Gossip doesn’t sound all that bad. Slander does. How about lying, deceit, backbiting, insulting, reviling. Then there is strife, discord, jealousy, envy, rivalries, factions, and the like. All are caused by the tongue, a fire that no one can tame. That’s all bad enough, but do you realize just how connected all of this is to Satan, the Devil, and demonic supernatural evil? That’s what we’ll talk about on this program.

In this episode we are talking about one of the stranger and enigmatic prophecies in the Bible: the infamous Gog ang Magog. The ties here are deeply supernatural, tied to the angelic princes of the nations and especially to the giant tribes and the nephilim storyline of the OT. One badly misunderstood tribe is at the root of this: the Amalekites. You won’t want to miss this. 

Were the Nephilim supernatural beings... or simply the result of godly men marrying ungodly women?
In this episode, Jon Moffitt and Doug Van Dorn respond to Dr. Jordan Cooper's five arguments against the supernatural view of Genesis 6. Rather than attacking personalities, they carefully examine the biblical text, church history, and the arguments themselves to ask one question:
What does Scripture actually say?
The discussion covers:
• The meaning of "sons of God" and "daughters of men" in Genesis 6
• Why the Nephilim matter to the overall story of redemption
• The connection between Genesis, Jude, 2 Peter, and the New Testament
• The role of giants throughout the Old Testament
• Why the early church overwhelmingly held the supernatural view
• How later interpretations changed and why that matters today
Whether you agree or disagree, our goal is to model careful exegesis, charitable interaction, and confidence in God's Word.

The Days of Noah Conference took place on June 22, 2026 up in Estes Park at my friend Adam’s Rocky Mountain Church. It was just this hour and a half session where we gave an intro on the divine council, giants, and how both are important for a 3-D, full color Christ-centered view of the Scripture. If you’re new to this stuff, this is the one for you. If you’re not, you will still get a lot out of it.  

We offered it. You spoke up and said you wanted it. Why is a Reformed pastor juice fasting for 20+ days?

In this fringe episode of Reformed Fringe, we dive into the surprising spiritual and physical benefits of juicing — something Doug’s been doing for 15 years. From rapid health resets and weight loss to the deeper biblical connections between fasting, discipline, and renewal, this isn’t your typical health talk.

If you’ve ever wondered whether something as “New Age” as juicing can fit in a Reformed worldview… this one’s for you.

🔥 Real talk. Real results. Real theology on the fringe.

Doug Van Dorn, David Spain, and Anthony Delgado treat us to a general conversation about one of our favorite topics! Biblical giants. Enjoy!

In this series, we are diving into Doug’s books, explaining why I wrote them, why you should read them, and going through what they are about. In this episode, we look at Doug’s very first book: Waters of Creation. Doug unpacks the heart and soul of the book and reveals baptism as an ancient temple rite. From the glassy sea in Revelation to the Tabernacle laver, from creation’s waters to Jesus’ own baptism at age 30, discover how Jesus fulfilled the Levitical ordination ceremony (Exodus 29) and how every believer is now commissioned as a priest in God’s living temple. This is not another debate about mode or recipients. It’s a fresh, biblical-theological vision of baptism that makes sense of the whole Bible — and changes how you live every day. If you’re looking for depth, beauty, and ancient truth for a new generation, this episode is for you.

For over twenty years, I have avoided preaching 1 Corinthians—its conundrums, factionalism, and bizarre debates made it feel inexplicable. Then a single verse in Acts (18:18) began to change all that: Paul cuts his hair right after leaving Corinth, where he had worn it long during his entire ministry there. This glaring contradiction with 1 Cor 11:14 (“long hair… a disgrace”) cracked open the passage.

In Razing Hair, I argues that Paul is not delivering transcendent rules about head coverings, hair length, or gender hierarchy. Those are issues of "disputable matters" and Christian liberty. He is being sarcastic—mocking the Corinthians’ obsession with outward appearances, cultural propriety, and contentious debates while their church is imploding morally. Only the core theological affirmations (Christ as head, mutual interdependence, God as ultimate covering) are spoken straight-faced; the rest skewers the vanity of these Christians with biting irony.

In this series, we are diving into Doug’s books, explaining why I wrote them, why you should read them, and going through what they are about. In this first episode of the series, we look at Doug’s newest book: The Battle for the Bible’s Truth. It exposes a Second Century plot by the Jewish rabbis and leadership to tamper with their own traditions, stories, interpretations, and texts because of Jesus’ claim to be the divine Messiah–the Son of God. This is a very important historical uncovering that shines the light not only on where interpretations such as the sons of God in Genesis 6 are Sethites comes from, but why it so very much matters to the person and work of Jesus Christ. At stake, ultimately speaking, is nothing short of his own Divinity. 

What if Adam and Eve didn’t just grab ordinary leaves… but tried to clothe themselves in the supposed glory of Satan’s rebellious ‘trees of Eden’—the fallen gods and fiery council members who envied each other on God’s holy mountain? From those desperate fig leaves in the cosmic garden, to God’s bloody animal skins, priestly robes of glory, and finally Revelation’s lightning-white multitude, uncover the epic biblical thread of clothing. God isn’t merely forgiving sinners—He’s replacing rebel elohim with redeemed humans robed in the perfect righteousness of Christ. Discover how the Angel of the LORD removes filthy garments and clothes His people for eternal reign.
