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.
He was a great interviewer and I talked about the issues of the historicity of Moses and the Exodus, who was the Pharaoh of the Exodus, and the nature of symbolic mythopoeic images in the novels like Leviathan and Behemoth.
I am on the premiere of Josh Peck’s return with The Sharpening Report.
We talk about all things Moses and Egypt.
We talk about the unseen realm and how it plays in Scripture.
We talk about the big themes in Moses’s life story: Fatherhood, heroism, family, love and romance, and of course, Monotheism vs. polytheism. Are the gods real. Is Egyptian magic real?
Jeff and Summit Ministries are deep thinking and helpful in making sense of our world.
Award-winning screenwriter, director, and author Brian Godawa reveals the struggles of Hollywood, how all stories implicitly deliver worldviews, and staying true to Christ in everything we do.
His journey as a storyteller, first in Hollywood, then as a best-selling author.
From Derek’s Channel: It’s a virtual roundtable this week as we’re joined by three men who have invested a lot of time and energy into untangling scripture from myths and legends of the ancient world to understand why the Hebrew prophets and apostles were led to include giants in the Bible.
Taking part in the discussion, which may well become a regular feature, are:
* Author and screenwriter Brian Godawa (www.godawa.com)
* Pastor and author Doug Van Dorn (www.douglasvandorn.com)
* Archaeologist, historian, author, and teacher Dr. Judd Burton (www.burtonbeyond.com, www.tioba.org)
Among other topics, we discuss the motives of the rebellious “sons of God” referred to in Genesis 6:1–4, how they hope to escape the sentence of death God proclaimed in Psalm 82, and whether verse 1 of that psalm describes a courtroom scene in God’s divine council or His intrusion into the “council of El,” creator-god of the pagan Canaanites.
