    Cryptids: Real Creatures or just Legends? | Natalie Rose

    How do we know when we're investigating a mystery — and when we're helping create one? Bennett sits down with Natalie Rose of The Midnight Cryptid Club for a wide-ranging conversation about cryptids, eyewitness testimony, folklore, internet culture, skepticism, and the strange line between biological creatures and the paranormal. Natalie approaches cryptid research differently. Rather than accepting every strange story at face value, she digs into the original reports, historical records, physical evidence, independent witnesses, and the ways stories change as they're retold. They discuss Mothman, Sasquatch, Dogman, the Van Meter Visitor, Lizard Man, the Dover Demon, the Beast of Bray Road, the Jersey Devil, Wendigo, Nessie, the Enfield Horror, Rougarou, Squonk and several lesser-known cases. Natalie explains why researching Mothman actually made her LESS convinced, why independent eyewitness reports matter, how TikTok and internet culture may be creating folklore in real time, and why some of the strangest cryptid encounters seem to cross into paranormal territory. The conversation also gets into a disturbing recurring pattern Natalie has noticed in some reports: witnesses whose lives appear to dramatically change after an encounter. And maybe the biggest question of the episode: Do we actually want cryptids to be discovered? Because once Bigfoot becomes a recognized animal, part of the mystery disappears with it.

    What Happened Between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2? | The War Before Genesis - EP 3

    What happened between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2? Genesis begins with God creating the heavens and the earth. But the very next verse describes the earth as “formless and void” — tohu va vohu — covered in darkness. Then Isaiah 45:18 says God did not create the earth tohu. So what happened? In Episode 3 of The War Before Genesis, Bennett examines one of the most debated interpretations of the opening verses of the Bible: the Gap Theory. Could Genesis 1:1 describe an original ordered creation, followed by a catastrophic judgment connected to Lucifer’s rebellion? Could Genesis 1:3 onward describe restoration rather than creation from nothing? We examine: • Genesis 1:1–2 and the Hebrew behind “was” and “became” • The meaning of tohu va vohu • Isaiah 45:18 and God’s statement about the creation of the earth • Jeremiah 4 and Isaiah 34 • Lucifer’s rebellion and Ezekiel 28 • The sons of God in Job 38 • The possibility of a pre-Adamic world • Darkness over the face of the deep • The history of the Gap Theory • Thomas Chalmers, G.H. Pember and Arthur Custance • The strongest biblical arguments against the Gap Theory • Romans 5 and death before Adam • Exodus 20:11 and the six days of creation • What changes about the biblical story if the Gap Theory is correct This episode does not treat the Gap Theory as settled doctrine. The goal is to examine the biblical argument, the objections to it, and the possibility that Genesis 1 may begin in the aftermath of a conflict that started before humanity ever entered the story. Episode 1 asked who the adversary was before he became the adversary. Episode 2 examined the war in heaven and Satan’s continuing access to the divine court. Episode 3 opens the gap between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2. And Episode 4 asks the hardest question of the series: Why would God create a being capable of rebellion in the first place? Stay rooted.

    Satan Fell… So Why Is He Still in Heaven? | The War Before Genesis - EP 2

    Satan fell from heaven — so why does the Book of Job show him standing before God? In Episode 2 of The War Before Genesis, Bennett examines one of the strangest problems in the biblical timeline of Satan: Lucifer appears to have been expelled from the mountain of God, yet Job and Zechariah still portray the adversary appearing in the divine court and accusing God's people. What if Satan's fall wasn't a single event? This episode explores a two-stage framework: an original rebellion that removed the adversary from his former position, followed by the Cross and the removal of his remaining role as the accuser. Revelation 12, Luke 10:18, Job, Zechariah 3, Isaiah 14, Ezekiel 28, John 12, and other passages are examined together to build the timeline. We examine: Why Satan can still appear before God in Job The meaning of Bene Elohim — the sons of God Satan's role as the accuser Zechariah's heavenly courtroom scene What Jesus meant by “I saw Satan fall like lightning” The war between Michael and the Dragon in Revelation 12 Whether Revelation 12 happened before Genesis, at the Cross, or remains future How the blood of Christ answers the accusations against humanity Why Satan is described as knowing that his time is short What spiritual warfare looks like after the decisive victory of Christ The episode's central argument is that the Cross removed the legal basis for Satan's accusations, with Revelation 12 portraying the accuser being cast down after that authority is broken. The War Before Genesis — Episode 2: The War in Heaven Episode 3 asks an even stranger question: Was there a world before Adam?

    Who Was Lucifer Before the Fall? | The War Before Genesis - EP 1

    Who was Lucifer before he became the adversary? In Episode 1 of The War Before Genesis, Bennett Tanton examines Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 to reconstruct the biblical profile of the being Christians commonly call Lucifer. Before the serpent. Before Satan. Before the war in heaven. Isaiah records five extraordinary declarations: “I will ascend to heaven.” “I will raise my throne above the stars of God.” “I will sit on the mount of assembly.” “I will ascend above the heights of the clouds.” “I will make myself like the Most High.” What was he trying to accomplish? We examine the meaning of Helel ben Shachar — the Shining One, Son of the Dawn — and why “Lucifer” entered the Christian vocabulary through the Latin Vulgate. Then we turn to Ezekiel 28 and the mysterious description of a being who was in Eden, walked on the holy mountain of God, was described as perfect in beauty and full of wisdom, and served as the “anointed cherub who covers.” We also examine: • Lucifer and the Divine Council • The five “I will” declarations of Isaiah 14 • The Mount of Assembly • The biblical role of cherubim • Lucifer's presence in Eden • Pride and corrupted wisdom • The difference between Lucifer, Satan, and the Devil • The origin of the first rebellion • Why the timeline of Satan's fall is more complicated than many Christians realize • The coming War in Heaven The rebellion did not begin with a cartoon devil holding a pitchfork. Scripture presents something far more serious: a powerful created being who occupied an extraordinary position and chose autonomous rule over submission to his Creator. This is The War Before Genesis — Episode 1: Lucifer Before the Fall. Episode 2 tackles one of the hardest questions in the biblical account: When did Satan actually fall? Job places the adversary in the divine court. Jesus speaks about Satan falling from heaven. Revelation 12 describes war in heaven. How do these passages fit together?

    Why Did Satan Rebel If He Knew He Couldn’t Win? | Sunday Seeds

    Why would Satan rebel against God if he already knew he could never win? That question opens the very first episode of Sunday Seeds, a new weekly gathering on Broadcasting Seeds centered on Scripture, prayer, teaching, and truth. This week, Bennett examines one of the oldest questions in Scripture: What was the sin behind Satan’s fall? Was it rebellion? Ambition? A desire to be worshipped? Or was something deeper already happening before any of those things appeared? Through Ezekiel 28, Isaiah 14, Luke 10, 1 Timothy 3, James 4, 1 Peter 5, Proverbs 16, and Philippians 2, we examine pride not simply as arrogance, but as the elevation of self — taking something God genuinely gave you and allowing it to become the center. Jesus gives an extraordinary warning in Luke 10 when the seventy return celebrating that demons are subject to them. He does not deny their authority. He redirects their joy: “Rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.” Why? Because there is a difference between celebrating what you can do and celebrating what God has done for you. And that difference may tell us far more about the fall of Satan than we realize. In this episode: • Why Satan could know God's power and still rebel • Ezekiel 28 and the “lifted up” heart • The five “I will” statements of Isaiah 14 • Jesus’ warning to the seventy in Luke 10 • Why 1 Timothy connects pride with “the condemnation of the devil” • The difference between humility and thinking poorly of yourself • Satan’s upward movement compared with Christ’s humility in Philippians 2 • Why knowledge, spiritual authority, and proximity to God are not protection against pride • The announcement of weekly Sunday Seeds prayer requests • The blessing of Numbers 6 Starting next Sunday, Sunday Seeds will also include prayer requests submitted by viewers and listeners. If you would like prayer for yourself, your family, a decision, a struggle, a spiritual battle, or anything you are carrying, leave your request in the comments or send it privately. Anonymous requests are welcome. And if a prayer is answered, come back and tell us. Sunday Seeds is here every Sunday. Bring your Bible. Scripture. Prayer. Teaching. Truth.

    An Nguyen's Family's Descent into Spiritual Warfare | Part 2

    A mother who says her daughter can see into the unseen world returns with an even deeper account of what they believe is happening around them. This conversation moves into some of the strangest territory we have covered on Broadcasting Seeds: demonic hierarchies, principalities, astral attacks, portals, guardian angels, generational curses, deliverance, witchcraft, spiritual attacks connected to everyday objects, and the question of whether Christians really understand the war described in Ephesians 6. The guest describes alleged encounters involving organized spiritual attacks, entities she identifies as demons, portals inside her home and battles that she believes are part of a much larger conflict. She also explains why her experiences led her away from New Age beliefs and toward a Christian understanding of spiritual warfare. One of the biggest ideas in this conversation is that spiritual warfare isn't something you simply finish. In her view, deliverance isn't a one-time event and becoming a Christian doesn't make someone automatically immune from spiritual attack. The fight requires awareness, prayer, repentance and a willingness to confront what may be happening in your own life. We also discuss: The hierarchy of demons and principalities Whether demons are fallen angels or something else The Nephilim and the unseen world Portals and alleged astral attacks Ephesians 6 and the Armor of God Guardian angels Generational curses and bloodlines Deliverance and spiritual defense Lilith and succubus-type entities Demons allegedly attaching themselves to objects Witchcraft and spiritually charged items Protecting children from spiritual attack Why the guest believes every person ultimately has to fight their own spiritual battle Near the end, the conversation turns to her upcoming books, including a larger account of her family's experiences and a prayer book designed around the spiritual practices she says she developed during these encounters. This episode presents the guest's personal testimony, religious beliefs and interpretation of her experiences. Extraordinary supernatural and medical claims discussed during the conversation should not be taken as independently established fact or medical advice.

    The Dark Truth About the Watchers and UFOs | Will Blesch

    Genesis 6, the Watchers, Nephilim, UFOs, non-human intelligence, fallen angels and the possibility of a second incursion are at the center of this conversation with author Will Blesch. Will Blesch joins Bennett on Broadcasting Seeds to discuss his book In the Shadow of Goliath and an ancient supernatural worldview that may have far more to say about the modern UFO phenomenon than many realize. Will's interest in the subject began after witnessing a silent black triangular UFO as a child in Virginia. Years later, his research into the Hebrew Scriptures, Second Temple literature, the Book of Enoch, Jewish traditions and modern experiencer accounts led him to notice striking parallels between ancient descriptions of non-human beings and what people report today. We examine Genesis 6 and the identity of the Bene Elohim — the Sons of God, why Will rejects the Sethite interpretation, and how ancient Jewish readers understood the Watchers. Then the conversation turns to the Nephilim. Were they simply giants? Were they hybrid beings? Was the corruption before the Flood part of a larger war against humanity? And if the Nephilim existed "afterward," did another incursion occur after the Flood? Bennett and Will discuss Mount Hermon, Sodom and Gomorrah, Canaan, the Deuteronomy 32 worldview, principalities and the possibility that the original rebellion continued in more limited forms after Noah. Then comes the question at the heart of the episode: What if some of the beings we call aliens or non-human intelligence today aren't new at all? Will explains why the work of researchers such as Jacques Vallée — and the idea that UFO phenomena may be interdimensional rather than extraterrestrial — can fit surprisingly well within the supernatural worldview presented in Scripture. Gods. Spirits. Angels. Demons. Watchers. Non-human intelligence. Different beings may exist within those categories, but humanity's interaction with intelligences beyond itself may be far older than the modern UFO age. Will's final challenge is simple: think critically, read Scripture for yourself, and don't outsource your understanding of these questions to someone else. Will Blesch is an Israel-based biblical history and ancient mysteries researcher and the author of In the Shadow of Goliath. His official site describes his work as examining biblical cosmology, ancient mysteries, UAPs and non-human intelligence.

    What the Bible Doesn't Tell You: The Cosmic War Explained

    Most Christians know the stories. Adam and Eve. Noah and the Flood. Babel. Abraham. The Nephilim. David and Goliath. Jesus casting out demons. Pentecost. But what if these aren't disconnected supernatural events? In this episode of Broadcasting Seeds, Bennett Tanton follows a thread that begins in Genesis and doesn't end until Revelation: a biblical cosmic war involving rebellion, nations, spiritual powers, allegiance, territory, judgment, and reclamation. It starts with a footnote in Deuteronomy 32:8. Some biblical manuscripts read that God divided the nations according to the number of the “sons of God,” followed immediately by the declaration that Jacob would be the Lord's own portion. From there, we follow the story through Genesis 3, Genesis 6, Babel, Psalm 82, Daniel 10, the Rephaim, Bashan, Azazel, Caesarea Philippi, the Gates of Hades, the crucifixion, the spirits in prison, Pentecost, Ephesians 6, and Revelation. The question is bigger than whether demons or spiritual beings exist. What if much of the Bible is telling the story of a kingdom taking back territory that had fallen under rebellious powers? And if that's the story Scripture is telling, what does spiritual warfare actually look like for us now? This episode also draws a hard line between what the biblical text directly says, what comes from Second Temple Jewish tradition such as 1 Enoch, and where interpretation begins. Broadcasting Seeds explores the Bible, spiritual warfare, supernatural phenomena, ancient history, high strangeness, and the questions many churches rarely talk about.
