance as the Father. It also examined how Constantine's legalization of Christianity transformed the church's structure and culture, leading to widespread growth, nominal conversions, clerical privilege, and eventually the rise of ascetic movements like the anchorites and stylites. These developments marked the end of the early church era and the beginning of new theological and ecclesial challenges.

This session offers a critique of both the Montanist and Gnostic heresies present in the early centuries of this age.

In today's episode, we recap what Gnostics believe and teach, highlight some of the ways we see it in the world today, and wrap up with how Christians can fight against it.

This message centered on the threat of Gnosticism, legalism, and spiritual deception that seek to draw believers away from intimacy with Christ. We examined how the early church combated these influences by holding fast to the truth of Christ's humanity, divinity, and finished work on the cross. Emphasis was placed on the essential role of the local church in maintaining spiritual health, protection, and fellowship. Believers were encouraged to remain grounded in love, to resist self-effort, and to trust God's guidance within the local assembly.

pWotD Episode 2997: Druze Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 197,037 views on Wednesday, 16 July 2025 our article of the day is Druze.The Druze ( DROOZ; Arabic: دَرْزِيّ, darzī or دُرْزِيّ durzī, pl. دُرُوز, durūz), who call themselves al-Muwaḥḥidūn (lit. 'the monotheists' or 'the unitarians'), are an Arab esoteric religious group from West Asia who adhere to the Druze faith, an Abrahamic, monotheistic, and syncretic religion whose main tenets assert the unity of God, reincarnation, and the eternity of the soul.Although the Druze faith developed from Isma'ilism, Druze do not identify as Muslims. They maintain Arabic language and culture as integral parts of their identity, with Arabic being their primary language. Most Druze religious practices are kept secret, and conversion to their religion is not permitted for outsiders. Interfaith marriages are rare and strongly discouraged. They differentiate between spiritual individuals, known as "uqqāl", who hold the faith's secrets, and secular ones, known as "juhhāl", who focus on worldly matters. Druze believe that, after completing the cycle of rebirth through successive reincarnations, the soul reunites with the Cosmic Mind (al-ʻaql al-kullī).The Epistles of Wisdom is the foundational and central text of the Druze faith. The Druze faith originated in Isma'ilism (a branch of Shia Islam), and has been influenced by a diverse range of traditions, including Christianity, Gnosticism, Neoplatonism, Zoroastrianism, Manichaeism, Pythagoreanism. This has led to the development of a distinct and secretive theology, characterized by an esoteric interpretation of scripture that emphasizes the importance of the mind and truthfulness. Druze beliefs include the concepts of theophany and reincarnation.The Druze hold Shuaib in high regard, believing him to be the same person as the biblical Jethro. They regard Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, and the Isma'ili Imam Muhammad ibn Isma'il as prophets. Additionally, Druze tradition honors figures such as Salman the Persian, al-Khidr (whom they identify with Elijah, John the Baptist and Saint George), Job, Luke the Evangelist, and others as "mentors" and "prophets".The Druze faith is one of the major religious groups in the Levant, with between 800,000 and a million adherents. They are primarily located in Lebanon, Syria, and Israel, with smaller communities in Jordan. They make up 5.5% of Lebanon's population, 3% of Syria's and 1.6% of Israel's. The oldest and most densely populated Druze communities exist in Mount Lebanon and in the south of Syria around Jabal al-Druze (literally the "Mountain of the Druze"). The Druze community played a critically important role in shaping the history of the Levant, where it continues to play a significant political role. As a religious minority, they have often faced persecution from various Muslim regimes, including contemporary Islamic extremism.Several theories about the origins of the Druze have been proposed, with the Arabian hypothesis being the most widely accepted among historians, intellectuals, and religious leaders within the Druze community. This hypothesis significantly influences the Druze's self-perception, cultural identity, and both oral and written traditions. It suggests that the Druze are descended from 12 Arab tribes that migrated to Syria before and during the early Islamic period. This perspective is accepted by the entire Druze communities in Syria and Lebanon, as well as by most Druze in Israel.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:47 UTC on Thursday, 17 July 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Druze on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Ruth.

In this episode, as part of our “Mapping Gnosticism” series, Deacon Jon and Jason analyze the results of a survey […]

The Jesus bloodline refers to the proposition that a lineal sequence of the historical Jesus has persisted, possibly to the present time. Although absent from the Gospels or historical records, the concept of Jesus having descendants has gained a presence in the public imagination, as seen with Holy Blood, Holy Grail a book by Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh, and Henry Lincoln and Dan Brown's 2003 best-selling novel The Da Vinci Code. These claimed Jesus's bloodlines are distinct from the biblical genealogy of Jesus, which concerns the ancestors of Jesus, and from the alleged Brothers of Jesus and other kin of Jesus, known as the Desposyni. Joel continues to peel back the layers shrouding the mystery of the supposed Bloodlines of Jesus Christ. He looks at the origins of the Knights Templar and how their roots go back to not only the Priory of Sion but Rex Deus and the Essenes. He then takes a look at the hidden relationship between the Templars and the Islamic Assassins and how they both professed outwardly their devotion to Christianity and Islam but secretly practiced esoteric Gnosticism coupled with devotion to hiding hidden bloodlines. He also peers into Rosslyn Chapel, the secrets it holds, including Freemasonic treasures along with the Holy Grail. Finally, Joel lays out the Gnostic blueprint for hiding the genealogy of Jesus and Mary Magdalene and what became of their purported children.

June 28th, 2025 - The New Age movement is extremely popular right now, but it has roots in an ancient heresy called Gnosticism.

What does it mean to walk in the fullness of Christ? This episode explored our deep connection to Jesus as the head of the Church and the warning against false teachings like legalism and Gnosticism. Listeners were encouraged to stay rooted in Christ, make Him the priority in every area, and embrace gratitude—even in hard times. Through a renewed relationship with Jesus, we find strength, freedom, and true life.

After all the deep truths covered in 1 John, we see an added “P.S.” in John’s following epistles. Pastor Greg Laurie shares they’re filled with love, warning, and encouragement. Notes: Focus verse - 2 John 1 2nd and 3rd John are filled with love, warning and encouragement. We can find comfort in God’s Word—His ultimate love letter to us. 1st John was written to give assurance to believers.(1 John 5:13) The Bible promises, “He who began a good work in you will complete it.”(Philippians 1:6) Salvation is God’s work from beginning to end. It’s not based on how you feel, it’s based on what Jesus did. John was refuting something called Gnosticism. Gnostics did not believe that God came into this world and walked among us. “If a person claiming to be a prophet acknowledges that Jesus Christ came in a real body, that person has the Spirit of God.”(1 John 4:2) To be a Christian, you must believe that Jesus was born of a virgin and was God among us; that He was fully God and fully man and He died on the cross for our sins, and He bodily rose three days later and will come again. 1 John can be divided into three sections:1. God is Light (1 John 1:1–2:2)2. God is Love (1 John 2:3–4:21)3. God is Life (1 John 5) Read: 2 John 1:1–3 1. God wants us to walk in truth and love. Truth without love is harsh. Love without truth is hollow. Truth anchors us while love moves us.Truth gives us the message; love gives us the method. Love is obeying the Lord. 2. When we walk in truth and love the devil will be opposing us.(2 John 1:7–8) John has warned us about both Antichrist and Antichrists. 3. God cares about every area of your life.(3 John 1:1–2) “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.”(3 John 1:2) God does want us to prosper, but what is Biblical prosperity?In short, it is knowing and walking with God and bringing forth spiritual fruit. God can and will bless you with wealth, but with that wealth comes responsibility.(1 Timothy 6:17–18) If you are blessed financially that’s not a sin, it’s a stewardship. “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.”(3 John 1:2) God does not heal everyone, but He does still heal today. 4. Coming to Christ is life-changing; continuing with Christ is life-sustaining.(3 John 1:3–4) “I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.”(3 John 1:4) “A good character is the best tombstone. Those who love you and were helped by you will remember you, so carve your name on hearts, not marble.” —C.H. Spurgeon 5. God’s people should underwrite God’s work.(3 John 1:5–8) It pleases God when we support God’s Word financially.(3 John 1:6) We should not have a discomfort talking or hearing about giving.The Bible speaks more about giving than prayer or faith. There are over 2,000 verses on the topic of money, possessions, and giving. Giving is not just about finances, it’s a test of trust and obedience to God. We share in the reward when we invest our money. 6. There are real and fake believers in the church.(3 John 1:9–11) Ultimately, it is God who will sort out the real and the counterfeit. 7. Be a Demetrius not a Diotrephes.(3 John 1:9, 12) Demetrius v. DiotrephesHad a good testimony. Had a poor testimony.Respected by all. Rebuked by John for being divisive and proud.Welcoming and faithful. Kicked people out of the church and drove them away. 1. Walk in truth and love.2. Support God’s people and God’s work.3. Be a bridge-builder, not a bridge-burner.4. Leave a godly legacy.5. Don’t be a Diotrephes, be a Demetrius.

The early Pietists were influenced by Gnostic dualistic ideas of the ancient Greeks. All Greek thought was essentially dualistic, but Gnosticism was radically Platonic and became a thorn in the side of the church in its early centuries. Its influence continued in one way or another in Western thought through the Middle Ages eventually affecting the worldview of those who became Pietists.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >HereHere

How do you interpret the spiritual visions seers see? In this episode, Doug Overmyer is joined by Emily Dixon of Faith and Other Oddities to explore practical and biblical methods for understanding supernatural encounters. Drawing from Chapter 10 of the book Seers See, we unpack the Pillars of Interpretation — filters like the New Covenant, the Kingdom of God, the Now/Not Yet framework, and Holy Spirit guidance. Using examples from Jeremiah and Ezekiel, we show how different prophets saw the same truth through their unique personalities—just like modern seers today. From prophetic themes of collapse to cultural confusion and spiritual warfare, we discuss how to discern truth from fear, symbols from over-interpretation, and what it means to "pilot like Jesus."This is a deeply personal and theological conversation about how to wisely discern supernatural visions in light of Scripture, Holy Spirit, and God's purposes. We also touch on false teachings rooted in Gnosticism, modern identity confusion, and why seers often struggle with both heaven and earth. Whether you're a Christian exploring the supernatural or a seer navigating your gift, this episode will equip you to better interpret what you see—and live out your calling with clarity and courage.

Have you ever wondered about the nature of mystical experiences? We often hear stories of blissful, heavenly visions, but what […]

The word “heretic” gets bandied about online so much these days that it has become almost meaningless, but it remains an important theological concept with serious implications for the life of the church.   In this unexpectedly sobering Trivia Challenge, Rachel quizzes Erin and Sarah on the meanings and history of major heresies in the church, from Gnosticism to modernism and beyond.  What even is “heresy,” anyway? Where is heresy mentioned in the Bible? How were the ecumenical creeds specifically formulated to combat heresy? What are good and bad ways to respond to heresy in the church? And is heresy still something we actually struggle with today?   Resources referenced in this episode include the following:   Journey through Church History: Student Book - Concordia Publishing House (highly recommended for families and educators!)  Journey through Church History: Leader Guide - Concordia Publishing House  Lutheran Witness: May 2025 – The Lutheran Witness: Councils and Conventions  Lutheran Witness: August 2023 – The Lutheran Witness: Heresies Ancient and Modern  Other sources mentioned include:  Jakob Wendesten (@jakobwendesten) | TikTok  HETERODOX Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster  DOXOLOGY Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster  36 Bible verses about Heresies  Arianism | Definition, History, Christology, & Controversy | Britannica  Bishop Nicholas Loses His Cool ::: St. Nicholas Center  Did St. Nicholas punch Arius at the Council of Nicaea?  Ecumenical council - Wikipedia  Albigensian Crusade - Wikipedia  Gnosticism | Definition, Texts, Movements, & Influence | Britannica  Connect with the Lutheran Ladies on social media in The Lutheran Ladies' Lounge Facebook discussion group (facebook.com/groups/LutheranLadiesLounge) and on Instagram @lutheranladieslounge.

Welcome back to Restoring the Soul with Michael John Cusick. In today's episode, Michael sits down with Tara Owens, author of Embracing the Body: Finding God in Our Flesh and Bone, for a rich conversation about the intersection of faith, embodiment, and the profound ways our physical selves connect us to God. Together, they explore how centuries of Christian teaching have shaped our views of the body, often separating the spiritual from the physical, and what it looks like to reclaim embodied living as part of spiritual wholeness.Tara shares deeply from her own story, reflecting on the journey toward befriending her body, wrestling with illness, and moving beyond inherited theologies that diminish the goodness of our physicality. Michael and Tara discuss the ongoing relevance of Jesus's embodiment—his exhaustion, pain, and friendships—and how this shapes our understanding of being human and spiritual.Touching on themes like Gnosticism, church history, touch deprivation in our society, and the real-life struggles of finding God amid physical limitations, this episode is a vulnerable invitation to embrace the sacredness of our skin and bones.Whether you're curious about embodiment, recovering from damaging messages about your body, or simply longing for a deeper spiritual connection, this conversation illuminates the wholeness available when we find God not despite our bodies but through them. Plus, Tara offers insights into her ministry, Anam Cara, and the role of spiritual direction in nurturing soulful friendship with God.Support the showENGAGE THE RESTORING THE SOUL PODCAST:- Follow us on YouTube - Tweet us at @michaeljcusick and @PodcastRTS- Like us on Facebook- Follow us on Instagram & Twitter- Follow Michael on Twitter- Email us at info@restoringthesoul.com Thanks for listening!

Greg and Cory delve into the radical Christian teaching of the physical resurrection of the body, a cornerstone of Catholic eschatology that sets Christianity apart from other worldviews. They explore how the resurrection restores humanity to God's original design in Genesis, uniting body and soul as seen in Christ's own resurrection. Contrasting this with prevalent cultural and religious ideas—like Gnosticism or modern transhumanism—that prioritize escaping the physical, they highlight why the body matters to God's redemptive plan. Drawing from Scripture and tradition, they discuss how the incarnation necessitated a physical savior to heal our flesh, making the resurrection central to the Gospel. The conversation also touches on how Catholicism's sacramental nature reflects this truth, celebrating the material world God created. Join them for a thought-provoking look at why the resurrection is not just a future hope but a transformative reality shaping our faith today.

Enjoy this special show where we took calls via phone and chat room. From the nature of Yawhe to the promise of Sophia, we covered a lot of ground. I was joined by all my wingmen, as well as my GenX Wasteland sidekick, Dr. Ray Taylor, who provided his unique take on esoteric Christianity. I've delivered plenty of news, but the audience had some incredible takes on Gnosis and Gnosticism. It was relaxed, fun, and incendiary, a Gnostic Festivus of sorts.

Darkness Radio Presents: The Occult Elvis: The Mystical and Magical Life of the King with Podcaster/Author Miguel Connor! Writer and researcher Miguel Conner reveals how Elvis was a profound mystic, occultist, and shaman. Beginning with the unusual circumstances of his birth—and his stillborn twin brother—Conner traces the diverse thread of mysticism that runs through Elvis Presley's life, drawing on firsthand accounts from the people closest to him, including his wife, Priscilla, the Memphis Mafia, and his spiritual advisors.  Conner argues that Elvis was well-versed in the esoteric practices of sex magic, meditation, astrology, and numerology and had a deep familiarity with Kabbalah, Gnosticism, Theosophy, and Eastern traditions. He also reveals how Elvis was a natural healer, telekinetic, psychic, and astral traveler who had significant mystical experiences and UFO encounters. Looking at the conspiratorial and paranormal aspects of Elvis's life, the author explores the "Elvis visitations" that have occurred since the King's death and the general high weirdness of his life. As Conner convincingly argues, Elvis was not just a one-of-a-kind rock-and-roller. He was the greatest magician America ever produced. On Today's Show, We talk to Miguel about whether Elvis was always destined to become who he was, what shaped his spirituality. some of the occult practices Elvis got into, and his abilities... and some of the appearances Elvis made... after he died!

June 8th, 2025 | The Love of God | 1 John 1:5-2:6What does your relationship with sin reveal about your relationship with God?In week 2 of our summer series, Pastor Todd Kaunitz unpacks 1 John 1:5–2:6 to show how our daily engagement with sin—whether through denial, indulgence, or confession—reflects the state of our walk with God. Drawing connections between the early church's battle with Gnosticism and modern spiritual struggles, Pastor Todd calls us to examine whether we're walking in the light or living in deception.You'll hear how true fellowship with God produces holiness, how confession leads to cleansing, and how Jesus stands as our advocate even when we fall short. This is a message of both conviction and hope—reminding us that the goal isn't perfection, but a life marked by repentance, obedience, and transformation through Christ.Key Themes:The inconsistency of claiming Christ while walking in darknessThe freedom found in confession and graceFellowship with other believers as a reflection of our walk with JesusObedience as evidence of truly knowing GodJesus as our advocate and atonementWhether you're a long-time believer or still wrestling with your faith, this episode will challenge you to reflect deeply—and walk more faithfully.Do you know JESUS?: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nblongview.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER?: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nblongview.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT through giving: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠⁠

God is bigger than whatever you're facing in life right now. But not only is He all-powerful, but very loving. In this message, Pastor Greg Laurie teaches on God's deep love for you, faith in the storm, and much more. Notes: Focus verse - 1 John 4 There will be more false prophets and false messiahs in the last days. “Don’t believe every spirit. Test them, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.”1 John 4:1 The bible speaks of the spiritual battle we are engaged in. The bible tells us, “To take up the whole armor of God.” Hebrews 13:2 Read 1 John 4:1–3 #1 We are in a spiritual war. Antichrist will be a real person, a world leader; he will deceive the world. John was refuting Gnosticism. Gnostics believed salvation came through “hidden spiritual knowledge,” not Christ. To be a Christian, you must believe that Jesus was born of a virgin and was God among us.He was fully God and fully man and He died on the cross for our sins.He bodily rose again three days later, and He will come again. The purpose of 1 John was so we could know God,and so you could know you have eternal life. I have written this to you who believe in the name of the Son of God,so that you may know you have eternal life.1 John 5:13 (NLT) John uses the word ginosko for 'know'.John is saying, “there is no secret knowledge, you can know this now.” #2 God is bigger and greater than everyone and everything.1 John 4:4 God is greater than Satan, greater than sin, greater than your problem. A. Moses at the Red SeaGod said, “I will fight for you, you need only to be still.”Exodus 14:14 B. David and GoliathGoliath was big, but God was bigger. C. The disciples on the Sea of GalileeJesus was bigger than the storm. #3 If we really know God, we will love others.1 John 4:7–11 #1 God is light.1 John 1:1–2:2 #2 God is love.1 John 2:3–4:21 #3 God is life.1 John 5 Light and love are inseparable, as are truth and grace. Light exposes darkness.Love reaches out to the people in darkness. #4 God’s love is greater than our worst fears.I John 4:18 This is simply having the confidence that you are loved and forgiven by God.He lovingly will guide your life and one day welcome you to heaven. If you are living in fear, especially fear of judgement,you have not yet grasped what it is to be loved by God. Jesus absorbed God’s wrath for you. #5 God will never stop loving you.Romans 8:38–39 Fears change with the passing of time. God has something to say to us at every stage of life. #6 Our love for God is a response to God’s love for us.1 John 4:19 God’s love is what draws us to Him. We’re remembering that love moved in, and fear had to move out. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.

Colossians 2:8 — What robs a Christian of joy? In this sermon on Colossians 2:8 titled “The Danger of Error,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones highlights error and heresy as contributors to a joyless life. These thieves demand knowledge beyond what God has revealed, and leave the Christian feeling empty and hollow. Listen as Dr. Lloyd-Jones explores the ancient heresy known as Gnosticism, relating it and applying it today. This counterfeit religion must be fought against, and error must be avoided. Dr. Lloyd-Jones provides practical advice on how to avoid such heresy and, in doing so, highlights heresies of his own day. Certain characteristics are woven throughout religious falsehoods which, when understood, alert Christians of their error. Countering these hollow philosophies, the believer must beware of the lust of the mind and be content with what God has revealed in His word. Anything that goes beyond the Scriptures simply puffs up one's mind instead of exalting Christ. While there is certainly an initial thrill, heresy and error leave the person joyless and empty. Joy comes not from philosophy, but from Christ. The fight for joy is therefore a fight to exalt Christ. Christ is supreme and true.

Was Elvis Presley more than just the King of Rock 'n' Roll? Jim welcomes Miguel Conner, author of the new book The Occult Elvis. Together, they explore Elvis's lifelong fascination with spirituality, mysticism, and the paranormal. From his personal experiences to his interest in metaphysics, UFOs, and ancient symbols, this conversation dives deep into the hidden, esoteric side of the iconic performer. Miguel shares how Elvis saw himself as a healer and seeker — not just a celebrity — and how his story intertwines with themes of Gnosticism, shamanism, and cosmic destiny. Whether you're a fan of the King, a student of the occult, or just curious about the unexplored corners of pop culture history, this is one interview you won't want to miss.
