Zombies can teach us something about ourselves.  In recent years, zombie movies have transitioned from mere horror flicks to a profound commentary on humanity, morality, and the essence of civilization. With the rise of popular series like "The Walking Dead," audiences have been challenged to reflect on deeper themes that resonate beyond the screen.  Joining us to discuss zombies and their relevan...

Who would have thought Steven Spielberg could make a boring movie about aliens?  Spielberg's first major film in 10 years, Disclosure Day, was released Friday to mixed reviews. I haven't seen the film, but based on the reviews of those who have my sense is that the movie is about an hour too long and 30 years out of date.  For example, the movie is described as a long chase scene in which the two...

The world is being prepped for the disclosure of the existence of extraterrestrial life. The church needs to be ready with answers. This coming Friday, the new Steven Spielberg film, Disclosure Day, will be released, and it's almost certain to be a blockbuster. The message of the film, according to Spielberg, is disclosure is imminent. He wants to convince audiences that ET is real, and to challen...

THE BLOOD is the life. It’s a memorable line from the classic 1939 film Dracula. It’s also a reference to Genesis 9:4–6 and God’s prohibition on the shedding of human blood. The vampire, of course, survives by violating that prohibition on a regular basis.  This month, our Iron and Myth crew—Doug Van Dorn ( DouglasVanDorn.com ), author of Battle for the Bible’s Truth, and award-winning screenwrite...

THE OLD GODS are asserting themselves, and their followers are trying to fulfill the demands of their patron deities.  Surprisingly, you wouldn't recognize a pagan if you bumped into one at the local dollar store. They are your friends, coworkers, and even family members. There is nothing to mark them as a practitioner of Wicca, worshiper of Odin, or ceremonial magician.  Carl Teichrib, author of...

Since October 7, 2023, an element of Christianity has emerged and is growing that holds Israel, and Jews generally, responsible for much of the evil in this world. At the heart of this is a growing belief that Zionism is something to be opposed, if not outright evil. But what if God is a Zionist (see, for example, Psalm 132:13–14)? Christopher Kuehl ( PresentWitness.org ), author of the new book I...

The church needs to figure out what to do about Israel. Since the second century, a wedge has been driven between Christians and Jews. Sadly, Christians have often been guilty of pouring gasoline on this long–smoldering fire. It happened again soon after the massacre committed by Hamas on October 7, 2023. Our guest, Ran Silberman, is a messianic Jew and a professional tour guide in Israel. He can...

Demons are real. They hate you and everyone you love.  Most churches in America would have a problem accepting those statements. That's because the church in America has become so de-supernaturalized we don't recognize manifest evil when it's standing right in front of us. But these spiritual battles we dismiss are affecting our lives more than we know.  Tag someone who needs to hear this.  Our gu...

SOME OF the largest grossing movies in Hollywood history feature depictions of demonic possession.

Imagine volunteering at an event approved by the government, and a year later you're arrested, charged with sedition, convicted, and sentenced to 18 years in prison.  That's what happened to Stewart Rhodes ( OathKeepers.info ), the founder of Oath Keepers. His sentence was commuted after three years by President Trump last January, but the conviction remains on his record. This means that as a dis...

IMAGINE YOU’RE a teenage boy kidnapped by a foreign army and dragged from your home to a land far far away, placed in a school to indoctrinate you in the ways of your pagan, polytheist captors, trying to survive while remaining faithful to the One True God. That's the beginning of the story of the prophet Daniel, and that is the focus of the new novel by this week's guest and regular contributor t...

Ou...

A RABBINIC PLOT to desupernaturalize the Hebrew scriptures has given us the English Old Testament we have today.  Why did the rabbis do it? How do we know what’s been changed? Does this mean we can’t trust the Bible?  It’s an important and touch subject. To discuss it is our panel, Doug Van Dorn ( DouglasVanDorn.com ), author of this month’s topic, the forthcoming book Battle for the Bible’s Truth...

CHRISTIAN ORACLES. Is that even a thing? Apparently there were Christians who adapted writings attributed to the Sibyls, prophetesses who channeled messages from the “gods.”  What do we make of this? Our esteemed panel, Dr. Judd Burton ( BurtonBeyond.net ), author of Interview With the Giant; Doug Van Dorn ( DouglasVanDorn.com ), author of Giants: Sons of the Gods; and Brian Godawa ( Godawa.com ),...
