THE ENEMY has driven a wedge between Christians and Jews. About 1,900 years of bad blood exists, and it’s exacerbated by a belief that Christians have replaced Israel in the blessings promised by God.

Dr. Mike Spaulding (DrMikeSpaulding.com), author of the book Replacement Theology, joins us to address the contentious relationship between Christians and Jews, particularly in light of rising anti-Jewish sentiment within the Christia...

WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP in the White House again, many of his supporters might be tempted to assume everything in Washington is going to be all right.

That’s just what his adversaries want you to think. 

In this episode, we discuss the Stay Awake America Tour, featuring guests Pastor Caspar McCloud (CasparMcCloudMusic.com), Renae' Truex (RenaeTruex.com), and Ohio Amy (StayAweakeAmerica.com). Our conversation revolves around the importa...

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: Genesis, Jesus, and the Second Centur...

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), best-selling author of the theological th...

TURKEY PLAYS a key role in the events unfolding in the Middle East. 

Avi Lipkin (BiblicalAlliance.com) spoke to our tour group in Jerusalem in October, explaining why he sees Turkey as a key player in a war that will involve the entire Middle East. Of course, conflict involving Israel always has prophetic significance. 

Avi also explains why the Israeli military appeared to be caught off guard by the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023...

The Book of Jubilees is basically a retelling of Genesis and Exodus with a focus on the law.

Our Iron and Myth crew assembles to discuss a book written around the same time as the Book of 1 Enoch but with a different perspective on the ultimate solution to the problem of evil. Joining us is Doug Van Dorn (DouglasVanDorn.com), author of Giants: Sons of the Gods; and Brian Godawa (Godawa.com), best-selling author of the theological t...

DID THE United States really lose World War 2?

Not on the battlefield; the outcome of the armed conflict is pretty clear. But after the war, the United States brought Nazi technology into the country through scientists who were smuggled out of Germany via the “rat lines” set up by Allen Dulles, later the Director of the CIA under President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Researcher and author Doug Woodward joins us to talk about his new book...
HOW SERIOUSLY should Christians take a book that’s not in the Bible, written thousands of years after the man it’s named for, and has caused controversy in the church for the last 2,000 years? 

Of course, we’re talking about the Book of Enoch—or, more accurately, the Book of 1 Enoch. (There are a 2 Enoch and 3 Enoch, both written during the Christian era. They really aren’t of much use to Christians.)

Dr. Judd Burton (www.BurtonBeyo...
NO MYTHICAL LAND has captured the imagination of poets, dreamers, and adventurers like Atlantis. But why should Christians care?

THE GATES OF HELL is a real place. Jesus took his disciples on a 14-hour hike to declare his divinity there, which suggests there was something important about the place.

THE BOOK OF REVELATION is cryptic and complex. Supernaturally so.

Critics who write off Revelation as a hallucination have obviously not looked at the literary structure of the book. The Iron and Myth crew discusses a book by regular IaM panelist Doug Van Dorn (DouglasVanDorn.com), Rings of Revelation, that shows a level of complexity to the work of the apostle John that is beyond human.

THE SO-CALLED silent centuries between the Book of Malachi and the Gospel of Matthew weren’t as quiet as we’ve been taught.

This month, the Iron and Myth crew discusses a fictionalized account of Judea’s struggle for independence in the second century BC from the rule (and gods) of their Greek overlords by Iron and Myth regular and best-selling author Brian Godawa (Godawa.com), Judah Maccabee Part 1: Abomination of Desolation and Ju...

IT’S BECOMING more acceptable for pagans to proclaim their faith openly in America.

Carl Teichrib (GameOfGods.ca), author of Game of Gods: The Temple of Man in the Age of Re-enchantment, shares his experiences at the 2025 Paganicon in Minneapolis. Carl tells us that many of the Neo-pagans there, who now follow gods of the Greek, Roman, Mesopotamian, and Norse pantheons, came out of Christian churches.

IT’S CALLED the world’s oldest temple. While only a small portion of the site has been excavated, the clues point to one solid conclusion: It was meant as a point of contact with the gods.

IT’S DIFFICULT enough explaining why we Christians believe in Jesus, but doing so with our Jewish brothers and sisters requires tact and patience made necessary by almost 1,900 years of mutual animosity.

PRESIDENT TRUMP made more heads explode this week with his announcements about Gaza and the creation of a White House Faith Office.

Leftists and Muslims are incensed by Trump’s proposal to rebuild Gaza, which they’re calling “ethnic cleansing,” conveniently forgetting that negotiations for a two-state solution to the Arab-Israeli problem have yet to yield results after about 90 years of trying. Meanwhile, liberals, atheists, and ma...

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
