What if the history of the world — and the timeline of Christianity itself — has been dramatically misread?

In this episode I sit down with Paul Stobbs, creator of Understanding Conspiracy, known for his deep dives into Nephilim, spiritual warfare, and the exploding conversation around the millennial kingdom, the little season, and whether Christ may have already returned. Paul breaks down how he first got pulled into these ideas, why the topic overtook his channel, and how the movement around it accelerated far beyond anything he expected.

This episode digs into old world architecture, conflicting historical narratives, and the internal shift that happens when something in your body recognizes a thread of truth before your mind can name it. The tension between what we’re told and what we sense opens space for deeper questions — the kind that refuse to leave you alone. This episode isn’t about persuading you of a doctrine. It’s about discernment—how to sit with unsettling possibilities, stay grounded, and carry truth responsibly without letting it fracture your relationships, identity, or inner life.
