What are Giants in the Bible? Interview with Douglas Van Dorn

Have you ever wondered where Goliath came from? Or why the story of David and Goliath is in the Bible beyond just being a moral lesson? What if the giants mentioned in Genesis 6, the Nephilim, held deeper, more unsettling truths?

Join us as we explore these questions with Douglas Van Dorn, the author of "Giants: Sons of the Gods." We'll discuss:

  • The origins and significance of giants in the Bible: Why are they mentioned, and what is their importance in biblical history?

  • The mysterious Nephilim: What does Genesis 6 reveal about these supernatural beings?

  • Goliath and his brothers: Did you know Goliath had siblings, including one with 24 fingers and toes? What is their ancestry, and why does it matter?

  • The resurgence of interest among Bible-believing scholars: Why is the ancient view of the Nephilim making a comeback, and what does it mean for our understanding of Scripture?

  • The invisible, supernatural storyline: How does understanding the giants and the Nephilim change our perspective on the ministry and work of Jesus Christ?

Discover fascinating, sobering insights about the giants of the Bible and their ongoing significance today.

Join us in the Live Chat on Monday, July 15 at 4:00 p.m. CDT/UTC-5.

Examining the Role of Angels in the Church

Can we partner with angels? Should we? Join us as we examine the role of angels in the church. We'll tackle pressing questions and explore the biblical perspective on interacting with these celestial beings.

  • Can we work alongside angels in our spiritual journey? What does the Bible say about this?

  • Is it possible to participate with angels in worship or other spiritual activities?

  • Is it biblical or appropriate to pray to angels? What guidance does Scripture offer?

  • Can believers command angels, and if so, under what circumstances?

  • What are the ethical considerations and boundaries for interacting with angels according to the Bible?

Whether you're curious about the role of angels in your faith or seeking clarity on controversial practices, this discussion aims to shed light on the heavenly hosts and their place in the life of believers.

ASK YOUR QUESTIONS:

Have a theology question? Drop it here. While we can't guarantee we'll tackle every question, we'll dive into one or two each week. So, fire away and let's explore together!

Manuel from San Antonio, Texas: What’s is y’all’s view on “baptism in the Holy Spirit?” Is it the traditional Pentecostal view on the subsequent event from initial salvation or the more historic orthodox stance of the initial means of grace of being regenerated? Do y’all have an episode I can listen on the topic?

Answer: Yes, we do! Here is a show presenting both sides.

SHOWS LAST WEEK:

If you missed joining us for the Live Chat, you can still catch the episodes:

Jesus and the Powers: Interview with Dr. Michael Bird

We welcome back Dr. Michael Bird to discuss his latest book co-authored with N.T. Wright, "Jesus and the Powers: Christian Political Witness in an Age of Totalitarian Terror and Dysfunctional Democracies."

In their book, Wright and Bird explore the critical question of how Christians should engage with politics. Should we withdraw to maintain our prophetic voice, or should we actively participate to influence political systems? They call on Christians to discern their witness in today's fractured political environment, amidst the rise of autocracies, fear, and fragmentation.

Combining political theology, biblical insights, and church history, "Jesus and the Powers" argues for a kingdom-oriented approach to politics. Wright and Bird emphasize confronting empire in all its forms and promoting democratic societies while opposing autocracy and nationalism. They delve into the relevance of this approach to current events, including the Russian-Ukraine conflict, China-Taiwan tensions, and political turmoil in the USA, UK, and Australia.

Learn how Christians can navigate and engage with politics in a way that aligns with Jesus's kingdom and contributes to the common good.

Is Praise & Worship Spiritual Warfare?

Worship and praise are fundamental aspects of the Christian faith, but can they also serve as powerful weapons in spiritual battles?

Join us as we explore the biblical foundations and theological perspectives on the role of praise in spiritual warfare. We'll examine key scriptural passages, such as 2 Chronicles 20:21-22, where King Jehoshaphat appointed singers to lead his army into battle, and Acts 16:25-26, where Paul and Silas's hymns in prison led to a miraculous earthquake and their subsequent release. These stories suggest that praise can indeed shift the spiritual atmosphere and bring about divine intervention.

We'll also discuss practical ways believers can incorporate praise into their daily spiritual practices to combat spiritual oppression and foster a deeper connection with God. Our conversation will address questions like: How does praise impact the spiritual realm? Can worship dismantle strongholds and bring about deliverance? What are the implications of viewing praise as a strategic element in spiritual warfare?

Tune in to uncover the spiritual power of praise and its potential to transform battles into victories through worship. Don't miss this opportunity to deepen your understanding of how praise can be a significant tool in your spiritual journey.
