    The Strongest Case for Satan's Little Season | with MilesWithChrist

    What is the strongest biblical case that we're living in Satan's Little Season? In this episode of The Berean Files, we're joined by MilesWithChrist to hear the strongest scriptural defense for the Little Season theory. While conspiracy topics naturally enter the conversation, the primary focus is the Bible—examining the passages, prophetic timeline, and reasoning that have led many Christians to believe we are living in the "little season" described in Revelation 20. Our goal wasn't to stage a debate or score points. It was to listen carefully, ask honest questions, and test every claim against Scripture. By the end of the conversation, we don't arrive at the same conclusion, but we do demonstrate something increasingly rare: two believers discussing a difficult prophetic topic with mutual respect, charity, and a shared desire to glorify Christ. Whether you're convinced we're living in the Little Season, convinced we're not, or you're simply trying to understand the arguments, we hope this conversation encourages you to search the Scriptures like the Bereans and keep Christ at the center. "Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so." — Acts 17:11 MilesWithChrist Youtube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@MilesWithChrist.InTheLS/streams

    The Dark Side of Deliverance Ministries | with Seth Kicklighter

    Modern deliverance ministry has exploded in popularity—but what happens when biblical language begins to overlap with New Age concepts? In Part 2 of our conversation with Seth Kicklighter, we examine claims that certain modern deliverance teachings borrow ideas from spirit releasement therapy, regression techniques, and other occult healing practices while presenting them through a Christian lens. Seth argues that many of these methods rely on subjective spiritual experiences rather than Scripture and challenges listeners to carefully test every spirit and every teaching. Topics include: • The similarities between New Age spirit releasement therapy and modern deliverance ministries • Daniel DuVal's teachings and why they've become so controversial • Can demons produce healings? • DMT, altered states, and spiritual deception • Astral projection, "higher selves," and spirit guides • Discernment, testing spiritual experiences, and the authority of God's Word Whether you agree with Seth's conclusions or not, this conversation highlights the importance of examining every claim in light of Scripture rather than experience alone. "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God..." — 1 John 4:1Follow and subscribe for more conversations exploring theology, discernment, conspiracies, and the supernatural through a biblical worldview.

How do cults gain influence? Why do sincere people become convinced of false teachings?

Whether you're trying to understand groups like Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, or other high-control religious movements, this conversation offers practical wisdom for sharing Christ with those who have been spiritually deceived. Our goal isn't to win arguments—it's to make disciples by speaking the truth in love.If you enjoy this recovered episode, be sure to subscribe to The Berean Files for weekly conversations exploring Scripture, discernment, church history, apologetics, and the ideas shaping our world—all through a biblical lens. #TheBereanFiles #RecoveredFiles #DonVeinot #Apologetics #Discernment #Cults #Christianity #Evangelism #FalseTeaching

    When Demons Fight Back | with Mike Wiggin.

    Is spiritual warfare real? If so, when does it happen... and why?Many Christians think of spiritual warfare as something mysterious or reserved for the mission field. But throughout Scripture, those who advanced the Kingdom of God consistently encountered opposition. Jesus was tempted in the wilderness. The apostles faced relentless spiritual resistance. The early church didn't simply believe in a spiritual battle—they lived in one.In this episode, we're joined by Mike Wiggin to discuss the biblical reality of spiritual warfare, demonic opposition, and why those who actively make disciples often experience the fiercest resistance. We share personal stories from ministry, examine what the Bible actually says about the unseen realm, and separate biblical truth from fear-driven speculation.Our goal isn't to glorify darkness—it's to expose it with the light of Christ and equip believers to stand firm.Topics include:Why spiritual attacks often increase during Kingdom workPersonal experiences with spiritual warfareWhat Scripture teaches about demonic oppositionDiscernment vs. paranoiaHow believers should respond when the enemy pushes backStanding firm in Christ without fear"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness..." — Ephesians 6:12If this episode encourages you, consider subscribing, leaving a review, and sharing it with someone who needs to be reminded that the battle is real—but Christ has already won the victory.#SpiritualWarfare #TheBereanFiles #MikeWiggin #ChristianPodcast #Demons #DiscipleMaking #BiblicalWorldview #Ephesians6 #KingdomOfGod #Apologetics

    Are we really living in Satan's Little Season? It's one of the fastest-growing end-times theories online—and it raises some huge questions.Has Satan already been released? Has history been altered? Are we living in a period of unprecedented deception, or are these claims built on a misunderstanding of Scripture and history?In this episode, we're joined by Ed Mabrie to carefully examine the biblical passages behind the "Little Season" theory. Together we explore:What Revelation actually says about Satan's releaseThe historical claims often connected to the theoryWhether we're living in the "Millennial Kingdom"How Christians should approach extraordinary claimsWhy testing everything against Scripture matters more than chasing speculationWhether you've become convinced by this view or you've never heard of it before, our goal isn't to mock or sensationalize the topic—it's to do what Bereans do: open the Scriptures, ask hard questions, and follow the evidence wherever it leads."Test everything; hold fast what is good." – 1 Thessalonians 5:21If this conversation challenges you, consider subscribing and joining us as we continue to explore difficult topics through a biblical worldview.#BibleProphecy #Revelation #SatansLittleSeason #EndTimes #ChristianPodcast #BereanFiles #BiblicalWorldview #Discernment #EdMabrie #Theology #BibleStudy

    Occult Symbolism, Metatron & the Enneagram | TBF on Six Sensory Podcast

    The Enneagram has become one of the most influential personality systems in the modern church—but where did it actually come from?In this crossover episode with Tim Constantine from the Six Sensory Podcast, we trace the Enneagram back to its modern roots, exploring the influence of Gurdjieff, occult philosophy, channeling, and esoteric spirituality. Along the way, we examine concepts surrounding Metatron, symbolism, sacred geometry, and why symbols have played such a significant role in shaping religious and cultural movements throughout history. Rather than accepting popular narratives at face value, we test the historical claims and spiritual foundations of the Enneagram against Scripture. Is it simply a neutral personality tool, or is there more to its origins than many Christians realize?Join us as we explore how the Enneagram became embedded in churches, why discernment matters, and how believers can faithfully evaluate every teaching in light of God's Word. If you enjoy biblical investigations into theology, church history, modern deception, and cultural discernment, subscribe to The Berean Files and join us as we seek truth wherever it leads.

    Who Are God's Chosen People? | with Jared Madden

    For many Christians, the phrase God's chosen people seems like an easy question to answer—but is our understanding shaped more by modern theology than by Scripture?In this episode of The Berean Files, we're joined by Jared Madden to examine what the Bible actually teaches about God's covenant people. We explore the relationship between the nation-state of Israel, the promises made to Abraham, the role of the Church, and how Jews and Gentiles are united through faith in Jesus Christ.Along the way, we discuss the rise of dispensational theology, the influence of Christian Zionism, and why these topics deserve careful, Berean-style study. Our goal isn't to promote a political position, but to encourage believers to search the Scriptures and test every tradition against God's Word.Whether you agree with our conclusions or not, we invite you to open your Bible, think critically, and join the conversation.Topics Covered:Who are God's chosen people?The "Israel of God" in the New TestamentJews and Gentiles united in ChristRomans 9–11, Galatians 3, and Ephesians 2Dispensationalism and Christian ZionismThe importance of interpreting Scripture in context"Now these Jews were more noble... for they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so." — Acts 17:11 #BibleStudy #ChristianPodcast  #Theology #Scripture #JesusChrist #dispensationalism

    The Great Commission Was Never Just for Pastors | with Peyton Jones

    What if the greatest mission Jesus gave His followers has quietly become something we expect pastors and church leaders to do for us?In this episode of The Berean Files, we sit down with Peyton Jones, author of Discipology, to explore the biblical model of disciple-making and why it was never intended to be reserved for ministry professionals. From the very beginning, Jesus called ordinary men and women to follow Him, learn from Him, and then go make disciples of others.We discuss why so many Christians feel unequipped to disciple someone, how the modern church can unintentionally confuse attendance with discipleship, and what it looks like to live out the Great Commission in everyday life—as parents, coworkers, neighbors, friends, and members of our local churches.Whether you've been a Christian for decades or you're wondering where to begin, this conversation is a practical and biblical reminder that the call to make disciples belongs to every believer.In this episode:Why the Great Commission isn't just for pastorsThe difference between church attendance and disciple-makingHow Jesus' model can be lived out todayPractical ways to begin discipling othersWhy multiplication—not addition—was always God's planwww.discipology.com "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations..." — Matthew 28:19–20If this conversation encourages you, be sure to subscribe, share this episode with someone who wants to grow in their faith, and let us know in the comments: Who has discipled you, and who are you discipling?#TheBereanFiles #Discipleship #GreatCommission #PeytonJones #Discipology #ChristianPodcast #DiscipleMaking #BiblicalLeadership #FollowJesus #Church
