Number 1: History of Magical Arts in the Bible: Egypt & Mesopotamia
Pharaoh's magicians didn't fake it. Exodus 7 says they did the same thing Moses and Aaron did, "by their secret arts." So what does the Bible actually say is happening when magic works? ABOUT THE EPISODE: Nelly Van Sickle, pastor at Evergreen Calvary Chapel and creator of The Dancing Toaster Podcast joins Remnant Radio to walk through his "History of Magic" series, a biblical dig into where magic in the Bible actually comes from, starting in the ancient Near East with Egypt and Mesopotamia. Egypt called its force Heka, something built into the fabric of creation itself, not invoked so much as cooperated with. Mesopotamian mythology named its spirits and negotiated with them directly. If the power on display in Old Testament magic was real, where did it actually come from, and why does Deuteronomy 18 treat some of it as off-limits instead of harmless nonsense? Dr. Michael Heiser used to point out that God doesn't legislate against things that don't exist, and that idea sits underneath this whole conversation: a biblical worldview takes demonology seriously precisely because it takes the supernatural worldview of Scripture seriously. From there, the conversation turns to names, authority, and who actually gets to use the power of Jesus's name in spiritual warfare (think Sons of Sceva). Nelly also shares how researching the ancient occult reshaped his own theology of the supernatural, moving him from cautious and functionally cessationist toward a more continuationist conviction, wanting to see the gifts of the Spirit practiced rightly. The occult is surging back into Western culture, and most Christians don't have a framework for it beyond "that's not real" or "don't go near it." This episode is an attempt to give you one.

Number 2: 666, Digital ID & the Mark of the Beast: What Revelation Says | Michael Rowntree
Can you take the mark of the beast by accident? Get it through an RFID chip? A vaccine? A barcode to buy and sell? It's a question that's kept believers concerned, especially with new technologies appearing. But most answers on the Internet start in the wrong place. Michael Rowntree starts in the Bible with Ezekiel and Deuteronomy. ABOUT THIS EPISODE Michael walks through Revelation 13:16–18, then follows it back to its Old Testament roots. His case: the mark of the beast was never a physical mark, but a spiritual insignia, a counterfeit of God's own seal. What it actually signifies is allegiance. Join Michael to understand: - Why Ezekiel 9 and Deuteronomy 6 hold the real key to interpreting Revelation 13:16–18 - How the seal of God in Revelation 7:3 and 14:4 and the mark of the beast counterfeit each other - Why the mark speaks of allegiance, ownership, and protection, and why none of those happen to you by accident - A closer look at gematria, the practice of calculating 666 to pin down a specific antichrist, and why Michael thinks it falls short - What Michael believes it actually means to prepare for the mark of the beast today 0:00 – Introduction 1:11 – Revelation 13 Mark Text 3:34 – Seal Context Revelation 6-7 7:55 – Ezekiel 9 Background 10:00 – Deuteronomy 6 Background 11:57 – Counterfeits in Revelation 13 13:40 – Daniel 7 & the Four Beasts 15:27 – Tests of Allegiance 18:46 – Technology and the Mark 20:20 – Decoding 666 23:48 – The World Made Right 25:21 – Hope in Revelation 📖BOOK: The World Made Right: Finding Confident Hope in the Book of Revelation https://www.michaelrowntree.com/the-world-made-right/ Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

Number 3: Is Speaking in Tongues Biblical? Our Honest Take
A pastor pulls a college kid on stage, lays hands on him, tells him to "speak the holy language," and when nothing comes out, tells him his faith is weak. That's the true story that opens a recent Dial In Ministries episode on tongues. We're responding to their episode . . . and we agree with more of it than you'd expect. ABOUT THE EPISODE: Jonny Ardavanis and Hank Bowen make a solid biblical case that tongues in Acts and 1 Corinthians means real human languages, not gibberish or glossolalia in the ecstatic-speech sense, and that "tongues of angels" in 1 Corinthians 13 is rhetorical, not literal. We agree with them on both. Where we split: they're arguing from a cessationist frame — that the sign gifts of the Holy Spirit ceased with the apostles. We're continuationists and believe the gift of tongues is still active in the church today. We'll discuss where we agree and disagree on the exegesis, and why we land in a different place on whether spiritual gifts like this one continue. 0:00 – Introduction 0:17 – Dial In Ministries Overview 1:57 – Rowntree's Opening Thoughts 2:43 – Miller's Opening Thoughts 4:41 – Acts 2 Known Languages 8:49 – Xenolalia Vs Glossolalia 21:29 – Acts 10 And 19 28:21 – 1 Corinthians 14 Tongues 33:52 – Prayer Language Debate 43:52 – Baptism Of Holy Spirit 53:48 – Preaching Versus Experience 1:04:41 – Tongues In Church History Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

Number 4: How to Practice Tongues & Interpretation in Church, Biblically
A lot of churches either forbid tongues in public altogether or let them run with no interpretation and no order. Scripture never actually gives you those two options. So what does the Bible prescribe for the gift of tongues in church? ABOUT THIS EPISODE: Josh, Michael, and Michael sit down with the question that splits churches on both sides of the Word and Spirit divide: what does it actually look like to practice the gifts of tongues and interpretation, named together in 1 Corinthians 12:10, in corporate worship, biblically? Not in theory, but in practice, on a Sunday, in a room full of people, with order intact and the body edified. Cessationist churches simply avoid the conversation entirely by not recognizing that the gift of tongues is still for today. Meanwhile, many charismatic churches practice tongues publicly with real sincerity but without the structure Paul actually prescribed: no clear call for interpretation, no one recognized as an interpreter of tongues, no accountability, no sense of "let it be done for building up," for the edification of the church (1 Corinthians 14:26). Both extremes miss what Scripture is actually asking for. As such, many believers are left without a clear, biblical middle to stand on. We'll walk through 1 Corinthians 14 verse by verse, laying out Paul's actual instructions: what tongues in the assembly is for, why interpretation matters, who should speak and how many, and why "let all things be done decently and in order" (1 Corinthians 14:40) isn't a suppression of the gift but the framework that lets it function safely. 0:00 – Introduction 4:51 – Verifying Authentic Tongues Gift 12:14 – Interpretation Required for Every Tongue? 19:38 – Who Calls Interpretation? 33:49 – Tongue And Interpreter Roles 34:48 – Limits On Tongue Speakers 45:53 – No Interpreter Present 49:54 – Singing In Tongues 52:14 – Interpretation Accuracy Standards 1:02:59 – Shutting Down False Tongues 1:10:36 – Order Not Quenching Spirit Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

Number 5: The Philosophy That Built the Liberal Mind: Descartes to Marx w/ Dr. Jordan Cooper
Why do we need a nuclear family? What actually determines the difference between a boy and a girl? These feel like brand-new questions, but the ideas that make them askable were actually seeded four hundred years ago. Dr. Jordan Cooper joins us to trace them back to their source. ABOUT THE EPISODE: Lutheran theologian and pastor Dr. Cooper walks Josh through the philosophical roots of the modern progressive mind and the broader philosophy of the left: Descartes and Cartesian doubt, Kant's Copernican Revolution, Hume's empiricism and skepticism, Hobbes's social contract theory, and Thomas Paine's radical individualism, the intellectual scaffolding beneath everything from critical theory to postmodernism. It's the same scaffolding underneath the questions above. Once Hume argues that even something as basic as cause and effect is just an assumption rather than a certainty, and Kant argues that categories like space and time are imposed by the mind rather than discovered in the world, the door opens to treating categories like family and gender the same way: not given, but constructed, and open to being remade. Dr. Cooper's book Makers of the Modern Mind grew out of years doing campus ministry at Cornell, watching students absorb progressive assumptions and secular philosophy they'd never actually examined. Drawing on his background in Lutheran theology and Christian apologetics, this conversation is a guided tour through where those assumptions came from, and why the question underneath almost all of them, in philosophy, politics, and the modern culture wars alike, is simply: what is a human being? 0:00 – Introduction 1:14 – Dr. Jordan Cooper 2:45 – Lutheran Branding Problem 4:21 – Makers of the Modern Mind 10:23 – Union With Christ Doctrine 16:30 – Descartes' Cogito Ergo Sum 26:38 – Kant's Copernican Revolution 31:33 – David Hume's Skepticism 42:35 – Thomas Paine & Liberalism 51:21 – Right Vs Left Liberalism 56:52 – Applying Philosophy Today ABOUT THE GUEST: 📖https://www.amazon.com/Makers-Modern-Mind-Thinkers-Formed/dp/1952295823 Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.
