Author, pastor, seminary president, former Army Ranger, PhD candidate, classically trained jazz musician, gourmet chef, Nick Kennicott is a man for all seasons.

Angels & Giants- The Watchers & The Nephilim.
The late Michael Heiser and his teachings have recently come under fire by a group of folks who recently released a 2.5 hour video making erroneous assertions about him and his teachings. We gathered a high-octane panel of those most familiar with Heiser's teachings in a civil theological rebuttal to these claims.
The doctrine of baptism has been many different takes over the centuries. From the mode to the recipients to the reasons why we do it. In this show, Doug explains why he is a credobaptist, that is someone who baptizes based on a profession of faith rather than also adding the infants of believers into that mix. The previous episode on covenants serves as the starting point, so make sure you tune into that one first. Both episodes present some unique and very eye opening biblical connections and explanations that you won’t hear many other places. In fact, Doug’s argument for baptism is both ancient but also quite unique in its take and explanation. You won’t want to miss it.
Covenants and the Bible. Helping us understand the unity of the Bible and how important this is to our understanding of its message and it’s God, this show is an overview of covenant theology from Doug’s Reformed Baptist perspective. We take a look at the pre-historical covenant of redemption, the pre-fall covenant of works/life/creation, and the post fall covenants with Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Levi, and David on into the new covenant or covenant of grace that God makes with his people through Jesus.
A closer look at the design of creation. God's approach to create, give order, and fill culminates with a 7th day that in it's repose is also a coronation in the Temple that He built for Himself in the sinless version of the world.
Cosmic Mountains.....High places where mankind would attempt to meet with the gods. One day The Son of God very much stood on a an elevated place and did in fact meet with mankind. We discuss the recurring Biblical Themes of cosmic mountains.

Exploring the phenomenon that 40 and 50 something year old aficionados of all things "blurry" just so happen to be fans of guitars and rock n' roll. What are the chances? We all play guitar??? Seriously though... 4 pals in the genre...we all love good rock and roll and we all play guitar. As Clapton said..."we're gonna let it all hang out"

The Book of Revelation is one of the most mysterious, debated, controversial, and discussed pieces of literary work in the history of the world.

Derek P. Gilbert hosts the daily news analysis program Five in Ten for SkyWatchTV and co-hosts SciFriday and Unraveling Revelation with his wife, author and analyst Sharon K. Gilbert.
Derek is the author of the groundbreaking books Bad Moon Rising, on the role of Islam in the end times, The Great Inception, and Last Clash of the Titans.
He and Sharon have co-authored Giants, Gods & Dragons, a fresh take on end-times prophecy that names the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and Veneration, which exposes the influence of the pagan cult of the dead in ancient Canaan–and on Bible prophecy.
Derek also co-wrote The Day the Earth Stands Still with Josh Peck, a timely book on the modern UFO phenomenon that exposes, for the first time, the occult origins of the belief in “ancient aliens.”
His latest is The Second Coming of Saturn, a startling book that connects the Roman god Saturn, the Canaanite cult of Molech, the globalist Great Reset, and occult symbolism inside the United States Capitol.
Since 2014, the Gilberts have produced a weekly audio series of Bible studies, the Gilbert House Fellowship, available online at www.GilbertHouse.org.
Derek is a lifelong fan of the Chicago Cubs, prefers glasses to contacts, and he’s been known to sing the high part in barbershop and gospel quartets.
