I had one of my favorite interviews by my new friends at The Not Too Dissident Future Podcast, Mel and Andy.
We talk about the Nephilim, the Unseen Realm, Giants, Leviathan, and transition to the End Times, why so many Christians get it so wrong and what Jesus really said about it.
The coolness is just beginning.
You’re going to love this one! They’re great interviewers.
I (Brian Godawa) was on this podcast about Halloween with Michael Heiser, Natalina Howeshell, Doug Van Dorn, Doug Overmyer and Trey Stricklin.
“Samhain” (pronounced “sow-in,” with the “ow” like in “cow,” or “sow-een,” with “ow” as in “glow”) is an Irish Gaelic term for the time of “summer’s end,” as well as a festival to mark the end of the harvest season and the onset of winter which, in the Gaelic / Celtic calendar, marked the beginning of the year.
Because the Celtic day began and ended at sunset, not sunrise, the festival was traditionally celebrated from October 31 to November 1. Samhaim is the ancient backdrop to Halloween, not only in terms of the calendar, but also in terms of basically all the modern elements of that holiday.
This episode investigates the history of Samhain and its curious links to the ancient biblical worldview of demons, giants, and the realm of the dead.
True story of the Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell whose infanticide and other criminal activities were ignored by the government and the media for decades, resulting in the cover-up of the worst serial killer in American history.
I got to see an advance screening of this new amazing movie coming out THIS WEEKEND. You must see it. Because Hollywood does not want you to. Why? Why did NPR and Facebook censor the ads for this movie? Why does the Left hate it?
Because it’s a great movie about the truth that they all suppress.
Believe it or not, this is NOT a “pro-life political” movie. It is a thrilling courtroom drama about a serial killer and how justice was delayed for a criminal monster. It is a movie about the cover-up of crimes and how the system and political bias of those in power feed that cover-up. This is no different than Erin Brockovich, Michael Clayton, Spotlight, The Insider, The Verdict, A Civil Action, China Syndrome and many other Hollywood conspiracy movies. The only difference is that Gosnell is about a politically incorrect villain so you would have never had the opportunity to see this unique movie if it were not for the brave, courageous storytelling of its producers, Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney (They also wrote a NYT Bestselling book by the same title). I have mentioned previously on this blog that I have had the privilege to work with them and I believe they are two of the most heroic storytellers in filmmaking today.
Secondly, this is NOT a gross-out horror movie (though it could easily have been). There are no in-your-face grotesque images of what Gosnell actually did. A few creepy moments, but NO GROSS VISUALS. They didn’t need to show them. Your imagination fills it in. The director, Nick Searcy, had the creative foresight to understand that it would take the focus off the amazing story and turn off their mainstream audience. It would also get them branded as “Anti-abortion propagandists” by the Media Goliath. This movie is no more explicit than an episode of most television legal or detective procedurals.
It’s safe to watch.
This is actually a detective and legal drama that focuses on the detective who was a part of uncovering the crimes, James Wood (played by Dean Cain), and the D.A., a “pro-choice” liberal (played by Sarah Jane Morris) who both seek the truth no matter where it leads. Hers is a deeply personal journey of discovery and the honesty it takes to face one’s own bias in a world of high stakes and consequences.
That pursuit of truth, regardless of political affiliation, is mostly absent from our once-great culture. Those who are in power in the most influential institutions of the government and the media use their positions of influence to promote their political agenda and destroy their opponents, NOT to uncover the truth. Truth dies in darkness. And that of course is the theme of Gosnell.
I just published this article on Speculative Faith.
It’s called “Spiritual Warfare Novels, Fantasy, and the Bible”
p.s. the book is only on sale until this Friday, Aug 31.
For the next few days only.
Don’t be left behind in missing this Origin Story of the Book of Revelation.
Here is the premise: Rome, A.D. 65. A Roman warrior and his Jewish servant are ordered by the evil emperor Nero to track down a secret Christian document that undermines the Roman empire and predicts the end of the world. But they’re not prepared for the spiritual warfare they’ve unleashed. The truth behind the origin of the most controversial book of the Bible: Revelation. A historical conspiracy thriller with angels and demons.
It’s kinda like Game of Thrones meets Frank Peretti. And it’s meticulously researched for historical accuracy.
I’ve seen this movie. It’s important, very important.
Check out the trailer here.
You’ll want to see it when it comes out in October.
I had a great interview with Mark Combs on the podcast Splinter in the Mind’s Eye.
We talked about the nature of writing biblical fiction and some of the personal aspects of storytelling.
We also talked about my new novel Resistant: Revolt of the Jews and the most important event in ancient Israel’s history that many Christians know very little about.
I had a unique interview with Adam Sayne on Conspirinormal.
New stuff about end times delusions as well as my book Resistant: Revolt of the Jews.
Is Bible prophecy all about the modern ethnic or nation state of Israel?
Nope. And I’ll tell you why…
My interview starts at the 77:00 minute mark.
I had a very in-depth and intense discussion on TruthSeekah about my new book Resistant: Revolt of the Jews and why all the Christian Bible prophecy pundits are always wrong in their predictions about the End Times.
They are ALWAYS wrong. Over and over and over.
It is time to start considering a new way of looking at Bible Prophecy about the Last Days. It is NOT what they told you.
We had a deep talk about how Christians fundamentally misunderstand the End Times as being about our time period, when in fact, Revelation was written for the First Century time period.
I give some proofs from the text of the Bible itself to show that this is the case, and explain how to understand Revelation through the eyes of the ancient writers and readers of Scripture.
This episode is the final in our series on quantum mechanics and its presumed relationship to metaphysical ideas, religion, theology, and the paranormal. As in Part 1 and Part 2, our panel welcomes Dr. Rob (“Putty”) Putman, who holds a PhD in theoretical quantum physics, but who is presently pastoring a church in Illinois. In this third and final episode, we focus on the phenomenon of quantum entanglement and ask questions about quantum computing and what metaphysical statements are reasonable to make on the basis of entanglement. Is everything in the universe connected? Is the statement “all is one” scientifically valid?
