What if Jesus' warning that the last days would resemble the days of Noah meant far more than increasing violence and moral collapse?Bennett Tanton is joined by pastor, author, and The Big Picture host Larry Ragland to discuss his book The Final Flood and the supernatural interpretation of Genesis 6.They examine the Watchers, Nephilim, corruption of the human bloodline, the mysterious return of giants after the Flood, the Tower of Babel, and Larry's theory that humanity can invite spiritual beings back across boundaries that God established.From there, the conversation moves directly into the modern world: artificial intelligence, CRISPR...

Jesus called Himself “the Son of Man” more than any other title in the Gospels. But what did that title actually mean to a first-century Jewish audience? In Episode 3 of The Enoch Arc, Bennett Tanton examines the connection between Daniel 7, the Parables of 1 Enoch, and the way Jesus used the title Son of Man. The Parables describe a mysterious figure who is chosen before creation, associated with righteousness and the Messiah, seated on a throne of glory, and given authority to judge the kings of the earth. That imagery raises a major question: was Jesus using a simple expression of huma...

Two hundred Watchers descend on Mount Hermon. They swear an oath. They take human wives. They teach humanity forbidden knowledge. Their offspring become the giants remembered as the Nephilim. And according to the Book of the Watchers, what happens after those giants die may explain one of the biggest unanswered questions in the Bible: Where do demons come from? In Episode 2 of our Book of Enoch Arc, we open 1 Enoch chapters 1–36, the oldest section of the Enochic collection. We examine: • The 200 Watchers who descend on Mount Hermon • Semjaza/Shemihazah and the oath of rebellion • Azazel and the teaching of weapons, metallur...

The Book of Enoch is one of the most controversial ancient Jewish texts connected to the Bible — quoted directly in Jude, preserved for centuries in Ethiopia, and discovered among the Dead Sea Scrolls. But there is something most discussions about Enoch leave out: 1 Enoch isn't actually one book. It is five separate compositions collected under one name. And when archaeologists recovered Aramaic fragments of Enoch from the caves at Qumran, they found evidence for four of those five sections. One was missing. In Episode 1 of our four-part Book of Enoch arc, Bennett Tanton examines what 1 Enoch actually is, where it ca...

Why did God take Enoch? Genesis gives us only a few verses about one of the most mysterious men in the Bible: **“Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.”** But what does it actually mean to *walk with God* — and what was different about Enoch? In **Sunday Seeds EP 2: Walked With God**, Bennett Tanton looks at Genesis 5, Hebrews 11, Jude, Peter, and the ancient Book of Enoch tradition to separate two things that are easy to confuse: **knowing about God and actually walking with God.** Enoch lived 365 years. He walked with God for 300 of them. And when t...

Can something look holy, sound biblical, quote Scripture, and still pull someone away from Christ? In the first episode of Testing the Spirits, Bennett Tanton and Laura Baker examine what Christians often call the Spirit of Religion. Is it legalism? Pride? Control? False doctrine? Religious tradition? Spiritual deception? Or can several of these things work together? Laura shares her perspective from years of deliverance ministry and discusses how religious systems, agreements, traditions, pride, self-righteousness, and performance can distort a believer’s understanding of God. Bennett and Laura also examine an uncomfortable possibility: sometimes the person caught in religious deception sincerely be...

This may be the hardest question in the entire War Before Genesis series: If God knew Lucifer would rebel… why did He allow it? God could have created beings incapable of rebellion. He could have stopped Lucifer before the consequences spread. Yet Scripture presents a creation where genuine agency, rebellion, suffering, redemption, judgment, and restoration all become part of the story. In Episode 4, Bennett Tanton examines the biblical case for why God permitted the rebellion to continue — and why free will alone may not completely answer the question. We examine Job’s confrontation with the Accuser and the disturbing question behind...

How do we know when we're investigating a mystery — and when we're helping create one? Bennett sits down with Natalie Rose of The Midnight Cryptid Club for a wide-ranging conversation about cryptids, eyewitness testimony, folklore, internet culture, skepticism, and the strange line between biological creatures and the paranormal. Natalie approaches cryptid research differently. Rather than accepting every strange story at face value, she digs into the original reports, historical records, physical evidence, independent witnesses, and the ways stories change as they're retold. They discuss Mothman, Sasquatch, Dogman, the Van Meter Visitor, Lizard Man, the Dover Demon, the Beast of Bray Ro...

What happened between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2? Genesis begins with God creating the heavens and the earth. But the very next verse describes the earth as “formless and void” — tohu va vohu — covered in darkness. Then Isaiah 45:18 says God did not create the earth tohu. So what happened? In Episode 3 of The War Before Genesis, Bennett examines one of the most debated interpretations of the opening verses of the Bible: the Gap Theory. Could Genesis 1:1 describe an original ordered creation, followed by a catastrophic judgment connected to Lucifer’s rebellion? Could Genesis 1:3 onward describe restoration rather than creation from nothing? We examine: •...

Satan fell from heaven — so why does the Book of Job show him standing before God? In Episode 2 of The War Before Genesis, Bennett examines one of the strangest problems in the biblical timeline of Satan: Lucifer appears to have been expelled from the mountain of God, yet Job and Zechariah still portray the adversary appearing in the divine court and accusing God's people. What if Satan's fall wasn't a single event? This episode explores a two-stage framework: an original rebellion that removed the adversary from his former position, followed by the Cross and the removal of his remaining role as...

Who was Lucifer before he became the adversary? In Episode 1 of The War Before Genesis, Bennett Tanton examines Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 to reconstruct the biblical profile of the being Christians commonly call Lucifer. Before the serpent. Before Satan. Before the war in heaven. Isaiah records five extraordinary declarations: “I will ascend to heaven.” “I will raise my throne above the stars of God.” “I will sit on the mount of assembly.” “I will ascend above the heights of the clouds.” “I will make myself like the Most High.” What was he trying to accomplish? We examine the meaning of Helel ben Shachar — the Sh...

Why would Satan rebel against God if he already knew he could never win? That question opens the very first episode of Sunday Seeds, a new weekly gathering on Broadcasting Seeds centered on Scripture, prayer, teaching, and truth. This week, Bennett examines one of the oldest questions in Scripture: What was the sin behind Satan’s fall? Was it rebellion? Ambition? A desire to be worshipped? Or was something deeper already happening before any of those things appeared? Through Ezekiel 28, Isaiah 14, Luke 10, 1 Timothy 3, James 4, 1 Peter 5, Proverbs 16, and Philippians 2, we examine pride not simply as arrogance, but as the elevation of se...

A mother who says her daughter can see into the unseen world returns with an even deeper account of what they believe is happening around them. This conversation moves into some of the strangest territory we have covered on Broadcasting Seeds: demonic hierarchies, principalities, astral attacks, portals, guardian angels, generational curses, deliverance, witchcraft, spiritual attacks connected to everyday objects, and the question of whether Christians really understand the war described in Ephesians 6. The guest describes alleged encounters involving organized spiritual attacks, entities she identifies as demons, portals inside her home and battles that she believes are part of a much...

Genesis 6, the Watchers, Nephilim, UFOs, non-human intelligence, fallen angels and the possibility of a second incursion are at the center of this conversation with author Will Blesch. Will Blesch joins Bennett on Broadcasting Seeds to discuss his book In the Shadow of Goliath and an ancient supernatural worldview that may have far more to say about the modern UFO phenomenon than many realize. Will's interest in the subject began after witnessing a silent black triangular UFO as a child in Virginia. Years later, his research into the Hebrew Scriptures, Second Temple literature, the Book of Enoch, Jewish traditions and modern...

Most Christians know the stories. Adam and Eve. Noah and the Flood. Babel. Abraham. The Nephilim. David and Goliath. Jesus casting out demons. Pentecost. But what if these aren't disconnected supernatural events? In this episode of Broadcasting Seeds, Bennett Tanton follows a thread that begins in Genesis and doesn't end until Revelation: a biblical cosmic war involving rebellion, nations, spiritual powers, allegiance, territory, judgment, and reclamation. It starts with a footnote in Deuteronomy 32:8. Some biblical manuscripts read that God divided the nations according to the number of the “sons of God,” followed immediately by the declaration that Jacob would be the...

Noahide Laws, end-times prophecy, the Abraham Accords, the Third Temple, spiritual warfare, religious deception, and biblical prophecy collide in this conversation with researcher and author Laura Baker. Laura Baker returns to Broadcasting Seeds for one of our most controversial conversations yet. Laura has spent years researching the Noahide Laws and believes they connect to a much larger religious, political, and prophetic story developing around the world. In this episode, we examine where the Noahide Laws come from, their relationship to rabbinic tradition, their recognition in American political history, and why some Christians have begun paying much closer attention to them...

Frequency medicine, the Multi-Wave Oscillator, George Lakhovsky, Royal Raymond Rife, Wilhelm Reich, the AMA, and the strange history of unconventional medical research. Philip Milburn returns to Broadcasting Seeds to examine technologies and researchers that challenged accepted ideas about medicine during the twentieth century. Philip traces the history of George Lakhovsky and the Multi-Wave Oscillator, a device built around Lakhovsky's theories concerning electromagnetic frequencies, cellular activity, and disease. We follow Lakhovsky from his early experiments in Europe through his work in Parisian hospitals, his escape from Europe during World War II, and the continuation of his research in the United States...

Christian entertainment, media addiction, idolatry, spiritual warfare, dopamine, social media, movies, gaming, sports and the battle for our attention — this interview went somewhere I did not expect. I want to admit something right up front: this conversation did not go the way I thought it was going to go. I invited author Keith A. Robinson onto Broadcasting Seeds primarily to talk about his work in apologetics fiction — using science fiction and adventure stories to explore Christianity, creation, evolution, world religions and the defense of the Christian faith. Then Keith brought up the book he wrote with his wife April, Entertainment Junk...

Dogman, UFOs, ghosts, cryptids, spiritual attacks and unexplained encounters — Tommy Cullen of the Let’s Get Freaky Podcast joins Broadcasting Seeds for a conversation about what may be hiding behind the paranormal. Tommy has spent hundreds of episodes listening to ordinary people describe experiences they often cannot explain. But his interest in the supernatural started long before the podcast. As a child, Tommy says he saw a solid-looking man sitting in the corner of his bedroom in a house his family believed was haunted. Years later, he and his brother witnessed a bizarre orange-and-silver object hovering in the sky — an event...

Demons, angels, spiritual warfare, Reiki, New Age practices, deliverance, and beings that seem to cross the line between the paranormal and spiritual — An Nguyen says her family has experienced all of it. An joins Broadcasting Seeds to share the extraordinary story of her daughter, who she says has been seeing supernatural beings with her physical eyes since childhood. Anne describes encounters her daughter reported with mantis-like beings, a humanoid monkey figure carrying a sword, a being made of rock, fairies, shadow figures, demons, angels, and other entities seemingly existing beyond our normal perception. An initially interpreted many of these experiences th...
