    CR65-Don’t Put Words in God’s Mouth- The Battle of Exegesis vs. Eisegesis
    May 22 2026

    CR65-Don’t Put Words in God’s Mouth: The Battle of Exegesis vs. Eisegesis The episode dives into the critical distinction between exegesis and eisegesis, emphasizing the importance of context in biblical interpretation. Imagery of a coffee shop sets the stage for discussing how context shapes understanding. The host defines exegesis as leading out the meaning from the text, contrasting it with eisegesis, which imposes personal desires onto scripture. The conversation highlights the dangers of eisegesis, noting its popularity due to its ease and the temptation to make oneself the hero of biblical narratives. Practical examples illustrate the focus on God's glory rather than personal empowerment.

  • CR64-Aliens, Angels, or Deception? A Biblical Lens on the UAP Obsession

    CR64-Aliens, Angels, or Deception? A Biblical Lens on the UAP Obsession
    May 8 2026
    Today we’re discussing a topic that’s everywhere right now—UAPs, so-called “alien” encounters, and the growing cultural confidence that we’re on the verge of discovering intelligent life beyond Earth. We will walk through a biblical perspective on the modern “alien” obsession. I’ll lay out three big ideas. First, the Bible’s unique focus on Earth and humanity. Second, why many “alien encounter” reports sound less like spacemen and more like spiritual deception. And third, the sobering biblical theme of delusion—how rejecting God’s truth makes people easy targets for believing almost anything.
