Comedian Dusty Slay pulls up a chair in the basement to talk Bigfoot, shadow people, and what it looks like to follow Jesus when you used to pray drunk. From his days selling pesticides and working at Office Depot to headlining theaters and doing the Tonight Show, Dusty opens up about how quitting drinking, leaning into faith, and questioning everything changed the trajectory of his life and his c...

Samantha's husband was the pastor of their small Ozark town church. Then he stopped coming home, set up an altar in the abandoned Masonic Lodge upstairs, and started physically transforming in front of her: black eyes, green skin, fingernails curling into claws. She saw it at least 20 times over three years. What followed was a brutal season of spiritual warfare where the only thing standing betwe...

It's Good Friday, and we're going deep into the cross, the empty tomb, and the connections hiding in plain sight all over scripture. Messianic Rabbi Jason Sobel, author of "Transformed by the Messiah," sits down to reveal how God encoded the story of redemption from the very first word of Genesis. Rabbi Jason unpacks why Jesus died on the sixth day, the same day man was created and fell, why the v...

Nicholas Daigle joins the show to talk about his book Genesis 6 and the Ozarks and the giant rabbit hole he fell into right in his own backyard.

Nick w...

Ashley's father was not a storyteller. He didn't chase the supernatural, and he wasn't the kind of guy to make things up. So when he told his daughter about the night he encountered a three-foot, gray-skinned, hairless creature standing upright in the road outside the family barn on the Oregon coast, she believed him. The thing had no distinguishable face, moved like nothing natural, and when he f...

Astrophysicist and apologist Hugh Ross returns to the blurry basement to talk about his new book, Noah's Flood Revisited, and the case he's making that the Genesis flood account is scientifically credible when read literally and historically. Hugh walks through why he believes the flood was universal to all humanity but not necessarily global in geographic scope, how no Christian scholar explicitl...

Will Acuff is a pastor's kid, former rock and roll guitarist, co-founder of Nashville nonprofit Corner to Corner, and author of No Elevator to Everest. He sits down for a conversation about the blurriest member of the Trinity: the Holy Spirit.

Drew reached out to us with a story he's never told publicly before. A lifelong outdoorsman and hunter from Ohio with a background in criminology, he has had close to two decades of encounters with Dog Man, a bipedal canine creature that most people have never heard of and fewer believe exists.

What if the villain of the Bible has been hiding in plain sight across every mythology and empire in history? Doug Van Dorn and Dr. Judd Burton return for a members-only deep dive into the identity of Satan, not as a one-dimensional adversary, but as what Judd calls "the zero with a thousand artifices," an entity who wears different masks in different cultures while remaining the same being at the...

Ryan Pitterson is back in the building after 200-plus episodes away, and he came with a bombshell. His third book, The Earth Before Adam, completes the trilogy that began with Judgment of the Nephilim and The Final Nephilim, and it takes us all the way back before the story we thought was the beginning. Ryan lays out the biblical case for the gap theory, arguing that between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 li...

Kirk Cameron steps into the Blurry Creatures 80s basement for a conversation that covers as much ground as his career has decades.

What if the writers of the New Testament were intentionally hijacking the greatest myths of the ancient world to tell the true story of Jesus?

Luke, the comic book nerd of the apostolic age, filled his two-volume master...

Dr. Robin Perry Braun never wanted to work with satanic ritual abuse survivors; it seemed too dark, too slow, too brutal. But God kept bringing them to her holistic psychology practice.
