Did Joshua Make the Sun Stand Still? [Are You Sure You Know Pt. 3]
Did the sun stop moving in the sky in Joshua 10, or are we misunderstanding how ancients thought of the sun "standing still"? Does taking a less common view mean you have less faith? Why were Israel's surrounding neighbors so particular about the alignment of stars and planets before battle and how may that play a role in this popular story? Join us for part 3 of our current series: "Are you sure you know what that verse means?"

Abraham's Promise: 'As' the Stars in Heaven? [Are you sure you know Pt. 2]
In the second part of the "Are you sure you know whats that verse means?" series, Nick Shalna presents a prominent ancient Jewish view of God's promise to Abraham in Genesis 15. What does it mean to be made "as" the stars in heaven? Is this simply quantitative and a reference to numerical value, or is there something more? How should we understand being made "heirs of the cosmos"?

What definitely DIDN'T Happen at Babel (Response to Kristi Burke) [Are you sure you know Pt.1]
In the first episode of the "Are you sure you know what that verse means" series, Nick Shalna responds to a video from a popular Youtuber on the story of the Tower of Babel. What really happened in Genesis 11? Why does God say let "us" go down? Is this story just a myth? Why is context so important when interpreting the Bible?

Customer Reviews
Informative/Insightful/Interesting
I started listening to “The Universe Next Door” early in 2023 and look forward to new episodes every week. I find discussions that delve into often overlooked or misunderstood text to be very enlightening. Topics range from the Divine Council to Christian nationalism.
The host and guests are knowledgeable and straightforward. I appreciate the insights they provide.
Fun
Even though I do not agree with a couple of Nick’s opinions, this still is one of my “go to” podcast 😊
I have learned quite a bit and enjoy listening to the special guests!
Keep up the great work Nick!
Astronomy vs. astrology
Hey Nick, I think that you are reversing the terms sometimes in your comments. Great show! I enjoy your insights and the depth of your knowledge.
But, occasionally, you call the pseudo-science of future telling ‘astronomy’ but I am fairly certain that ‘astrology’ is the correct term. Astronomy is the science.
