Reformed FringeReformed FringeOld to Calvin, New to HeiserIs the divine council worldview just fringe theology? Or can it actually fit within confessional Reformed categories? That’s the tension we’re pressing into in this episode. Jon Moffitt and Doug Van Dorn take on the growing pushback from some in the Reformed world who see divine council theology, popularized by Michael Heiser, as incompatible with Reformed theology and the confessions. But is that critique fair? Can you hold to historic Reformed orthodoxy and affirm that the supernatural worldview of the Bible includes a real, functioning heavenly host? Is it heretical? Or just unfamiliar? And why have so many...2025-07-2855 minReformed FringeReformed FringeJesus and Giants?Recorded live at Grace Reformed Church in Nashville, TN, this special episode features hosts Jon Moffitt and Doug Van Dorn exploring the mysterious world of Genesis 6. Together, we examine the controversial identity of the "sons of God" and the Nephilim, walking through biblical texts and early church history to weigh the natural and supernatural interpretations. We connect ancient giants to the broader biblical storyline of redemption and spiritual warfare. We unpack how New Testament writers like Peter and Jude interpret these strange events and why they matter for Christians today. Along the way, we emphasize a supernatural worldview often...2025-07-211h 30Reformed FringeReformed FringeYa, Let's Talk About Aliens!Are aliens real? Are they physical, spiritual, or something in between? In this wide-ranging conversation, Jon Moffitt and Doug Van Dorn approach the topic not as clickbait—but as pastors. With compassion, Scripture, and curiosity, they explore how Christians can think biblically about supernatural encounters, abduction stories, UFO sightings, and the growing sense that something strange is going on in our world. What if angels, demons, and the unseen realm help explain what others dismiss or mock? And how do we shepherd people who’ve experienced things they can’t explain? Whether you're skeptical or seeking, this episode invites you in...2025-07-1457 minReformed FringeReformed FringeThe Sixth Sense of Bible InterpretationIs it possible we’re missing a vital “sense” when we read the Bible? In this episode, Jon Moffitt and Doug Van Dorn explore what they call the sixth sense of biblical interpretation—a supernatural awareness grounded in Scripture itself. More than grammar and history, rightly reading the Bible requires a Christ-centered, covenantal, and cosmic lens that takes seriously the divine authorship behind the text. Drawing from six core interpretive tools—including continuity, context, and law/gospel contrast—they show how Scripture comes alive when we recover its heavenly dimension. This episode is both practical and paradigm-shifting for anyone who wants to...2025-07-0759 minReformed FringeReformed FringeWhat Happened to the Gods?Why did every ancient culture worship multiple gods—and why does it seem like they vanished? In this episode, Jon Moffitt and Doug Van Dorn explore a stunning reality: the gods never really left. From ancient paganism to modern materialism, we trace how spiritual beings—once openly worshiped—have simply gone underground, rebranding themselves in culture, media, and even religion. Drawing from Scripture, ancient history, and biblical theology, we show how the gods still influence the world today, just under new disguises.

In this episode, Jon Moffitt and Doug Van Dorn explore Clinton Manley’s Desiring God article “Do You See the Heavenly Hosts?”—a positive, re-enchanting vision of the supernatural realm. We walk through the “map of heaven” Scripture reveals: a real kingdom filled with messengers, guardians, ministers, armies, attendants, and a divine council—all centered around King Jesus. Drawing from Colossians, Psalm 82, and Isaiah 6, we challenge the materialism modern believers unknowingly breathe and invite you to set your minds where Christ is—...2025-06-2354 minReformed FringeReformed FringeChrist Was There: 20 Shocking Appearances in GenesisWas Jesus actually in Genesis? Most Christians believe Christ shows up in prophecy or type, but what if He was physically present—over and over again? In this episode, Jon Moffitt and Doug Van Dorn explore 20 stunning appearances of the pre-incarnate Christ throughout the book of Genesis. From walking in the garden, wrestling Jacob, and dining with Abraham, to commanding Noah and calling Hagar by name, we trace the embodied Son of God moving in real time through redemptive history. Using Christ’s own hermeneutic (Luke 24), we challenge the idea that Jesus is absent until the Gospels—and instead show t...2025-06-1656 minReformed FringeReformed FringeTalking to Jesus Before He Was BornCould the people of the Bible really talk with Jesus in the Old Testament?

We explore how Jesus’ baptism connects to the Old Testament consecration of priests and how believers today are clothed in Christ’s righteousness, equipped as royal priests. We challenge the common view of baptism as merely an act of repentance and discuss the spiritual confidence that comes from understanding our identity in Christ.

But, as 1 Corinthians states, "None of the rulers of this age understood this; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory." The cross was the Trojan horse into Hell that led to Christ’s ultimate victory over sin, death, and the wicked supernatural entities that ruled over this world.

[50]The New Testament writers say that Satan “blinds” the hearts and minds of those who don’t believe. What does this mean? The nature of a supernatural gospel requires a supernatural response. Our hearts are either changed by God’s grace, or hardened to reject the gospel.
