EP: 369 Mars Hill and The Council of Gods with Dr. Joel Muddamalle
"In him we live and move and have our being." When Paul quoted the Greek poet Epimenides at Mars Hill in Acts 17, the Athenian philosophers weren't confused—they knew exactly what he was referencing. Their council of gods. In this LIVE from Blurry Con preview, Dr. Joel Muddamalle explains that Greek philosophy included a divine hierarchy ruling over nations and territories, strikingly similar to what Scripture describes in Deuteronomy 32:8. When God judged humanity at Babel, He didn't just scatter the nations—He disinherited them, assigning each to divine beings called "sons of God." These weren't decorative angels; they were governing authorities with real power over territories. The Greeks called them gods. The Hebrews understood them as rebellious divine council members. Paul, standing in the intellectual epicenter of the ancient world, used their own theology against them: "That council you worship? They're defeated rebels. The 'Unknown God' you acknowledge but don't know? That's Yahweh—and His Son Jesus Christ has authority over every power you've been serving."
Joel walks through how Paul's Mars Hill sermon connects to the entire biblical narrative of spiritual warfare: the serpent's Eden rebellion, Babel's cosmic judgment, Mount Hermon where divine beings (Watchers) descended and corrupted the nations they were supposed to steward, and ultimately Christ's victory reclaiming all territory and authority. This is why Paul could confidently quote Greek poets—he wasn't compromising truth, he was revealing it through a framework the Greeks already understood. Joel explains what the divine council is, why geography matters in spiritual warfare, where demons originate (not fallen angels—Scripture doesn't teach that), how territorial spirits function, and why missions and prayer look different when you understand cosmic geography. The Greeks believed in a council of gods ruling over territories. Paul said: You're right about the structure, but wrong about who's in charge. Christ has defeated them all and reclaimed His rightful dominion. This conversation bridges ancient philosophy, Hebrew theology, and practical spiritual warfare—showing they're not contradictory but complementary when understood correctly. Whether you're trying to make sense of Ephesians 6, understand missions strategy, or grasp what Christ actually accomplished, Joel provides the framework Scripture assumes but Western rationalism has stripped away.

EP: 368 Tall Whites in the Tennessee Woods: A Terrifying Encounter with Matt Larson *members only trailer
Tennessee's forests hide something most people refuse to acknowledge: tall white beings that appear, watch, and vanish. Matt Larson knows—he encountered them. Walking through remote woods, he came across entities that defied explanation: humanoid figures, impossibly tall and pale, with features that were almost human but disturbingly wrong. They weren't animals. They weren't people. They were something else entirely, and they were watching him with clear intelligence. The encounter lasted only moments, but the implications have haunted him ever since. Who—or what—are the tall whites? Why do they appear in forests? Are they the same entities reported by military personnel at classified facilities, or something different? And why do so many people across America report nearly identical experiences in wooded areas—tall, pale figures that seem to phase in and out of visibility?In this members-only exclusive, we unpack Matt's decades of experience with the abduction phenomenon—greys, missing time, medical examinations—gave him unique context for understanding this woods encounter. After years of torment and research, he discovered these entities, including the tall whites, immediately cease when confronted with Christ's authority. During encounters, calling on Jesus caused them to react with visceral hatred and flee. This wasn't theory—it was repeatable, demonstrable spiritual warfare. We discuss the nature of tall white beings, why they manifest in remote forests, how they relate to other cryptid and UFO encounters, whether they're physical or interdimensional (or both), the mechanics of how demonic entities can appear in seemingly solid form, and why mainstream researchers avoid the spiritual component. Matt also addresses practical questions: How do you protect yourself in the woods? What should you do if you encounter these beings? Why are sightings increasing? This episode connects the dots between UFO abductions, forest cryptids, and spiritual warfare—revealing they may all be connected to the same deceptive enemy operating under different disguises.

EP: 367 Healing Leaves & The Tree of Life: Uncovering Biblical Health Secrets with Dr. Josh Axe and Jordan Rubin
What if the cure for cancer, diabetes, and chronic disease has been hiding in Scripture all along—not as metaphor, but as literal medicine growing in your backyard? What if the Bible has laid out the best practices for our nutrition?Dr. Josh Axe (bestselling author and functional medicine practitioner) and Jordan Rubin (founder of Garden of Life, author of The Maker's Diet) join us to discuss their groundbreaking book The Biblio Diet, which synthesizes 6,000 years of biblical nutrition into practical health wisdom for modern Christians. Both men survived death-defying diagnoses—Jordan overcame terminal Crohn's disease and metastatic cancer, while Josh recovered from a spinal infection that doctors said would permanently disable him.We discuss what Solomon actually ate (spoiler: bread and red meat—things no modern diet recommends), why the food pyramid is inverted, how Big Pharma's "sorcery" (pharmakeia in Greek) has deceived nations, and why pork and shellfish aren't in God's definition of "food."But the revelation that changes everything? Ezekiel 47:12 and Revelation 22:2 both describe the Tree of Life's leaves as medicine for healing nations. Not metaphorically. Literally. Join us for a journey deep into the scriptures, offering a remarkable deep dive into ancient truths for modern bodies in need of restoration.

EP: 364 The Ark of the Covenant: Ethopian Secrets and The Shipwreck of Paul with Bob Cornuke *members only trailer
What if the Ark of the Covenant isn't lost—it's just hidden in plain sight? Bob Cornuke returns for a second episode, exclusively for members, to share explosive revelations from twenty-two expeditions to Ethiopia, where Orthodox monks guard what they believe is the actual Ark. With unprecedented access to Lake Tana's sacred island and trust earned from four generations of Ark guardians, Bob traces a compelling 2,700-year timeline from Solomon's Temple to modern-day Axum. He presents archaeological evidence, including tent peg holes matching tabernacle dimensions, ancient artifacts, and historical documents that map the Ark's journey through Egypt's Elephantine Island before reaching Ethiopia. With 98% certainty, Bob explains why Ethiopian Christians protect a decaying wooden box they believe houses the Ten Commandments, guarded by a keeper who dedicates his entire life to watching over it, never leaving the building. The conversation shifts to Malta, where Bob tracked down four massive anchors from Paul's shipwreck—discovered by local divers at the exact location and depth described in Acts 27, with odds of coincidence at 10 to the 50th power according to Chuck Missler's calculations. The episode reaches its emotional peak when Bob shares a never-before-told story of a prophetic vision that led him to save a paralyzed Ethiopian man's life, transforming his access to Ethiopia's most guarded spiritual secrets and his understanding of divine purpose.
