FAIRY TALES aren’t all Mother Goose and Snow White. There is a dark side to those stories that can be traced back to the entities in the unseen realm.

Dr. Judd Burton joins us for our annual Halloween episode together, and he explains that the fantastic stories of witches, giants, and trolls that we heard as children can be traced back to the rebellion of the fallen spirits.

THE CHALDEANS were the people who created the kingdom of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon who destroyed the Temple of Yahweh in Jerusalem. The spirit behind his kingdom still influences the world today.

Messianic Rabbi Zev Porat joins us from Tel Aviv to discuss his new book, Unmasking the Chaldean Spirit. He explains what that spirit is and how it’s manifesting in occult practices around the world—even among religious Jews in Israel today.

HOLLYWOOD IS drawing our culture into paganism. There is no other way to characterize the types of movies and TV series coming out of the major studios.

Joining us for our monthly Iron and Myth series are Brian Godawa (www.godawa.com), author of Leviathan and Behemoth and screenwriter of the new film My Son Hunter (www.MySonHunter.com), Pastor Doug Van Dorn (www.douglasvandorn.com), author of Giants: Sons of the Gods. And Dr. Judd Burton (www.burtonbeyond.com), author of Interview with the Giant: Ethnohistorical Notes on the Nephilim.

We discuss the religious themes in the films and television series coming out of Hollywood, from Twin Peaks, Stargate SG-1, American Gods, and Sandman to Clash of the Titans, Avengers: Endgame, The Eternals, and Justice League. The bottom line is that pagan religion sells, and Americans seem all too willing to buy.

MOST OF US have had an experience that can be described as night terrors or sleep paralysis. For some, however, it’s a common, ongoing experience—one that makes going to bed a living hell.

Vicki Joy Anderson, author of the new book They Only Come Out at Night: Exposing the Dark Weapon of Sleep Paralysis, digs deep into scripture to shine a light on the dark entities and “shadow people” who terrorize young and old, revealing their methods and motives and, best of all, offering hope by showing how these demonic visitations can be stopped.

CHINA IS an imminent threat to our way of life. That may sound like a return to a 1950s way of thinking, but it’s true.

LTC Robert Maginnis, author of the new book Kings of the East: China's Plan to Eliminate America and Impose a Communist World Order, explains how China’s history, economic power and coming military superiority are being deployed to make China the world’s leading power and impose a communist order on the entire planet.

GOD HAS PLACED HIS NAME in every strand of DNA in your body. Seriously.

That’s just one of the stunning revelations in the new book The Yeshua Protocol by best-selling author Pastor Carl Gallups. Carl shares the discovery of the very name of God in our genetic code, the explosion of knowledge and technology foretold by the prophet Daniel, and what it means for us as believers in Jesus Christ.

DRAGONS ARE make-believe—or so we’ve been told. So, why are they in the Bible?

Joining us for our monthly Iron and Myth series are Brian Godawa (www.godawa.com), author of Leviathan and Behemoth and screenwriter of the new film My Son Hunter (www.MySonHunter.com), which is making a splash despite not being a theatrical release, and Pastor Doug Van Dorn (www.douglasvandorn.com), author of Giants: Sons of the Gods. Sadly, Dr. Judd Burton (www.burtonbeyond.com), author of Interview with the Giant: Ethnohistorical Notes on the Nephilim, was under the weather and couldn’t join us this month.

We discuss the biblical depictions of serpents and dragons, note that supernatural entities like dragons, satyrs, and goat-demons have been translated out of our modern English Bibles, and whether some of the entities traditionally called “angels” might be reptilian in appearance.

ON THIS DAY in 1683, the king of Poland, John III Sobieski led a cavalry charge that saved Vienna, and probably all of Western Europe, from the army of the Ottoman Empire. Had Vienna fallen, the history of the last 350 years would be very different.

John Sobieski is just one of the Christian leaders who stood against Islamic armies over the last 1,400 years. Those we’ve heard of have had their reputations smeared by modern (and postmodern) revisionists who tend to frame conflict between the West and Islam as a struggle between the colonialist European (read: white) patriarchy and oppressed people of color.

Author and historian Raymond Ibrahim (www.raymondibrahim.com) joins us to talk about his new book, Defenders of the West: The Christian Heroes Who Stood Against Islam. The book features eight men who fought back against Muslim aggression. Some you’ve heard of, like El Cid, Richard the Lionheart, and Vlad Tepes (“the Impaler”), and some you probably haven’t. Raymond explains why he chose his subjects, why he drew so heavily on primary sources in the book, and what lessons we need to learn from their example.

SPIRITUAL WARFARE is a foreign concept to many Christians. Others assume that every obstacle we face in life has a demon attached. The truth is somewhere in the middle.

Mike Kerr of Hear the Watchmen Ministries joins us for a special midweek program to tell us about the Advanced Spiritual Warfare Training Workshop October 16–18, 2022 in Jeffersonville, Indiana, just across the Ohio River from Louisville. Besides Derek, speakers include David Heavener, Dr. Mike Spaulding, Tom Dunn, Vicki Joy Anderson, Sanda Allyson, and Tracy Tennant.

EVEN SECULAR researchers admit that UFOs (or UAPs, as they’re now called) behave more like interdimensional craft than ships from outside our solar system. Christians, who should have been among the first to point this out, still tend to ignore UFOs altogether.

Ali Siadatan, producer of the groundbreaking 2006 documentary UFOs Angels & Gods, was one of the first to publicly connect the Bible and “extraterrestrials.” We discuss the connections between the gods of ancient Mesopotamia, the Bible, and the post-Roswell UFO phenomenon.
