Ep 199"Supernatural Encounters" with James B. DeYoung
What do Israel-at-war, the Bible, the occult, and the music of Taylor Swift have in common? All involve supernatural encounters. They permeate the Bible, history, and contemporary life. Many are divine, good, and godly; others are demonic, evil, and satanic. In part 1, James David De Young creates a short story of what occurred when Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023. In part 2, James B. De Young highlights supernatural encounters in the Bible and in history: God's creating Adam and Eve; Satan's tempting them to disobey God; God's defeat of the gods of Egypt at the Exodus; King Saul and the witch of Endor; the raptures of Enoch and Elijah; Balaam's talking donkey; Jesus's casting out multiple demons and His descent to Hell; the Holy Spirit's coming on Pentecost; Stephen's vision of Jesus in heaven; Paul's and John's visits to heaven; and many more. In part 3, Tracie Pullen affirms how Jesus delivered her from the darkness of the occult and demonism and that He can do this for others. She also discovered her spiritual gifts of discernment and prophecy by dreams and visions. For years Tracie had admired Taylor Swift, but now she sees Swift's music as descending into occultic darkness and demonism. James B. De Young, ThD, has been Professor of New Testament at Western Seminary, Portland, Oregon (1975-2015).

Is it a sin to live together before marriage? Does God hate piercings and tattoos? Do pets go to heaven? Did Judas go to hell? Are aliens real? If Christians divorce, can they remarry? Can Christians watch horror movies or listen to secular music? What is the unforgivable sin? Do you have to be baptized to go to heaven? And more!

Ep 195Tracking Towards Tribulation - with Terry James
Mark speaks with Terry James, editor of the new book Tracking Toward Tribulation: And the Any-Moment Intervention by Jesus Christ.Each and every news cycle brings inhabitants of planet Earth closer to the Tribulation-the time Jesus called the worst of human history. Tracking toward Tribulation and the Any-Moment Intervention by Jesus Christ is an intensively concentrated effort by fifteen of the top writers and broadcasters of our time to analyze the end-times issues and events bombarding America and the world. From the evil and wickedness developing that makes these days like those of Noah and of Lot to Israel becoming a hated nation, as prophesied by the prophet Zechariah, God's words about the end of the age are precisely on track for fulfillment. However, the authors, in thoroughly examining all things involved in the swift movement toward the establishment of Antichrist's world-controlling regime, present a glorious prospect for all who cling to the Lord Jesus Christ, the Blessed Hope of Titus 2:13.Delve into the troubling although exciting developments that are so perplexing to the world at large, but that are made understandable through dissection and exploration by these spiritually attuned authorities in Bible prophecy.

That’s why traditional solutions may offer temporary relief but rarely bring lasting change.The Prayer of Freedom introduces a breakthrough approach—one that uses a science-based process of prayer to remove the spiritual root behind the issue.The result? Freedom that lasts. And it’s not just for mental health—it applies to every area of life where torment takes holdBeatty Carmichael is a teacher and speaker who has spent decades exploring how spiritual laws impact healing, freedom, and personal transformation.

Ep 189The Great Last Days Apostasy -- with JB Hixson
Mark is joined today by JB Hixson, author of The Great Last Days Apostasy: How the American Church Is Falling Away.Something has gone terribly wrong in the American church, and few people are talking about it. Worldly ideologies have obscured biblical truth, feel-good messages have replaced sound doctrine, and the faith of many is crumbling under deception. The Bible warns of a great apostasy as this present age draws to a close. The closer we get to the Lord's return the further the Church is falling away from Him. The Great Last Days Apostasy exposes the evidence of this alarming departure. Will the remnant arise and be found “without spot and blameless at our Lord Jesus Christ’s appearing” (1 Timothy 6:14)?Brought to you by Mark Taylor and the Sky High Podcast Network.

Ep 186MaryAnn Diorio - The Iron Saint
Mark is joined today by MaryAnn Diorio, author of the book The Iron Saint.The Church in America is on the verge of a tremendous spiritual awakening, an awakening that will first be fueled by persecution unlike anything we have ever seen before in this land. Indeed, a prophetic word given in my home church during the month of November gave this warning to the Church: "Prepare for the fire of persecution!"But the Church is not ready for this persecution. For the most part, the Church in America has been weak and lukewarm. Flabby and lazy. Consumed with the world and not with the things of God. As a result, the Church has been deceived and has subverted the divine order of things.In THE IRON SAINT, Dr. MaryAnn Diorio seeks to help equip the saints for the work of true, integritous, and effective ministry. As a teacher in the Body of Christ, it is her burning desire to help correct this devastating error. In THE IRON SAINT, Dr. Diorio has outlined a plan of action for strengthening the Church through uncompromising obedience to the Word of God. This plan of action is based on her own 50 years of walking with the Lord and being led by His Holy Spirit.If you are a born-again believer and member of the Body of Christ, make this book a top reading priority.Brought to you by Mark Taylor and the Sky High Podcast Network.

Ep 178Preparing for WWIII - with Robert Maginnis
Robert Maginnis comes back to the program today to discuss how the world seems to be careening toward an all-domain World War III, marked by a global realignment not seen since the Cold War. Both sides are armed to the teeth with the most frightening, sophisticated technologies known to man. That conflict’s prelude, according to Maginnis, has already played out on deadly battlefields in Ukraine and the Middle East.

Ep 162Demonic Delusions in Prophetic Times (with Carl Gallups)
“Blessed are the eyes that see what you see! For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, and did not see it.” Luke 10:23–24In the opening chapters of Eyes to See, you’ll journey back two millennia. Through Carl Gallups’ renowned narrative style of teaching, you’ll be placed squarely in the company of Yeshua/Jesus and His disciples. You’ll be there when He discloses eye-popping insights to those who were closest to Him.The remaining chapters will take you through one biblical revelation after another, revelations that will, at times, leave you breathless from what you’ve seen.To this day, the entire planet is still reeling from that divinely appointed clash of the unseen realms that took place on Golgotha’s hill and at the garden tomb. That ferocious spiritual collision also foreshadowed what is yet to come…in the ultimate “day of evil.”You’ll also understand why most of the world—along with huge portions of today’s institutional church—is oblivious to what’s taking place around them in real time. This grand, demonic delusion is happening right in the midst of the most prophetic times since the first coming of Yeshua.But first…we have to see it.In Eyes to See, you will…• Understand where much of the world’s most recent technology is taking us, according to God’s Word.• See what lies ahead for our epic prophetic times.• Uncover treasures of astonishing insight previously “hidden” in Scripture and revealed specifically for our day.• Discover a number of remarkable revelations that help make sense of the world in which we’re living.• Experience a real-life supernatural encounter that will open your eyes to see like never before.• Discover what the “Israel link” truly is.• Uncover monumental truths about long-misunderstood biblical declarations.• Make certain you are spiritually ready for the coming “visitation.”

Ep 156Living in the DAZE of Deception | Interview with Jack Hibbs
Pastor Jack Hibbs joins Mark today to talk about his newest book, Living in the Daze of Deception: How to Discern Truth from Culture’s Lies. Jesus warned that deception would grow worse as we draw nearer to the end times, saying, “Take heed that no one deceives you” (Matthew 24:4). Distinguishing truth from error has become an increasingly challenging task—even in the church. We live in a time when falsehoods assault us from every direction. Packaged with just enough truth to make them appear trustworthy, these counterfeits have grown more and more difficult to detect and avoid.Living in the Daze of Deception explores the many ways error is masquerading as truth—and how you can discern the difference. From pastor Jack Hibbs, you’ll learn the characteristics of deceivers and how they have brought harm to both secular culture and the church the many deceptions that are altering and replacing the truth, and how to recognize them the keys to standing strong as the spiritual battles surrounding us intensify The greatest antidote to deception is truth. Equip yourself now to grow in discernment so that you can protect yourself from error and remain steadfast in your faith!Brought to you by Mark Taylor and the Sky High Podcast Network.

Ep 154Imagine Heaven - with John Burke
Today, Mark talks to John Burke, author of the book: Imagine Heaven: Near-Death Experiences, God's Promises, and the Exhilarating Future That Awaits You. All of us long to know what life after death will be like. Bestselling author John Burke is no exception. In Imagine Heaven, Burke compares over 100 gripping stories of near-death experiences (NDEs) to what Scripture says about our biggest questions of Heaven: Will I be myself? Will I see friends and loved ones? What will Heaven look like? What is God like? What will we do forever? What about children and pets? For decades, Burke has been studying accounts of survivors brought back from near death who lived to tell of both heavenly and hellish experiences. While not every detail of individual NDEs correlate with Scripture, Burke shows how the common experiences shared by thousands of survivors--including doctors, college professors, bank presidents, people of all ages and cultures, and even blind people--point to the exhilarating picture of Heaven promised in the Bible.This thrilling journey into the afterlife will make you feel like you've been there. It will forever change the way you view the life to come and the way you live your life today. You'll discover Heaven is even more amazing than you've ever imagined.Brought to you by Mark Taylor and the Sky High Podcast Network.

Ep 152Truth, Lies and Control - with Michael Letts
Truth, Lies, and Control offers a penetrating analysis of the current societal chaos and the erosion of values once held sacred.The world and the nation are in a state of turmoil, a fact evident even to those with minimal or no faith. While it’s easy to point fingers at the mainstream media, anarchists, racists, socialists, and other perceived culprits, Truth, Lies, and Control delves deeper, examining the emotional impact of witnessing the gradual collapse of values that previous generations fought to secure and uphold.The narrative acknowledges the rapid deterioration of the values, a decline more severe than many could have anticipated. Letts identifies key factors contributing to America’s downward spiral, tracing their origins and highlighting their profound effects on individuals and institutions. These factors range from the radicalization of politics and education systems to the rise of extremist ideologies that challenge the core principles upon which America was built. Truth, Lies, and Control is a call to action for citizens concerned about America's moral freefall. It urges individuals to break free from passivity and engage in the battle that has arrived at their doorsteps. With a focus on reviving the truth, it encourages everyone to be vigilant in this battleground of ideas. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the issues, speaking up boldly, and defending moral truths that protect children, communities, and personal values.Brought to you by Mark Taylor and the Sky High Podcast Network.
