The war for our world didn’t begin with human history; it began in a Garden with a cosmic act of treason. In this episode of the Way & Word Podcast, we dive into the first chapter of Stranger Wars to examine the First Rebellion.

We move beyond a simple snake in the grass to understand the Nachash—a shining, serpentine member of the Divine Council who led a revolt against the Creator. Join us as we explore why this event in Genesis 3 is the foundation for all spiritual warfare, how it changed our role as those who image God, and why understanding the ancient context of the Serpent is vital for our discernment today.

This is the first of our series on the Three Rebellions, setting the stage for a season of recovering a truly biblical worldview of the unseen realm.

Scripture References: Genesis 3, Ezekiel 28, Isaiah 14.

Welcome to the premiere of the Way & Word Podcast. We kick off Season 1 by exploring the Introduction of the book Stranger Wars: The Biblical Guide to Spiritual Warfare.

In this episode, we address why the modern Church often lacks a comprehensive biblical worldview regarding the supernatural. We set the stage for the season by introducing the framework of the Three Rebellions—the pivotal events in Genesis 3, 6, and 11 that define the battle lines of the unseen realm. Join us as we begin to demystify spiritual warfare and recover the ancient context of the scriptures to understand the true nature of the war we are in.

While this season focuses on the "Stranger Wars" within spiritual warfare, the Way & Word Podcast is your home for deep biblical teaching across all areas of the faith.

Scripture References: Genesis 3, Genesis 6, Genesis 11, Psalm 82.
