The Remnant Radio's Podcast

Python, Leviathan, Rahab, the Greek sea god Triton, and even a squid. Jennifer LeClaire’s The Spiritual Warrior’s Guide to Defeating Water Spirits names them all as marine demons working near bodies of water. What does Scripture actually say about these figures?

ABOUT THIS EPISODE
At The Remnant Radio, Josh, Michael, and Michael take the demonic seriously. We pray for people and cast out demons, and we do it biblically. That’s why sensational spiritual warfare teaching bothers us. People end up more afraid of the enemy than confident in Christ.

In this live review, we take LeClaire’s water spirits book back to Scripture and weigh its claims against the text. Bring your questions to the chat as we talk through how to tell sound teaching on the demonic from hype, and what deliverance ministry looks like when it starts with the text rather than the thrill.

Is Babylon the Great a place you can find on a map? Rome? Jerusalem? A rebuilt city in modern Iraq? Plenty of people would put their money on America.

ABOUT THE EPISODE:
Josh sits down with Michael Rowntree to trace Babylon through the whole Bible. The trail runs from Cain’s first city and the Tower of Babel, through Nebuchadnezzar’s empire in Daniel, to the woman riding the scarlet beast in Revelation 17. Michael’s new book, The World Made Right, is out now, and this conversation draws on the final section, which he calls a tale of two cities.

Josh and Michael investigate: Why does she fall four separate times between Revelation 14 and 18? And why would the beast turn and devour the woman riding on its back (Revelation 17:16)? Josh presses Michael on both. He also asks about the clues that keep pulling readers in different directions: Jeremiah’s prophecy that ancient Babylon would never rise again (Jeremiah 51:26), and Peter’s greeting from “she who is at Babylon” (1 Peter 5:13).

Michael brings in Greg Beale, G.B. Caird, Sam Storms, Craig Keener and Richard Bauckham along the way. They also bring the conversation closer to home: the economic collapse in Revelation 18, whether the seven mountains of Revelation 17:9 have anything to do with the seven mountain mandate, and what it means today to hear “Come out of her, my people” (Revelation 18:4).

Join us for a deep theological discussion on the fall of Babylon.

Shawn Ryan turned to psychedelics to quiet what the war left behind. He came back from his last trip, on his own account, describing hell, then months of spiritual oppression and exorcism prayers from two priests.

ABOUT THE EPISODE:
For years the former Navy SEAL, CIA contractor, and host of one of the most-watched podcasts in the U.S., told his audience that psychedelic therapy helped him with PTSD and addiction. His most recent experience changed his mind. He describes months of nightmares, unexplained disturbances, and a series of exorcism prayers that still hasn’t settled the matter.

Josh and Michael will review his story, the treatment of PTSD with psychedelics and more.

Joshua Lewis and Michael Rowntree reach the sixth bowl in their walk through Revelation, and with it the only verse in the Bible that names Armageddon (Revelation 16:16). Michael doesn’t think it describes a war between nations at Megiddo. Josh pushes back with Ezekiel 38–39, Joel 3, and Zechariah 14, and the two of them dive deep in back-and-forth dialogue.

IN THIS EPISODE:
- Why John calls it a mountain when Megiddo is flat
- What the Old Testament prophets saw, and what they couldn’t have known yet
- How “make war” gets used everywhere else in Revelation
- Who Jesus says will be safe when it comes (Revelation 16:15)

Join us for an interesting conversation exploring the Scriptures on the end times and Armageddon.

Jesus crossed the Sea of Galilee, freed one man from a legion of demons, then sailed straight back (Mark 5:1-21). Why that shore?

Scott of BLK SHP Bible Talk suggests an answer, and it starts fourteen centuries earlier with Joshua. God told Joshua the conquest of Canaan wasn’t finished and said, “I myself will drive them out” (Joshua 13:6). Scott’s argument is that Jesus took that personally. Follow where he casts out demons, he says, and you’re tracing the ground Israel never cleared.

IN THIS EPISODE:
-What God says to Joshua about the unfinished conquest, and why Scott hears a promise in it
-Why “Galilee of the nations” (Isaiah 9:1) carries more weight in a Deuteronomy 32 worldview
-Capernaum, the far side of the lake, and the road toward Sidon: three exorcisms and what Scott sees connecting them
-Giants, Nephilim, and Scott’s view of where some demons come from
-The strong man of Matthew 12:29, and how Scott’s reading differs from the way John Wimber preached it
-Josh’s question: pattern or coincidence?
