“God isn’t a God of countries but of His people.”
God’s kingdom is not of the world as Christ Himself once stated, but most folks are still supporting a dangerous “Holy Land” and Old Covenant “chosen people” theology that violates the New Covenant of Jesus Christ. The Gospel itself.
In this interview, author Brian Godawa gives both his testimony and insights into this controversial subject within today’s churches.
We also discuss Dispensationalism, “Replacement Theology,” and Covenant Theology.
The so-called silent centuries between the books of Malachi and Matthew in the Bible were not as quiet as we’ve been told.
Award-winning screenwriter and best-selling novelist Brian Godawa (Godawa.com) joins us to discuss the latest entries in his Chronicles of the Watchers series, Judah Maccabee Part 1: The Abomination of Desolation and Judah Maccabee Part 2: Against the Gods of Greece.
Brian tells us why he chose this period of relatively unfamiliar Jewish history (unfamiliar to Christians, anyway) to dramatize spiritual warfare, explains why the Septuagint translation of the Old Testament is relevant to Christians, and reveals where in the Apocrypha we find accounts of angels fighting against the Greeks for the Jews.
Part 2 of the novel set, Judah Maccabee, has just been released in Kindle, Paperback, Hardcover or Large Print on Amazon.com!
Judah Maccabee – Parts 1 & 2, are supernatural epic novels about the Abomination of Desolation predicted by the Bible prophet Daniel. Reluctant warrior Judah Maccabee leads a Jewish revolt against the Greek tyrant king Antiochus Epiphanes that results in the origin of the festival of Hanukkah in the Apocrypha. Respected Christian author, biblically faithful, spiritual warfare novel.
Part 2 of 2 novels has just been released!
Don’t miss out. Get Judah Maccabee – Part 1: Abomination of Desolation.
And Judah Maccabee – Part 2: Against the Gods of Greece.
This is actually one of my best most thorough explanations of the Rephaim in the Bible.
Kyle and Ben are joined by author and screenwriter Brian Godawa to discuss the Rephaim, the legendary post-flood giants of the Bible, and their habitation of the promised land.
If you’re looking for evidence of a global catastrophe followed by a mysterious civilization that somehow survived, you might not start with the Americas.
However, contrarian investigator and author Graham Hancock has done just that with season 2 of his Netflix series Ancient Apocalypse.
Our Iron and Myth crew gather to discuss Hancock’s work in this second season.
Joining us at the virtual round table is Dr. Judd Burton (www.BurtonBeyond.net), author of Interview with the Giant, Doug Van Dorn (www.douglasvandorn.com), author of Giants: Sons of the Gods, and Brian Godawa (www.Godawa.com), best-selling author of the theological thriller Cruel Logic, and a mew novel based on the period of the Maccabees in Judea.
Ancient Apocalypse is very well done. We discuss the questions it raises about lost civilizations, and the implications of new archaeological discoveries.
We critique the documentary’s potential biases and the role of propaganda in shaping narratives.
The discussion also touches on the connections between ancient myths, geometric patterns, and the use of hallucinogenic substances in historical contexts, ultimately emphasizing the importance of understanding different worldviews in interpreting archaeological findings.
We appreciate Hancock for asking the right questions. However, he’s got a great big blind spot right in front of the answers.

It’s official—Apologetics for an Ever-Changing Culture is out soon! I’m thrilled to have contributed to this unique book, a gospel-centered and practical guide for upholding the Christian faith in our cultural context. My contribution is all about narrative apologetics.
In my chapter, I examine Acts 17 and Paul’s subversion of the Stoic narrative with a Christian worldview narrative.
My chapter is adapted from my books God Against the gods, and The Imagination of God.

PART OF A SERIES
Chronicles of the Watchers is a novel series of Bible heroes who fight supernatural enemies of God in spiritual warfare against the Seed of the Serpent.
In this engaging conversation, Jenny Mire, Brian Godawa, and Pastor Mark Hammer delve into significant theological themes, particularly focusing on Israel and Bible prophecy, as well as the concept of subversive storytelling in the Bible.
They discuss the implications of modern interpretations of Israel’s role in prophecy, the dangers of a defeatist mentality within the church, and the transformative power of storytelling in shaping beliefs and understanding the gospel.
For those who love to read the biblical and historical research behind my novels, you are going to absolutely love this new book release.
Stay tuned, because I will be announcing the release of my next novel set Judah Maccabee within the next week or so.
There was a four-hundred-year gap between the last Old Testament prophet and the New Testament arrival of Jesus Christ. It’s called the Intertestamental period.
What many people don’t realize is that there were some very significant things happening and they were related to the Bible and its prophecies as described by the prophet Daniel.
This book explores some of the biblical and historical meaning of it all.
This book contains the biblical and historical research behind Godawa’s novels Judah Maccabee: Parts 1&2, of the series Chronicles of the Watchers.
But don’t worry, you don’t have to read the Judah Maccabee novels to get the tremendous biblical value out of this book.
