Did Joshua really conquer Jericho and does archaeology support it? Archaeologist Brian Windle joins me today to share why he believes the debate over Jericho may need a major update. We talk about why Jericho has been so confusing for scholars, what Kathleen Kenyon actually believed and how pottery, tomb finds, fortification walls, and destruction evidence factor into the bigger question: Is Joshua’s Jericho historically plausible?

Did the people named in the Bible actually exist? In this episode, archaeologist Dr. Titus Kennedy joins me to walk through how archaeology confirms the existence of ten individuals mentioned in Scripture. Dr. Kennedy lays out his criteria for evaluating archaeology discoveries and applies his careful criteria to figures in both the OT and NT. We cover evidence connected to central figures like King David, Ahab, Isaiah, and Belshazzar, as well as obscure figures like Berenice. Let us know what you think!

From Myth to History: 10 Bible Figures Confirmed by Archaeology

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/5e27a451-e6e6-4c51-aa03-a7370003783c/clips/054fd90e-875c-4f94-b4cf-b4020155d8bd/transcript

What if the “supernatural” parts of Scripture weren’t the exceptions… but the assumed backdrop? What if we have been reading the supernatural part of Scripture wrong? In this conversation, Joel Muddamalle will unpack the worldview behind The Unseen Battle (building on Michael Heiser’s The Unseen Realm) and ask a provocative question: Have modern Christians unintentionally normalized a naturalistic reading of the Bible?

*Joel will also return LIVE on March 24 at 4:30 PM PST to take questions, objections, and challenges—especially for those engaging Michael Heiser’s work for the first time.

The Unseen Realm Explained: Spiritual Warfare, Nephilim and Judgment of the Gods

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/5e27a451-e6e6-4c51-aa03-a7370003783c/clips/572ebaca-613c-41e8-8677-b3f701402c7e/transcript

In this episode, we explore modern-day visionary experiences like near-death experiences (NDEs), deathbed visions, and striking dreams. Many assume the supernatural “only happened back then,” but we examine reports from respected scholars, public figures, and historical voices to challenge the claim that miracle testimony comes only from the “ignorant and barbarous.” Dr. Steve Miller joins the conversation to share research-driven insights on why testimonies from credible people still matter and how NDEs and deathbed experiences commonly reshape priorities (especially around love and relationships)
