This the second episode in The Gospel Foretold series. This episode will conclude the book of Genesis, which we broke into two episodes. The aim of the Old Testament scriptures was to anticipate or point forward to the coming of the Messiah, and it accomplished through various types, foreshadows, design patters and prophesies.

We are starting a new series, which we're calling: The Gospel Foretold. Each book of the Bible contains multiple illusions to the good news of Jesus Christ. We see, from the very words of Jesus contained in Luke 24, that all the Scriptures point to Him. In this series we will briefly summarize the various stories and sections of each book that containing typological significance. This is part 1 of our diagnosis of the first book of the Old Testament, Genesis.

This is the third and final part of this series. In this episode we discuss the Nephilim, who are characters who appear in the Old Testament Bible and are sometimes referred to as giants. We tackle how an ancient Israelite would have seen these strange hybrid characters, and why it's important for us to set aside our modern sensibilities and to be sincere with what the Bible presents. Secondarily we discuss the special way that the doctrine of the Trinity is demonstrated by the concept of the two YHWHs who appear in the OT scriptures: the heavenly YHWH and the local YHWH who appears often times as a man.

In this episode of the show the podcast hosts jump into the doctrine of Angelology, and discuss how the bible compares and contrasts spiritual beings with God himself. Spiritual beings are called "gods" in the Old Testament, and yet consistently the Bible confesses that there is only one God. Is this a contradiction? Join us as we discuss the details surrounding the unseen realm.

In this episode the hosts discuss what the Bible teaches regarding God's sovereignty and man's responsibility, what they're calling an "Antinomy". Though both of these truth claims seem to contradict, both are mysteriously true according to scripture. Join the hosts as they conduct a brief survey of each claim, and work through the tension inherent by this paradox.

Liquid Death is a water and beverage company that the hosts of the show often drank and even displayed on camera in past episodes. However, the hosts of the show no longer support the business because of the company's marketing tactics, which employ dark magic and occult like imagery.
Join the show as the hosts discuss some of these tactics in light of the Biblical worldview, and work through the role the conscience plays in the life of a believer.

In this episode we have special guest Chris Thomas. Chris was invited onto the show to share the story of his weight loss journey, which he credits entirely to the Lord as an act of grace. Today's show isn't about following certain diet trends or work out routines, but a discussion about the bigger issues at play when it comes to food related sins. We discuss the topics of gluttony, conviction and reliance upon God's in our lives. Sometimes the way the good Lord works is not through the means we expect, but we are non the less called to trust and obey.

This is the final episode in our Snapshots in church history series. In this show we have our Pastor and friend Will Cornell on to teach us about the followers of Christ in the Colonies before the revolution. The atmosphere of early America was Christian in flavor, and it was embraced by the general public and even confessed in the various charters of the Colonies. The time leading up to the revolution had faithful Christians on opposite sides of the debate, with both quoting scripture and appealing to the stories of the Bible. Join us as we summarize the story God told in the great American experiment.

In this episode we continue our series of Snapshots in Church History. For this episode we are focusing on the era immediately following the time of the completion of the New Testament. Christianity didn't become popular in Roman society until the early 4th Century when Emperor Constantine rose to power. His conversion marks one of the major shifts in Church History. Before that, however, Christians found themselves in the throes of Pagan Rome. In this ep we attempt to paint the picture of what life was like for some of the very first followers of Jesus, and the hardships the church faced as the Christian faith spread. There's a surprising amount of cross over between then and now.

We're back! Sorry for the unannounced pause in show releases. Life got busy, and recording got pushed aside. To accommodate for our generally busy schedules, and because of the time it takes to prep and edit shows, we have decided as a team to release an episode once a month moving forward. We'll now start to release an episode on the first Thursday of each month.
On today's episode of Shadowcast Radio we discuss what Christianity was like during the time of Nazi occupied Germany. In simple terms, there was good, and there was much bad. There was some faithfulness, but a lot of compromise. From the bold few like Bonhoeffer, to the multitudes of Christians singing hymns to drown out the noises of trains carrying Jews to concentration camps, the time of the rise of the Third Reich is a humble tale in Church history, and it's one we cannot ignore. History is doomed to repeat itself when we fail to learn from the past. Join us as we discuss the landscape of Christianity under one of the harshest regimes in world history, Hitler's Germany.

On this episode the guys discuss the topic of social media, and the relationships children have with these kinds of platforms.

On this episode of Shadowcast Radio the guys discuss the doctrine of the perseverance of the saints. This is an important topic to discuss in light of the large-scale deconstruction movement happening in the West. Can a Christian once they are saved lose their salvation?

We encourage all listeners of Shadowcast Radio to open up their Bibles and explore this doctrine on their own. Below are some of the important verses we address in the show.

In this episode we have Andrew Kneeland join us, our long time creative contributor and fill-in host for the show, to discuss to topic of music and the way this art form fits within a Biblical framework. Music has the powerful ability to communicate mood and tell stories, and we argue that in a wordless way intrinsically tells the story of the scripture. Join us as we discuss some of our favorite bands/songs, work through the classification of the "Christian" genre, and discuss the theological basis for approaching music.

In this episode, the guys come together to discuss the Biblical story of the Tower of Babel, and how the curse seen in that story is paralleled in many ways to the problems we see in society today. When proud and arrogant societies arise God is swift to execute judgement, and in the end He accomplishes His purposes. Join the guys as they discuss the adverse effects of the Babel curse in modern society, and how the Gospel ultimately undoes the curse of Babel.

Welcome to part 4 in our theme study. In this episode we will be talking about water, and specifically how we see water used scripturally within the context of judgement and also within the context of salvation, which we call the water of life. Both reflections of this one thematic image pervade all scripture from beginning to end, and like every good theme culminates in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Join us as we dive into the scriptures and learn about how God uses water to tell the story of the gospel.

Welcome to part 3 in our themes study. In this episode we discuss the theme of trees in the Bible. When trees appear in scripture, we're tempted to just see them as mere details in the story. Our argument, however, is that is most certainly not the case. Trees play important roles in the story of the Bible and play a significant role in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Join us as we dive into the Old and New Testaments and discuss the theology behind the imagery of trees.

This is the second part, but third episode, in our new themes study. In this episode we discuss the theme of wilderness in scripture. Throughout the Bible there are multiple stories where the author wants to depict spaces where human life does not flourish. These are the chaos spaces or "wilderness" places, which are adverse to the ordered world humanity needs in order to live. The great surprise of the theme is that in God's loving kindness He chooses to enter those spaces to rescue His people. During these moments in the stories we see the workings of the Gospel message being worked out before Jesus arrives on the scene to perform His grand Exodus as our new Moses.

In this episode we trace the theme of fire throughout scripture. Fire is an important image that appears in the early parts of scripture and get's developed throughout the Bible. We see it in Eden, in the priestly duties, in judgement moments, and even in the spiritual beings. The theme culminates in the person and work of Jesus. Join us as we discuss how the fiery moments of scripture help to inform the Gospel message.

In this episode we have special guest Timothy Brindle on to discuss the Old Testament book of Jonah. For those who grew up in the church, Jonah and the "Whale" is a classic story told and retold throughout our lives. It's tempting to think we understand the book's meaning because of its familiarity, but the key to correct interpretation is seeing Christ in the story. Join us as we discuss with Tim the various themes that help to illuminate this particular minor prophet, and how Jesus is the better Jonah.
Timothy Brindle has been making Christ-centered hip-hop since 2003 in which he uses lyricism to expound the truth of Jesus in Scripture. His most recently released album and its corresponding book, The Unfolding, was written to show how the entire Bible is God's one unfolding plan of redemption in Christ.

For today's show we have special guest Israel Wayne on the podcast to discuss the topic of schooling from a Biblical perspective. To the surprise of many Christians in modernity, the Bible isn't neutral when it discusses education. Most succinctly put, Proverbs 22:6 says: "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it."
In this episode we want to make a Christian case for homeschooling. Our heart behind to episode is to lovingly challenge one other to think Biblically about this controversial matter, and to do it with patience and charity. Let us always be willing to reform our views so that they are in alignment with scripture.
Israel Wayne is an author and conference speaker and Director of Family Renewal. He and his wife, Brook, are raising their eleven children in SW Michigan. Israel has a passion for defending the Christian faith and promoting a Biblical worldview. He is the author of the books Questions God Asks,Questions Jesus Asks, Pitchin’ a Fit: Overcoming Angry and Stressed-Out Parenting,Education: Does God Have an Opinion? and Answers for Homeschooling: Top 25 Questions Critics Ask and Raising Them Up: Parenting for Christians.

In this episode we roped our pastor Will Cornell to discuss the three omnis of God: Omnipotence, Omniscience & Omnipresence. This is the final episode in this series related to the attributes of God. Put simply, these three attributes mean that God is all powerful, all knowing and all present. However, these basic ideas have a rich backing of Biblical testimony to help inform their meaning. Join us as we work through the specifics of each omni to arrive at a better understanding of the being of God.

In this episode our aim is to tackle the Holiness and Justice of God. What does it mean that God is holy holy holy? We believe it's impossible to understand God's Justice if we fail to recognize Him as the thrice Holy God. The one informs the other. Join us as we work through the difficult process of defining God's holiness.
The basic meaning of holy means set apart or unique, but as we meditate on some of the stories in scripture that portray holiness, we see there's much more weight to the idea than what this definition gives off. Justice at its base means equal measures. If God is truly just and holy, it means our sin against him is worthy of eternal judgement. Thankfully, the holy Son bore our punishment, and makes us right with God. The gospel becomes intermingled in God's attributes.

In this episode we address the attributes of love and jealousy. The scriptures state that God is both. Our culture tends to create poor definitions when it comes to describing these characteristics, but what can we derive from the Bible about God in light of His love and jealousy? Join us as we work through these issues biblically.

In this episode we start a new series addressing the attributes of God. We start off the show introducing the topic and its importance to the believer. In the second part of the show we address topic of the Aseity of God, which is the idea that God exists of Himself. This important aspect of God's being sets the stage for us to discuss His other attributes, which we will tackle in future episodes.

In todays episode we summarize and deal with common objections brought against the reliability of the New Testament. As Christians we should be prepared to give answers to those critiquing the holy scriptures. The transmission of the New Testament is something all Christians should be familiar with, and we hope this episode acts as an introduction to the topic of textual criticism and apologetics.
For a further deep dive into this issue, highly recommend checking out the work of Dr. James White with Alpha & Omega Ministries: https://www.aomin.org/aoblog/. The YouTube video Owen recommended can be found at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTeLO-61FAA

Unlike any Christ-less worldview or society that hopes for future utopia, Christians have the sure promise, which is sealed by the Holy Spirit, that we will dwell with Christ in the New Heavens and New Earth.

Join us as we discuss these precious truths and rejoice in the faithfulness of Christ who promises to one day bring us to himself.
