  • DOUG VAN DORN-Waters of Creation: A Biblical-Theological Study of Baptism
    May 7 2026

    In this series, we are diving into Doug’s books, explaining why I wrote them, why you should read them, and going through what they are about. In this episode, we look at Doug’s very first book: Waters of Creation. Doug unpacks the heart and soul of the book and reveals baptism as an ancient temple rite. From the glassy sea in Revelation to the Tabernacle laver, from creation’s waters to Jesus’ own baptism at age 30, discover how Jesus fulfilled the Levitical ordination ceremony (Exodus 29) and how every believer is now commissioned as a priest in God’s living temple. This is not another debate about mode or recipients. It’s a fresh, biblical-theological vision of baptism that makes sense of the whole Bible — and changes how you live every day. If you’re looking for depth, beauty, and ancient truth for a new generation, this episode is for you.

  • Doug Van Dorn- Razing Hair: A Sarcastic Reimagining of 1 Corinthians 11:2-16
    Apr 30 2026

    For over twenty years, I have avoided preaching 1 Corinthians—its conundrums, factionalism, and bizarre debates made it feel inexplicable. Then a single verse in Acts (18:18) began to change all that: Paul cuts his hair right after leaving Corinth, where he had worn it long during his entire ministry there. This glaring contradiction with 1 Cor 11:14 (“long hair… a disgrace”) cracked open the passage.

    In Razing Hair, I argues that Paul is not delivering transcendent rules about head coverings, hair length, or gender hierarchy. Those are issues of "disputable matters" and Christian liberty. He is being sarcastic—mocking the Corinthians’ obsession with outward appearances, cultural propriety, and contentious debates while their church is imploding morally. Only the core theological affirmations (Christ as head, mutual interdependence, God as ultimate covering) are spoken straight-faced; the rest skewers the vanity of these Christians with biting irony.

  • Doug Van Dorn- The Battle for the Bible’s Truth: Genesis 6, Jesus, and the Second Century Plot to Deny the Messiah
    Apr 23 2026

    In this series, we are diving into Doug’s books, explaining why I wrote them, why you should read them, and going through what they are about. In this first episode of the series, we look at Doug’s newest book: The Battle for the Bible’s Truth. It exposes a Second Century plot by the Jewish rabbis and leadership to tamper with their own traditions, stories, interpretations, and texts because of Jesus’ claim to be the divine Messiah–the Son of God. This is a very important historical uncovering that shines the light not only on where interpretations such as the sons of God in Genesis 6 are Sethites comes from, but why it so very much matters to the person and work of Jesus Christ. At stake, ultimately speaking, is nothing short of his own Divinity.

  • Doug Van Dorn- Brian Godawa Book Interview "Daniel- Exile in Babylon"
    Mar 21 2026

    You know the biblical story of Daniel. But you’ve never experienced it like this.

    A breathtaking supernatural epic adventure of one of the most beloved heroes of the faith—retold with biblical and historical fidelity.

    Daniel is young, sharp, full of faith, and newly captive to King Nebuchadnezzar.

    But Babylon doesn’t want Daniel’s life—it wants his allegiance.

    In the House of the Tablet, he’s trained to speak the empire’s language and learn its “wisdom,” along with fellow captive Jews, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.

    As long as they don’t notice the surrender happening one small choice at a time.

    But the pressure isn’t only from priests and officials. The high priest’s son and his bully gang make Daniel a target, daring him to break and be made a eunuch.

    Far away in Jerusalem, Ariela, the young girl Daniel loves, is fighting her own dangerous battle—as a secret messenger for Jeremiah the prophet.

    Will she ever see her Daniel again? Will Jeremiah’s predictions of destruction be her own?

    Above it all, another conflict rages: archangels move in secret, Watchers masquerade as gods of Babylon, Persia, and Greece, while Yahweh remains sovereign over kingdoms that think they rule the world.

    Written by respected Christian author and best-seller Brian Godawa, this series is perfect for readers of C.S. Lewis, Tolkien, Narnia, Lord of the Rings, Ted Dekker, and Frank Peretti.

    This novel is the first book of the Daniel Trilogy.
