Martyr's Row

Did St Jerome accidentally name the devil? Also, do you have any weird traditions? Paul sure does. Anyway, in this episode we dive into the origins of the name "Lucifer" and how it was attached to the character of Satan, and is it a connection the Bible makes, or people over time? Let's take a look and see if Lucifer is actually the name of Satan... or maybe Jesus? Oops, time to listen! #Lucifer #...

We're ready to ruffle some feathers! Today we ask the question of "when did Satan fall?" the answer seems obvious, in the garden (or earlier)... but what does the Bible have to say about it? Is it really that simple? Let's dive in and see what we uncover!

Is this Halloween?? Or All Saints Day? Or ALL SOULS DAY!? Let's dig in and find out what's going on. Can Christians celebrate Halloween, or should we avoid it like the plague?

Father Abraham, had many...stars? In this episode we explore the promise of Abraham and some of the potential meaning within the language used and how to expands to the full story of the Gospel. Join us as we continue our star conversation!

Ancient people aren't stupid, they didn't just make stuff up because they were bored. They were probably much more intelligent than we give them credit for. So let's dive into this view and see what the Bible says as well on the subject. Are there star gods? Is Saturn just a planet, or a deity as well? Let's talk about it!

What if, and hear me out here, we asked some uncomfortable questions? We're closing up our little toe dip into Revelation here by exploring some more historical views of eschatology and the end times. Sometimes it can be helpful to see what the ancients and early church taught and believed and see how we have shifted and how it still informs our views. Enjoy

You guessed it, we wanna talk about weird stuff. Its been a minute, right!? Well, since we've been on about the rapture, revelation, Israel, and eschatology so much, we thought it was only fitting to have some fun. So join us on this fun episode where we explore a weird angle. Good thing God has a sense of humor, right?

Are you rapture ready?! What even is the rapture? What exactly are we even getting ready for?? Why are some possibly spared from tribulation? Are we gonna be naked? Is there a slug involved? Well, I don't know about that last one... let's dive in and find out what's going on!

Just when you thought we couldn't get spicier, we're talking about the end times! The book of Revelation is a highly debated book with many falling on different views. In this episode we look into eschatology, specifically Dispensationalism and see some of its core beliefs and what the Bible has to say about it. Saddle up cause its gonna be a bumpy ride!

Zionism, what is it? Where did it come from? Do you believe it? Well, you're in the right spot, cause we're going to talk about it! Let's dive in together and explore this question to see how it aligns with the Bible and the God's promise to Israel... or the church? We'll talk about it!

The life of Jesus, its a story that we often hear and His servant heart and sacrifice are what we often highlight. But, is that all He did? Yes, He conquered sin and death through His death and resurrection, but is that all? Join us today as we look into what did Jesus accomplish while He was alive on earth and how that set up the mission after His resurrection.

Wonder Bread! Welcome back to Martyr's Row, this week we're getting to the touchy stuff. Let's talk about Israel, what is it or who is it exactly? We also talk about language around angels and supernatural beings. What does the Bible really have to say when we dive into the Hebrew language? Let's find out!

We are officially halfway through a Martyr's Row calendar year and we wanna get a little nostalgic. Join us as we discuss existence, language, movies, the 90s, Tim Allen (?). Ready? 3, 2, 1 snap

Remember the Exodus story? Where Moses lead the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt and into the Promised Land? What if we told you that what we now call Turkey was the original land of exile? Crazy right? Right! We spend a lot of time talking about Israel, but let's shift the conversation slightly and look at the significance of Turkey in ancient times... its more prevalent than you might have tho...

Remember the story of Jonah? How well do you remember it? Because, growing up I don't remember anyone mentioning that he gave a description of Hell in the book. Following our episode on near death experiences, this just seemed to make sense. So, join us as we dive into the story of Jonah and how "Big Boy Big Fish Jonah" may have gone to hell and came back.

Never a dull moment here! In this episode we dive into Near Death Experiences (NDEs), what they are, how they differ from death bed experiences and out of body experiences, and what the experiencers have to say. Do their experiences prove universalism to be true? Or does it show something very different? Let's dive in and see what we find!

You know 'em, you hate 'em... well actually, do you know them? Jesus said that He hated their teaching, but what really did they teach? Let's dive in and find out exactly what is going on here.

Yeah you read that right! We're asking the real questions here, or the fun ones, why not both? Enjoy :)

You know we like to ask the tough questions on Martyr's Row. This week we're talking about Philemon and his life, the good, the bad, and the holy. Saddle up buckaroos and let's dive in!

That's right, you know the stuff wood comes from. We're having some fun here in this episode, actually we're always having fun. So join us as we discuss this question, the Garden of Eden, and portals!

How do we know what we know? Where did we learn it from? Who did we learn it from? Many ancient cultures have tried to answer this question, and today we're going to see what they have to say. The findings are quite surprising, including what the Bible itself says on this matter.

In this episode we nerd out on language and how it can effect the way we perceive the world and then we dive head first into ancient culture's myths surrounding how we have different nations and languages... get ready, its babel time!

Don't look now, but we're still talking about myths! In this one we dive into flood myths. Its more well known now how many flood myths there are, but we take the time to delve into each of them and really see how they compare and contrast. Let's take a look together!

Welcome back to Martyr's Row! In this episode we continue our myth series and we're looking at creation myths. We talk through multiple creation myths from different ancient cultures to compare and contrast them... the results are very interesting! Let's dive into it together!

Did you miss us? Awww, we did too! In this episode we continue our conversation about myths and how to reconcile the fantastical things and natural elements that exist within myths and how we should engage with them. Get ready, this is only gonna get more fun!
