About this episode

Tony discusses the themes of Will Blesch's book, exploring biblical accounts and their relevance to modern paranormal phenomena.

What if the world before the flood was not just history, but a warning? In this episode, Tony sits down with Will Blesch to discuss his book, In the Shadow of Goliath , and the biblical framework behind topics like the Nephilim, Genesis 6, UFOs, hybridization, the Watchers, and the mark of the beast. Will shares how his early fascination with the unexplained, his time exploring the occult and New Age beliefs, and his eventual commitment to Jesus shaped the ideas that led to the book. Together, they examine whether ancient biblical accounts may offer a clearer lens for understanding modern paranormal phenomena and whether the agenda described in Genesis 6 could still be unfolding today.
