Hello, Weirdos – I’m Pastor Darren – welcome to the Church of the Undead. It doesn’t matter if you are a "Weirdo-in-Christ" or just a Weirdo – everyone is welcome here at the Church of the Undead. And I use the word “undead” because here we are DEAD to sin and ALIVE in Christ! If you want to join this Weirdo congregation, just click that SUBSCRIBE or FOLLOW button – and visit us online at WeirdDarkness.com/CHURCH. Full disclosure – I might use the term “pastor” because I’ve branded this podcast as a church – but I do not have a theology degree, nor did I ever go to Bible college. I’m just a guy who gave his life to Christ in 1989 and has tried to “walk the walk” every since – and has stumbled a lot along the way – because, like everybody else, I am an imperfect, heavily-flawed human being. So please don’t take what I say as gospel; dig into God’s word yourself for confirmation, inspiration, and revelation. That being said, welcome to the Church of the Undead!

    I Saw A UFO Over Iowa | And Most Christians Would Handle This Wrong!

    Last Wednesday, somewhere over Iowa, I watched a shiny object make a ninety-degree turn inside a cloud and then reverse course back into it. I don't know what I saw. But I know that the two responses most Christians would have to a sighting like mine are both wrong — and Scripture actually commands a third way that almost nobody practices.

  4. HARROWING OF HELL | The Rarely Told Truth of The Saturday After Good Friday Before Easter Sunday!

    APR 6

    HARROWING OF HELL | The Rarely Told Truth of The Saturday After Good Friday Before Easter Sunday!

    Every Easter Sunday, pastors around the world deliver the same message: Jesus rose from the grave. And that is absolutely true. But today we are not talking about Sunday morning. We are talking about Saturday. What was happening in the realm of the dead during those three days while the disciples hid, the soldiers stood guard, and the world assumed evil had won? The answer is something you have almost certainly never heard from any pulpit, any pastor, or any religious speaker — ever. This is the Harrowing of Hell.

    The Men In Suits Showed Up at His Door and Said "Stop Talking" | Could MIB Be Older Than You Think?

    They show up without warning. They know things they shouldn't. And they always have the same message: stop talking about what you saw. The Men in Black have been silencing witnesses for decades. But this tactic is far older than flying saucers. SERMON TRANSCRIPT… https://weirddarkness.com/cotu-mib Weird Darkness® and Church Of The Undead™ are trademarked.
