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

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. 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

Ep. 52: The Unforgivable Sin Explained: Is Rejecting the Holy Spirit the Blasphemy?

Is there really a sin God won't forgive? In this episode, we dig into Matthew 12:22-32 — the only place Jesus explicitly talks about blasphemy against the Holy Spirit and why it's called unforgivable. We break down exactly what Jesus meant when He told the Pharisees they had committed blasphemy against the Holy Spirit — and why it's not what most people think. This isn't about a careless word or a moment of doubt. It's about something far deeper: a positional rejection of the Holy Spirit's conviction — the very means by which grace is offered. We also talk through what sparked this conversation: the viral AI-generated image of Donald Trump depicted as Jesus. Is it blasphemy? Sacrilege? We work through the definitions, the biblical context, and why the answer actually matters for how we understand holiness and reverence. In this episode: * What does "blasphemy against the Holy Spirit" actually mean? (Matthew 12:22-32) * Why did Jesus say this sin is unforgivable? * What is the Holy Spirit's role in conviction and salvation? (John 16) * How do we know if we've committed the unpardonable sin? * Is the Trump AI Jesus image blasphemy or sacrilege? If you've ever feared you've committed the unforgivable sin — this episode is for you. We walk through what Jesus actually said, what the Pharisees actually did, and why concern itself is a sign of grace at work. 📖 Scriptures: Matthew 12:22-32 · John 16 · 1 Corinthians 2 · Romans 11 · Luke 12 · Galatians 6 🎙️ Deformed Theology [deformedtheologyshow.com] — Going deeper into the Word, beyond the walls and the debates.

Ep. 51: Can a Christian 'Lose' Their Salvation? Eternal Security Examined from Scripture

Can a Christian lose their salvation — or are they eternally secure no matter what? In this engaging episode, Jonathan and David tackle one of the most debated doctrines in Christianity: eternal security and OSAS (Once Saved, Always Saved). This isn't a fight — it's a conversation. We dig into what Scripture actually says about remaining in Christ, and why contingent language throughout the Bible matters more than most Christians realize.In this episode: * What Romans 11:22-23 reveals about God's kindness and severity * Why John 15 (the Vine and branches) is key to this debate * The warning of Hebrews 10:26-31 — and who it's actually written to * The difference between stumbling in sin vs. willful, persistent rejection of grace * Can your name be erased from the Book of Life? * (Revelation 3:5) TULIP vs. FACTS — understanding both sides with humility * Why the Prodigal Son parable changes everything about Hebrews 6 Whether you hold a Calvinist or Arminian view on eternal security, this episode will challenge you to let Scripture — not tradition — shape your theology. "Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God." — Romans 11:22 Subscribe for new episodes every Monday at 5am CT. deformedtheologyshow.com [deformedtheologyshow.com]
