Giant Steps ~ with Doug Van Dorn

Author, pastor, seminary president, former Army Ranger, PhD candidate, classically trained jazz musician, gourmet chef, Nick Kennicott is a man for all seasons. In this episode, we talk about the topic of his dissertation: critical race theory, how is it communism come home to roost in our own country and why it is one of the most important topics we can discuss in the context of our rapidly disintegrating republic.

On this episode we take you through the process of what it was like to put together this gargantuan 4 part documentary filmed in five different continents over a span of two years. Find out how we met and how this project turned us into lifelong friends! Angels & Giants- The Watchers & The Nephilim.http://www.AngelsAndGiants.com

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.

If the Chiastic Book of Revelation blew your mind, wait til you see what George Lucas did and most of us never even noticed!!!

Solar flares and cellular networks?! Spanglish! What happened to the sons of God who received the title deed to the spiritual atmosphere? Where did demons come from? Who exactly is Satan? and...an exciting announcement!

When exactly was "the Fall" of man? was it Adam and Eve in the garden? was there another "fall of mankind"?...where there more than two "falls"?. Hold on a minute!! are we sinners simply by being born?? Is it maybe time to review all of this and make sense of some other theories that go back hundreds upon hundreds of years? Have we understood it correctly? Let's unpack all of this!

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 Angel of the Lord" ...this is a term that we hear repeatedly in the Old Testament of the Bible. Who is The Angel of the Lord? On this episode we feature my dear friend Matt Foreman who was my co-author of the book, aptly named "The Angel of the Lord".

Just when you think you know Doug, he goes and he peels YET ANOTHER layer to the onion that is his life. We talk history, we talk gratitude, we talk Clark Griswold! A special edition of Giants Steps!

The Book of Revelation is one of the most mysterious, debated, controversial, and discussed pieces of literary work in the history of the world. As believers, we labor to understand it, decipher it, discern it as we look forward to the day when we see our redemption arrive...but few realize that even deeper than the mysteries that we all read about and discuss, there is an even deeper mystery hidden in plain sight...the "chiastic" mystery of the way the Book of Revelation is written!

The supernatural world exists all around us. The demonic realm is a real place where the war for the collective soul of mankind rages every single moment of every single day. Malachi Sewel shares with us his unbelievable up close encounters with demonic entities that physically possess people and were delivered because of God's power working through him. Malachi also tells us of the power and dominion that we as followers of Jesus Christ, all have at our disposal to engage the enemy in his own realm in the supernatural and supreme power of the blood of Jesus Christ.

The Deuteronomy 32 Worldview has rocked the lives of most who read and grasp it. But what is it? In this episode we take you through the key texts, explain the supernatural essentials, and most of all, show how Jesus is it’s ultimate end and purpose, in both Testaments.
