  1. Number 1: The "Giants" or "Nephilim" in Genesis 6:1-4

    The Nephilim are fascinating. They are mentioned in Genesis 6, Jude and 2 Peter. The use of the word "renowned" or "mighty" seems to be a literal description, while "giants" seems to be hyperbole. Nevertheless, they are described as having extraordinary size, strength, or status, though the biblical texts provide only brief and ambiguous descriptions. In this podcast, host Martin Tanner cuts through the confusion and leaves with a clear idea of who the Nephilim were.

  5. Number 5: Are Latter-day Saints Christians?

    Since the Jewish synagogue shootings and LDS chapel shootings, there has been a significant increase in internet chatter by anti-Mormons claiming The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is not a Christian denomination, and its members are not Christians. In this episode, host Martin Tanner uses logic, fairness, definitions, and facts to show that Latter-day Saints are Christians.
