  S1E16. The Days of Noah: Genesis 6, Modern Patterns & Christ's Victory 01.03.2026 33мин

  In this final and topical episode of Series 1, we consider Genesis 6 and the ancient rebellion of the Watchers. Drawing from Joel Muddamalle’s powerful new book The Unseen Battle, we survey the three cosmic rebellions, the Nephilim, and the recurring pattern of “see, desire, take.”How does this ancient story echo in today’s unfolding headlines of exploitation and power? We map Jesus’ wilderness temptations onto these rebellions and celebrate Christ’s decisive victory over the dark powers. Combining biblical truth and gospel hope, this episode closes Series 1 and prepares us for Mark’s Gospel next week.Timestamps:0:00 – Welcome & Why This Episode Now4:10 – Genesis 6 Reading & Explanation9:25 – The Three Rebellions Framework14:50 – Watchers, Nephilim & 1 Enoch19:30 – Leviticus, Flood & Demonic Reality23:45 – Jesus’ Wilderness Temptations27:20 – Modern Patterns & Exploitation Today30:15 – Gospel Hope & Spiritual Warfare31:50 – Prayer32:40 – Closing & Next Week in Mark🎧 Apple | Spotify | Amazon | Pocket Casts £3 Patreon 'espresso' tier → bonus episodes + early access:patreon.com/cw/apewwithabrew☕ Support the brew: buymeacoffee.com/apewwithabq Keywords: Genesis 6, Days of Noah, Nephilim, Watchers, Unseen Battle, Joel Muddamalle, Michael Heiser, spiritual warfare, cosmic rebellion, divine council, fallen angels, as it was in the days of Noah, Christus Victor, biblical theology, three rebellions, Genesis 6 today, modern exploitation, sons of God, unseen realm.Music:Bye, Bye Brain! by Alexander Nakarada | https://creatorchords.comMusic promoted on https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0Scripture quotations taken from The Holy Bible, New International Version® NIV® Copyright © 1973 1978 1984 2011 by Biblica, Inc.™ Used by permission.

  S1E15. Faith Beyond Belief Part 4: The Centurion's Awe 20.02.2026 28мин

  Bible study on Matthew 27:54: Did the centurion’s confession at the cross spark true allegiance?In this finale of Faith Beyond Belief, we stand at the foot of the cross with the Roman centurion whose words — “Surely this was the Son of God” — ignite the first spark of allegiance. Through Scripture, history, and the theology of grace, we explore how revelation becomes faith. How grace acts first and allegiance follows; why the cross still calls each of us to loyalty, awe, and renewed trust.Timestamps:00:00 – Intro: The centurion who changed everything02:30 – Matthew 27:54 — the moment of confession07:10 – From pagan soldier to first Gentile witness12:40 – Grace precedes allegiance (John Barclay)18:00 – Matthew Bates: faith as enacted loyalty23:15 – The cross as ongoing call to discipleship27:30 – Series wrap-up: from belief to allegiance🔗 Full series: Search “A Pew with a Brew” on Spotify ☕ Support: buymeacoffee.com/apewwithabqLove the podcast?

  Bible study on Romans 12:2: Does faith seeking understanding deepen our allegiance to Christ?Welcome to A Pew with a Brew Episode 14, "Faith Beyond Belief Part 3: Anselm's Fire". We explore faith as fides quaerens intellectum — faith seeking understanding. Building on pistis as allegiance, we ask: How does understanding deepen our loyalty to Jesus? We examine how faith demands a renewed mind (Romans 12). We tackle declining biblical literacy and anti-intellectualism in churches, urging believers to engage Scripture, reason, and tradition to grow in maturity, with credit to R Knowles. Join us for a chat over a brew, as we uncover how seeking wisdom strengthens our allegiance to Christ.Timestamps:00:00 – Intro: Faith isn’t anti-intellectual02:40 – Fides quaerens intellectum: Anselm’s vision07:15 – Romans 12:2 — renewing the mind12:50 – Pistis + understanding = deeper allegiance18:20 – Biblical literacy crisis in 202623:45 – Scripture, reason, tradition: a balanced path🔗 Full series: Search “A Pew with a Brew” on Spotify ☕ Support: buymeacoffee.com/apewwithabqLove the podcast?

  S1E13. Faith Beyond Belief Part 2: Allegiance 23.01.2026 24мин

  Bible study on pistis: Is faith really allegiance to King Jesus — not just belief?Join us on A Pew with a Brew for Episode 13, "Faith Beyond Belief: Allegiance". Or the Foundation Of Fidelity. We discuss the biblical concept of faith as more than assent — a living, breathing allegiance to King Jesus. Exploring Greek words like pistis and pisteuo, we uncover faith as loyalty, not just belief, drawing from scholars like Matthew Bates. From Abraham’s steadfast trust to Paul’s call for obedience, we reframe the grace-versus-works debate. In a world of rival allegiances, how do we pledge loyalty to Christ? Grab a brew, settle in, and let’s explore what a vibrant, faithful life looks like today.NB The marriage-vow picture of allegiance / faithfulness is one I first heard in the Divine Council Worldview / Naked Bible circles — grateful for their insights.Timestamps:00:00 – Intro: Why “believe” isn’t enough02:50 – Pistis & pisteuo: loyalty, not just belief08:20 – Matthew Bates on faith as allegiance14:00 – Abraham’s fidelity (Genesis 15)19:30 – Paul: grace, works, and obedience24:45 – Jesus is Lord in a rival world🔗 Full series: Search “A Pew with a Brew” on Spotify ☕ Support: buymeacoffee.com/apewwithabqLove the podcast?

  S1E12. Faith Beyond Belief Part 1: Beyond Assent 14.01.2026 34мин

  Bible study on Genesis 15:6: Is faith more than mental assent — or active allegiance to God?Join A Pew with a Brew for our "Faith Beyond Belief" mini-series! We examine why faith in modern churches can sometimes shrink into mere mental assent. We explore its cultural, theological, and historical roots — from the Enlightenment to Billy Graham’s revivals. Weaving personal stories, cultural references, and Abraham’s loyalty (Genesis 15:6), we challenge the idea of faith as a checklist. With reflections from modern scholars, we invite a richer definition: faith as relational trust and active allegiance. Join us, grab your coffee, and pull up a pew.Timestamps:00:00 – Intro: When “believe” isn’t enough03:15 – Faith as mental assent: the modern trap08:40 – Enlightenment roots & sola fide14:00 – Billy Graham, revivals, and emotional faith19:30 – Genesis 15:6 — Abraham’s active trust24:45 – Faith as covenant loyalty today🔗 Full series: Search “A Pew with a Brew” on Spotify ☕ Support: buymeacoffee.com/apewwithabqLove the podcast?
