Ep. 56: Did the Nephilim Come to America? The Ozarks Evidence Nobody Talks About

Nephilim? Giants? Book of Enoch? Fallen Angels? In Missouri?? In 1934, a man named Sterling Price Newberry unearthed a seven-foot skeleton buried in a Missouri mound near the James River — surrounded by seven normal-sized skeletons arranged in a cross-shaped formation. That same burial pattern has since been found in Sardinia, where researchers uncovered eight-foot skeletons in the identical arrangement. Coincidence? Or evidence of something far older than American history? In this episode, Jonathan and David sit down with Nicholas Daigle — hospice nurse turned biblical researcher and author of Genesis 6 and the Ozarks — to trace the Nephilim from the mountains of Canaan all the way to the hills of Missouri. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━IN THIS CONVERSATION:━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ * Why the Sethite view of Genesis 6 doesn't hold up — and what the fallen angel view actually explains * How the Israelite conquest of Canaan may have triggered a Nephilim migration to the Americas * The straight line on Google Earth connecting American Stonehenge → England's Stonehenge → Baalbeck, Lebanon * What the Book of Enoch says about fallen angels "sinning against all flesh" — and how it explains mythological hybrids like centaurs and minotaurs * Why nearly every ancient civilization has both a flood myth AND a giant legend — and what that means for Genesis 6 * The uncomfortable question the American church keeps avoiding about the supernatural "Keep an open mind and an open Bible." ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━📖 Genesis 6 | Book of Enoch | Nephilim Giants | Biblical Archaeology━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔗 Get Nicholas's book: Genesis 6 and the Ozarks [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G2FLSD15/?bestFormat=true&k=genesis%206%20and%20the%20ozarks&ref_=nb_sb_ss_w_scx-ent-bk-ww_k0_1_17_de&crid=2PVZK6KVK3ED&sprefix=genesis%206%20and%20the] Subscribe for new episodes every Monday at 5AM Central — no denominations, just the Word. #Nephilim #Genesis6 #FallenAngels #BiblicalArchaeology #BookofEnoch #GiantsInTheBible #DeformedTheology 🔗 Connect With Deformed Theology:Website: DeformedTheologyShow.com [DeformedTheologyShow.com] New episodes every Monday at 5AM Central. #Nephilim #BookOfEnoch #FallenAngels #Genesis6 #BiblicalArchaeology #Giants #DeformedTheology

Ep. 55: Fasting and Prayer: What Most Christians Get Wrong

Is fasting just about skipping meals — or is there something deeper happening spiritually? In this episode, we break down what biblical fasting actually means, why it's not the same as intermittent fasting, and how the Bible connects fasting to prayer, repentance, and spiritual warfare. We explore the 40-day fasts of Moses, Elijah, and Jesus, the connection to the Mount of Transfiguration, and why Jesus said some battles can only be won through prayer and fasting. Plus: what a media fast can reveal about your habits, why fasting "sucks" (and why that's the point), and how to make this discipline a lifestyle — not just a crisis response. 📖 Key Scriptures: Exodus 34, Matthew 4, Deuteronomy 8, Isaiah 58, Mark 9, Matthew 6, 1 Kings 19, Nehemiah 9, 1 Corinthians 9 www.DeformedTheologyShow.com [www.DeformedTheologyShow.com] New episodes every Monday at 5am Central. #BiblicalFasting #FastingAndPrayer #ChristianFaith #DeformedTheology

Ep. 54: The Alien Deception: What Scripture Reveals About UAPs

Are UFOs real? Are aliens demons? With the White House releasing UAP footage and the world buzzing about disclosure, Christians need a biblical framework — not fear. In this episode, Jonathan and David break down what scripture actually says about aliens, UAPs, and cryptids, and whether these phenomena are demonic deception, advanced technology, or something else entirely. We explore:• The 2004 Tic Tac video and what the Bible says about "heavens plural"• Ezekiel's wheels, Elijah's chariot of fire, and strange phenomena in scripture• Why the enemy uses "alien" narratives as a desensitization tactic• The Vatican's stance on extraterrestrial life and the theological problems it creates• How to test the spirits and guard against the coming deception• What Matthew 24 and 2 Thessalonians reveal about end-times signs in the sky If you've ever wondered how to think about aliens, UFOs, and the supernatural from a biblical perspective — this one's for you. Don't fear the unknown. Know the Word. 📖 Key Scriptures: Genesis 1:1, Ezekiel 1, 2 Kings 2:11, Matthew 24, 1 Thessalonians 5, 1 John 4:1 ✝️ New episodes every Monday at 5am Central. —Chapters:0:00 — Aliens, UAPs & Tin Foil Hats2:15 — The Tic Tac Video & Government Disclosure6:40 — What Does "Alien" Even Mean Biblically?11:30 — Ezekiel's Wheels & Chariots of Fire16:45 — Demonic Deception or Advanced Tech?22:10 — The Vatican, C.S.

Ep. 53: Spirit-Filled Post-Hardcore Music: When Heavy Music Meets Deep Theology ft. Plead the Widow's Cause

What happens when reformed theology meets heavy music? We sat down with Plead the Widow's Cause — a spirit-filled post-hardcore band — to talk idolatry, Isaiah, and why one Old Testament story might just be the most metal moment in the entire Bible. In this episode of Deformed Theology (Ep. 53), Jonathan and David sit down with the full band — Ian, Bill, Brett, and Mitch — for an honest, theologically rich conversation about faith, the music they make, and what it means to stand up for those without a voice. Topics we cover: * How "spirit-filled post-hardcore" was born and who influenced it (Overcome, Unashamed, early Underoath) * The band's reformed Baptist roots — and how all four members got there from very different backgrounds * The biblical stories behind their song "Marah" — idolatry, bitter waters, and Dagon falling face down before the Ark of the Covenant * Why their band name comes from Isaiah 1:17 and what it means to be the voice for the voiceless * The rise of individualism and narcissism — and how it distorts our view of God * Updates on their new 12-song album and their upcoming set at Audio Feed Festival (July 3rd) * Mitch's one-man side project, Pipe Bomb "It's not about theological argument — it's about casting down every idol and walking under the Lordship of Christ." 🎵 Check out Plead the Widow's Cause: [link] [https://pleadthewidowscause.bandcamp.com/music]🎙️ Subscribe for new episodes every Monday at 5AM Central📖 Scripture of the episode: Isaiah 1:17 | Colossians 3
