Season 3, Episode 7 In this episode, Michael and Zach conclude the Cosmic Vocabulary mini-series by examining the Bible’s language for demons and tracing the giant-clan storyline from the Nephilim of Genesis 6 to Goliath and the giants of Gath. The discussion looks at New Testament terms such as daimonion and “unclean spirit,” Old Testament references to shedim and se'irim, and the influential Second Temple Jewish tradition that identified demons as the disembodied spirits of the dead giants. M

Season 3, Episode 6 In this episode, Michael and Zach continue their series through Galatians by examining Paul’s movement from slavery to sonship in Galatians 4:1–11. Paul describes God’s people under the Law as heirs who, while still under guardianship, function much like servants awaiting the time appointed by the Father. But when the fullness of time came, God sent His Son to redeem those under the Law and bring them into His family through adoption. The discussion explores what Paul means

Season 3, Episode 5 In this episode, Michael and Zach continue their “Cosmic Vocabulary” mini-series by moving from individual spiritual beings to the structure of the unseen realm. They explore biblical terms such as “sons of God,” “host of heaven,” “holy ones,” and elohim, showing how Scripture uses several overlapping categories for members of God’s heavenly court.

Instead, the Law served a temporary purpose because of sin—revealing transgression, guarding Israel, and preparing the w

Season 3, Episode 3 In this episode, Michael and Zach begin a three-part “Cosmic Vocabulary” mini-series by building a clearer biblical glossary for the unseen realm. They start with the word “angel,” explaining that the Hebrew mal’ak and Greek angelos describe a messenger role rather than a distinct species of spiritual being. From there, they explore cherubim and seraphim, showing how Scripture presents them as distinct throne-room beings associated with guarding God’s presence, worship, and

Season 3, Episode 2 In this episode, Michael and Zach continue their series through Galatians by examining Paul’s forceful argument in Galatians 3:1–14. Paul begins by asking the Galatians a series of pointed questions: if they received the Spirit through faith, why would they now turn to works of the Law to complete what God began? From there, the discussion moves to Abraham, who was counted righteous by faith centuries before the Mosaic Law, showing that justification by faith is not a New Te
