Blurry Creatures

"In him we live and move and have our being." When Paul quoted the Greek poet Epimenides at Mars Hill in Acts 17, the Athenian philosophers weren't confused—they knew exactly what he was referencing. Their council of gods. In this LIVE from Blurry Con preview, Dr. Joel Muddamalle explains that Greek philosophy included a divine hierarchy ruling over nations and territories, strikingly similar to what Scripture describes in Deuteronomy 32:8. When God judged humanity at Babel, He didn't just scatter the nations—He disinherited them, assigning each to divine beings called "sons of God." These weren't decorative angels; they were governing authorities with real power over territories. The Greeks called them gods. The Hebrews understood them as rebellious divine council members. Paul, standing in the intellectual epicenter of the ancient world, used their own theology against them: "That council you worship? They're defeated rebels. The 'Unknown God' you acknowledge but don't know? That's Yahweh—and His Son Jesus Christ has authority over every power you've been serving." Joel walks through how Paul's Mars Hill sermon connects to the entire biblical narrative of spiritual warfare: the serpent's Eden rebellion, Babel's cosmic judgment, Mount Hermon where divine beings (Watchers) descended and corrupted the nations they were supposed to steward, and ultimately Christ's victory reclaiming all territory and authority. This is why Paul could confidently quote Greek poets—he wasn't compromising truth, he was revealing it through a framework the Greeks already understood. Joel explains what the divine council is, why geography matters in spiritual warfare, where demons originate (not fallen angels—Scripture doesn't teach that), how territorial spirits function, and why missions and prayer look different when you understand cosmic geography. The Greeks believed in a council of gods ruling over territories. Paul said: You're right about the structure, but wrong about who's in charge. Christ has defeated them all and reclaimed His rightful dominion. This conversation bridges ancient philosophy, Hebrew theology, and practical spiritual warfare—showing they're not contradictory but complementary when understood correctly. Whether you're trying to make sense of Ephesians 6, understand missions strategy, or grasp what Christ actually accomplished, Joel provides the framework Scripture assumes but Western rationalism has stripped away.

Tennessee's forests hide something most people refuse to acknowledge: tall white beings that appear, watch, and vanish. Matt Larson knows—he encountered them. Walking through remote woods, he came across entities that defied explanation: humanoid figures, impossibly tall and pale, with features that were almost human but disturbingly wrong. They weren't animals. They weren't people. They were something else entirely, and they were watching him with clear intelligence. The encounter lasted only moments, but the implications have haunted him ever since. Who—or what—are the tall whites? Why do they appear in forests? Are they the same entities reported by military personnel at classified facilities, or something different? And why do so many people across America report nearly identical experiences in wooded areas—tall, pale figures that seem to phase in and out of visibility?In this members-only exclusive, we unpack Matt's decades of experience with the abduction phenomenon—greys, missing time, medical examinations—gave him unique context for understanding this woods encounter. After years of torment and research, he discovered these entities, including the tall whites, immediately cease when confronted with Christ's authority. During encounters, calling on Jesus caused them to react with visceral hatred and flee. This wasn't theory—it was repeatable, demonstrable spiritual warfare. We discuss the nature of tall white beings, why they manifest in remote forests, how they relate to other cryptid and UFO encounters, whether they're physical or interdimensional (or both), the mechanics of how demonic entities can appear in seemingly solid form, and why mainstream researchers avoid the spiritual component. Matt also addresses practical questions: How do you protect yourself in the woods? What should you do if you encounter these beings? Why are sightings increasing? This episode connects the dots between UFO abductions, forest cryptids, and spiritual warfare—revealing they may all be connected to the same deceptive enemy operating under different disguises.

What if the cure for cancer, diabetes, and chronic disease has been hiding in Scripture all along—not as metaphor, but as literal medicine growing in your backyard? What if the Bible has laid out the best practices for our nutrition?Dr. Josh Axe (bestselling author and functional medicine practitioner) and Jordan Rubin (founder of Garden of Life, author of The Maker's Diet) join us to discuss their groundbreaking book The Biblio Diet, which synthesizes 6,000 years of biblical nutrition into practical health wisdom for modern Christians. Both men survived death-defying diagnoses—Jordan overcame terminal Crohn's disease and metastatic cancer, while Josh recovered from a spinal infection that doctors said would permanently disable him.We discuss what Solomon actually ate (spoiler: bread and red meat—things no modern diet recommends), why the food pyramid is inverted, how Big Pharma's "sorcery" (pharmakeia in Greek) has deceived nations, and why pork and shellfish aren't in God's definition of "food."But the revelation that changes everything? Ezekiel 47:12 and Revelation 22:2 both describe the Tree of Life's leaves as medicine for healing nations. Not metaphorically. Literally. Join us for a journey deep into the scriptures, offering a remarkable deep dive into ancient truths for modern bodies in need of restoration.

John Burke returns for a deeper dive into the harder questions surrounding near-death experiences. After 40 years of researching over 1,500 cases from every continent and religious background, Burke tackles what people consistently report about hell, spiritual warfare, angelic beings, and the nature of God.This episode explores the uncomfortable testimonies of hellish experiences—from the outer darkness to pits of fire, from victims of spiritual torment to those trapped chasing earthly addictions. Burke discusses why some NDEs involve deception by malevolent beings, the role of tunnel experiences as spiritual protection, and whether there's a "liminal space" where souls can still cry out to God before crossing into eternity.Burke shares stories that don't make it into most Christian discussions: the Muslim imam who saw Jesus with holes in his wrists and woke up at his own burial, the Jewish woman who sat on God's lap while Jesus stood nearby (but they were somehow "one"), the Hindu engineer who saw a lake of fire despite never reading the Bible, and the atheist professor dragged into darkness by deceptive beings claiming to be hospital staff.These aren't ghost stories or hallucinations—many occurred during documented clinical death with flat EEGs and no heartbeat for extended periods. Burke explains the consistent patterns he's discovered: the tunnel as protection, the life review, the welcoming committee of angels, and the terrifying reality that some people initially head toward places of torment before being rescued. We discuss AI deception, astral projection, why time works differently on "the other side," and whether these experiences prove the Bible's descriptions of the afterlife are more literal than we thought.

What if the Ark of the Covenant isn't lost—it's just hidden in plain sight? Bob Cornuke returns for a second episode, exclusively for members, to share explosive revelations from twenty-two expeditions to Ethiopia, where Orthodox monks guard what they believe is the actual Ark. With unprecedented access to Lake Tana's sacred island and trust earned from four generations of Ark guardians, Bob traces a compelling 2,700-year timeline from Solomon's Temple to modern-day Axum. He presents archaeological evidence, including tent peg holes matching tabernacle dimensions, ancient artifacts, and historical documents that map the Ark's journey through Egypt's Elephantine Island before reaching Ethiopia. With 98% certainty, Bob explains why Ethiopian Christians protect a decaying wooden box they believe houses the Ten Commandments, guarded by a keeper who dedicates his entire life to watching over it, never leaving the building. The conversation shifts to Malta, where Bob tracked down four massive anchors from Paul's shipwreck—discovered by local divers at the exact location and depth described in Acts 27, with odds of coincidence at 10 to the 50th power according to Chuck Missler's calculations. The episode reaches its emotional peak when Bob shares a never-before-told story of a prophetic vision that led him to save a paralyzed Ethiopian man's life, transforming his access to Ethiopia's most guarded spiritual secrets and his understanding of divine purpose.

Tasha shares her deeply personal account of encountering Men in Black during her first psychiatric hospitalization in 2012. As an 18-year-old foster youth experiencing her first psychotic break at UC Berkeley, she found herself restrained on a hospital gurney—where two men in black suits with sunglasses appeared, repeatedly telling her "we're here to make you get better."This episode navigates challenging territory at the intersection of mental health, trauma, and unexplained phenomena. Tasha, now holding a master's degree and advocating for foster youth, reflects on her journey with a schizophrenia diagnosis while maintaining that her Men in Black encounter was real—particularly because she made physical contact, describing their skin as "waxy and cold," matching historical descriptions from Men in Black reports.We explore difficult questions: Can extreme fear or trauma create frequencies that attract unexplained visitors? Do some individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia have heightened spiritual perception alongside genuine mental health struggles? Why do Men in Black encounters sometimes occur without any reported UFO activity? Tasha discusses her healing journey through faith, the role of trauma in mental health, alternative treatments including dietary interventions, and why she believes both psychological and spiritual dimensions exist in her experience.The conversation addresses the complexity of discernment for those with mental health diagnoses, the importance of proper support systems, and how Tasha has transformed her painful past into advocacy work for foster youth. She candidly discusses the challenges of living with schizophrenia while maintaining spiritual awareness, the danger of dismissing all supernatural experiences as hallucinations, and the equal danger of attributing everything to the spiritual realm.Content Note: This episode contains discussion of mental health conditions, childhood trauma, and psychiatric hospitalization. Tasha's story represents her personal experience and perspective. We acknowledge the complexity of distinguishing between genuine supernatural encounters and symptoms of mental health conditions, and encourage anyone struggling with similar experiences to seek professional medical and spiritual guidance.

In this episode of Blurry Creatures, Joe Anderson shares his raw and unfiltered testimony of encountering the supernatural, battling spiritual darkness, and finding freedom in Jesus. From childhood experiences and open doors to demonic oppression, to navigating family struggles and ministry under heavy spiritual attack, Joe’s story sheds light on the reality of spiritual warfare and deliverance. Exposure to occult practices and horror media can unknowingly open dangerous spiritual doors, a reality Joe Anderson experienced firsthand through encounters with demonic forces and even poltergeist activity.

Ali Siadatan returns with his most controversial theory yet: that Genesis contains not one, but two distinct creation narratives involving different types of humans. Drawing from Hebrew linguistics and ancient Near Eastern context, Ali argues that the language of Genesis reveals that the word "Elohim" (traditionally translated as "God") is Divine Council language. In this thought-provoking episode, Ali presents his theory that the creation story involves two distinct events: first, the Elohim (divine council) creating humans in their collective image who roam the earth, followed by Yahweh Elohim creating Adam specifically for Eden's garden. This interpretation attempts to solve puzzles like where Cain's wife came from, why he feared other people, and how agriculture suddenly appeared in the archaeological record.From his research into ancient gods and civilizations to his groundbreaking documentary linking UFOs to biblical narratives, Ali's journey challenges both literalist and progressive interpretations of Scripture. Whether you agree with his conclusions or not, his linguistic analysis and pattern recognition raise fascinating questions about what the text actually says versus what tradition teaches.
