Who and what is God?
This question forms the beginning of a conversation with Latter-day Saints about their belief in who they call "Heavenly Father". The conclusions found after exploring that question lead us to realize that not only are the LDS views on god irreconcilable with historic Christianity, but they also fail the basic tests of logic. Find out why in this episode of BASECAMP.

Eddie Penney spent 20 years in the United States military, serving as a Marine and a member of the Navy's most elite unit, SEAL Team 6. He battled terrorists in Afghanistan, Africa, and Iraq throughout his 7 combat deployments. His biggest battle came at home when he became a single father of three young children. He is candid about his struggles, failures, and faults in uncharacteristic honesty. Today, he is a business owner, a bestselling author, and an unapologetic Christian. He has faced death and darkness on many occasions and has found the light. His goal is to help others along that path, whether they be struggling veterans, their families, or anyone facing the challenges that life brings. Eddie is the author of UNAFRAID: Staring Down Terror as a Navy SEAL and Single Dad, architect of the UNAFRAID brand, and host of The UNAFRAID podcast and The Penney's Podcast with his wife, Amanda Penney.
In this episode, Jeremy and Eddie talk about Eddie's stories of war both overseas and at home. They speak at length about the mindset Christians must have if they are to survive the spiritual war all believers are subject to, whether they know it or not.

"What exactly are demons and where do they come from?"
This question and so many more like it are inevitable when engaging with not only worldviews and religions counter to Christianity, but also when reading the Bible itself. In this episode, Dr. Joel Muddamalle gives the Biblical background for the origin of the demonic and much of the spiritual world. Joel and Jeremy also discuss spiritual warfare and how the Bible should inform our outlook on it and the evangelism that is sure to bring it about.
