EP: 395 Bending the Continuum: Time Travel with Troy BrewerPastor, author, and child rescuer Troy Brewer joins us to explore one of the most mind-bending topics in Scripture—time travel and the redemption of your timeline. Troy walks us through the biblical framework for understanding how God, who exists outside of time, space, and matter, can reach into any moment of our lives to bring healing and transformation. He dismantles the idea that we are prisoners of a linear timeline. Drawing from the very first verse of Genesis, Brewer explains how time, space, and matter exist in a perfect continuum that God, as the Creator, is not subject to in any way. From the Book of Revelation as a literal time-travel account to the hidden purpose behind humanity's fall into a timeline, this conversation will reshape how you think about prophecy, free will, and God's sovereign plan. The conversation dives deep into the "blurry" intersection of theoretical physics and biblical miracles, exploring how God can stop, accelerate, or even reverse time for the sake of redemption. Brewer shares a staggering account of a former inmate whose entire 24-year criminal record was supernaturally erased from government files after a focused prayer session. Troy shares powerful stories from his work rescuing trafficked children around the world, including a stunning testimony about a nonverbal girl in the Amazon whose life was transformed when Troy obeyed a prophetic dream about a "missed miracle." We dig into how trauma can be redeemed when we invite Jesus into our past, how prayer can transcend time itself, and the practical steps for surrendering every season of your life to God's dominion. From the time-jumping visions of John the Revelator to the practical application of "future prayers," this episode challenges everything you know about the constraints of your own life. It will leave you seeing the cross and your timeline in an entirely new light. This episode is sponsored by: https://www.muddamalle.com/theunseenbattle — Get your copy of The Unseen Battle today.

EP: 389 Where Heaven Meets Earth with NT WrightWhat if the entire goal of the gospel isn't to escape earth but to bring heaven crashing into it? One of the greatest living theologians, author of over 80 books, former Bishop of Durham, and a scholar whose work has shaped how millions understand Paul and the early church, N.T. Wright sat down with us to talk about his new book, The Vision of Ephesians. We delve deeply into Paul's letter to Ephesus, which is filled with the kind of cosmic, spiritual warfare content that most churches tend to gloss over. Tom walks us through what it actually means to be "seated in heavenly places" while simultaneously engaged in battle against principalities and powers. We talk demons, the rapture, and the weird stuff in Scripture that most pastors skip over. He explains why the armor of God is mostly defensive—and why the one offensive weapon, the sword of the Spirit, isn't the Bible as we think of it, but the announced word that Jesus is Lord. As we further explore Ephesians, Wright contends that Paul's letter is the "room with a view" in his writings—a place where you can stand back and see the whole cosmic picture of what God is doing. And that picture isn't about escaping earth for heaven. It's about heaven and earth crashing together, with Jesus at the center and his people caught up in the collision. Tom traces how ancient philosophy and Enlightenment thinking convinced the Western church that God is far away and our job is to wait for extraction—and why that reading makes nonsense of Genesis, the Sermon on the Mount, and Revelation.But this conversation isn't just theological theory. Tom opens up about personal encounters with spiritual warfare, including the time every fire alarm in the building went off the moment he stood up to lecture on Ephesians 6. He shares stories from his years overseeing diocesan exorcists as Bishop of Durham, the C.S. Lewis passage that shaped his understanding of spiritual resistance, and why both ignoring the demonic and seeing demons behind every bush are dangerous mistakes. We also get into his thoughts on the rapture and how Jesus redefined power itself through the cross. This is a masterclass in biblical theology from a living legend.
