    When the Spirits Answer Back: How the Bible Understands Spiritual Encounters

    What does Scripture assume is happening when spiritual beings respond, deceive, or intervene? This conversation explores how the biblical authors understood spiritual encounters—not through modern psychology or superstition, but through ancient cosmology, divine councils, and spiritual authority. If you’ve ever wondered whether the Bible actually expects the unseen world to interact with ours, this is where the conversation gets serious.

    The Cosmic Mountain: It's Time To Start The Ascent

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit strangertheology.substack.com In our inaugural episode of The Cosmic Mountain, we’re pulling back the curtain on one of the most overlooked yet essential features of biblical cosmology: mountains aren’t just pretty hiking spots, or an ancient tourist attraction. They were cosmic intersections. Ever wonder where stories of portals, time travel, and inter-dimensional existences came from? What if it all has to do with the “Cosmic Mountain.” Think about it. When was the last time you read about a biblical mountain and thought, “Oh, this is where heaven, earth, and the underworld meet”? Probably never. But that’s exactly what the original readers understood. The Ancient Map You’ve Never Seen In this episode, we dive deep into ancient Hebrew cosmology (don’t worry, we make it fascinating, not boring; and accessible). Picture this: The Peak: Reaching into the heavens themselves (Ps 48:2-3) The Base: Extending down into Sheol, the underworld (Ps 46:3; 104:5-9) The Middle: Where we live, where the action happens, where cosmic battles play out This wasn’t unique to Israel. From Greece to Japan, from India to Africa, ancient cultures recognized mountains as places of divine manifestation. They knew something we’ve forgotten.
