Tonight’s episode goes straight into the deep end of spiritual warfare, the fall, and the enemy’s real role in Scripture. Kyle Millholland from The Word at War joins the conversation to unpack Ezekiel 28, Isaiah 14, and why the modern church rarely touches the “strange” parts of the Bible. This one explores the idea that “Satan” is a title, not a personal name, and why that matters in the fight believers are actually in. The episode also digs into the precious stones, the high priest parallels, and how extra-biblical texts like 1 Enoch can add context to what’s already in Scripture. If life feels like constant pressure, confusion, and division, this episode frames it through one lens: spiritual war is the root layer, and the world stage is the smoke. ⚔️🔥Subscribe for more episodes that connect Scripture to the real fight behind the headlines. ⚔️#spiritualwarfare #bookofenoch #biblestudy #christianpodcast #deliverance 00:00 Welcome and intro02:10 Who is Kyle and The Word at War05:05 Why the church avoids spiritual warfare08:40 The Nephilim rabbit hole moment11:10 Ezekiel 28 and the “anointed cherub”15:40 The signet ring and authority theme17:50 Stones, priesthood, and Exodus parallels24:40 Septuagint vs Masoretic differences29:00 “Lucifer” and the name translation issue35:10 Mount Hermon, Mount Zaphon, and the assembly40:00 Why the war is hidden in plain sight45:00 Job, the prosecutor idea, and divine council54:10 Gadreel and the Garden theory01:08:10 Service without truth is slavery01:12:20 Modern implications and distractions01:16:45 Planting seeds: community and urgency01:24:40 Closing prayer 👉 If this episode hit a nerve, subscribe, leave a comment, and share it with someone who’s been feeling the pressure. 🌱⚔️Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-broadcasting-seeds-podcast--6402290/support.Book - https://a.co/d/8ow3McDBroadcasting Seeds Sponsors  ECO Flow - For all your mobile power needs!

What if the rise and fall of empires isn’t driven only by politics, money, or war… but by invisible battles happening just beyond human sight? In this episode of Broadcasting Seeds, host Bennett Tanton dives into one of the most overlooked and unsettling threads in the Bible. The book of Daniel and the Minor Prophets reveal a hidden layer of reality where angels, spiritual princes, and unseen forces influence the fate of nations. Daniel describes powerful spiritual beings assigned to empires like Persia and Greece. A mysterious fourth figure walks through fire beside condemned men. The angel Gabriel delivers intelligence so intense it physically overwhelms the prophet. And the Minor Prophets record strange visions of flying scrolls, supernatural horsemen, and armies that do not move like anything on Earth. This is not fantasy. It is ancient testimony of a spiritual war that still shapes our world. Instead of sensationalism or fear, this episode maps patterns. Why does history feel scripted at times? Why do entire cultures change overnight? Why does resistance appear when people seek truth? And what does it mean to live in a world that may be layered with unseen influence? If you have ever felt like something bigger is happening behind the scenes, this episode will give you language for that feeling.

We’ll walk through the 12 days of Yule, the burning of the Yule log, sacred feasts, offerings to the gods, and the mysterious rituals of divination and rune-casting. And of course… we follow Odin and the Wild Hunt, the legendary ghost-ride across the winter sky — a myth that symbolized cleansing, chaos, rebirth, and the ushering in of a new year.

🌲 Elves, Fairies, and the Hidden Origins of Christmas Folklore In this episode of Broadcasting Seeds, host Bennett Tanton takes you deep into the mysterious world behind Christmas elves and fairies — far beyond the cute toy-shop helpers and glitter-wing decorations we see today. We trace these beings back to ancient pagan folklore, Norse and Celtic traditions, and the early blending of Christian symbolism with older spiritual beliefs. You’ll discover how elves and fairies were once viewed as powerful, unpredictable, and deeply connected to the unseen world of nature, and how over time they transformed into playful icons of the modern holiday season. From the Nordic Nisse/Tomte spirit who protects the homestead, to the Celtic fairies who symbolize both generosity and mischief, this episode explores the dual nature of these legendary beings — guardians, tricksters, helpers, and reminders of balance. This isn’t just mythology. These stories whisper deeper truths about respect, gratitude, kindness, and the spiritual meaning woven into Christmas traditions. Along the way, we look at how folklore reflects our own behavior, and why mischief in myth often mirrors the parts of ourselves we’d rather not notice.

Santa Claus is one of the most recognizable figures on Earth. But what if the version we know today is only the final mask worn by something far older? In this episode of Broadcasting Seeds, host Bennett Tanton traces the true origins of Santa Claus across ancient pagan mythology, Christian history, European folklore, and modern corporate culture. From Odin and the Wild Hunt, to Saint Nicholas, to Krampus and other dark enforcers, this episode explores how the Santa figure evolved into a global symbol of reward, judgment, and behavior control. This is not an anti-Christmas episode. It is an examination of symbolism, archetypes, and how stories shape belief, obedience, and authority from childhood into adulthood. We explore how Santa became a “watcher” figure, why that role appears across cultures, and what it may mean psychologically and spiritually when an omniscient judge replaces discernment, grace, and truth. If you’ve ever wondered where Santa really came from, why he knows when you’re sleeping, and what message that trains us to accept, this episode will change how you see Christmas forever.🧩 Topics CoveredSanta Claus before Santa: Odin, Yule, and the Wild HuntSaint Nicholas and the Christian transformation of the winter watcherKrampus, Knecht Ruprecht, and the forgotten punishment figuresGlobal Santa variants and shared archetypesCoca-Cola, consumerism, and the modern “safe” SantaSurveillance, behavior conditioning, and spiritual symbolismDiscernment vs compliance in a world full of watchers📚 Sources & ReferencesEncyclopaedia Britannica – Saint Nicholashttps://www.britannica.com/biography/Saint-NicholasHistory.com – Origins of Santa Claushttps://www.history.com/topics/christmas/santa-clausNorse Mythology – Odin and the Wild Hunthttps://norse-mythology.org/gods-and-creatures/the-aesir-gods-and-goddesses/odin/National Geographic – Krampus and Alpine Folklorehttps://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/krampus-christmas-demonSmithsonian Magazine – Coca-Cola and the Modern Santahttps://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/how-coca-cola-helped-shape-santa-claus-180980545/📣 Call to Action If you enjoyed this episode, please like, share, and leave a review on your favorite podcast platform.

In this episode of Broadcasting Seeds, host Bennett Tanton sits down with JT, a content creator and truth seeker, to unpack his powerful awakening that began in 2020. Together, they dive deep into biblical truth, ancient history, and the hidden forces shaping modern narratives. This conversation explores the Bible as historical foundation, the mysteries of the Dark Ages, and the lasting influence of the Roman Empire on faith, doctrine, and civilization. JT connects ancient myths, suppressed history, and modern belief systems, challenging listeners to rethink what they’ve been taught about truth and reality. The discussion also examines biblical prophecy, including the controversial concept of the “Little Season” from the Book of Revelation, and draws timeless lessons from the Book of Job on suffering, obedience, and faith under pressure. Throughout the episode, themes of spiritual warfare, Christian faith, truth seeking, and community take center stage. This episode is for listeners interested in:Biblical prophecy and end timesAncient history and suppressed knowledgeFaith, Christianity, and spiritual awakeningConspiracy theories examined through a biblical lensThe Roman Empire, the Dark Ages, and hidden historyTruth seeking in a world of deceptionIf you’re searching for high strangeness grounded in Scripture, conversations about faith vs deception, and a deeper look at how history, prophecy, and belief intersect, this episode plants some serious seeds.JT Links:https://jtfollowsjc.com/https://www.youtube.com/@jtfollowsjcBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-broadcasting-seeds-podcast--6402290/support.Book - https://a.co/d/8ow3McDBroadcasting Seeds Sponsors  ECO Flow - For all your mobile power needs!
