Who is the armor of God for and why do we need it? These questions seem to have fairly apparent answers but I assure you they don't. Often times we conceptualize the armor of God separately from the context it's written in, when we do this we miss out on the richness of God's grace and the importance of working within a community of Jesus' followers.

In the discussion of marriage roles, the conversation often focuses solely on the part of the wife and its perceived unfairness. However, biblically speaking that is not the case. God's duty to husbands within marriage is immense and for good reason. Join me as we look at the role that husbands are commanded to play within marriage and discover the immense love that Jesus has for his church.

The Book of 1st Enoch has caused controversy among scholars and believers for centuries. While some argue that it should be included in the canon of scripture, others consider it outright heresy. Your Church Friends decided to delve into this controversy and explore the book's contents. The journey begins with an examination of Enoch's character in the Bible and what God's Word says about him. From there, we will analyze the various sections of the Book of Enoch and their dates of origin. Finally, we will delve into the first eight chapters, including the most famous section, the Book of the Watchers. This is just the Beginning Journey into the Controversial 1st Enoch.

There is an everlasting debate in our culture about roles within marriage. There is also an ongoing debate in theological circles about scriptures stance on the roles in marriage. This topic should not be avoided, because the implications play a crucial role in the family structure which is the foundation of a functioning society. Lets take a look at what scripture has to say about the roles in marriage as well as debunk some of the most popular misunderstandings that we hear today.

Over 2500 years ago the prophet Daniel was given multiple visions about the end of days and all the history that would lead up to the return of Christ. It is profound to think that so much valuable information can be contained in just one book of the bible, yet this is indeed true for the book of Daniel. One such vision that Daniel received was a specific prophecy regarding the life and ministry of Jesus. This prophecy, called "The 70 weeks prophecy," is well known and studied in many circles. But there are multiple views on what this prophecy means, and how you interpret this vision can lead to drastic consequences in your end times views. Because the book of Revelation builds off of what Daniel wrote, how one understands the book of Daniel is the key that unlocks all other end times prophecies and understanding. In this episode we will take a deep dive into this 70 weeks prophecy and see just how profound it really is. Using history and scripture as our guide we will see the sovereign power of God at work throughout time, and what that means for us living in these final moments before Christ's return.

Ghost stories often revolve around spirits who are stuck in some sort of supernatural trauma loop. This week we bring on two listeners who encountered the White Lady Ghost. The Woman in White is often said to be a victim of love gone wrong or somehow tragically lost. But are these women human spirts or some sort of demonic manifestation? We include parts of our last interview with Dr. Michael Heiser who went into detail on the subject for a special members only episode. Why do so many people see the White Lady? Have you seen her?

In this Dojo Discussion we welcome Dr. Kenneth Berding, New Testament scholar from Talbot School of Theology in Los Angeles who has just written the first ever academic book devoted to the topic of Paul's mysterious “thorn in the flesh” comment in 2Corinthians 12. Is it possible to know what Paul's “thorn” may actually have been? For the past 100+ years scholars have largely given up even trying to solve this millennia-old mystery. But Dr. Berding is trying to change that with this landmark in-depth examination of this ‘thorny' exegetical issue! Timestamps: 00:00:00 - Intro 00:03:09 - Who is Kenneth Berding?? 00:06:27 - Why devote a whole book on Paul's “thorn in the flesh”?? 00:11:49 - Why is there so much prejudice on this subject among interpreters? 00:19:58 - Thorns and face-punching!

As we walk into the days that follow Easter, we have such a unique opportunity to engage the truly incredible work Jesus not only did on the cross and walking out of the empty tomb, and how the world was literally turned upside down in the remaining days He was on Earth and after His ascension to Heaven and the coming of the Holy Spirit and the call to take the Gospel to the ends of the Earth. This is Dr. Bryan Litfin's area of expertise. We've had a chance to talk about Dr. Litfin's works of fiction on the podcast before, where he shares a story of an early Christian woman and a young warrior in Constantine's army and how the trials of the time and their faiths are tested and proved, but today, we're going to put all his various degrees to work as he shares with us about his newest non-fiction book Wisdom of the Ancients: 30 Timeless Lessons from the Early Church. Dr. Litfin is a Professor at Liberty University teaching theology and New Testament classes, and a former professor at Moody Bible Institute, and as we walk into this season that celebrates the birth of the early church, this conversation with Dr. Litfin is the perfect place to spend time. Dr. Litfin walks us through the context of what he means by “the ancient period,” which his latest book focuses on and he defines it as within the time of Christ on earth in the 1st century through the 500 years or so that would follow leading up to the Middle Ages. For a lot of western Christians in particular, we sometimes grapple with the context of the early church and get confused about what happened when, how decisions were made, and we tend to skip from the end of Revelation to the Reformation or something like that. Dr. Litfin gives us a picture of what the world looked like as the Gospel spread. Then, he shares from his latest book some specific and perhaps surprising lessons we can consider and adapt to our modern faith walks and churches, and it is truly fascinating. Jesus is alive, He came that we would have life to the full, not always easy, but full and never alone. His passion for His family has not changed, and I pray that ministers to you today.

The death of the pagan gods has been decreed. End times prophecy is about how that sentence will be carried out.Dr. Michael Heiser, a good friend and excellent scholar who passed into glory February 20, 2023, joined us in the summer of 2021 to discuss the divine council—what it is, where we find it in scripture, and why Psalm 82, contrary to the interpretation of most Bible teachers, is a courtroom scene in heaven at which God passes judgment on the small-G gods.Here is the link to the episode of Mike's Naked Bible Podcast where he explains why Jesus quoting Psalm 82 in John 10:34–36 does not mean that the “gods” of Psalm 82 are men. At that page, you'll find links to Mike's academic paper and a narrated slide presentation on this topic.

Greg answers questions about whether there are internal inconsistencies in Protestantism when it comes to sola Scriptura, whether Jesus has severed his personal relationship with John now that he's Lord over all, and reading the Bible with the assumption that it's a divinely-inspired book. Topics: Do you have answers for the internal inconsistencies of Protestantism? (01:00) Has Jesus severed his personal relationship with John now that he is Lord over all? (36:00) One of Michael Heiser's seven rules for reading the Bible is that we should read it as a divine book, but should that really be a starting point when we're approaching a text? (47:00)
Dr. Joel Muddamalle makes his Blurry Creatures debut and we delve into Territorial Spirits and their ancient connections to the biblical and historical narrative. This was the topic of his dissertation and Ph.D., one he earned under Dr. Patrick Schreiner and the legendary Dr. Michael Heiser. Joel currently serves as the Director of Theology and Research for Proverbs 31 Ministries and Lysa TerKeurst and is passionate about teaching the brilliant truths in Scripture. What are territorial spirits? How do these relate to the Teraphim in Genesis and how do they connect to the sons of god? What is the connection between these entities and the divine council? How is this related to cosmic and geographical warfare, both ancient and modern day? Join us for a fascinating conversation about all things blurry that very much falls into the realm of the unseen.

Verses mentioning Mount Hermon and the land of Bashan are sprinkled throughout the Bible. To Israelites during the Biblical Period, they were obvious references to the land of the dead.Bible scholar Dr. Michael Heiser, who sadly passed away February 20, 2023 at the age of 60, joined us for an interview in 2021 and explained why Bashan and Hermon were important, and why Jesus deliberately traveled there for some very specific events during his ministry—like picking a fight with the Enemy.

Jesus descended into the abyss to declare victory over the spirits who disobeyed “in the days of Noah” (1 Pt. 3:20), a reference to the “sons of God” from Genesis 6.Bible scholar Dr. Michael Heiser, in an interview recorded in July 2021, explains why this passage in 1 Peter 3 is so profound, why the apostle connected it to baptism, and how it was influenced by the Book of 1 Enoch.
The weird parts of the Bible are important! So says scholar Dr. Michael Heiser, author of The Unseen Realm, Angels, Demons, and Reversing Hermon.We'll feature Mike over the next four weeks in an interview recorded in July of 2021. This week, Mike discusses the controversial passages in Genesis 6:1–4 and explains why they weren't controversial at all 2,000 years ago. Jews of the Second Temple period and the early church were in agreement: Giants once walked the earth, they were the hybrid offspring of supernatural beings and human women, and the spirits of those giants, who died in the Flood of Noah, are the demons that afflict humanity to this day.
In today's episode we talk about the passing of Michael Heiser, author of The Unseen Realm, the Asbury Revival and whether it was a good thing, and speak about the life Jesus gives us through His salvation.
We would like to say Thank You to Dr. Michael Heiser who passed away February 20, 2023 and as he would put it stepped into the Unseen Realm. He will be missed by all who knew him and all who learned to know God better from his work, but his life and legacy will never be forgotten. Thank you for all you did to build God's Kingdom.

The Mind Renewed : Thinking Christianly in a New World Order
"I think Jesus wants us to have a paradigm where we notice His truth and His beauty everywhere."—Andy Jennings We welcome back to the programme Andy Jennings—the brilliant singer-songwriter of the Christian indie band Dissident Prophet—for a wide-ranging conversation as part of the ongoing series here at TMR called: "Following Christ in the New Old Normal." In the first conversation, with Rev Phill Sacre, we discussed "awakeness" in the church and beyond. In the second, Pastor Stephen Buckley shared his perspective on the covid era, interpreting the response of so many churches in terms of God's constructive judgement upon the churches themselves. In the third, Jeremiah Allen explained his conviction that only with the Fruit of the Spirit will Christians successfully navigate the troubled waters of the days ahead. And in this fourth, wide-ranging conversation, Andy Jennings shares with us how a change of theological focus, plus a brush with death, helped prepare him for specific challenges during the covid era, and how choosing to see God in all things can transform our lives and position us positively in Christ to face the days to come.

GIANTS ARE in the Bible because they're important.This week, we bring you an interview recorded in July of 2021 with Dr. Michael Heiser, a giant among Bible scholars, in our view. Mike's research and his willingness to share it has literally changed the lives of thousands of people. His books, including The Unseen Realm, Reversing Hermon, Angels, Demons, and A Companion to the Book of Enoch, Volumes 1 and 2, are foundational to a deeper understanding of the Bible.In this discussion, Mike explains why the giants of Genesis 6 are still relevant today, why Joshua's conquest of Canaan was a war to destroy the Anakim (who are linked to the Nephilim), the significance of Mount Hermon, and the connection between baptism and the Watchers who rebelled against God in the days of Noah.
A conversation with my friend Megan Ortega. In this episode we talk about the Asbury revival, generational response to revival and the life and legacy of Dr. Michael Heiser.
Dark Matter with Art Bell - UFOlogy, ET's and MJ-12 - Dr. Michael Heiser
THE PSALMS OF DAVID are often prophetic. We know this. But we often overlook just how supernatural they are. This week, we focus on two of the most profound and stunning psalms in the Bible. Psalm 22 begins with a line quoted by Jesus on the cross: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” It's widely acknowledged by Bible scholars that the 22nd Psalm is a prophecy of the Crucifixion written more than 600 years before the Persians invented that horrific method of execution. However, verses 12 and 13 are usually misinterpreted. They read: Many bulls encompass me;strong bulls of Bashan surround me;they open wide their mouths at me,like a ravening and roaring lion. (Psalm 22:12–13, ESV) Bible commentaries usually explain these verses as a reference to the well-fed livestock of ancient Bashan. That's not what the passage means. Bashan was a terrible place to raise cattle, which would have starved on the poor pastureland available on that rocky, volcanic soil. Goats and sheep thrived in Bashan, but the ancient kingdom of Og was not then, and is not now, a place that would support a thriving cattle operation. The point is that the “bulls of Bashan” were not bovine, they were divine (We're borrowing a phrase from Dr. Robert D. Miller II, whose paper “Baals of Bashan” is the source of this information). These were dark spirits from the land known from the time of Abraham down to Jesus' day as the entrance to the netherworld—an evil place with a name, Bashan, that literally means “place of the serpent.” Then we move to the 23rd Psalm, one that many of us have memorized. We suggest that the valley of the shadow of death is a literal place—the Huleh Valley, which separates Bashan from the Upper Galilee. The valley is ringed with more than 5,000 dolmens, megalithic monuments to the dead that resemble giant stone tables (which is what dolmen means in the Brittonic language). We base this analysis on the gospel of Matthew, where he writes: Now when [Jesus] heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee. And leaving Nazareth he went and lived in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali, so that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—the people dwelling in darknesshave seen a great light,and for those dwelling in the region and shadow of death,on them a light has dawned.” (Matthew 4:12–16, ESV) Matthew quoted from Isaiah 9:1–2, the beginning of the messianic prophecy that includes the lines, “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given”. The Way of the Sea is the Roman road, the Via Maris, that ran from Egypt through Judea, north through Galilee alongside the west shore of the Sea of Galilee, north through the Huleh Valley, and then “beyond the Jordan” (i.e., east) toward Damascus. In other words, Jesus' move from Nazareth to Capernaum, on the north end of the Sea of Galilee, fulfilled Isaiah's prophecy of a light dawning on those living “in the region and shadow of death”. This makes this verse all the more powerful: You prepare a table before mein the presence of my enemiesyou anoint me head with oil;my cup overflows. (Psalm 23:5, ESV) In the context of the pagan rituals for the dead, especially in the region of ancient Bashan, this verse is a celebration of Christ's victory over the fallen spirits who have rebelled against their Creator—and who want to take us to destruction with them.

Renowned Bible scholar, author, friend, and mentor Dr. Michael S. Heiser stepped into eternity Monday, February 20, 2023. All of us owe Mike a debt.Director of the Institute of Biblical Anthropology Dr. Judd Burton, bestselling author and award-winning screenwriter Brian Godawa, and Pastor Doug Van Dorn return this week to share memories of Mike—how we first became aware of his work, how it's influenced our lives, and the legacy Mike leaves behind.”Farther Along” sung by the Coles County Barbershop Chorus under the direction of Timothy Woodall.
This week, the world lost a giant among Bible scholars, and we lost a good friend: Dr. Michael Heiser. Mike went out of his way to share his research with what he called “Christian Middle-Earth”—those of us who aren't scholars, but who want more theological meat than we get in most churches (and most corners of the Internet). Mike passed into glory this past Tuesday at the age of 60 following an 18-month struggle with an aggressive pancreatic cancer. He worked right up to the end, setting an example and leaving a legacy for all of us in the Body of Christ. Here we present our very first conversation with Mike, recorded in the spring of 2005, when this podcast was still called Mytharc Radio, on a jury-rigged setup the involved cheap gaming headset mics, a Radio Shack gizmo alligator-clipped to our house phone, a Sony video camera, and a laptop—hence the awful quality of the audio. But this conversation literally changed the course of our lives. Farewell, Mike, until we meet again.
Today marks the first year of war between Russia and the West in Ukraine. Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin made speeches Tuesday while China announced it's “joining forces” with “like-minded” Russia. 5) One year of war in Ukraine with no end in sight; 4) Biden's indecision about reelection campaign confounding Democrats; 3) Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg finally visits toxic train derailment in Ohio; 2) Minnesota congressman introduces bill to block creation of a digital dollar; 1) Goodbye to Dr. Michael Heiser, until we meet again in glory.
Episode 70 - Remembering Michael HeiserFeb 22, 2022 - Host: Dr. Gregory HallIn this episode, we take a moment to memorialize the passing of the theologian and scholar, Dr. Michael S. Heiser. In 2020, Heiser was diagnosed with an aggressive form of Pancreatic cancer. On Feb 15, 2023 he turned 60, and five days later he transitioned to experience the unseen realm he wrote so much about. He was a Christian author and biblical Old Testament scholar whose area of expertise was the nature of the spiritual realm, specifically the ANE worldview of the Divine Council.

The legendary Dr. Michael Heiser has stepped from our realm into the unseen realm. He is and was the reason this podcast came to be. We want to honor him by re-releasing our first episode with him. Mike was gracious to come on our show a few times. He is best known for authoring the chart-topping book ‘Unseen Realm', Heiser talks with us about free will, the supernatural themes of the Bible, and why most of us have missed the beginning of the human narrative. Dr. Heiser was one of a minuscule few theologians who got invited to speak at UFO conferences, he's wasn't afraid to get weird and explore topics that made most of his peers and colleagues nervous, and in Episode 34 he took us down the rabbit hole with him. What does Bigfoot have to do with all of this anyway? We love you Mike!

Can I have "my truth" while you have "your truth", or is there just "the truth"? Postmodernism has popularized the idea that truth is subjective and absolute truth does not exist. Because of this large swaths of cultures have committed themselves to the belief that truth is whatever the individual wants it to be. When truth becomes relative then reality becomes relative, when subjective reality becomes the truth we begin to live in a world built on lies.

The flag above the Mysterious Library flies at half-mast this week. Your hosts Dr. Dean Bertram and Jason McLean will be reflecting on the work and legacy of the great Biblical scholar Dr. Michael S. Heiser (1963-2023). He departed this world yesterday, Monday the 20th of February.Your Mysterious Librarians will be discussing his work, and reflecting on his legacy, which has re-popularized almost forgotten Biblical concepts which reminded us of the complexities and richness of the Unseen Realm. Including the Divine Council, the true nature of demons, angels, and other Elohim, and the fact that there was not one "Fall" (ie the well known Garden of Eden narrative), but, in fact, three.Your librarians will also discuss how this recollected, but almost lost, knowledge, offers alternative insight into what might be behind much of the paranormal phenomena that still haunts this planet today, from encounters with spirits to alien abductions. This is a reflective, and, may we suggest, important episode, that library card holders do not want to miss!
READING THE HEADLINES each day can cause anxiety, depression, and frustration at the plots and schemes of those who apparently feel qualified, if not entitled, to tell the rest of us how we should live. When the news is getting to you, remember these words: He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision. Then He will speak to them in His wrath, and terrify them in His fury, saying, “As for Me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill.” (Psalm 2:3–4, ESV) We discuss David's song of thanksgiving and note a reference that's packed with supernatural meaning: The “worthless idols” of 1 Chr. 16:26 (Hebrew ĕlîlim) may well refer to the spirits loyal to Enlil (also known as El, Dagon, and Molech), who we believe was the Watcher chief Shemihazah, leader of the Genesis 6 rebellion. Here's a link to a short chapter from Derek's book The Second Coming of Saturn on “Isaiah's Worthless Idols” (link opens PDF document).

In this episode, we explore with Doug Van Dorn about his research, understanding and expertise of the biblical exposition of the Divine Council worldview and giants. Get ready for your mind to be blown! Our guest Doug Van Dorn provides a primer, explaining what the Nephilim are, how they fit into the Genesis 6 narrative, and why this topic is important for Christians to understand. He also discusses how the Nephilim may have impacted the world today and why Christians need to be aware of their existence. He also mentions that thinking about fantasy can help us better understand the history of the topic, which has been clouded by church history. The conversation discusses the importance of stories, and how they can change people's lives in ways that straight up theology cannot. The point is made that from Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is one big story, and that God wants us to learn from and use stories. The hosts and guest discuss how the Bible can be interpreted to support the idea of a divine council, and how this can help to get men involved in spirituality and church. Dr. Heiser introduced the idea to Doug, who then did his own research and found an article on the subject. The article blew him away and he realized that he had actually read about the divine council before but it had never hit his consciousness.Discussion continues with the idea that humans were given dominion over the Earth by God, while the angels were given dominion over the heavenly realms. The conversation then goes on to discuss the idea that the temptation for Eve was not to become the Creator, but to have the ability to know good and evil, which is something she already had. In the Garden of Eden, humans and heavenly beings were able to interact with each other freely. However, after the Fall, humans were banned from the mountain where the heavenly beings resided. The Fall created a rift between humans and the heavenly beings, who were jealous of humans. In the Bible, there are many stories of meetings between God and humans. The conversation covers the topic of man's attempts to reach God, starting with Cain and Abel. It is mentioned that Abraham was likely a moon god worshipper in the city of Ur, but God chose him anyway and to make a name for Himself. The conversation then moves to Acts chapter two, which is considered the reversal of Babel. In this chapter, many people are gathered together and hearing different languages, the preaching in their own tongues. This is the reversal of Babel, where they're all together, and so they're all speaking one language, and so God separates them into many languages. https://www.douglasvandorn.com/ https://www.rbcnc.com/https://unrefinedpodcast.com/membershipTimestamps0:00:03Doug Van Dorn on the Unseen Realm of Genesis 60:02:25The Importance of Imagination in Christian Thought0:04:08The Importance of Storytelling in Christianity0:07:52The Divine Council in the Bible0:10:01The Unseen Realm: Dr. Michael Heiser0:11:41The Nephilim: A Biblical Theology of Giants0:13:29The Sethite View: A Biblical Perspective on the End Times0:15:16The Nephilim: A Biblical Mystery0:16:53The History of the Nephilim0:20:59The History of the Sethite View of Genesis 60:23:55The Book of First Enoch and the Two Powers in Heaven0:27:08The History of the Supernatural View of Genesis 60:29:06The Bible and the Nephilim0:30:49The Flood and the Tower of Babel0:33:45The Significance of the Medical Symbol with Two Serpents0:35:30The Nephilim: A Biblical Perspective0:38:37The Flood: A Local or Universal Event?0:40:21The Bible and the Nephilim: 0:42:08The Nephilim: A Biblical Explanation0:46:24 Angels given Dominion over the Heavenly Realms0:47:06The Temptation of Eve: Dominion Over Good and Evil0:47:35The Divine Council and the Garden of Eden0:48:11The Divine Council in the Bible0:56:10The Reversal of Babel0:58:05The Power of the Bible0:59:08The Power of Story: How Our Story Can Change the Way We Think About the World0:59:19Three passages on How the Giants interact with Christ1:00:18Deuteronomy 32:7-8 and Dr. Michael Heiser's paper1:03:10The Tower of Babel and the Inheritance of the Nations1:07:08The Messianic Prophecies of Psalm Two 1:08:12The Divine Council in the Bible1:09:16The Divine Council and the Giants1:11:40The Eschatology of the Nephilim/Giants1:14:08The Bible and the Nephilim1:16:07The Battle for Allegiance: The New Testament Approach to Spiritual Warfare1:16:19The Battle Against Evil Spirits1:21:48What the Nephilim Mean to Us Today1:23:00The Power of the Gospel to Dispel Darkness1:25:31The Importance of Masculinity in the Church

GOD IS enthroned above the cherubim on the Ark of the Covenant. Failure to treat the ark with proper respect, according to the Law, cost a teamster his life. This week, we discuss the move of the ark to Jerusalem and a section of scripture in 1 Chronicles 13 that's difficult for many to accept. Why was Uzzah killed by God for putting his hand on the ark to steady it? The answer: The ark was supposed to be treated with reverence, carried by Levites with poles made specifically for that purpose (Exodus 25:12–14; Numbers 4:5–6, 15). Instead, it had been loaded onto an oxcart, like cargo in an Iron Age U-haul van. We also discuss an interesting section of a psalm of joy and thankfulness that is more supernatural than it first appears. Psalm 107:3 refers to the people gathered “from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.” However, “north” is the Hebrew word tsaphon, a reference to “cosmic” north—the mountain sacred to the king of the Canaanite pantheon, Baal. And “south” is yam, usually translated “west” or “sea.” This is the only place in the Bible where yam is rendered “south,” because of its opposition to tsaphon. Yam is the name of the Canaanite chaos-dragon, equivalent to Leviathan, and often used to represent the abyss—the bottomless pit, or Tartarus. What is meant in Psalm 107:3 is that God has gathered his people from “cosmic” north, the realm of the pagan gods (fallen angels), and “cosmic” south, chaos and eternal destruction in the abyss.

The two hosts of the Unrefined podcast discuss their vision for the podcast, which is to explore the world beyond the veil of the physical world. They hope to discuss various topics from a biblical worldview and to also include guests on the show. The conversation is about how the world is a strange place and how they are trying to find their place in it. They talk about how they want to explore the weird through a biblical worldview and how the further they have gone down this rabbit hole, the weirder it has gotten. They mention how they are both fans of Joe Rogan and Michael Heiser and how they are trying to make their place in the world. Lindsy has been listening to the Sisters of Mercy and Desmond Doom recently, and is reading Lewis's Space Trilogy. They are reading the trilogy mainly because they are interested in the last book's dystopian, trans-humanist future. They discuss the book First Enoch, which is a book about the pre-flood character Enoch. The book is unique and fresh, and the speaker is also reading a companion book to it.

This episode is a special re-release of an interview we did in 2018 with Dr. Michael Heiser. Mike has been a significant influence to Tim's own scholarship and, by extension, much of BibleProject's content, as well as to thousands of other people. Mike is in the final stages of his battle with pancreatic cancer, and we want to honor his incredible life by sharing this episode again.
