You’re living in a very weird time and weird place in human history. \nBecause we are taught to accept rational, scientific explanations for things. We’re told that if you can’t find it in a test tube or with a telescope or see it with your own two eyes, then it probably doesn’t exist. \nMost people, and perhaps even most western Christians, have absolutely no concept of a spiritual battle taking place around them at all times. No awareness of angels and demons. \nMost Christians might be aware that yeah, there are spiritual forces that exist; but they never really think about them outside of church. Once Monday morning hits, most Christians often give no more thought to the spiritual realm than your average atheist.\nI find this to be weird, and I’d like to explore what the Bible has to say about spiritual reality. \nTurn to II Kings 6, and let’s get weird.\n\n0:00 - Introduction\n1:30 - Behind-the-Scenes Code\n4:00 - Elisha and Gehazi\n8:15 - Your Eyes Can Deceive You\n13:00 - Gehazi’s Eyes Opened\n20:30 - Next Time\n22:45 - All Around Elisha\n\nIf you want to get in touch, my email is weirdstuffinthebible@gmail.com\nHosted by Luke Taylor","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/DJ0tfJ3XSg1opjzzlnBLv703XymHRviv_4zjUMvY4RU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9hZjcw/Nzk2YTExZTI1NjBl/MTZmYjkzNDViM2Q3/NWJiMS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
