The Judge and Prophetess Deborah experiences a world similar to our own: full of lies, baloney, and poppycock. Learn how she shakes off the pressure and washes away the brainwashing from the controlled, censored media of her time. Idolatry doesn't stand a chance.

(Media, mainstream media, brainwashing, misinformation, information, truth. Bible. Judges. Book of Judges. Deborah, Devorah, Barak). 

Lockdowns. Stay-at-home orders. Emergency directives. 2020 brought the world something that was never new--these practices have been going on for centuries. The infamous Philistines engaged in this 'destruction by subtraction' thousands of years ago. In this episode, I break down the divisive "Guarding" roots of the Philistines and the only solution: Shamgar and his proper use of "Guarding" power.

In this episode of Downstream from Religion we highlight Step 2 in the Bible's 7 step process to bring salvation and kingship.

The dramatic story of Ehud brings us validation in a confused world. The point of his sword symbolizes truth and slashes away the aggression of 'tolerance.' King Eglon the "Fat Calf" is defeated and his poisonous idolatry of acceptance is vanquished.

We begin our exploration of the Book, understanding who some of the Tribes and Judges are, and why particular nations are sent to attack Israel. 

We end up with lessons in assertiveness, faith, and belief in ourselves.

This episode introduces you to my methodology and gives you the background for the Book of Judges as to how it transitions from the Book of Joshua. I also explain why I entitled the series "Downstream from Religion."
