Cast Your Nets, with BigTuna

In this week’s episode of Cast Your Nets, BigTuna is joined by Knoxite Theocrat, an expert in Anglo-Saxon history and Twitter poster. The two discuss the Bible’s guidelines for a King, using the Kings of the Old Testament and the Kings of Anglo-Saxon Britain as case studies. Subjects discussed include the Bible’s original mandate for Israel’s King in Deuteronomy, the duties & privileges mentioned therein, the reign of King David & Solomon, the admirable moral qualities of King Hezekiah & King Josiah, the growth of Christian Civilization from Rome into England, whether OT Kings were a genuine model for Anglo-Saxon Kings, the rule of respective Anglo-Saxon leaders like Aethelbert of Kent, Oswald of Northumbria, & King Alfred the Great; the particular Christian virtues of Alfred’s rule, and what Kingship looks like in an age where there are no real Kings. Verses like Deut. 17:14-20, 1 Samuel 10:25, 2 Kings 18 & 22, and Proverbs 25:2 are used to bolster the arguments made. In addition, historical references to Asser’s “The Life of King Alfred”, King Alfred’s Law Codes, and other historical Anglo-Saxon works are made. Tune in for all of this and more!

In this week’s episode of Cast Your Nets, BigTuna returns for a solo podcast walking through the thought and work of Dr. Michael S. Heiser, who was a Christian, Old Testament scholar, Ancient History scholar, and Semitic Languages expert; best known for his 2023 book (and subsequent talks on), “The Unseen Realm.” Tuna goes through some of Heiser’s key concepts like the Divine Council worldview of Psalm 82 and Heiser’s Three Rebellions Narrative (the Fall, The Pre-Flood World, and the Tower of Babel), before diving into Heiser’s entire overview of both the Old and New Testaments, taking the Bible as a story of God’s historic plan for both the physical and spiritual world to be redeemed back toward their Edenic purpose. Passages like Genesis 1, 2, 6, 10, and 11; Psalm 82, Daniel 7, Ezekiel 28, Matthew 4, 16, and 17; Mark 1 and 9, Luke 11, 1st Corinthians 2, and Hebrews 1 & 2 are all examined in order to bolster and cross-examine Heiser’s thinking. Tune in for all of this and more!

In this week’s episode of Cast Your Nets, BigTuna is once more joined by returning guest J. Chase Davis, to discuss Chase’s new book, “Offensive Christianity: Restoring the Strength of Men in a Feminized Age,” and Matthew 5:5. The two sift through the “toothlessness” of contemporary Christianity, the proper meaning of Meekness in the Bible, why the world wants Men to be weak (and how Men can resist this), how Men can use their powers wisely, what it means to inherit the earth, Glory’s proper place in the Christian life, and why psychologizing the sermon on the mount reduces the impact of Jesus’ message. Scriptures like Psalm 37:11, Hebrews 11, Numbers 12, Exodus 17:8-16, and others are used to steel the arguments put forward during the podcast. Tune in for all of the and more!

In this week’s episode of Cast Your Nets, BigTuna is joined by creative design extraordinaire and friend of the podcast, Pax (formerly Pax Americana). The two discussed Acts 17, dwelling on the meaning of “turn the world upside down,” Paul’s announcement of a new phase of history, why the cultural contexts of Thessalonica, Berea, and Athens are necessary to understand the passage, why the Jews reacted in the ways they did to Paul’s message, why Paul’s spirit was provoked in Athens, why God has providentially set up the boundaries of nations, and what this all means for America, both historically and today.

In today’s episode of Cast Your Nets, BigTuna is joined by the excellent Grant Brooks to discuss 1 Kings 18, involving Elijah’s confrontation with King Ahab and the prophets of Baal. Together, they examine how God’s character is revealed through the passage’s narrative (esp. his mercy), the Bible’s description of generational and/or national wickedness, Fire as a key thematic element in the Bible, how deep Israel’s betrayal of God actually was, why marriage can be used as an analogy of God and his People, why God has a People, and much more. Other passages taken from 1 & 2 Chronicles, Hebrews 12, 2 Kings, and others are used to bolster the arguments made. Tune in now!

In the first Cast Your Nets episode of 2026, BigTuna returns to walk through the book of 1st Corinthians, examining why Paul casts particular sinners out of the Church, why evildoers must be purged from the midst of God’s assembly, the necessity of unity within the Church, the concepts of sin as virus and the wicked as leaven, why contemporary culture is not uniquely sexual, but uniquely vulgar; and why exile (or excommunication) are more biblical punishments than imprisonment. Scriptures like 1 Corinthians 5 & 6, Leviticus 18, Deuteronomy 22, Matthew 15, and others are consulted to inform the believer.

In this episode of Cast Your Nets, BigTuna is once again joined by friend of the show, Ron Dodson, who previously appeared on Episode 4. Today, they discussed the Ten Commandments (using both the Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5 versions), why they are addressed to a particular people in time, the Noahic Covenant & covenantal messaging more broadly, why the God of the Bible must be understood as personal, the instructive power of Law, Tabernacle, and Temple; how Acts models proper loyalty to God, the meaning of Righteousness, and understanding the Kingdom of Heaven as an eternal body that is outside of space & time (while still being deeply tied to particular languages, eras, cultures, and political contexts). Scriptures like Genesis 9 and Acts 15:12-21 are also used in bolstering the Biblical evidence for the case made. Tune in now!

In this solo episode of Cast Your Nets, BigTuna discusses the Christian Ethic of “Judge Not,” and in particular, how it is used to accuse Christians by nonbelievers, how its misappropriation nullifies God’s character and role, the importance of right judgment, how we ought to mimic God, what it means to play the role of a Prophet, and the centrality of Judgement to the overall Christian message. Scriptures like Matthew 7:1-5, Luke 6:37-42, John 7:14-24, Luke 12:57-59, and Ezekiel 3:16-21 are referenced to strengthen the listener’s biblical framework.

Welcome back to another episode of Cast Your Nets— this week, BigTuna is joined by podcasting phenom and writer J. Burden, the host of The J. Burden Show. On this week’s episode, they discussed Matthew 21:23-46, the conflict between Jesus & the Pharisees in the Temple. They covered the problem of authority (where does it come from, and how it is ascertained?), ignorance and disobedience, doing the will of God, Jesus’ explanation of his own mission, the institution of the Kingdom of God, and much more. Scriptures like Matthew 13:10-17, Isaiah 6:8-10, Ezekiel 10, Psalm 118, and Daniel 2 were also used to fill in the picture. Tune in now!

P.S.- apologies in advance for my audio track (J. sounds fine)— I believe my recording program disconnected my boom mic and connected to my headphones as the microphone instead. I have balanced the audio and made it much more listenable, but it won’t be perfect.

Welcome back! In this episode of Cast Your Nets, BigTuna is joined by Cal Crucis, who is the sole host of the Glory of Kingz Cast and writer at Fiat Iustitia. The two discussed Acts 12, Peter’s journey reflecting Passover, Herod and Pharaoh, what it means to be of God’s chosen nation, avoiding intermixing with the world, the modern nation-state of Israel, reading the Bible typologically, seeing God’s handiwork in history, and trusting in Providence. Scriptures like Exodus 12 (especially verse 22), chapters 9-11 of Romans, Matthew 11, and others are used to bolster the arguments made— check it out!
