Last week, in a historic moment, three former military officials told Congress that they believe the government knows much more about UFOs/UAPs than it has publicly revealed. Whistleblower testimony in a Congressional House Oversight hearing revealed startling testimony alleging factions of the government, military contractors, and agencies are in possession of "non-human" biologics. David Grusch, a former U.S. intelligence official, told the congressional panel he is "absolutely" certain the U.S. government is in possession of non-human technology and biologics and has had some of this material for decades. To unwrap what happened on this day of testimony, and try to make sense of the entire situation, we welcome back author and explorer Tim Alberino. Tim walks us through the actual happenings in the Congressional Oversight subcommittee, the whistleblower testimony, and the implications of the testimonies if true. He also gives his personal take on the breaking news and how he believes Christians in particular should think about, process, and contextualize these shocking whistleblower revelations.

Dr. Joel Muddamalle makes his Blurry Creatures debut and we delve into Territorial Spirits and their ancient connections to the biblical and historical narrative. This was the topic of his dissertation and Ph.D., one he earned under Dr. Patrick Schreiner and the legendary Dr. Michael Heiser. Joel currently serves as the Director of Theology and Research for Proverbs 31 Ministries and Lysa TerKeurst and is passionate about teaching the brilliant truths in Scripture. What are territorial spirits? How do these relate to the Teraphim in Genesis and how do they connect to the sons of god? What is the connection between these entities and the divine council? How is this related to cosmic and geographical warfare, both ancient and modern day? Join us for a fascinating conversation about all things blurry that very much falls into the realm of the unseen.

[22:35] "If we don't segregate off the religious instinct and give it its proper attention, [everything] starts becoming inappropriately contaminated with religious longing. That's why you see [division and] the rise in powerful political ideologies" JP

Tim Alberino returns for another in-depth discussion about the rules of the game. What authority does the devil have here on earth? What do humans have to say about it? Can we be that easily overtaken? What exactly the devil do? Where can he go? We ask more questions and delve into the controversies surrounding the interpretations of scriptures and ideas pertaining to the dragon's abilities to rule here on earth.

The legendary Dr. Michael Heiser joins the show for the first time. Best known for authoring the chart-topping book ‘Unseen Realm’, Heiser talks with us about free will, the supernatural themes of the Bible, and why most of us have missed the beginning of the human narrative. Dr. Heiser is one of a minuscule few theologians to get invited to speak at UFO conferences, he's not afraid to get weird and explore topics that make most of his peers and colleagues nervous, and in Episode 34 he takes us down the rabbit hole with him. What does Bigfoot have to do with all of this anyway? Tune in now to find out.

You’ve probably heard the Biblical tale of Lot’s wife, in which a trio of angels destroy a couple of ancient cities and the resulting blast turns a woman into a pillar of salt. In this episode of Stuff to Blow Your Mind, Robert and Joe set aside most of the theology to ponder if and how a human body could become a big old chunk of salt.

Young Earth Creationism -- the belief that the universe was made in six 24 hour days less than 10,000 years ago -- is quite common among Christians in America. I think it's wrong and comes from a misreading of the Biblical text and a misunderstanding of science. I also think Young Earth Creationism is an unnecessary stumbling block which prevents non-believers from taking Christianity seriously. I'll explain why.
