In this final message of the Set Free series on the book of Galatians, Dr. Roger Patterson explores what true spiritual liberty looks like to an outside world . Moving past the traps of legalism ("Jesus plus" rules) and license (using freedom to gratify the flesh), Dr. Patterson dives into Galatians 5:25–26 and Galatians 6:1–10 to deliver three core principles for living in step with the Holy Spirit . Key Takeaways From This Sermon: Bearing Burdens vs. Being Conceited: Spiritual believers do not mock or exploit those overtaken by sin; instead, they seek to restore them with a spirit of gentleness and humility . Blessing the Body vs. Being Greedy: Walking in the Spirit means maintaining open hands with our finances . Dr. Patterson challenges us to stop giving God our "leftovers" and instead step into kingdom economics by sowing generously into God's house . Thinking Like Farmers: God is not mocked—we reap what we sow . We harvest later than we plant, we harvest more than we plant, and we harvest exactly what we plant . Boasting Only in Christ: True liberty means getting out of the spotlight and placing the cross of Jesus Christ at center stage . A Note from the Sermon: "Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. ... The flesh is scarcity. The spirit says invest, bless, serve, give, release, and be resupplied." — Dr. Roger Patterson
Are you tired of feeling trapped by an oppressive system that demands perfection? In this powerful Memorial Day weekend message from West University Baptist Church, Dr. Roger Patterson dives into Galatians 5:16–26 to uncover the true meaning of Christian liberty. Many believers find themselves trapped on opposite ends of the spectrum: legalism (living by strict rules and performance) or license (using freedom to indulge the flesh). Dr. Patterson reveals that both paths lead to the exact same place—spiritual bondage. Discover how walking by the Spirit, being led by the Spirit, and keeping in step with the Holy Spirit provides the supernatural willpower you need to overcome your sin nature. Learn how a daily partnership with God transforms your heart, crucifies the flesh, and naturally produces the 9 essential fruits of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. If you are ready to stop frantically striving and start abiding in Christ, this sermon will give you a practical, one-minute daily prayer to reshape your life.
In this powerful Mother's Day message, Dr. Roger Patterson continues our series, "Set Free," by diving into a deeply theological look at two mothers from the book of Genesis: Hagar and Sarah. While we often think of Mother's Day in sentimental terms, the Apostle Paul uses the stories of these two women to illustrate the radical difference between living under the law and living in the freedom of the gospel. Are you living in a house of performance and striving, or a house of promise and grace? Dr. Patterson explores how Jesus is not just a teacher, but the mediator of a New Covenant who bore the curse of the law to set us truly free. Whether you are struggling with the yoke of perfectionism, parental guilt, or religious performance, this sermon is an invitation to cast out slavery and stand firm in the freedom Christ has purchased for you.
Are you living in an identity crisis? Many of us feel imprisoned by our thoughts, bound by the opinions of others, or trapped in a cycle of "performance" to earn God's approval. In this powerful message from Dr. Roger Patterson, we dive into Galatians 3 and 4 to discover that in Christ, we are no longer spiritual slaves—we are fully adopted sons and daughters of the King. In this sermon, you'll learn: The Purpose of the Law: How the law acted as a "guardian" or "tutor" to expose our need for a Savior. A Changed Identity: Why being "in Christ" means your identity is no longer defined by race, status, or gender, but by your union with Him. A Secured Status: The significance of the "fullness of time" when God sent His Son to redeem us and give us full rights as heirs. Walking in Liberty: The difference between legalism (following rules to be loved) and the liberty of the Spirit (walking in love because you are already loved). Dr. Patterson shares a relatable (and slightly humbling) story about a bad day at a golf course and a tense moment at a Chick-Fil-A drive-thru to illustrate how easily we can forget who we are and stop "walking in the Spirit."
What happens when the things you trust most—your reputation, your effort, and your ability to perform—are stripped away? In this powerful message from CityRise Church, Dr. Roger Patterson explores the Apostle Paul's defense of the gospel in Galatians 1 and 2. Dr. Patterson shares a personal season of deep refinement and examines how God uses "stripping away" not to hurt us, but to free us from the exhaustion of performance-based living. Drawing from Paul's radical transformation from a persecutor to a preacher, we learn that the gospel isn't about improving your life—it's about replacing your self-made identity with a union in Jesus Christ. In this sermon, you will discover: Why the gospel is a divine revelation, not a human invention. The danger of "legalism" and "license" versus the "liberty" found in the Spirit. How to stand firm when the core truths of your faith are under attack. What it truly means to be "crucified with Christ". If you've been feeling the pressure to "do enough" to earn God's favor, this study of Galatians is a timely reminder that Christ's sacrifice is sufficient.

In this Easter message, Dr. Roger Patterson dives into John 20 to explore the moment that changed history forever . Many people reject the resurrection not because of a lack of evidence, but because it doesn't fit their existing framework of what is possible . Dr. Patterson challenges us to look past our expectations and examine the five distinct reactions to the empty tomb found in Scripture: dismissal, examination, fear, doubt, and ultimately, belief . Whether you are a seeker, a skeptic, or a long-time believer, this sermon invites you to move from disbelief to a personal surrender to the living Lord.
What if what looks like defeat is actually the greatest victory the world has ever known? In this powerful message, Dr. Roger Patterson explores the profound significance of the crucifixion through the lens of John 19. While the world saw a humiliated man in a mock coronation, the spiritual reality was the enthronement of the King of Kings. Using the metaphor of a "hidden gem" found in an old drawer, Dr. Patterson challenges us to stop treating the cross as "costume jewelry" and start recognizing its life-changing value.

What if the biggest hoax in the Bigfoot world isn't the Patterson-Gimlin Film… but the tribalism surrounding it? In this episode, Brian takes a hard look at the fallout surrounding Capturing Bigfoot, the claims of new footage connected to the Patterson-Gimlin Film, and the deeper problem tearing the Sasquatch community apart: blind loyalty, faction-driven thinking, and the growing inability to examine evidence without picking a side.This is not just a conversation about Roger Patterson, Bob Gimlin, Bluff Creek, or whether the PGF is authentic. It's a deeper examination of how tribalism, identity, narrative, and online culture have reshaped Bigfoot research itself. From the Scopes Monkey Trial to modern social media pile-ons, this episode explores how people stop following evidence and start defending teams.If you care about Bigfoot research, Sasquatch evidence, the Patterson-Gimlin Film, Capturing Bigfoot, documentary analysis, cryptozoology, skepticism, debunking, belief, and the search for truth, this episode is for you.In this episode:The real issue behind the Capturing Bigfoot controversyWhy the Patterson-Gimlin Film became symbolic instead of investigatoryHow tribalism damages Sasquatch researchThe psychology behind belief, identity, and the backfire effectWhy evidence must be tested, not protectedHow the Bigfoot community risks becoming its own worst enemyWhat honest inquiry actually looks like in cryptid researchThis is a conversation about Bigfoot, yes — but it's also about human nature, media manipulation, group identity, and what happens when curiosity gets replaced by allegiance.If you've been frustrated by the Bigfoot community, Bigfoot documentaries, Patterson-Gimlin Film debates, or the culture wars inside Sasquatch research, this episode will hit home.Follow, support, and explore more:Linktree: https://linktr.ee/ParanormalWorldProductionsEmail BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our Website Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

It's been a while since I've written a newsletter entry, but something happened on March 12, 2026 that demanded a response. A new documentary called Capturing Bigfoot, directed by Marq Evans, premiered at the South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas, and the shockwaves have been reverberating through the Bigfoot community ever since.The film presents newly discovered sixteen-millimeter Kodachrome footage allegedly shot in 1966, a full year before the famous Patterson-Gimlin Film was recorded at Bluff Creek, California. According to the documentary, Clint Patterson, the youngest son of Roger Patterson, has gone on camera to reveal what he says is the truth about the most famous piece of Bigfoot footage ever captured.The claims are significant, the evidence appears to be serious, and the community is divided in ways it hasn't been in decades.In this special episode, I read the latest edition of my free newsletter in its entirety, walking listeners through everything that's been reported about the documentary, the newly discovered footage, and the firestorm of reaction that has followed.I share details from my own direct conversations with key figures in the Bigfoot research community, including Emmy-winning filmmaker and MonsterQuest creator Doug Hajicek, who offers a compelling alternative interpretation of the footage, and Bill Munns, widely regarded as the leading authority on the Patterson-Gimlin Film, who has physically examined the so-called smoking gun clip and reached a very different conclusion than the one the documentary is selling. I also discuss Eric Palacios's reaction after attending a screening of the film, my outreach to director Marq Evans for a potential interview and advance screening, and my ongoing efforts to secure a statement from Bob Gimlin himself. Most importantly, I make the case I've been making for years — one that matters now more than ever. The Patterson-Gimlin Film can be fake and Sasquatch can still be real. Drawing on nearly forty years of personal research, sixteen years of law enforcement experience, my own encounters including a sighting from approximately ten feet away in Washington State in 2024 while filming the My Bigfoot Life documentary, and hundreds of conversations with credible eyewitnesses from across the continent, I argue that the Sasquatch phenomenon has never depended on a single piece of film and never should have.I encourage listeners to withhold judgment until they've examined the evidence for themselves and to resist the temptation to let someone else — filmmaker, skeptic, or true believer — tell them what to think.If you're not already subscribed to the Paranormal World Productions newsletter, now is the time.

In this captivating episode, we welcome Richard Monck, a Devon, UK-based writer and researcher. Richard contributes to uapedia.ai and served as Director of Photography for the Dartmoor investigations in the Legend Seekers series. He has spent decades immersed in the overlapping realms of UAP research, Fortean phenomena, cryptozoology, consciousness exploration, and chaos magick.His current project, The Cartography of High Strangeness, is a deeply personal Fortean memoir that weaves a lifetime of anomalous encounters through the frameworks of Patrick Harpur, John Keel, Jacques Vallée, and Jeffrey Kripal. This work is now evolving into a full-length book.Join us as Richard fearlessly shares his own extraordinary experiences and bold theories on the nature of high strangeness. We dive into profound synchronicities that link seemingly disparate encounters with the unknown, exploring whether these events form part of a larger, orchestrated pattern.Richard recounts his childhood UFO sighting at school, a transformative near-death experience that propelled him into another realm—or perhaps a void beyond ordinary reality—and the haunting question it raised: Were all his brushes with the paranormal, including a childhood imaginary friend, predestined pieces of a greater puzzle? We also examine whether imaginary friends, UFO encounters, near-death visions, and other high-strangeness phenomena share a hidden connection.Adding to the intrigue, Richard describes his partner's chilling sighting of enormous, Bigfoot-like feet striding across a road—vanishing as mysteriously as they appeared. Was this a fleeting glimpse of a creature slipping between dimensions, a glitch in the fabric of reality, or something even stranger?Richard's encyclopedic knowledge shines as he guides us through his remarkable collection of vintage high-strangeness literature, including Roger Patterson's rare 1966 book Do Abominable Snowmen of America Really Exist?—published a year before the iconic 1967 Patterson-Gimlin film that sparked huge debate over what many believe to be genuine Bigfoot footage.Buckle up as we walk the razor's edge of the unexplained, connect the dots across decades of mystery, and attempt to map the wild, wonderful, and deeply unsettling territory of high strangeness.https://www.facebook.com/share/1JoMAyK24Z/UAPedia - Unlocking New Realities https://share.google/o7Ib0UUYxc63mHXK6https://youtube.com/@legendseekers-network?feature=sharedGot a mind-blowing paranormal encounter, cryptid sighting, UFO experience, or any high-strangeness story that still gives you chills?

Is the "blood of Jesus" just an outdated religious phrase, or is it the key to your eternal freedom? In this powerful message from Hebrews 9:11-28, Dr. Roger Patterson of CityRise Church explores why the shedding of blood was necessary for the forgiveness of sins and how Jesus serves as our "Better High Priest." While the modern world often tries to minimize sin as mere "mistakes," Dr. Patterson reminds us that sin is moral treason against a holy God—and only a perfect sacrifice could bridge that gap.
Is your view of God big enough to handle your bank account? In this powerful message from the "Pathways" series, Dr. Roger Patterson dives into 1 Chronicles 29 to explore the profound connection between our worship and our wealth. Many of us live under the stress of "ownership," clinging tightly to what we have, only to find ourselves in a cycle of lack and anxiety. Dr. Patterson challenges us to shift our mindset from owner to steward, recognizing that everything we have—our time, our talent, and our treasure—belongs to God first. Drawing from the example of King David and the warnings of the Prophet Malachi, this sermon reveals how joyful, sacrificial giving isn't something God wants from you, but something He wants for you. In this sermon, you'll discover: The Five Principles of Joyful Worship: Why true joy begins by seeing God exactly as He is. Breaking the "Curse of Greed": How tithing shifts your perspective from what you lack to how God provides. The "Multiplier" Effect: Why God's math is different than ours and how He rewards faithfulness. Leaving a Legacy: The responsibility of older generations to model generosity and younger generations to step out in faith. "Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." If you are ready to break the cycle of financial chaos and experience the peace that comes with trusting God's provision, this message is for you.
What does it take to be an authentic leader in a rapidly changing world? In this powerful message, Dr. Roger Patterson continues our Pathways series by diving into 1 Chronicles 29 to explore the leadership of King David as he prepared for the construction of the Temple. Drawing a parallel between the 1804 Lewis and Clark expedition and the journey of the modern church, Dr. Patterson discusses how true leadership isn't just about having a resume—it's about hacking a trail so that others can follow. He shares a candid and transparent update on the recent challenges and future vision of CityRise, including the consolidation of the Children's Village and upcoming plans for our West U Baptist, Bellaire, and Missouri City campuses.
In this powerful message, Senior Pastor Dr. Roger Patterson explores the critical pivot from vision and planning to bold action. Drawing from 1 Chronicles 28, we look at King David's final charge to his son Solomon as he prepares to build the Temple. David's words, "Be strong and courageous, and do it," serve as a timeless blueprint for every believer. Dr. Patterson breaks down four essential principles for moving from "the dream" to "the doing," reminding us that while God's presence removes our fear, it does not remove our responsibility to act. Key Takeaways: Why "Action is the Great Separator" (John Maxwell). Understanding the biblical definitions of strength and courage. The legacy of "Nanny David" and how one "yes" in 1928 created a century of impact. Why God's presence is our ultimate safety net when taking risks for the Gospel. Whether you are leading a family, a business, or simply seeking God's will for your next step, this sermon will challenge you to move out of paralysis and into your divine calling.
"A man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps". We all plan—daily, weekly, and for the long term—but often our planning is just a disguised attempt to maintain control. Join Senior Pastor Dr. Roger Patterson as he dives into the tension between human preparation and divine sovereignty. Discover how CityRise Church is entering a new season of impact and how your "Pathway of Planning" can lead to a lasting legacy for the kingdom of God.
In this powerful message, Dr. Roger Patterson explores the life of Enoch, the man who "walked with God" and was taken to heaven without seeing death. As part of our 40 Days of Faith series, we examine how every life preaches a sermon and how our daily walk impacts generations to come. Enoch lived in a time of increasing wickedness, yet he maintained a life of integrity, righteousness, and prophetic warning. Discover how your habits, your words, and your faithfulness can shape the spiritual legacy of your family and community. Key Scriptures: Genesis 5:21-24 (The Genealogy of Faith) Jude 14-16 (Enoch's Prophetic Warning) Hebrews 11:5-6 (The Hall of Faith)
Why was Abel's gift acceptable to God, while Cain's was not?. In this powerful message, Dr. Roger Patterson explores what it means to live with a "Faith That Offers Its Best.". Join us as we dive into Hebrews 11:4 to discover how our offerings—given in faith—can continue to speak long after we are gone. As we continue our church-wide series, 40 Days of Faith, Pastor Roger uses the story of Cain and Abel to illustrate the difference between a life of zeal and intentionality versus one of carelessness.. Just as some approach a workout with a competitive drive to "get the t-shirt," our walk with God requires a heart that is fully invested in giving Him our first and our best. The Heart of the Giver: Understanding why Abel was commended as righteous through his sacrifice. Intentionality vs. Carelessness: Learning to move from "just showing up" to giving with passion. A Lasting Legacy: How a gift made in faith "still speaks" even after the giver has passed.
The Magi traveled a great distance and expense to offer Jesus gifts. But what do gold, frankincense, and myrrh truly signify, and why is Jesus worthy of our worship today? In this Advent sermon, Dr. Roger Patterson of CityRise Bellaire walks through the story of the wise men in Matthew chapter two. He explains that each gift answers the question, "Who is this child and why is he worthy of my worship?". Discover the profound spiritual significance of the Magi's offerings:
October 20th 1967 is a day burned in to most lovers of Bigfoot as the day everything changed with 59 seconds of footage of alleged undiscovered hominid striding through Bluff Creek in California. For the two men who caught that footage, Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin, life would never be the same again and in his new film, Bigfoot Enterprises: The Trueish Adventures of Patterson and Gimlin, director Eric Fulford and his writers Mark Schwartz and Mark Yellen set their sights of telling the story of the aftermath and the madness this entails. Eric is a lifelong Bigfoot enthusiast and genuinely passionate about doing justice to the legend. He's got great stories from pre-production and what it takes to bring a cryptid to life on screen. Eric has made a career digging into the dusty reels of American storytelling, from the punk-legend skate myth of DAY AT THE POOL to the surreal Hollywood spiral of THE PLATINUM LOOP.

In this episode, Brian sits down with filmmaker Eric Fulford—director of Bigfoot Enterprises: The True-ish Adventures of Patterson and Gimlin—joins the show to pull back the curtain on his upcoming film and the real-world story that inspired it.Eric shares how a lifelong fascination with Bigfoot, sparked by the legendary Patterson-Gimlin film, shaped both his creativity and his curiosity.But instead of rehashing the usual debate over what was—or wasn't—captured on camera in 1967, Eric takes us somewhere deeper: into the human drama behind Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin. Their ambitions, risks, personalities, and the cultural moment they stepped into become the heart of his film.We talk about why this project is less about the creature and more about the characters, and how Eric plans to deliver a respectful, adventurous, and creatively reimagined retelling that still honors the legacy of the original story. He also breaks down the independent, community-powered approach to funding the film, inviting the Bigfoot world to help bring it to life.If you've ever been fascinated by the Patterson-Gimlin footage—or wondered about the people who filmed it—this conversation offers a fresh, compelling look at one of cryptozoology's most iconic chapters.Tune in for a behind-the-scenes look at the legend, the filmmakers, and the untold story that made Bigfoot history.Support Bigfoot EnterprisesGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.
Are you in the "messy middle" of a challenge, tempted to give up when things get tough? Join Dr. Roger Patterson as he preaches from Exodus Chapter 14 on the essential nature of having a "Faith That Finishes." Drawing on the story of the Israelites facing Pharaoh's army at the Red Sea, Dr. Patterson explores the crucial difference between the Voice of Fear and the Voice of Faith. Just as the Texas A&M football team mounted an improbable comeback after being down significantly at halftime, you can press ahead and see God's victory. Key Takeaways: Understanding Bondage: We are often tempted to return to "bondage" (old habits/addictions) because of its false comfort, but living free is always better. The Voice of Fear (The Four C's): Learn to recognize the signs of fear in your life—when you are Caught by it, when your prayer is a quick Cry-out, when you Complain, and when you Contrast the past with the present. The Voice of Faith (The Four Declarations): Be encouraged by Moses' command: Fear Not, Stand Firm, Look Up (see the salvation of the Lord), and Be Confident (the enemy is done). The Voice of the Father: God challenges your thinking, encourages you to use what's in your hand (your identity, income, influence) , and commands you to Go Forward even when you don't see the way. The Voice of Finishing Faith: The story moves from Thus (what God has done) to Then (the people's response of singing and exalting the Lord). Don't quit on your marriage, children, or mission—keep moving to experience God's ultimate victory. Scriptures Covered: Exodus 7:1-5 , Exodus 12:35-36 , Exodus 13:18 , Exodus 13:21-22 , Exodus 14:1-17 , and Exodus 14:30-15:2. Preached by Dr. Roger Patterson on November 16, 2025.
Are you struggling to reconcile God's sovereign plan with your personal choices? In this powerful sermon, Dr. Roger Patterson addresses one of the most debated topics in theology: Predestination and Free Will. He explores the "unsearchable ways of God" by looking at three essential biblical concepts: Predestination: God's eternal decision of what will ultimately come to pass. Providence: God's ongoing direction of all things toward His purpose. Personal Choice: Humanity's real ability to make moral choices and be accountable for them. Dr. Patterson argues that the Bible does not present God's sovereignty and human freedom as enemies, but as "dance partners". Drawing from the account of Moses and Pharaoh in Exodus 5 and 6, he delves into the three-stage "process of the hardening of the heart", showing how Pharaoh's rejection was an intersection of divine sovereignty and his own will. Learn how to live in the tension of these truths, understanding that God's plan will be fulfilled, yet your choices still matter. Scripture Reference: Exodus 5-7 Key Takeaway: Your choices matter (your "rudder"), but God's will (the "current") ensures His plan will be fulfilled.

Facing a moment when you realize you're "flying the wrong direction"? This sermon from Dr. Roger Patterson, based on the story of Moses in Exodus 4, offers four essential principles for adjusting your course and moving forward in obedience to God. Dr. Patterson emphasizes that spiritual transformation begins with a change in direction, drawing a parallel with the story of "Wrong Way" Corrigan and the profound journey of Moses. Learn how to overcome the fears and private disobedience that hold you back so you can embrace God's plan for your life. In this message, you'll discover: Key Principles for Adjusting Course: 1. Be truthful with yourself and with others: Moses wasn't completely honest about his return to Egypt, driven by fear of his father-in-law and fear for his life. God's specific word to Moses—that the men seeking his life were dead—served as a reinforcement and encouragement against his fear. The practical question for us is: What fear is holding you back, and what one step will you take in spite of it? 2. When you take action, resolve the unresolved: You cannot move forward in public obedience while remaining in private disobedience. Just as Moses had neglected the covenant command of circumcision for his son, God will deal with a leader's unfinished obedience. This principle calls for repentance: owning your failures and agreeing with God, saying, "You are right, I am wrong". 3. Trust God to bring you the right people for the journey: God brought leaders like Aaron (spokesman, wingman) and others to provide capacity, strength, and a succession plan for Moses. The work God calls you to is far too great to do alone. Proverbs 24:6 states, "in the abundance of counselors there is victory". 4. Your aim is to influence others and show God's faithfulness: When you adjust your course and obey, others will see the faithfulness of God and join you. Your private faith is turned into a public witness. Dr. Patterson illustrates this with the life of Nelson Mandela, whose internal reorientation from anger to grace and revenge to reconciliation ultimately led to him influencing a nation. Action Points (The Four A's): Identify the direction of God's calling. Address the area he's asking you to surrender (Repent). Accept the help he's sending you. Act—take your first step today. Scripture Reference: Exodus 4:18-31
In this powerful sermon, Dr. Roger Patterson dives into the biblical concept of the "crisis of belief"—the pivotal moment when what we know about God is challenged by what we feel about ourselves or our circumstances. Using the life of Moses as a primary example (Exodus 4:10-17), Dr. Patterson explores the excuses we use—"Not me, Lord," "Not now, Lord," or "Not this, Lord"—and how our inadequacy and fear can bind us, preventing us from stepping into God's will. Drawing on lessons from figures like Doubting Thomas, Abraham, and Peter, we are reminded that failure is not final, and true faith trusts God's character even when His command doesn't make sense. God doesn't call the equipped; He equips the called. When faced with a fork in the road, the path forward is a two-step process: Remember "I AM" and Therefore "I Will." Dr. Patterson reminds us that God is the Great I AM—self-existent, present, and always available. When God prompts you, your availability is what He seeks, not your ability. Now is the day of obedience! Scripture References Psalm 46:1 Exodus 4:10-17, Exodus 3:13-14 Hebrews 11:6, Hebrews 11:17 John 20:25 Genesis 22:9 Luke 22:60 Jonah 1:1-3 Jeremiah 1:4-8 Numbers 13:30-31 2 Corinthians 6:2 Luke 22:41-42 Key Takeaways The nature of God as the "I AM" (present tense help in trouble). Understanding the crisis of belief as a decision point between faith and fear. The four common phrases of unbelief: "No, Lord," "Not me, Lord," "Not now, Lord," and "Not this, Lord." How to move forward in faith by remembering God's character. The powerful reminder that failure isn't final and God is the God of the comeback.
In 1967, Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin filmed what may be the most famous — and most debated — footage in Bigfoot history. Was the creature known as “Patty” a living, breathing Sasquatch… or one of the greatest hoaxes ever staged? In this Deep Woods Paranormal Podcast episode, Matt dives deep into the Patterson–Gimlin Film: the story behind the footage, the anatomy and movement analysis, the claims of hoaxers, and the cutting-edge 4K enhancements that continue to spark debate today.
Do you struggle with crippling anxiety, anticipatory fear, or Imposter Syndrome when God calls you to a new purpose? You're not alone. Even the most decorated people, like Olympian Michael Phelps, and the greatest leaders in the Bible, like Moses, battled the fear of failure. In this powerful sermon based on Exodus 4:1-12, Dr. Roger Patterson challenges us to stop living for the "What Ifs" and start moving with the "Even Ifs." You'll discover the four excuses that keep us from accomplishing God's plan and how to defeat them: "What if" keeps us from starting: Learn to overcome anticipatory anxiety, the fear of future failure that paralyzes us before the journey even begins. (Referencing Viktor Frankl's "fear of fear.") "What if" keeps us from trusting God's Promises: See how quickly Moses forgot God's specific promises and why faith thrives when we remember what God has already said. "What if" keeps us from laying down our lives & experiencing God's power: Dr. Patterson illustrates how God turns the ordinary (Moses' staff) into the extraordinary (The Rod of God) the moment we surrender our identity, income, and influence. "What if" keeps us from discovering our God-given potential: The ultimate cure for Imposter Syndrome is shifting our focus from self-evaluation ("I am not enough") to divine sufficiency (Exodus 4:11-12). Stop letting fear dictate your story. This message is your catalyst to move from excuses to obedience and see the supernatural power God has for you.
Is God calling you to something more? Dr. Roger Patterson continues his series, "The Call of God," by diving into Exodus 3:1-12 and Moses' profound encounter at the burning bush. Drawing on his own personal story of spiritual wandering and a life-changing invitation, Dr. Patterson challenges us to ask: How does God get your attention, and how will you respond? This message will help you unpack three key principles for recognizing and responding to God's purpose for your life: Learn God's Heart: See the deep compassion of God in the Exodus story, a powerful forecast of the Gospel. Understand what it means to be prepared, not just zealous, for the work God has for you. Listen for God's Clear, Specific Call: Discover how the closer you get to God, the clearer His specific purpose for you becomes—and learn to honor the unique calling of others. Let it Humble You, But Know that He is With You: Embrace the humility that comes with realizing you can't do the task in your own strength, and rest in the powerful, unwavering promise of God's presence. God still calls, still stirs, and still captures people in the wilderness of their ordinary days and sends them into His extraordinary purposes. Have you said, "Here I am"? Key Takeaways from Exodus 3:7-12: The Exodus story as a picture of our salvation in Jesus. The danger of zeal without knowledge (Proverbs 25:2). The call to be humble (James 4:6). God's ultimate promise: "But I will be with you" (Exodus 3:12).

This sermon explores the profound question: can I still experience God? Drawing from the story of Moses and the burning bush in Exodus 3:1-10, Pastor Roger Patterson teaches on the principles of God's call. He shares personal anecdotes, including his journey into ministry and his marriage, to illustrate how God gets our attention. This message is a powerful call to action for anyone who feels a stirring, a "pent-up energy," or a desire for something more. The Call of God: How God Gets Our Attention Join Pastor Roger Patterson as he unpacks five principles of God's call, using the biblical account of Moses. Just as William Wilberforce's purpose was captured by Christ, and Moses's assignment changed from shepherding sheep to leading a nation, God is calling people today. This sermon teaches you how to recognize and respond to God's specific call on your life. What You'll Learn: A Moment that Captures You: How God uses "open doors," frustration, or suffering as a megaphone to get our attention, just as he did with Moses at the burning bush. Your Availability: Understanding the significance of saying "Here I am" (Hineni) and how this word of surrender and readiness models faith before clarity. God's Revelation of His Character: The importance of understanding God's holiness and why a proper, reverent fear is a natural response to His presence. We'll also examine who gets to decide what is "good" and "evil" and why it matters. Learn God's Heart: The crucial period of preparation where we learn God's compassion for the afflicted and how to rightly handle the word of truth before we "get in the game." God's Clear, Specific Call: Discover how getting closer to God leads to a clearer, more specific purpose, and why a life submitted to His will is a powerful and focused one. Whether you're feeling a spiritual stirring or simply seeking guidance, this message will challenge you to be available and responsive to the personal, specific call God has for you.

Have you ever felt like you've made too many mistakes to be used by God again? In this powerful sermon, Pastor Roger Patterson dives into the story of Moses, showing how God relentlessly pursues us, even in our darkest moments of failure and wandering. You'll discover four principles from Moses's life that reveal God's grace and purpose, proving that He never gives up on you.
Have you ever felt like you're in a season of waiting, where God seems silent and your life feels stuck? It's easy to believe that God is absent when we're facing problems, but what if His silence is a gift? In this message, we dive into the incredible story of Moses' birth and discover how God is always active, working behind the scenes in ways we can't see. We'll learn four key principles from the story of Moses, including: Why God's silence is not His absence. How God's provision often comes in the form of a person. The reward that comes from risking in faith. How God protects and positions us for His divine plans. Join us to find encouragement for your own journey, and see how the story of Moses points to the ultimate promise and provision of Jesus Christ.

Traveling through the wilderness of Northern California's Bluff Creek, two rugged rodeo men ventured into the unknown on October 20, 1967. Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin, armed with little more than a 16mm camera, stumbled upon a sight that would mystify the world for decades. In just 59 seconds, their grainy footage captured a massive, hairy figure striding through the forest with a deliberate gait, her glance back at the camera a blend of contempt and mystery. Was this the Sasquatch of Native American lore, a living relic from a forgotten age, or a clever hoax.Join us today as we delve Within the Mists of California, we discover a spectral artifact that has ignited fierce debate, inspired countless expeditions, and left an indelible mark on the paranormal… the Patterson-Gimlin filmFacebook Fan Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/544933724571696Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/withinthemistpodcast/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@withinthemistpodcast1977 Hosted on Acast.

Everyone's seen the film. That brief, haunting footage shot in the woods of Bluff Creek, California in 1967—claimed by many to be the most compelling evidence of Bigfoot ever captured on camera.But the real story? It didn't unfold in front of the lens. It happened behind it.In this episode, we go deeper than the grainy frames and legendary figure striding into the forest. We explore the lives of Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin—the two men who filmed it—and the toll that single day would take on both of them. Patterson, a true believer, would spend the rest of his short life chasing the unknown, building plans for expeditions he would never complete. Gimlin, the reluctant witness, was hounded into silence for decades before finally re-emerging as the last living link to that day.We also examine the conflicting claims, the so-called costume designer who came forward years later without receipts or replicas, and the enduring mystery that refuses to fade.Behind every famous event, there are the people who lived it.

On October 20, 1967, two cowboys rode into a remote California creek bed and emerged with 59.5 seconds of film that would divide science, captivate the world, and spawn a mystery that endures to this day. Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin claimed they encountered and filmed a massive, hair-covered, bipedal creature that would become known as Bigfoot.Their brief, shaky footage—particularly the iconic Frame 352 showing the creature looking back over its shoulder—has become the most analyzed, debated, and controversial piece of film in cryptozoological history.In this deep dive into one of America's most enduring mysteries, we explore the complete story of the Patterson-Gimlin Film. From Roger Patterson's obsessive quest to find Bigfoot to his desperate final expedition when he could least afford it, from the moment of the encounter to the media frenzy that followed, we unravel the human drama behind the footage.We meet Patterson, the dreamer and artist who spent his life chasing shadows in the Pacific Northwest, and Bob Gimlin, the practical horseman who found himself at the center of a controversy he never sought.The narrative takes us through the film's explosive impact on popular culture, the scientific community's struggle to explain or dismiss it, and the decades of analysis that have followed. We examine the compelling evidence that supporters say proves the film's authenticity—from the creature's anatomically consistent proportions to its distinctive compliant gait, from the dermal ridges in its footprints to the muscle movement visible beneath its fur.We also confront the skeptics' arguments—the convenient timing of Patterson's success, the possibility of a sophisticated hoax, and the troubling absence of corroborating physical evidence despite decades of searching.Through exclusive insights into the personal costs borne by both men, we see how the film transformed their lives. Patterson would die just five years later, still defending his footage, while Gimlin would spend decades living with the burden of being either a witness to history or the victim of an elaborate deception. We explore the confessions of alleged hoaxers, the modern digital analysis that has both supported and challenged the film's authenticity, and the psychological reasons why this particular piece of footage continues to captivate us more than half a century later.As we journey from that October afternoon to the present day, we discover that the Patterson-Gimlin Film is more than just potential evidence of an unknown primate. It's a mirror reflecting our relationship with the unknown, our need for mystery in an increasingly mapped world, and our eternal hope that somewhere in the shrinking wilderness, wonders still wait to be discovered.Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or simply curious about one of the great unsolved mysteries of our time, this episode offers the most comprehensive exploration of the film that made Bigfoot a household name and turned a brief encounter at Bluff Creek into an enduring enigma.Join us for a journey into the heart of American folklore, where the line between myth and reality blurs, where two men's afternoon ride became a cultural phenomenon, and where 59.5 seconds of film continue to challenge our understanding of what might be possible in the vast forests of the Pacific Northwest.
