The Radio Signal of the Resistance – Lament in Occupied Territory
We often treat the world as a playground or a classroom, but we rarely treat it as a battlefield. In our modern, sterilized version of spirituality, we are taught to see every tragedy as a "teachable moment" or a hidden blessing. We have been conditioned to believe that if we just have enough faith, the…

I’ve been thinking a lot about how we handle pain in the church. Most of the time, we try to fix it, ignore it, or explain it away with a quick Bible verse. But what if our tears aren't a problem to be solved? What if they're actually part of our job description? This is…

Why Everyone Is Talking About UAPs and Genesis 6 (And How a Supernatural Worldview Helps)
It’s hard to scroll through a news feed lately without tripping over a headline about UAPs: Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena. What used to be the fringe obsession of people in tin-foil hats has moved into congressional hearings, Pentagon reports, and serious journalistic inquiries. We’ve gone from “Is anyone out there?” to “They’re here, and we don’t…

Futurist Premillennialism vs. Amillennialism: Why the Future Matters
We often treat the end of the world like a Rorschach test: we look at the strange, swirling inkblots of Revelation and see whatever our theological tradition has trained us to see. For many, the “end times” is a dusty silo, a place where people argue about charts and helicopters while the rest of us…

Apocalyptic Literature in the Bible: What It Is, What It Is Not, and Why It Matters
Few areas of the Bible are more misunderstood than apocalyptic literature. To a lot of modern readers, these texts feel strange because they are full of symbols, visions, heavenly scenes, and images that do not fit neatly into our ordinary categories. But in the Bible, this kind of writing is not random or meaningless. It…

The Three Rebellions and Cosmic War
We often treat the Bible as a collection of moral lessons or private devotional material, but the text keeps resisting that tame reduction. What emerges instead is a cosmic conflict, and that’s exactly why ideas like the Deuteronomy 32 Worldview have become so compelling for many of us. Michael S. Heiser helped recover that interpretive…

Expectant and Grounded: Why I’m an Active Continuationist with a Bible in My Hands
For many of us, the conversation surrounding spiritual gifts feels like a choice between two equally sterile rooms. On one side, we have the cessationist silo: a space where the supernatural has been safely relegated to the first century, locked away in a museum of “apostolic credentials.” It is a tame world, governed by a logic…

The Future of Israel: Why the Church Hasn’t Replaced God’s First People
We have a tendency to treat the Bible like a software update. We look at the Old Testament as "Beta 1.0": clunky, localized, and eventually superseded by the sleek, universal "Church 2.0" of the New Testament. In this "tame" modern paradigm, the ethnic people of Israel are often viewed as a temporary scaffolding, useful for…

“Today You Will Be With Me in Paradise”: The Stunning Theology Behind Jesus’ Words to the Thief on the Cross
One of the most profound statements Jesus ever made came while He was dying. Hanging on the cross beside a criminal, Jesus said: “Truly I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.” Luke 23:43 At first glance, it feels simple and comforting. But underneath that sentence is an enormous amount of…

Why Michael S. Heiser Will Change the Way You Read Your Bible
We often approach the Bible like a tame garden, well-manicured, predictable, and safely fenced off from the "weirdness" of the ancient world. We’ve been conditioned by centuries of modern rationalism to treat the Scriptures as a collection of moral aphorisms or a systematic checklist for legal standing. But what if we’ve been reading it in…
