Have you ever considered that the city you live in isn't an accident, but an active battleground? If so, what made you think so? Did you know the Bible describes actual spiritual beings assigned to specific territories and that this idea might explain why different cities seem to have their own signature strongholds?
In this episode, Dr. Joel Muddamalle breaks down "cosmic geography," the ancient concept behind it all, and reveals why the Great Commission is actually a strategic reclamation of territory. He makes the case for why Vegas, New York, and your own hometown could each be caught in a different kind of spiritual fight. Are you ready to see your everyday commute through a supernatural lens?

What if spiritual warfare is far more real, and far more active, than most Christians have been taught to believe?
In this episode we sit down with pastor, author, and speaker Jonathan "JP" Pokluda to dive headfirst into the supernatural. JP breaks down concepts from his book, Your Story Has a Villain, arguing that behind everything broken in the world, from cancer to destructive weather, there are potential demonic forces at work.
We tackle the controversial theology of possession versus oppression, how simple acts of willful, hidden sin literally give the enemy a foothold in your life, and even alien and UFOs.
Is there a such thing as over spiritualizing life? Is only some of it spiritual? Is all of it spiritual? Let us know your thoughts and experiences as you dive into this episode!

In this episode we're walking through Scripture to examine Daniel’s seventieth week, the seven seals, the seven trumpets, the Antichrist, the Tribulation, the rapture, and the return of Jesus. Be sure to comment your thoughts on the text that we cover. We would love to hear them all!
Is Revelation written chronologically? Will Christians experience the Great Tribulation? Is the Tribulation the wrath of God? Is it the wrath of Satan? How will believers be protected, and what role does Israel play in biblical prophecy?
This is a Scripture-heavy Bible study designed to move beyond fear, speculation, and headlines so we can understand what the Bible actually says. How does Daniel seem to pass the baton to John in Revelation. Grab your Bible, take notes, and study along with us.
The enemy may launch his greatest attack, but Jesus and His Church win in the end.
