⁣
Nephilim were the offspring of fallen angels and human women in the ancient world, but one burning question remains: do the Nephilim still walk among us today? This is perhaps the most interesting question posed in this special 800th episode and second installment of a conversation with Phil Hotsenpiller, an author and the senior pastor of Influence Church. Phil discusses the historical impact of the Book of Enoch, why it’s not in the Bible, and how we can learn from the historical context of the time to understand the ancient origins of the Nephilim, as well as how the book of Genesis intrinsically connects to the prophecies in Jude, Daniel, and Revelation. This fascinating discussion lends tremendous insight into a topic that’s rarely - if ever - discussed in church.

TAKEAWAYS
The Nephilim could indeed be among us today
The Biblical book of Jude actually quotes the historical text, the Book of Enoch
Enoch was a prophet who foresaw some kind of judgment coming, which may have been the End Times
AS and LIKE are two important words in the Bible signaling that God is giving humans an analogy to explain a complex idea

Why did Satan fall from heaven to Earth? Why does he so vehemently hate mankind? The answers are all available in the Word of God. Phil Hotsenpiller is the co-founder and senior pastor of Influence Church in Anaheim Hills, California, and he has written articles for many high-profile publications. He is passionate and extremely knowledgeable about explaining the fall of Lucifer and his hatred for Adam and his offspring. He discusses in detail the origins of Lucifer’s discontent and iniquity, and whether Adam’s dominion over the Earth intersected with his own domain. Phil also breaks down passages from Isaiah and Genesis that give more explanation on why Lucifer fell from heaven, and teaches about the giants the Israelites found in The Promised Land.

TAKEAWAYS
Genesis 1:27 tells us that God created Man in His own image
Man’s special image is very different from the angels, who cannot be redeemed from sin like humans
Phil suggests that Satan’s fall took place before the creation of Adam and before falling to Earth, Lucifer was sinless and perfect
Once an angel falls, it becomes a demonic spirit

There’s a good chance you’ve heard the story of Noah’s Ark at church or Sunday School. However, you’ve probably never heard about the Nephilim and how they contributed to the chaos of the pre-flood civilization and reasoning behind the worldwide flood. This is the burning topic addressed by Ryan Pitterson, a former corporate attorney and CEO of Days of Noe Publishing, who has authored two books about the Nephilim - the offspring of fallen angels and humans - Judgment of the Nephilim and The Final Nephilim. Ryan discusses how Genesis 6 is the keystone for understanding End Times Prophecy, and how today’s society is a perfect replica “as in the days of Noah.” He also explains Satan’s various tactics used to corrupt the human gene pool through the Nephilim.

TAKEAWAYS
Nephilim were half-angel, half-human hybrids that existed before and after the worldwide flood
Read Genesis 3:15 and Genesis 6 to learn more about the beginning of the Nephilim’s story
The Devil’s mission has always been to prevent the birth of the foretold Savior
The Bible says that as it was in the days of Noah, so it shall be in the days of the coming of the Son of Man

Have you ever seen something strange or mysterious that makes you stop and consider the possibility of supernatural influence? Whether it’s stories about Bigfoot or legends of giants in the Middle East, these mysterious topics drive the conversation on the popular Blurry Creatures podcast. Luke Rodgers is a co-host of this fascinating show, and discusses the mystery of the Nephilim and the legends of giants that have been witnessed around the world, from the Louisiana Bayou to the caves of Afghanistan. Why doesn’t the Christian church talk about the hot topic of the Nephilim and their influence on the ancient world? Get your questions answered surrounding the supernatural world long forgotten by modern society.

TAKEAWAYS
Most western churches function like corporations, and they are often divorced from conversations about anything supernatural
The global flood and Joshua’s conquest make a lot more sense with the proper historical context regarding the Nephilim
The Book of Enoch is not considered Biblically canonical, but it is a worthwhile historical text that’s referred to in the Bible
Ancient legends of demigod heroes like Hercules likely stemmed from stories of Nephilim

You wouldn’t think praying in front of an abortion clinic would be a problem in America, but for David Allen, it’s been a nightmare. He has faithfully prayed for the redemption and closure of a massive abortion facility in Houston, Texas, for many years. David is the interim pastor of The Memorials Church, and he shares about his struggles in the city as he envisions a future where a massive abortion operation could be transformed into a beautiful garden dedicated to remembering lives lost through abortion and bringing healing for those parents who chose abortion. He discusses the horrors of abortion, the sale of baby body parts, and chilling allegations of potential child sex slavery happening in Houston. David also talks about another ministry he envisions, the Flying Cross Ranch, which would minister to children suffering from past trauma and need a place to find hope and healing.

TAKEAWAYS
David has been involved in several jury trials in the Houston area
David says Houston is a hub of child sex trafficking in the United States
David has been accused of trespassing amid his work to minister to the abortion facility and its workers
David’s book, Horn of Samuel: Heaven’s Trumpet Call of Liberty to Those Hurt by Abortion, tells his redemptive story in great detail

Camille Cates chose to give her baby life at age 16, but shortly after becoming pregnant again several months later, she chose to have an abortion - but the trauma leading up to that day was the driving force behind that decision. Camille - a Biblical counselor - chose to have an abortion after her firstborn daughter was murdered by her boyfriend. It’s a grief she deals with each and every day, but now, Camille shares about the healing mercy, grace, and peace of the cross. She discusses how we can tenderly and lovingly minister to women who have endured the trauma of abortion, usually for reasons beyond their control. The only way out is through God’s word. Camille also talks about the adoption option that she wishes she would have made for both of her children.

TAKEAWAYS
Adoption must be destigmatized, because it would lead to many more live births rather than the death through abortion
Grieving an aborted baby gives that child back his or her personhood
Camille has incredibly forgiven her daughter’s murderer and prays for him to come to the life-saving knowledge of Jesus Christ
The abortion pill has horrifically allowed women to become their own doctors and “conveniently” abort their precious babies at home

At just 16 years old, Camille Cates found herself pregnant and pressured to have an abortion by her mother - but she chose life, graduated from high school, and enrolled in college just two weeks after her child Lauren was born. Camille’s story doesn’t end there. Shortly after, she did have an abortion, but talks about these two radically different experiences through the lens of the mercy and grace of God. Camille is now a Biblical counselor and the author of Moving Forward After Abortion: Finding Comfort in God. She discusses the very real challenges women face before, during, and after having an abortion, and highlights the important role men play in a woman’s pregnancy. The key to recovering after an abortion experience? Going to God and trusting in His grace and mercy.

TAKEAWAYS
Culture tells us that abortion is a woman’s issue, but it is a man’s issue, as well
Call out to God when you are in distress - He is loving and He will hear you
Fear of the unknown is often the biggest reason why women have abortions
Sometimes all it takes is one person reaching out to a hurting or fearful individual to help them make the right decision

Abby Johnson worked for eight years at Planned Parenthood and even utilized her Christian faith to defend the practice of ending the lives of unborn babies. However, all that changed the day she was asked to assist in the abortion of a 13-week-old baby who fought for his life against the deadly abortionist’s instruments. Today, she is the CEO and founder of ProLove Ministries, where she helps abortion workers quit their jobs and find a new plan and purpose for their lives. Abby is the bestselling author of Unplanned, which was also made into a powerful feature film. This pro-life advocate talks about how she initially got involved in Planned Parenthood when she was a college student, how she escaped the deceptive industry, and what initially drove her to speak out about the evils of the abortion machine.

TAKEAWAYS
Abby’s newest board book is called What’s In Mommy’s Tummy
Abby and her team assist women who are considering abortion by helping them go to school, receive financial coaching, and more
Planned Parenthood initially sued Abby to keep her from talking about what she saw behind closed doors

Being humble in a world obsessed with self-worship may not be the easiest thing to do, but it’s a great way to be more Christlike and exemplify the message of the Gospel! This is a subject Mike Austin knows well. He’s a philosophy professor at Eastern Kentucky University and the author of Humility: Rediscovering the Way of Love and Life in Christ. He discusses the link between humility and love, and how humble curiosity can help engage people in conversations about the Gospel rather than turn them off to it. American culture focuses on hyper-individualism: me, me, me! But God’s Word encourages Christians to focus on others rather than themselves. Focusing on fostering humility within your own home is the best way to help your kids embrace a humble lifestyle as they grow with God.

TAKEAWAYS
Limiting social media and screen time for kids will protect them from digital self-absorption
If you have a spouse whom you’d like to see act humbly, remember this: be humble yourself
You have to be a role model in humility for your children if you want them to emulate that behavior
As you grow in humility, you will inevitably begin to see more of your own flaws

Humility is not a form of weakness or passivity, says Dennis Edwards, but instead it’s an approach to life in which we strive to be more like Jesus. Dennis is the dean of North Park Seminary and the author of Humility Illuminated: The Biblical Path Back to Christian Character. He discusses how humility is generally not pursued by Christians and how few people truly understand it. How can we cultivate a lifestyle that centers on humility and exercise it at the appropriate times? In a modern culture that tends to be so self-centered, we’ve lost our bent toward being humble and adopted so many of the problems of the rest of society. Humility may feel old or outdated, but it’s desperately needed! Humility challenges us to put others first, strive to be more like Christ, and speak appropriately, rather than out of a self-defense mechanism.

TAKEAWAYS
Humility puts us in a position where we are paying attention to what’s going on around us
Humility should not be self-deprecating or self-loathing
Society elevates self-worship and seems to minimize the importance of humility
Humility feels strange to modern culture, but it was part of the First Century Christian witness that we need to reinstate

Nobody thinks they need humility, but it may be the one thing people need the most! In fact, humility is the premier Biblical virtue from which all other virtues proceed. Therefore, cultivating a sense of humility is incredibly important for the Christian. William Farley is a retired pastor and the author of Gospel Powered Humility. He explains how everything God does in our lives is to humble us. He also talks about how if Christians fail to grow in humility, they should take a second look at their walk with the Lord. Everything we do proceeds from our sense of humility, whether we are parenting, working, or cultivating relationships with those around us. Arrogance lurks behind every act of disobedience, but humility is the driving force behind obedience, William says. Humility is the least-emphasized virtue in the church, but it may be the most important.

TAKEAWAYS
The most important thing you can do to demonstrate humility for your kids is to love your spouse and demonstrate humility for them
Humility is necessary for both conversation and sanctification
Reaching toward humility is when we try to see ourselves as God sees us
Nobody thinks they need humility, but we all do and many of us think we are humble, when we are not

Why do men have difficulty being transparent and sharing vulnerable details about their lives? According to Richard Simmons, it comes down to problems associated with pride, which drives men to worry about being seen as a failure by those around them. Richard is a bestselling author and the founder of The Center for Executive Leadership. He has written and spoken extensively on the critical topic of pride and how it intersects primarily with the male psyche. He explains why men especially struggle with pride and humility, and how pride is, quite literally, the driving force behind so many of humanity’s problems, from wars to parenting struggles. Pride and unhealthy comparison are deadly, and make people unhappy. He encourages us to live a humble life.

TAKEAWAYS
Men particularly base their identities on how well they perform in the workplace
Parents put a lot of pressure on their children to succeed in life, most likely because it makes them look good
When you compare yourself to others, it can make you sad and discontent with your own life
Pride is truly the chief cause of misery in this world

Dr. Katariina Rosenblatt was just 13 years old when she was recruited into a human trafficking ring by someone she believed was her friend. That horrifying experience led to years of human trafficking, abuse, trauma, and almost death multiple times that changed her life forever. Would she ever escape? By God’s grace, Katariina did indeed escape that abuse. Now, she is the executive director of There Is Hope For Me, where she helps other survivors of human trafficking find justice and healing. She also wrote the books Stolen: The True Story of a Sex Trafficking Survivor and Trafficking in America. Katariina shares stories of helping other children escape harrowing handlers by working with the FBI, and she also identifies exactly how these predators prey on kids and recruit them from inside the perceived safety of school.

TAKEAWAYS
The most common way traffickers recruit children is through social media and the second most common is peer-to-peer recruitment
Traffickers often train captured children to recruit other kids on campus
Predators may even wait outside gas stations or restaurants near school campus to attempt to lure children
Don’t forget to pray for kids’ protection - this is a spiritual battle between good and evil

Kids are being exposed to sexual material at younger and younger ages, but there is no benefit to normalizing sexual behavior for children, despite what secular sex-ed advocates may claim. Adrianne Simeone is a child sexual abuse survivor and the founder and director of The Mama Bear Effect. She is passionate about equipping parents to educate their children about the importance of advocating for their privacy and bodily autonomy. Parental education on this issue is essential for preventing child sex abuse, and it’s important to remember that sex abuse is often perpetrated by someone the child knows and trusts. Parents are the primary protectors of their kids, so stay vigilant and know that abuse is real, it’s common, and it’s up to you to draw safe boundaries for your children.

TAKEAWAYS
Children who are abused are almost always abused by someone at home or in the home of someone they trust
People who engage in sexual abuse often compartmentalize their own behavior and split their personalities between two sides of their life
Cultivating a strong parent-child relationship is key in helping kids avoid sex abuse
You must speak up about abuse when you see it so that you can save future potential victims from suffering

With 35 years of experience working with kids, Dr. Beth Robinson knows better than anyone how quickly and deceptively a predator can perpetrate abuse. Beth is a professor of counseling at Colorado Christian University and the author of Protecting Your Child From Predators: How To Recognize and Respond to Sexual Danger.

Sometimes, abuse can take on the most deceptive forms - even love. This is a difficult reality Michelle Denault had to deal with after realizing that a years-long relationship she’d had with a teacher who was 25 years older than her, was not love but grooming and abuse. She didn’t realize it was abuse until two decades after she left him at the age of 24, because she wanted to have a family. Today she dedicates her life to ensuring students are educated about the dangers and red flags of potential grooming and abuse from those in positions of authority through her ministry Voices Carry. She is also a speaker for Safe and Sound Schools, and her “Grooming 101” program has been instituted in over 100 schools nationwide. She’s currently suing the school which was fully aware a male teacher was grooming and abusing female students and even gave him a pension.

TAKEAWAYS
Typical grooming models center on fear, but sometimes they are disguised as very loving relationships
When predators move from school to school, Michelle refers to it as “passing the trash”
Kids have a normal desire for love and a natural curiosity that can be exploited by predators
Abuse can happen to anyone, so stay vigilant and remain connected with your kids and teach them to protect their body boundaries

Satan has disguised himself as an angel of light, so it makes sense that the deception he wages against humankind appears plausible and even attractive. Julius Agbor is an author, professor, economist, and pastor who offers outstanding insight into the nature of Satan’s most enticing deceptions. He is the author of Before the Rapture: The 7 Forms of Deception Each Christian Must Overcome. He says Jesus is coming back soon, and it will be sudden, dramatic, and unannounced. He discusses the seven deceptions Christians will encounter when it comes to discussions surrounding the impending rapture before Christ’s Second Coming. He also explains the difference between the Gospel of Christ and the Gospel of the Kingdom from scripture.

TAKEAWAYS
Some red flags associated with false teaching include a promotion of immorality and heretical doctrine
Deception has to be very close to the source for it be believable, so it can be hard to decipher
Idolatry, overconfidence, disloyalty, and pride are four of the seven deceptions Julius discusses in his book
One out of every eight New Testament Scriptures refers to the Second Coming of Christ

Would you give up everything you have in pursuit of a lie disguised as a truth? This question may seem simple, but masterful manipulation and deception can fool anybody. This is a harsh lesson Athena Dean Holtz learned after being deceived for 13 years by a false teacher who convinced her to leave her husband, her children, and even her thriving publishing business under the guise of biblical teaching. She was exposed to extreme spiritual abuse due to unprocessed trauma in her life, but when she broke free, she founded Redemption Press, where she now helps other women tell their redemption stories by providing teaching, coaching, publishing services, and more. Athena discusses how she was deceived, how she escaped such deception, and what red flags alerted her to the awful truth about what was really happening.

TAKEAWAYS
Athena knows what it’s like to feel like Job and literally lose everything
She believed she was following God’s will when she left her husband and children, but she was being deceived by false teaching
Athena identified Timothy Williams as the false teacher who massively destroyed her life and his church was ironically called ‘Sound Doctrine’
Sometimes, unprocessed trauma can make you vulnerable to being deceived

Put down the mirror of self-esteem and embrace a healthy dose of self-respect, says Jill Garner, founder of Manners of the Heart. Jill was trained to be an interior designer, but God had other plans. A volunteer project designed to help children learn manners, self-respect, and civility became - her lifelong ministry and labor of love - to educate the hearts of children. Jill discusses the difference between humanistic self-esteem and godly self-respect. How can we teach our children to serve others rather than constantly looking to love themselves or worship their own emotional desires? The sin of pride is very dangerous, and Satan has found a way to reframe it in our society to make it look “pretty”, but it is damaging nonetheless, and its self-serving doctrine infects many modern teachings of Christianity.

TAKEAWAYS
Humanism is completely counter to Christianity, and yet it’s been grafted into many modern Christian teachings
Our education system is filled with humanism
Christian life is about serving others
Fill your kids’ hearts with truth so that their minds open to see the world through a Biblical lens as Christ intended

If we want to defeat our enemy, we need to know our enemy’s moves, says Phil Hopper, a former SWAT cop now serving as the pastor of Abundant Life Church. Phil is also the author of Defeating the Enemy: Exposing and Overcoming the Strategies of Satan. With a background in law enforcement and street-smart survival tactics, Phil is well-equipped to take the spiritual battle against Satan head-on. He thrives on discussing the spiritual “bullets” Christians should be prepared to face in life. Why are so many believers living in mediocrity and depression? They are believing Satan’s lies. Why do they believe these lies? Chiefly because of biblical illiteracy, says Phil. Do not be ignorant of your adversary. Educate yourself by reading the Bible and understanding how the enemy works and learn how to protect yourself against the schemes of the Devil.

TAKEAWAYS
Humans are the only creatures created by God in His image and likeness
Satan was not created in the image of God, nor is he Jesus’s “spirit brother,” as the Mormons teach
Satan understood that to seal man’s spiritual fate, he needed to get them to sin
Jesus’s sacrifice on the cross redeems man from sin and brings him back into a relationship with God, thwarting Satan’s plans
