A View from the Bunker

DRAGONS ARE make-believe—or so we’ve been told. So, why are they in the Bible? Joining us for our monthly Iron and Myth series are Brian Godawa (www.godawa.com ), author of Leviathan and Behemoth and screenwriter of the new film My Son Hunter (www. MySonHunter.com ), which is making a splash despite not being a theatrical release, and Pastor Doug Van Dorn (www.douglasvandorn.com ), author of Giant...

ON THIS DAY in 1683, the king of Poland, John III Sobieski led a cavalry charge that saved Vienna, and probably all of Western Europe, from the army of the Ottoman Empire. Had Vienna fallen, the history of the last 350 years would be very different. John Sobieski is just one of the Christian leaders who stood against Islamic armies over the last 1,400 years. Those we’ve heard of have had their rep...

SPIRITUAL WARFARE is a foreign concept to many Christians. Others assume that every obstacle we face in life has a demon attached. The truth is somewhere in the middle. Mike Kerr of Hear the Watchmen Ministries joins us for a special midweek program to tell us about the Advanced Spiritual Warfare Training Workshop October 16–18, 2022 in Jeffersonville, Indiana, just across the Ohio River from Loui...

EVEN SECULAR researchers admit that UFOs (or UAPs, as they’re now called) behave more like interdimensional craft than ships from outside our solar system. Christians, who should have been among the first to point this out, still tend to ignore UFOs altogether. Ali Siadatan, producer of the groundbreaking 2006 documentary UFOs Angels & Gods, was one of the first to publicly connect the Bible and “...

AMERICA IS arguably the most powerful nation in history. So, why isn’t it mentioned in end times prophecy? Jackie Alnor argues that it is, but it’s been hiding in plain sight. She joins us to discuss her thought-provoking new book The United States of Israel, and to explain why the lost tribes of Israel aren’t lost at all—they’ve been here all along, in the “melting pot” called the United States.

Most of us adult Christians would find coming face to face with a demon-possessed person absolutely terrifying. Imagine how it must be for the child of a parent who’s possessed. Michael Gagliardi, author of Devil Take the Hindmost Part 1 and Part 2, describes the life he led as the son of a mother who fought a losing battle against a dark spirit through his entire childhood.

IS CHAOS a symbol of disorder, or is it, as certain passages in the Bible suggest, an entity? Back this month for another in our Iron and Myth series are Brian Godawa (www.godawa.com ), author of Leviathan and Behemoth, Pastor Doug Van Dorn (www.douglasvandorn.com ), author of Giants: Sons of the Gods, and Dr. Judd Burton (www.burtonbeyond.com ), author of Interview with the Giant: Ethnohistorical...

The first casualty of war is truth. This is especially true in spiritual warfare. Col. David Giammona and Troy Anderson, CEO and COO of Battle Ready Ministries, discuss their new book, The Military Guide to Disarming Deception, and share their thoughts on how to detect, discern, and disarm the lies of the Fallen.

Somebody really, really wanted the ruler of Jerusalem around 1300 BC to die. And he was probably a Hebrew. Dr. Doug Petrovich, epigrapher and author of The World’s Oldest Alphabet and Origins of the Hebrews, explains that the curse inscription found at Jerusalem is not, as it’s been described, proto-Canaanite, but another example of very early Hebrew script—more evidence to refute the claim that M...

Jesus used the art of storytelling to convey spiritual truth. We Christians have not done well at following his example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stmd0rJdxuM This week, brothers Nick Goss and Jonathan Goss, authors and host of The Gosslings podcast, explain why they write supernatural fiction from a Christian perspective, and share their challenges and successes in getting their messages ac...

Why are some places on Earth more supernatural than others? Like, what’s the deal with Mount Hermon? Pastor Doug Van Dorn and Dr. Judd Burton join us for our monthly Iron and Myth session (author Brian Godawa had to miss due to a last-minute schedule complication) as we try to figure out why certain places seem to be supernatural hot spots.

Our scientistic society is setting up millions to believe in a alternate end-times scenario—one where “extraterrestrials” help humanity to evolve. Michael Stibs (www.detoxbabylon.com ), producer and host of Project Revelation, joins us to discuss this alternate cosmology and how a scientific discipline in search of something to study—xenoarchaeology—and simulation hypothesis may play a role in thi...

Reaching the world with evidence for the hope we have in Christ is a vital calling—especially when that outreach is directed at our Jewish brothers and sisters. Dr. Igal German, founder of Yesod Bible Center in Chicago, joins us to discuss his new ministry, the International Biblical Apologetics Association, and the needs of his team to launch this mission. In Dr. German’s own words: “In these day...

BLENDING THE fun and excitement of fantasy sports with and a watchful eye on our would-be globalist overlords: This is the New World Order Fantasy League (www.nwofl.com )! Yeah. This is a thing. Basil, co-host of Canary Cry News Talk (canarycrynewstalk.com ), joins us with details of the NWOFL. As the website says, you may not be an elite lizard person athlete, but the New World Order Fantasy Leag...

THE DEATH OF THE GODS is prophesied in the Bible. This is not in dispute, unless one argues that God Himself was mistaken in calling the pagan gods of the ancient world “gods.” (See, for example, Exodus 12:12 and Psalm 82.) Pastor Doug Van Dorn, writer Brian Godawa, and Dr. Judd Burton join us for our monthly Iron and Myth session to discuss the death of the gods: When will it happen—or has it hap...

THERE ARE SOME people whose lives sound like the plot of a TV drama—like, when you hear their stories, you find them hard to believe. Shawn Rae was the product of a broken home. His father was out of the picture early and his mother struggled with her own demons, which meant that Shawn had little direction or restraints as a kid. He gravitated to gangs, drugs, and alcohol—and the pit got deep, eve...

BRINGING TOGETHER the body of Christ is a noble calling, but it’s a lot of work. Why would the pastor of a church, with all of the responsibilities that job entails, take on the job of organizing a conference? Dr. Mike Spaulding, pastor of Calvary Chapel in Lima, Ohio and the host of Dr. Mike Live on YouTube, joins us to discuss the upcoming Go Therefore Conference July 29–30, 2022 at the Harvest...

HOW WOULD you react if travel restrictions imposed during a pandemic kept you from returning home? That’s what happened to Hugh Theriault, the missions pastor at Golgotha Fellowship in Nampa, Idaho. He left a successful career as an agronomist and come to the United States to attend Bible college, and then was blocked from returning to his home in Quebec by rules related to COVID. So, Hugh relocat...

WHAT WOULD it look like if the apostle Paul lived today? Hollywood veteran David Heavener joins us to discuss the launch of his latest project, The Last Evangelist–a television series he describes as CSI meeting the Book of Revelation. After the break: Comments on the supernatural influences behind the Uvalde massacre.

THE SONS OF GOD saw that the daughters of men were fair, and they took as their wives any they chose. This story is at the root of many of the spiritual practices of the ancient world—pagan, Jewish, and Christian. But when did the transgression of the bene ha-elohim take place? We’re joined again by Brian Godawa, Doug Van Dorn, and Dr. Judd Burton for our latest edition of Iron and Myth to discuss...

AS CHRISTIANS of European descent continue to “desupernaturalize” the Bible, the Gospel takes root in unexpected places. Bill Old Chief is a pastor with a strong prophetic calling. He’s also an author, musician, and tribal leader among the Blackfeet Nation of Montana. He explains why the gospel message resonated with the Blackfeet, the lessons he’s learned from trial and sorrow, and how the Holy S...

What, where, and who is Mystery Babylon? That’s a question Christians have wrestled with since the first century AD. Doug Woodward, author of the new book Will Babylon Be Rebuilt in the Last Days?, argues that the theory that Babylon must be rebuilt in the same location as the ancient city is not fully grounded in scripture.

DOES HELL exist? How would you react if you’d been taken there and then returned to Earth? Bryan Melvin, author of A Land Unknown: Hell’s Dominion, shares his account of the terrifying four hours he spent among the denizens of the netherworld and how it completely changed his life. Watch Bryan’s program The Christian Marauder at YouTube, Rumble, and at The Daily Renegade.

MUCH OF the Bible’s early history occurred in the land we now call Turkey. Noah’s boat landed there, and Abraham—contrary to what you may have been taught—was from northern Mesopotamia, not Sumer. Doug Hershey, author of Israel Rising and Jerusalem Rising and the founder of Ezra Adventures, discusses the historic and prophetic significance of the land that was home to the seven churches of Revelat...
