    The Day The Sun Stood Still

    Did Mars once pass dangerously close to Earth? In one of the Bible’s most extraordinary accounts, Joshua 10 describes the sun standing still, the moon stopping, and great stones falling from heaven as God fought for Israel. But what actually happened that day? In this episode of Questions at Midnight, we explore one of the most controversial theories ever proposed. Drawing from the work of Donald Patten, Stuart Harris, and Immanuel Velikovsky, we examine the hypothesis that ancient planetary catastrophes may lie behind some of history’s greatest mysteries. Along the way, we discuss Joshua’s Long Day, Mars as the ancient “god of war,” worldwide catastrophe traditions, Gulliver’s Travels and its curious reference to the two moons of Mars, and the evidence both supporting and challenging these ideas. More importantly, we ask what Scripture actually says—and what it doesn’t. Whether these theories withstand scrutiny or not, the biblical message remains unchanged: God is sovereign over creation, and He fought for Israel. Join us as we separate biblical fact from historical hypothesis, weigh the evidence, and ask whether one of the greatest miracles in Scripture may have unfolded in ways we have only begun to imagine.

    I Didn’t Tell Anyone

    For years, Leah Smith kept one extraordinary experience to herself. In this deeply personal interview, she shares publicly for the first time the story of a daytime UFO encounter she witnessed while driving through rural Oklahoma. What began as an unexplained sighting was followed by a series of unsettling supernatural events that deeply affected her spiritual life and left her searching for answers. Together, we discuss why she remained silent for so many years, the fear and spiritual darkness that followed the encounter, and what ultimately helped her find freedom, peace, and hope in Christ. This episode is not about sensationalism or speculation. It is an honest conversation about fear, faith, spiritual warfare, and the lasting impact unexplained experiences can have on a person’s life. Whether you’ve had an experience of your own or are simply seeking a biblical perspective on the phenomenon, Leah’s testimony offers encouragement that no darkness is beyond the reach of God’s grace.

    What If They’re Real? – Part 5: Tangible or Spiritual?

    The finale of the What If They’re Real? series asks one final question: Are these phenomena truly physical, spiritual, or somehow both? We explore the surprising nature of matter itself, why UFO reports often describe objects that appear both tangible and intangible, and how these accounts compare with biblical descriptions of angels and the unseen realm. From physical trace cases and reported debris to apports, spiritual manifestations, and the resurrection body of Christ, this episode examines whether Scripture provides a framework for understanding these mysteries. As the series concludes, we step back to reflect on the evidence, the biblical worldview, and why discernment matters more than ever.

    What If They’re Real? – Part 4: The Messages From the Visitors

    For decades, people claiming contact with mysterious visitors have reported remarkably similar messages: humanity was created by advanced beings, Jesus was only one enlightened teacher, all religions lead to the same truth, and mankind is evolving into something greater. In this episode, we examine these recurring claims, compare them with Scripture, and ask an important question: if these encounters are genuine, why do their teachings so consistently challenge the core truths of the Christian faith? Join us as we explore one of the most fascinating and spiritually significant aspects of the UFO phenomenon: the message itself.

    What If They’re Real? – Part 3: Abductions, Disclosure, and the Modern Narrative

    As public interest in UFOs continues to grow through congressional hearings, whistleblowers, and calls for “disclosure,” one question remains: What story are we being encouraged to believe? In this episode, we examine the modern phenomenon of alleged alien abductions, the striking similarities in reported experiences, and the spiritual messages that often accompany them. We also explore what government disclosure does and does not prove, compare the modern narrative with a biblical worldview, and discuss why Christians should approach these claims with both curiosity and discernment.

    What If They’re Real? – Part 2: Aliens, Elohim, and the Spiritual Question

    What are “aliens,” really? Before asking whether extraterrestrial life exists, we first need to define our terms. In this episode, we explore the biblical concept of elohim and how Scripture describes created beings that are not human and not of this earth. From angels and cherubim to the divine council, we examine how the Bible’s supernatural worldview differs from modern ideas about extraterrestrials. Along the way, we consider whether the UFO phenomenon is better understood through a spiritual lens than a technological one, challenging listeners to think carefully about the evidence, the terminology, and what the Bible actually teaches.

    What If They’re Real? – Part 1: The Long History of the Phenomenon

    In Part 1 of the What If They’re Real? series, Jeremiah explores reports of strange aerial phenomena stretching back through history—from ancient Roman accounts and medieval sky events to the famous sightings over Nuremberg, Germany. He also examines religious artwork that some believe contains unexplained objects in the sky and asks whether modern UFO narratives are simply the latest chapter in a much older mystery. As the evidence is examined, an important question emerges: if the phenomenon is real, why does its appearance seem to change with the times? Is humanity witnessing visitors from another world, misunderstood natural events, or something far stranger? Join us as we begin a journey into the history, mystery, and enduring questions surrounding one of the most fascinating subjects of our time.
