“Christians” make everything taboo?
Do you think the scientific and supernatural play a part in everyday Christian life?
Do you believe the Church is on life support refuses to engage with God culture on an honest level?
YOURE.NOT.ALONE
Church rarely allows us to discuss questions of real spiritual life or paranormal that interact with our world.
So, let’s confront the behemoths.

In this clip, Ricky discusses the potentiality of everything being alive. LITERALLY EVERYTHING.

Aliens. We've been dancing around this topic ALL of 2023. NOW. IS. THE. TIME. TO. TOUCH. ON. THIS. SUBJECT.
How should we go about this? Well, we wanted to take it from the approach of portals... Why portals? Well, portals seem to be very closely related to paranormal phenomena. Aliens seem to teem around the paranormal. They seem to coincide with is. The correlation is strong; REALLY STRONG. We've been dealing with portals for the last 3 months and now is truly the time to touch on this reality. This is being released now, but was recorded right at the end of 2023. Today we dive in head first to talk about what we believe the alien phenomenon to be, and not to be. Join us on this wild (extended) episode of "Aliens & Stargates"

How old are portals? How old are Stargates? Did the Ancients have them? The more we research in modern culture, the more we find they clearly did. The question here is, what is our understanding of the portals/Stargates?
Countless prehistoric cultures recount their interaction with "Star People," "Star Travelers," and even "Star Ancestors!" What a peculiar phenomenon! Or is it?...
Today we deep dive into portals of antiquity and mystery. We ask questions as to what exactly portals are and/or can be? Are there Stargates- Theoretical Einstein-Rosen bridges? The evidence in favor of such things may surprise you. However, what may also suprise you is the way their existence seems to always tie into the supernatural or the paranormal. Portals don't seem divorce-able from science. Any yet, they also don't seem divorce-able from spirituality.
What should we make of all this?! Come find out on this second to last year's episode of The Christian Theological Dark Web Podcast: "Did the Ancients Have Stargates?"

The Ancient land of Israel; it was long ago promised to the Hebrews journeying out of Egypt after four centuries of captivity by their singular sovereign deity: YHWH (Yahweh). The Israelites were commissioned by their God to drive out the hybrid giants from these lands, that the giants had been inhabiting, and so take them as their own. Thus they battled demigods, demonically empowered humans, giants and many other feats unimaginable, in order to obtain their lands. As they moved into these new lands, they were commanded not to follow other nations' practices or beliefs. Just as all humans fail, so too did the Jews. They adored other gods not their own, and adopted practices that God had forbidden them. So deep was their waywardness that God eventually led them into captivity, and then exile! Slowly, they were scattered throughout the earth and reviled by countless nations and peoples for many centuries. But then, just as had been prophesied by the prophet Jeremiah, the Jews were regathered into their own land-- the land of Israel. In 1948, the British gave the land of Israel that they had seized back the Jews, thus fulfilling the prophet's words. In recent years, and since it's establishment, The country of Israel has been the constant focus of a barrage of attacks and violence. So, with so much suffering that the Jews have endured, one might ask, "Is Israel still important to God?" This is a fair and understandable question.

Who is Kat Von D? If you grew up watching cable at any time in the early 2000s-2010s, this is no mystery. She is the cool, gothic-dressing tattoo artist from Miami Ink and LA Ink. She is an icon for people of the underground.
In the past month or so, she has come out very publicly talking about her faith in Jesus, and her baptism video she posted on Instagram.
Her change has sent waves through the culture. While many people were extremely happy for her in her decision, there were undoubtedly trolls that would appear and give her grief.
The problem? Most of those trolls are Christians!!! (Maybe I should say, "Christians?")
This has stirred up some much needed discussion about synchretism in the broader church culture, and a need for many ill-informed Christians to confront their reality- Do these, so-called, Christians truly believe in unity in diversity as Christ told them to live?

WATER. It is a simple enough elemental liquid that we give almost no real thought to. Yet, this substance literally gives life. Some say that there is more than meets the eye with this common elixir. Some say it holds the ability to remember. Some say it is a deity. Others say that it is a spiritual activator and force. Still others say that it is a portal itself. There are even those that believe it can be imbued with the power to grant eternal youth! Of course, there are also those say that all this kind of talk is rubbish and nonsense.
Today, however The Christian Theological Dark Web takes a deep look at the scientific, anecdotal, and spiritual nature of water. Does it hold memory? Is is a living being? Is it sentient? Can it heal and rejuvenate? Is it a portal? All these questions more on this week's episode titled, "Sacred Waters. (Part 2)"
This episode is part 2 of 2. Just in time for Thanksgiving if you're here in the US!
God Bless, Shalom-shalom, and Maranatha!

Welcome to Episode 2 of the Portals Saga - Ceremonies, Rituals, Times & Alignments. Many Christians in our modern age frequently synchronistically conflated the western materialist veil with the clear reality of thin places- found and expressed in other cultures' texts; but also found very clearly in the Bible itself. While this idea has gained more acceptance amongst those in the West in more recent years, it is often misguided and mixed with many other esoteric traditions and understandings. Today, with SamHain (seemingly Halloween) right around the corner, we explore Ceremonies, Rituals, Times & Alignments. Every culture has these things. Even in Western materialist culture the bleed-over seems to occur right around this holiday. So, as The Christian Theological Dark Web, we are dutifuly bound to take this topic on head first! Question: Should we deny or ignore these types of sacred rites and ceremonies? Absolutely NOT! Let's deal with them here, today!
Many Christians in our modern age frequently synchronistically conflate the western materialist veil with the clear reality of thin places— found and expressed in other cultures’ texts; but also found very clearly in the Bible itself!
While this idea has gained more acceptance amongst those in the West in more recent years, it is often misguided and mixed with many other esoteric traditions and understandings.
Today we are further exploring sacred mountains. Both those that are sacred to the Judeo-Christian religious worldview, as well as those that are not.
Mountains have long stood as a place to meet with the gods and the divine. This is true across all traditions. This, of course, makes perfect sense— mountains are the closest places on earth to the heavens. In fact, this proximity was the purpose of all Ziggurats, as well.
In today’s episode, we uncover some ideas and concepts around mountains and their importance to many cultures around the world in relation to the heavenly. This is the second part of 2 due to the quantity of information we discovered. Come find out why mountains hold so much significance to us even today on this 2nd part of this episode of The Christian Theological Dark Web.
