    FBR Episode 50: Evil Angels – Rulers, Powers, and False Gods
    Jun 23 2025
    Evil Angels (or Fallen Angels) influence our lives and the world around us. They wage an unseen war with the Holy Angels of God in the unseen realm. The evil angels oppose the will and plan of God, while the Holy Angles fight to carry out His will and minister to us. But we are not just bystanders in this conflict. Our prayers and obedience empower the Holy Angels, while our pride, false worship, and indifference can shift the battle in the favor of the evil angels. We’ll discuss these topics (along with discovering the TRUE identity of the entity worshiped by Islamics as “Allah”) in this week’s podcast.

    FBR Podcast #49 Fallen Angels and Demons
    Jun 20 2025
    What are Demons and Fallen Angels? Are they two terms for the same spiritual entities, or are they distinct creatures, differing greatly in power, position, and origin? The Bible makes it clear that demons and fallen angels are NOT the same. But what are they, and how do they interact with Satan? I discuss this in this week’s podcast:

  • FBR Episode 48: Satan - The god of Death

    FBR Episode 48: Satan - The god of Death
    Jun 18 2025
    Satan is the god of Death. Part of the curse God pronounced on Satan in Genesis 3 was that “dust would be his food”. We know from earlier in that passage, that “dust” denoted the physical death of men. Thus Satan was cursed to desire and “hunger” for man’s death, while ALSO desiring man’s worship! This contradiction in desire resulted in Satan’s insanely twisted love/hate relationship with humanity. He is the god of Death because he wants to destroy us, but since he wants to be like God, he covets our worship and devotion. It also helps explain his post-fall personality and characteristics. We will explore what all that means in this week’s podcast.

    FBR Podcast 47: What Was Satan Like Before the Fall?
    Jun 16 2025
    What was Satan like before he fell from grace? Of course, we currently know him as the Enemy and the adversary of God’s plan, but was he created that way? It would be illogical and contradictory for God to create someone to thwart him, and the Bible makes it clear that Satan was originally a good Angel who bore the title of “Lucifer” – the light bearer. But what was Lucifer like? And why did he abandon his angelic station to become the evil entity we call Satan? We’ll examine these questions in this week’s podcast.

    FBR Podcsat 46: Is Satan Real? Spiritual Warfare Part 1
    Jun 13 2025
    Is Satan Real?

    This is actually a pertinent question in Christian philosophy because it remains somewhat controversial. The secular world believes the idea of “Satan” constitutes a fake “boogeyman” that Christians made up to excuse their bad behavior and account for the existence of pain and conflict in their theology. Even some Christian theologians dismiss the idea of a personal “Devil”, seeing Satan as more of a general description of evil. But the Bible makes it clear that there is a sentient, intelligent, and malevolent being in the world, who, along with similar sinister entities, desire our destruction. In order to overcome them, we need to know who they are and how they operate.

    This podcast begins our series on spiritual warfare, which has proven to be the most popular subject matter on the Faith By Reason website.

  • FBR Podcast 45: Pharoah’s Hardened Heart, and the “gods” of Egypt

    FBR Podcast 45: Pharoah’s Hardened Heart, and the “gods” of Egypt
    Jun 11 2025
    Pharoah’s heart was hardened by God so the He could perform the signs and wonders of the 10 Plagues on the Egyptians. On the surface, this seems unfair. Did God take away Pharaoh’s free will so that he would be defiant, allowing God to visit more suffering on the Egyptians? This can’t be true, because we know that God is always and completely right and just. So what’s the answer?

    The truth is that God did not initiate Pharaoh’s hardened heart. It was a justified REACTION to what Pharoah did to the Israelites!

    Also, why did God choose those specific 10 plagues? Were they just random ordeals to torment the Egyptians, or were they intentional? The answer comes from understanding and accepting the supernatural worldview. We explore these ideas in this week’s podcast.

  • FBR Episode 44 - The Patriarchs, The Promise, and God’s Nation

    FBR Episode 44 - The Patriarchs, The Promise, and God’s Nation
    May 19 2025
    The Patriarchs – Abraham, Issac, and Jacob, received the blessing and mandate from God that would frame the 4th Dispensation. With the world now divided into nations after Babel, God created His own nation (Israel) through which the world would interact with Him and His plan. If the nations blessed Israel, they would be blessed.

    This would hopefully lead them to chose to accept the plan of the God who blessed them. But if they cursed Israel, they nations would be cursed and the Dispensation would fail. In this week’s podcast, we will examine the Promise/Covenant God gave the forefathers of Israel and also look at the history of the Patriarchs from Abraham to Joseph (which reads like a soap opera…or reality TV), concluding with the Exodus from Egypt.

  • FBR Podcast 43 - Your Greatness, and Why Government Tries to Suppress It

    FBR Podcast 43 - Your Greatness, and Why Government Tries to Suppress It
    May 16 2025
    Your greatness is a HUGE threat to human governments! So much so that governments are designed to suppress it. Greatness comes from uniqueness, and when you operate in your uniqueness, you have the capacity to be great! And since we are ALL unique, we can all be great! The problem is that by its nature, the human government can only function if greatness (including your greatness) is limited to the rulers. So the Mystics do everything in their power to homogenize us (make us all think and act the same), in order to curtail our individual uniqueness.

    The Mystics of Force (rulers) do it through laws. The Mystics of Spirit (social engineers) do it by using our tendency for comparative thinking (pride) to get is to homogenize ourselves! They convince us that uniqueness is unfair! And since we tend to fear that another’s greatness might be more valuable than our own, we do their job for them by peer pressuring others to behave and think in an “acceptable” way!

    The mystics use (or misuse) reactionary terms like Equality, Social Justice, Patriotism, Race, Gender Equality, and even Religion to get us to police each other. The result is monotonous conformity. But the God of the Bible embraces our uniqueness! In fact, the ONLY way for God’s Plan to work is if we are ALL great! God needs your greatness in order for Heaven to be what He wants. We’ll discuss it in this week’s podcast.
