Blood & Oil Podcast

A 30-foot owl in the woods gets labeled “Moloch” online like it’s settled fact but the ancient record is a lot less dramatic and a lot more interesting. We sit down with Derek P. Gilbert to separate viral mythology from primary sources, and to track how names like Molech, Milcom, El, Kronos, and Saturn echo across the ancient Near East. Along the way, Derek explains why owl imagery actually shows...

A huge “disclosure” movie drops, new UAP videos and documents surface, and suddenly the question isn’t whether people believe in UFOs. It’s whether the story being told is designed to reshape faith, redefine truth, and reframe the supernatural into something safe, friendly, and worship-worthy. We walk through Spielberg’s “Disclosure Day” and the real-world disclosure drumbeat happening around it,...

Two UAP document dumps hit .gov sites, major media starts normalizing “non-human intelligence,” and suddenly the cultural temperature changes.  We feel it too, so we slow down and ask a better question: if the deception is coming, how do we stay anchored when the data looks real but the interpretation is weaponized? Our answer is not fear or obsession. It is Christ at the center, lived out through...

Something strange is happening in public life: people are still fine with “Christianity” as long as it stays flexible, therapeutic, and non-confrontational. The moment Scripture becomes the authority again, the label suddenly turns into a problem. We dig into why that shift matters, how progressive Christianity reframes truth, and what gets lost when faith becomes “your truth” instead of God’s tru...

A New Age “light worker” starts speaking “light language,” and it sounds uncomfortably familiar. If you’ve ever heard modern tongues and wondered, Is that the Holy Spirit, human emotion, or something darker, we go straight to the Bible and refuse to dodge the hard parts. We unpack speaking in tongues through 1 Corinthians 12–14 and Acts 2, including why Paul’s first test for spiritual manifestatio...

A president poised to “say everything,” a former president hinting that aliens are real, millions of files disappearing, and church leaders quietly told to prepare. The headlines sound cinematic, but the stakes are pastoral: if public disclosure of “non‑human intelligence” arrives, how do we keep our hearts steady and our loves rightly ordered? We walk through the breadcrumb trail—from Oval Office...

A candid, high-voltage conversation with pastor and author Bob Maddux that starts in the communes of Haight-Ashbury and lands in the urgent now: how do we carry genuine spiritual power without mixture, hype, or cover-up? Bob recounts his deliverance from the occult and the early days of the Jesus movement, then gets practical about the costs of character—real restoration, public repentance when si...

When spiritual hype meets public scandal, many of us feel torn between shutting it all down and chasing the next big word. We take the harder, better road: keep the gifts, raise the guardrails, and let Scripture set the terms. Starting with a recent prophetic exposé, we unpack what the Bible actually says about prophecy, discernment, and the difference between power and holiness. We begin by reaff...

What if the most dangerous idols are the ones no one can see? We dive straight into the heart, where good things—family, comfort, work, even ministry—can quietly take the place of God. Drawing on Ezekiel 14, Colossians 3, and Romans 1, we unpack how idolatry moves from altars of stone to patterns of desire, where love gets misdirected and lies keep us bound. The hard truth lands: many of us confes...

What if shrinking God’s wrath also shrinks His love? In response to recent comments from Kirk Cameron, we step straight into the debate around annihilationism—whether the wicked simply cease to exist—and test it against Scripture, God’s holiness, and the staggering worth of Christ’s sacrifice. With clear definitions and an open-handed tone, we unpack why Jesus spoke so often and so specifically ab...

The holiday arguments are loud, but the center is quiet and clear: the kingdom of God is not about eating, drinking, or a date on the calendar. We wade into the Christmas debates with receipts, Scripture, and pastoral wisdom, showing how to keep your conscience clean and your love strong without slipping into legalism or compromise. We start by dismantling the common claims about December 25. Draw...

What if the global order that kept the seas open and the dollar strong is the same order that must weaken for prophecy to unfold? We dig into the petrodollar’s origins, why America’s role as world policeman must eventually fade, and how this correlates to an Islamic invasion built around Sharia—more than a religion, a system. From “house of war” vs “house of peace” to the logic of taqiyya and the...

We take you from congressional hearings and military UAP videos to the places most shows won’t go—historical occult roots, theological implications of “life out there,” and what it means when abduction accounts...

Watch on YouTube A single feed can shake a world—and also wake it up. When a public murder ricocheted across the internet, the outrage machine roared, but something else broke through the noise: a surge of raw hunger for God.

The conversation begins by examining why this question spec...

What does it mean to live in spiritual victory? Christ won a decisive battle in His death and resurrection, yet many Christians still approach spiritual warfare as if they're fighting for victory rather than from victory. In this illuminating episode, we unpack the profound implications of Christ's triumph over the demonic realm. The cross wasn't just a historical event—it fundament...
