Beneath the Surface Podcast

What if the world around us is more than just what we can see? In this episode of Beneath the Surface, we dive into the mysteries of the unseen realm, the spiritual world operating beyond human eyes and what Scripture actually says about it. From angels and demons to spiritual warfare, principalities, deception, discernment, and the battle for influence over humanity, we explore the questions many people are afraid to ask inside the church.

Christie and Melissa speak on spiritual warfare, exploring the unseen battle and the influence of spirits and divine beings. They also discuss the nature of angels and demons, idolatry, the supernatural in Christianity, the influence of shadim and demons, and the characteristics of named spirits like Ahab, Absalom, Python, Leviathan, religious, fear, poverty, familiar, and monitoring spirits.

Are unseen forces affecting our thoughts, culture, and daily lives? What did ancient biblical writers understand about the spiritual realm that modern Christianity often avoids?
And how do we stay grounded in truth instead of fear?

We discuss:
• What the Bible says about the unseen realm
• Angels, fallen angels, and spiritual beings
• Spiritual warfare and unseen influences
• Discernment vs deception
• Why people are becoming fascinated with the supernatural again
• How faith in Jesus brings authority, peace, and clarity in spiritual darkness

This conversation goes beyond surface-level Christianity into the deeper spiritual realities woven throughout Scripture. Whether you’re curious, skeptical, or searching for answers, this episode challenges listeners to think critically, stay spiritually aware, and test everything against biblical truth.

🎙️ Beneath the Surface is where we explore the topics many avoid — the hidden, the difficult, and the spiritual truths shaping the world around us.

What if the days of Noah weren’t just a story about the past… but a warning for the future? In this episode of Beneath the Surface, we dive deep into one of the most controversial and fascinating questions in Scripture:
Are we living in the days of Noah?

Jesus Himself said in Matthew 24:37, “As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.” But what exactly did He mean? Most people think Noah’s generation was only judged because of sin and wickedness. But when we begin digging beneath the surface of Genesis 6, the Book of Enoch, ancient civilizations, and the spiritual corruption happening before the flood, a much deeper picture starts to emerge.

In this episode we explore:

• The true conditions of the world before the flood
• The Nephilim, giants, and the “sons of God” in Genesis 6
• The Watchers and forbidden knowledge given to humanity
• Why Noah was described as “perfect in his generations”
• The explosion of violence, corruption, confusion, and moral decay in modern culture
• The obsession with transhumanism, genetic manipulation, AI, and playing “god”
• Whether ancient rebellion is repeating itself in new forms today
• Spiritual deception, distractions, and the battle for truth
• Why so many people feel like something is deeply “off” in the world right now
• How biblical prophecy connects to our current generation
• Why discernment and knowing God’s Word matters more than ever

We also talk about the parallels many believers are beginning to notice between Noah’s time and today’s world — not to create fear, but to encourage people to wake up spiritually, seek truth, and stay grounded in Jesus Christ.

This conversation goes beyond surface-level Christianity and asks the hard questions many churches avoid discussing:
What was really happening before the flood?
Why did God reset the earth?
Could history be repeating itself?
And how do we live faithfully in a world filled with deception, confusion, and spiritual warfare?

Whether you’re new to these topics or have spent years studying the unseen realm, this episode will challenge you to think deeper, test everything against Scripture, and consider what it truly means to be living in prophetic times.

If you’ve ever felt like the world is changing rapidly… if you’ve questioned what’s happening spiritually beneath the surface… or if you’ve wondered whether biblical warnings are unfolding in real time — this episode is for you.

Melissa and Christie's conversation delves into the exploration of spirit-led living, the influence of spiritual practices, testing the spirits, and the distinction between being spiritual vs spiritually led.

They go into the details of the dangers of seeking spiritual knowledge and the deception of the enemy. The influence of the Holy Spirit and gifted prophets are truly God given gifts that are there to help guide us. We need to learn how to use discernment to decipher between the "kind of spirit" are we listening to.

There are costs of seeking information outside of God. The deceptive nature of dark paths, and the allure of witchcraft in popular culture, including the acceptance of witchcraft by celebrities make it very enticing to want that kind of power and control of your life.

Bottom line is Christ is King and all of the other voices are there to get you to rely on yourself instead of seeking Him. If you are into the new age culture, divine feminine movement, or witchcraft this episode is one that hopefully will shine light on what is really behind it all.

What does it actually mean to be made in the image of God and what happens when we start conforming to other images?

In this episode of Beneath the Surface, Melissa and Christie dive into one of the most foundational truths in Scripture: humanity was created to reflect God. But from the garden to today, there has always been a battle over identity, worship, and image.

We talk about how idols are not just ancient statues or carved images — they can also be approval, success, beauty, power, comfort, fear, control, culture, or anything else that begins shaping us more than God does.

Together, we explore questions like:

What does “image of God” really mean?
How do idols form us without us realizing it?
Are we reflecting God’s truth, or conforming to the world around us?
How do we return to our true identity in Christ?

We go beneath the surface of identity, worship, spiritual formation, and the unseen battle over who we are becoming.

Scripture references may include:
Genesis 1:26–27
Romans 12:2
2 Corinthians 3:18
Colossians 1:15
Ephesians 4:22–24
Psalm 115:4–8

If you’ve ever questioned who you are, what you were created for, or why the world is constantly trying to define you — this episode is for you.
