Blurry Creatures

What happens when success strips away everything except what matters most? Chris Baumgartner's story begins with hazmat suits and national headlines as Tennessee's COVID Patient Zero, but unfolds into something far stranger. This biotech executive, who once scaled companies worth hundreds of millions, finds himself unemployed for three years, and wondering who would come to his funeral.The breaking point comes in the form of desperate prayer and what Chris describes as the Holy Spirit responding in perfect ancient Hebrew - a language he doesn't speak. From there, the supernatural encounters accelerate: prophetic dreams, words of knowledge for strangers, and a prayer location on Franklin's highest hill where dozens claim to experience profound spiritual encounters.The Blurry Creatures hosts put this to the test, visiting Chris's prayer gatherings as complete skeptics. What they experience challenges their assumptions about faith, prophecy, and the distance between the natural and supernatural worlds. This isn't a sanitized testimony - it's a raw account of crisis, desperation, and claims of divine intervention that will leave listeners questioning what's possible.

What makes certain places feel haunted, cursed, or spiritually charged - and is the concept of territorial spirits actually biblical? Dr. Marta Escarcega has spent 45 years investigating the connection between geography and supernatural phenomena while examining what Scripture teaches about principalities, powers, and spiritual warfare over land. She discusses locations where people consistently go missing, areas that trigger unexplained anxiety in travelers, and regions avoided by indigenous peoples for spiritual reasons. Drawing from experiences across reservations, ancient sites, and urban centers, Dr. Marta explains how to "read" the spiritual atmosphere of a place and why some locations seem to act as portals or gathering points for non-human entities. The conversation explores Old Testament concepts like "high places," New Testament references to territorial demons, and how historical events create lasting spiritual consequences for geographic regions. Dr. Marta addresses common theological objections while sharing real-world examples of locations where teams of investigators consistently report similar phenomena. She explains the difference between lingering human spirits and territorial demons, how worship and biblical declaration can impact spiritual atmospheres, and why proper spiritual authority matters when confronting these forces. The discussion examines the balance between acknowledging supernatural realities based in Scripture and avoiding obsession with demonic activity, offering both a theological framework and practical field experience for understanding the spiritual dimensions of geography.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Christa Black, a former Christian recording artist who toured with Michael W. Smith and the Jonas Brothers for over a decade. Christa shares her shocking journey from representing the global bride of Christ at "The Call" stadium event to losing everything in Costa Rica through plant medicine ceremonies.After years as a successful Christian author and speaker, Christa found herself drawn into the New Age world through seemingly innocent concepts like manifestation and energy healing. What began with small compromises eventually led to ayahuasca and wachuma ceremonies, where she encountered false spirits, including a being claiming to be Satan who asked her to "advocate for him before the Father."Christa reveals the sophisticated deception tactics of the enemy, how plant medicine creates spiritual "loans" that must eventually be repaid, and the legal authority given to dark entities through these practices. She explains the difference between legitimate spiritual gifts and their New Age counterfeits, and how fallen angel technology has been downloaded through indigenous plant ceremonies.Most importantly, Christa shares her dramatic rescue story - how God orchestrated her return to faith through a 16-year-old bracelet and the very songs from her wedding day. Now back in relationship with Jesus, she uses her authority from having been "in their camps" to pray for others trapped in deception.This episode serves as both a warning about the growing mainstream acceptance of psychedelics and a testimony of God's relentless pursuit of His people, no matter how far they've fallen.

In this episode, we unpack the explosive research that set the world news cycle ablaze this spring. Andrew Jones and his team produced groundbreaking geophysical scans and soil analyses in Eastern Turkey, suggesting the legendary Noah’s Ark may have been found. Join us as we dive into the murky ground of Turkey’s Durupinar formation with the founder of Noah’s Ark Scans. We go deep into the mountains of Eastern Turkey to explore what could be humanity's greatest archaeological discovery.  From Ron Wyatt's pioneering work in the 1970s to the cutting-edge use of ground-penetrating radar, which reveals underground chambers, we examine the compelling evidence at the Durupinar Formation. Could this 515-foot boat-shaped anomaly, sitting exactly 300 cubits long, really be Noah's Ark? We discuss the advanced ship design, soil analysis showing 3x higher organic matter inside the formation, mysterious drogue stones scattered nearby, and the controversial giant graves that have vanished with their golden treasures.  Is this the fossilized frame of the Ark, or has nature played masterful mimic?  Come along on this incredible journey to the Iranian border, where ancient history meets modern science and cutting-edge research may uncover the final resting place of Noah's Ark and a link to the Biblical Flood.  This Episode is Sponsored By: Visit https://shopbeam.com/BLURRY and use code BLURRY to get our exclusive discount of up to 50% off!

Angela takes us on her journey—from dabbling in occult practices and spiritualism in hopes of comfort and identity, to a moment of raw surrender on her kitchen floor when she cried out, “Jesus, save me,” and experienced a supernatural breakthrough that changed everything  She recounts how what felt like spiritual growth—astrology, crystals, spirit guides, tarot, and meditation—was deception, pointing to what she now understands as counterfeit spirituality tethered to familiar and demonic spirits. In candid, thought‑provoking conversation, Angela dives into the “spirit of religion”—the spirit of legalism and dogma that can grip churches and undermine genuine intimacy with God—and contrasts it with the true freedom found in Jesus Christ. She explains how different spiritual entities are portrayed in Scripture, from the Holy Spirit to religious spirits, familiar spirits, and demonic deceptions that masquerade as divine guidance. Through her testimony, Angela offers compassion and clarity for anyone wrestling with New Age beliefs or lingering spiritual confusion. She calls listeners into a life grounded not in shifting beliefs or subjective truths, but in the objective, liberating truth of Christ. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on Blurry Creatures, we welcome two brilliant minds—Dr. Judd Burton and Dr. Aaron Judkins—for a mind-bending conversation about one of the oldest and most mysterious archaeological sites on Earth: Göbekli Tepe. In their new book Decoding Göbekli Tepe: Biblical Anatolia and the Watchers, the authors explore the ancient symbolism, spiritual significance, and possible supernatural connections surrounding this enigmatic site in modern-day Turkey. We delve into the theory that Göbekli Tepe was more than just a temple—it was a place of resurrection rituals, ancestor worship, and possibly even the influence of the biblical Watchers. Could this ancient site be linked to the Nephilim? Was it part of a global network of pre-flood civilizations? And what do vultures, phallic symbols, and Luwian hieroglyphs have to do with it? From biblical echoes to supernatural speculation, this episode explores the thin veil between ancient history and the blurry realm of the divine and the forbidden. . Learn more about your ad choices.
