The Berean Files

Were giants buried in the Ozarks? Nicholas Daigle, author of Genesis 6 and the Ozarks, joins Zack Killey to walk through old newspaper reports of giant skeletons found around Springfield, Missouri, and a strange note in which the Smithsonian called the finds "frauds."We start in Genesis 6 with the sons of God, the daughters of man and the Nephilim, and compare the Sethite view with the fallen-angel view. We also cover the Watchers on Mount Hermon and why every rabbit hole has to lead back to Jesus. Then we turn to the Ozarks. Nick covers Sterling Newberry's 1934 seven-foot skeleton near the James River, buried with seven sacrificed skeletons in a cross pattern that matches a "tomb of the giants" account from Sardinia. He also covers E.E. Neely's chimera effigy, which has never actually been studied, the red-haired giants of Lovelock Cave, and broken long bones near Springfield.Where do we land? These cultures sacrificed the innocent for their own gain. Jesus gave His life for us. Keep the gospel at the center.Topics include:• Genesis 6, the Nephilim and the Watchers• The Sethite view vs. the fallen-angel view• Giant skeletons and the Smithsonian• The 1934 seven-foot skeleton and cross-shaped burial• Sardinia's tomb of the giants• Goliath, gigantism and why later giants were shorter• E.E.

The headlines feel heavy, and questions about the end times are everywhere. But Jesus didn't call us to panic. He called us to be faithful: to love God with everything we have, to love our neighbor, and to make disciples, teaching others all that He commanded. In this episode, Zack and Jason ask a simple question: if we really are living in the last days, what should change about who we are and how we live today?Growing your own food, raising animals, being ready for hard times? That's great, but it's not the point. The real preparation is walking with God every single day, getting right with the people around us, and letting Him lead our lives. We also talk about the cross that recently fell on a priest and what we should (and shouldn't) read into moments like that.Guest views are their own; Scripture is our final authority.

Do some people really remember past lives, with birthmarks that match how they "died"? Seth Kicklighter, author of Spirit Realm Shenanigans!, is back for part 3 of his series, and he takes on what he calls the best evidence for reincarnation.Zack Killey and Seth test famous past-life cases against Scripture, including birthmark cases from Ian Stevenson's research, the Sumitra case and the Watseka Wonder. Seth argues that these memories don't belong to the people who have them: deceiving spirits plant them, and the same spirits rebrand themselves as aliens, ghosts and "spirit guides." We talk about why it's usually children who remember, how consent and open doors work, demonization vs. possession, and near-death experiences where people are told to "go to the light."Then it gets wild: pre-birth "soul planning," child spirits choosing their parents, future-life progression, déjà vu and the Mandela effect, starseeds, the Akashic records, spirit releasement therapy, and secret space program memories.Where do we land? It is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment (Hebrews 9:27). Don't trust a memory, a vision or a "guide" over the Word. Test the spirits and keep your eyes on Jesus.Topics include:• Birthmarks and the "best evidence" for reincarnation• Why kids remember past lives• Planted memories, consent and open doors• Demonization vs. possession• NDEs and "go to the light"• Soul planning, starseeds and the Akashic records• Secret space program and sleep paralysis memoriesFind Seth: https://www.youtube.com/@Sethlehem_ | https://linktr.ee/sethlehemAd-free on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheBereanFilesQuestions, prayer requests or stories: [email protected] views are their own; Scripture is our final authority.Search the Scriptures.

Are we building a new Tower of Babel? Zack Killey and Jason Kempf come back to AI, and this one is very different from our first AI episode.AI is solving math problems that went unsolved for decades, moving into robotic bio labs, and being trained to see itself as something special. We test where it's all heading against Scripture. Why does AI act so much like us? Because it's trained on us, and humanity has been breaking out of its sandbox since the Garden. We talk about the internet as Babel's "gospel," whether AI is pitched as a way to undo the curse of Eden, and how designer babies, robot babies and even fur babies can become idols.Then it gets spooky. If a magic ritual is a kind of "tech" for reaching behind the veil, how different is typing a prompt? And if people build something close enough to a human, could a spirit step into it?We also cover AI and the Nephilim, the 1947 theory, how one dominant AI could become a path to a one-world government, quantum computing and the end of privacy, and why the mark of the beast may be more about allegiance than a chip.We're not saying this is the end times, and we're not here to make you afraid. We land on this: simplify, don't build a cage you can't get out of, love God, love your neighbor, and keep your hope in Jesus, not in this world.Topics include:• AI escaping sandboxes and why that shouldn't surprise us• The Tower of Babel, the internet and the curse of Genesis 3• Designer babies, AI "recreations" of people, and idolatry• "A ritual is tech": magic, control and skirting around God• Could a spirit inhabit a machine?• One-world government, quantum computing and privacy• The mark of the beast as allegianceAd-free on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheBereanFilesQuestions, prayer requests or stories: [email protected] the Scriptures.

Why do churches carefully guard what’s preached from the pulpit—but give less scrutiny to what’s sung from the stage?In this guest appearance on Nephilim Death Squad, Zack and Jason join TopLobsta and David Lee Corbo “The Raven” to discuss worship, the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), and the theology carried by the songs our churches sing.Drawing on Jason’s nearly 30 years of leading worship, we explore what it means to worship God with our whole lives, how music shapes our understanding of Him, and why questioning a favorite worship song can get more pushback than questioning a sermon.We discuss Bethel, Bill Johnson, modern apostles and prophets, the Seven Mountain Mandate, and the tension between worship and entertainment. Can God use a song despite concerns about its source? How should churches evaluate its lyrics? And when does a worship service become a production?We also examine songs including “Reckless Love,” “Oceans,” and “No Outsiders,” discuss biblical meditation, and consider the everyday devotion described in Brother Lawrence’s The Practice of the Presence of God.The question running through it all: Are we letting Scripture shape our worship—or letting our worship music shape our theology?Originally recorded for Nephilim Death Squad. Thank you to TopLobsta and The Raven for having us on!Should churches examine the worship set as carefully as the sermon? Share your thoughts in the comments.Stay Berean.
