Renowned Bible scholar, author, friend, and mentor Dr. Michael 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 with Derek Gilbert 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.
I was on Derek Gilbert’s channel again, the podcast Iron and Myth.
Who or what are demons? Where do they come from, and how are they different from fallen angels?
Author and pastor Doug Van Dorn, bestselling author and award-winning screenwriter Brian Godawa, and Director of the Institute of Biblical Anthropology Dr. Judd Burton join best-selling author and biblical researcher Derek Gilbert for our monthly Iron and Myth round table to discuss evil spirits of the unseen realm—and the connections between the heroes of Greek mythology and the Nephilim of the Bible.
I was on this podcast, Shekinah Publishing.
It was a great time. In Part One I gave my personal testimony of my faith in Hollywood and writing novels with an eye toward subverting the culture with positive Christian faith.
In part two, I talk about having a positive Christian vision for culture rather than the defeatist approach.
So many Christians are overcome by the vast evil in this world, and it is really there.
But how do you live the Bible truth that “Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world”?
Check them out. These are real heartfelt discussions.
I was on The Mad Ones Podcast with Cam Harliss.
The episode is titled: Episode 161 – Reversing Hermon: When God Became Man with Brian Godawa
It is THE best detailed summary of the divine council worldview in the Bible that I have ever given.
And it works into the incarnation of Jesus the Christ and the sonship of Christians.
You gotta listen to this one. it will become a classic.

I was on the Iron and Myth podcast again. This one is going to fascinate you.
IS CHAOS a symbol of disorder, or is it, as certain passages in the Bible suggest, an entity?
Back this month for another in our Iron and Myth series are Brian Godawa (www.godawa.com), author of Leviathan and Behemoth, Pastor Doug Van Dorn (www.douglasvandorn.com), author of Giants: Sons of the Gods, and Dr. Judd Burton (www.burtonbeyond.com), author of Interview with the Giant: Ethnohistorical Notes on the Nephilim.
We discuss the various ways chaos is described in the Bible (Leviathan, Rahab, a multi-headed sea dragon, and the sea itself), the apparent struggle to subdue chaos in scripture and in pagan cultures of the ancient world, and the disturbing connection between chaos and the modern UFO phenomenon.
THE DEATH OF THE GODS is prophesied in the Bible.
This is not in dispute, unless one argues that God Himself was mistaken in calling the pagan gods of the ancient world “gods.”
(See, for example, Exodus 12:12 and Psalm 82.)
Pastor Doug Van Dorn, author Brian Godawa, and Dr. Judd Burton join Derek Gilbert for a monthly ‘Iron and Myth’ session to discuss the death of the gods: When will it happen—or has it happened already?
This is a great interview with TruthSeekah.
If you are fascinated by God’s supernatural reality in the Bible, you will love this episode.
This is one of the more interesting interviews I’ve done because Derek sees things from a different perspective than many, so his questions explore some unique ideas.
You will find this captivating.
All about Moses and the gods of Egypt.
This is a great interview I had with Ricky Pope for Christian Nerds Unite.
It is a good strong explanation and introduction into what is the whole point of Nephilim in the Bible.
But also: Hollywood Worldviews, Movies about Bible stories, as well as Biblical values in movies.

I had this first part interview with Ricky Pope of Christian Nerds Unite about my spiritual warfare novels.
Which is cool, cause I’m kind of a Christian Nerd myself, so I felt at home!
You’re gonna enjoy this one.

THE SONS OF GOD saw that the daughters of men were fair, and they took as their wives any they chose.
This story is at the root of many of the spiritual practices of the ancient world—pagan, Jewish, and Christian.
But when did the transgression of the bene ha-elohim take place?
We’re joined again by screenwriter and novelist Brian Godawa, pastor and author Doug Van Dorn (https://douglasvandorn.com/), and archaeologist and author Dr. Judd Burton (burtonbeyond.com/) for our latest edition of Iron and Myth. We discuss the fall of the Watchers, including some fascinating passages in Numbers and Isaiah that may be prophecies of the ultimate destruction of the rebellious Watchers and their hybrid offspring, the Nephilim.
