A View From The Bunker

JESUS TOLD stories to express transcendent truths. We Christians should encourage the artists among us who are trying to do the same—especially when they’re trying to preach outside the choir. Bryan Sawyer is an actor who’ll be featured in Half Blood, a horror series coming to Amazon Prime Video later this year, and he’s working with the writers to bring some biblical truth to the plot. Also: COVI...

IT SOUNDS like something from a Hollywood film, but it’s real—and if our guest tonight has truly deciphered it, this artifact could be world-changing.

WE’RE ALL on a battlefield, whether we know it or not. What does the spiritual battle look like to someone whose calling is to minister to those who serve on a physical battlefield as well? Col. David Giammona (US Army, Ret.) joins us to discuss his 32 years as an Army chaplain and his new calling: Ministering to men and women who are putting on the full armor of God in preparation for the final b...

IT’S SAID that history repeats itself, and it’s beginning to look as though the coronavirus outbreak is following the pattern of the Great Influenza of 1918. 400 million people in China are under quarantine—about equal to the combined populations of the US, UK, and Canada. Zach Drew, host of The Zach Drew Show, rejoins us to discuss the information coming from China (or lack thereof), why we shoul...

BEING A warrior for Christ doesn’t necessarily mean fighting.

USING MEDIA to spread the gospel is more important today than ever. The Internet offers so many distractions that cutting through the clutter is a challenge. Zach Drew is a young man who’s been led to use video to communicate the gospel and the reality of the supernatural war in which we’re all deployed. He tells us when and how he felt this call, why he chose to study under Christian television p...

MOST AMERICAN Christians are Christians in name only. Surveys by the Barna Group reveal that upwards of three-quarters of us don’t really believe in God as He’s revealed Himself through His word. Preston and Kelly Condra, founders of Sufficient Word Ministries and authors of By Which We Are Saved, I Have Some Good News, and Papa, Let’s Talk, discuss the simplicity of the gospel—and why sharing it...

IN TODAY’S scientistic, naturalistic world, why would a serious scholar of biblical theology endorse the idea that angels literally procreated with human women to produce giants? Tim Chaffey of Risen Ministries, author of Fallen: The Sons of God and the Nephilim, explains why a Christian apologist who defends the truth of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation chose to defend the minority view of Ge...

VENERATION OF the dead is a practice that links the modern world to the earliest days of recorded human history. More than that, it’s a thread that’s woven through the Bible from Genesis through Revelation. Sharon K. Gilbert joins Derek in the Bunker for a special birthday episode to discuss their first book together, Veneration, and how she uses the research behind this book for her top-rated his...

GOD HAS called us men to serve Him as warriors and priests. How is it possible to balance what appear to be mutually exclusive roles—especially in a culture that tells us that masculinity is “toxic”? Drew Graffia, host of the Radical Christian video program and author of the new book The Warrior Priest Mindset: A Necessary Dichotomy for God’s Chosen Knights, explains why turning the other cheek an...

JEZEBEL GETS too much credit for the evil in the world today. Jezebel spirit? She was human, so she’s dead and her spirit is powerless. However, there were spirits behind Jezebel, and it’s them we have to be concerned with. Award-winning Hollywood screenwriter Brian Godawa ( www.godawa.com ) is back to talk about his new novel, Jezebel: Harlot Queen of Israel, Book 1 in his Chronicles of the Watch...

HOW DO you reconcile soft tissue inside bones that are supposed to be 67 million years old? Joe Taylor, curator and director of the Mt. Blanco Fossil Museum in Crosbyton, Texas (online at www.mtblanco.com ) explains how paleontology properly understood does not contradict the Bible. You can help Joe repair the hail-damaged roof of the museum here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/friends-of-mt-blanco-mu...

IT ONLY takes a few minutes of scanning your options on a channel guide for cable or satellite TV to see that Satan truly is the prince of the power of the air. How do Christians work behind enemy lines to use the power of entertaining, compelling stories to share the truth? David Heavener, longtime Hollywood producer, director, writer, and actor, is developing The Last Evangelist, a series he des...

DR. GREGORY REID returns this week to try to fit together the pieces of a very disturbing puzzle. Jeffrey Epstein is gone but not forgotten. ABC News anchor Amy Robach was caught earlier this year on a hot mic venting her frustration at ABC News management at killing her scoop on the convicted pedophile three years ago. (She has since walked back her comments, claiming that the story didn’t meet A...

YOU WOULDN’T expect to find leaders in banking and high tech taking part in pagan rituals in the desert. You would thus be surprised to find people just like that dancing around the fire alongside people you might bump into at the local supermarket. Carl Teichrib, author of the excellent book Game of Gods: The Temple of Man in the Age of Re-enchantment, joins us to report on what he saw at this ye...

WITCHCRAFT HAS been rebranded in recent decades. Where once it was considered an evil practice inspired by the devil, now it’s generally considered harmless fun for kids at Halloween or a form of feminist spiritualism that empowers women. Dr. Judd Burton (BurtonBeyond.com), director of the Institute of Biblical Anthropology (tioba.org) and author of The Nephilim Dossier and The Book of Halloween,...

CITIZENS IN the United Kingdom voted June 23, 2016 to leave the European Union. As of October 2019, the UK is still in the EU. Why? Can Prime Minister Boris Johnson deliver Brexit over the resistance of the Remainers in Parliament? And why is Parliament going against the clear wishes of the British people? Filmmaker Mark Sutherland, a keen political observer, sat down with us at the Disclosure on...

A SERPENT-SHAPED ridge about three-quarters of a mile long sits less than a quarter-mile north of Gilgal Refaim, the megalithic maze on the Golan Heights. This mound is three times longer and four times higher than the Great Serpent Mound in Ohio, but it’s gone unnoticed by the world—until now. Doug Van Dorn, author of Giants: Sons of the Gods, who first spotted this mound about six years ago, and...

IT’S A GLOBAL phenomenon, and one that strikes terror into the hearts of witnesses. No one knows for sure who or what it is, but he’s generally called the Hat Man. Filmmaker and paranormal researcher Kyle J. Macias joins us to discuss his new documentary, The Hat Man: Documented Cases of Pure Evil, based on the stories people tell about their encounters with the Hat Man. Watch The Hat Man at Vimeo...

A HIGHLY FUNDED unofficial government agency, working off the books to investigate the UFO and alien abduction phenomena. That sounds like The X-Files, Project Blue Book, or Men in Black—but it’s real. The men behind Fourth Watch Films, Justen Faull, Wes Faull, and Chad Riley, discuss their new documentary that investigates a shadowy group called the Collins Elite. Working with experts like Rev. D...

SOMETIMES, TO REACH the lost, you have to get radical. Our guest this week does exactly that. With a modern jump-cut video style, dark glasses, and what he describes as 80s-style graphics, Drew Graffia teaches solid, biblical theology with a unique style that appeals to people who think the Bible is boring. Check out Drew’s YouTube channel The Radical Christian by clicking here. Download our free...

THE BIBLE did not drop from the sky fully formed and edited, much less translated into Elizabethan English. This may seem obvious, but many Christians are uncomfortable thinking about the process that produced the scriptures we take as the Word of God. Doug Woodward, author of Rebooting the Bible and the new book A Biography of the Christian Bible, explains why Christians can relax and know that m...

THE CHURCH laments the fact that young people are leaving the faith in droves. Maybe we’re not teaching them theology when they’re young enough for it to take root. Doug Overmyer of Seers See Ministries is doing something about that. Drawing on the Divine Council research of Dr. Michael Heiser, Doug offers a free curriculum to teach youth groups a supernatural worldview, to help them learn that th...

WE MAY not be putting the blame for the recent mass shootings in El Paso, Dayton, and elsewhere entirely where it belongs. Dr. Gregory Reid of YouthFire Ministries, an expert in occult crimes and crimes against children, discusses the principalities and powers behind the shooters.
