Omega Frequency: Persecuted Christians Under Nero – Similar to What’s Coming

Posted on by admin

This was a great interview I had with BDK on the Omega Frequency podcast.

Listen to it here.

Episode 94 features an in-depth look at some of the challenges the first generation of Christians faced while living under the rule of Nero. Under the Emperor Nero Rome prided it self on it’s multiculturalism. Early Christians faced many of the same cultural issues we face today. It might shock people to learn that under Rome, Christians had to stand against issues that we find ourselves wrestling with today. Because they would not compromise their faith, Nero branded them “the haters of the world”! Nero also blames the Great Fire of Rome on the Christians. This leads to the horrific persecution of the early church including the martyrdom of the apostles Peter and Paul. How did the earliest followers of Christ stand firm in their faith while living under the rule of a tyrant?

Of course, Christians in Muslim majority countries are already being persecuted in a similar manner. But it is rising in the U.S. too.


Fight the Bible Prophecy Industrial Complex

Are You Sick of “End Times” Same Ol’ Same Ol’?

I am. That’s why I went on the Alexxcast to talk about a new way of seeing Jesus’ prophecy about the End of the Age.

Alexx is not a Christian, but he is very open to hearing other viewpoints, so I do explain a lot of basics to help those who are not as familiar with the typical “Left Behind” scenario, and then I explain where it is wrong, so wrong.

And just what is right, so right. You gotta listen to find out. I promise it is informative and entertaining.

Everything You’ve Heard About the Apocalypse is Wrong

Posted on by admin

 

Okay, maybe not EVERYTHING. But certainly most things. Shocking, but true. The typical scenario of a rapture, Antichrist, 7 year Tribulation etc. all in our future simply doesn’t hold up to Scripture. Find out where you can begin to discover a more biblical way of reading the End Times through the context of the ancient Jewish mindset not our own modern one.

I was on Off the Grid Podcast talking about my new series, Chronicles of the Apocalypse. It was a good show. Very informative and helpful.

Check out the podcast here.

Here is what they write about the interview:

Brian tells us:

  • Why he sees modern-day parallels between the times of Emperor Nero, who persecuted Christians, and events of today.
  • How the theology behind “Chronicles of the Apocalypse” differs from the “Left Behind” books.
  • Why Christians should not be afraid of reading biblical fantasy books – and how such books can encourage them.

Finally, Brian tells us how his interpretation of the book of Revelation differs from the more popular “Left Behind” interpretation.

We learned a lot about Scripture and the apocalypse during our discussion with Brian, and we know you will, too!

Conspirinormal Podcast Interview: Godawa on Chronicles of the Apocalypse

Posted on by admin

This was a great interview with a great host, Adam Sayne.

You are gonna love it. First off, he introduces the audience to the basic schools of eschatology and the end times.

Then at around 30:00 I come on and talk about the theological foundation of my new novel series, Chronicles of the Apocalypse.

I tell my own story of how I changed my view on the end times, I address Matthew 24 and the Last Days, the problem of hyperliteralism, as well as the ancient Hebrew background to understanding the imagery of the book of Revelation.

Sleep Paralysis: Demons or Neuroscience? Peeranormal Podcast

Posted on by admin

I cohosted this podcast with Dr. Mike Heiser, Natalina, Doug Van Dorn, Doug Overmyer and Trey Stricklin.

Sleep paralysis can be defined in several ways. In terms of the experiencer, it can be described as “a visitation by a malevolent creature which attacked its victims as they slept” (Cox). More clinically, sleep paralysis is understood as “a transient,conscious state of involuntary immobility occurring when falling asleep or upon wakening” (Cheyne, 2002). Research into sleep paralysis has produced compelling evidence that the phenomenon can be explained by brain chemistry and physiology in conjunction with REM sleep. But is that all there is to it?

PEERANORMAL Episode 3:
EVP – Electronic Voice Phenomena
Be There Ghosts?

Posted on by admin

Electronic Voice Phenomena

Hosted by Dr. Mike Heiser, author of the game-changer in supernatural theology, The Unseen Realm. This episode features co-hosts Brian Godawa (hey, that’s me!), Natalina (Beyond Extraordinary podcast), Trey (Naked Bible podcast), Doug Overseer (Seers See Ministries), and Pastor Doug Van Dorn (author, Giants: Sons of the Gods).

We talk about respectable peer-reviewed analysis of this phenomena that is one of the more sensational elements of paranormal shows like Ghost Hunters and Ghost Adventurers, and Ghost Worshippers (Okay, just kidding on that last one). But we do deal a bit with the Biblical prohibition of talking to the dead, which is what this phenomenon is actually a modern day version of.

But are the claims of EVP real, artificial or something else?

  • Why he chose to write about China – and how his novel can help us better understand our modern-day world.
