Miracles & AtheistsM&A071 - Inauthentic Christians and Atheists (Movie-Making w/ Niel Guilarte) Capturing ON FILM the genuine moment an atheist experiences the power of God for the first time…is this even possible? Will it be authentic? For many, whether believers or non-believers, it can be challenging to ascertain the authenticity of a “spiritual moment” caught on film, without questioning whether that moment was setup, or if there are alternative motives behind the experience. We can’t have that with Miracles & Atheists, and that’s one of the reasons atheists and Christians are working together to experience “so-called” miraculous events, to film these experiences. The m...2023-03-2831 min
Miracles & AtheistsM&A070 - The Moment an Atheist Experiences the Power of God (w/ Niel Guilarte & Nazach Snapp) If God Almighty exists, does He make Himself known to those who don’t believe in Him? What would it look like if an atheist were to experience the supernatural power of God for the first time? It’s a question that’s been on my mind for quite some time now, and one I’m willing to explore. If atheists are truly open to truth, and they want to experience miracles, as many of my atheist friends who come on the show claim to want, will they? If I were to invite ou...2023-03-141h 02
Miracles & AtheistsM&A069 - Skeptics: Can Man Really Control the Climate? (w/ Jason Deramo) What would happen if it were proven that “fossil fuels'' didn't come from fossils at all? What if they were created by simple chemistry within the Earth, and we weren’t actually running out of oil and natural gas? What would you do if oil deposits were filling back up after being drawn down? What if they were [gasp]...a RENEWABLE RESOURCE? Do you like your Tesla? What would you do if you found out the cost of producing lithium and cobalt for the batteries used to power your...2023-02-281h 33
Miracles & AtheistsM&A068 - A Demon Brought Me to Church (w/ Wiley Anson) For some people, it takes a supernatural encounter with a demon and projectile vomiting to turn it all around. Depression, pride, greed: gone in an instant. But what about homosexuality? If all that really exists is time and chance acting on matter, homosexuality would be no exception. People are, or they are not, right? From a materialistic, naturalist worldview, homosexual brains just fizzed in the direction of same-sex attraction, and that’s that. It’s not God’s doing, it’s just chemistry. God doesn’t even exist according to most of my atheist friends, so what does someo...2023-02-211h 15
Miracles & AtheistsM&A067 - (Pt 2) Reprogramming God’s Code: The Technology that Opens the Door for Satan to Emerge (Call-In Show w/ Jason Deramo) Is editing a person’s genes not all that big of a deal? Just stick you with a needle, remove your defects using CRISPR technology, or inject some protein compound into your cells using mRNA technology and move on, right? You would certainly get that impression by listening to guys like Yuval Noah Harari and Klaus Schwab. They talk of things like the “4th industrial revolution,” and changing your “identity,” and changing “who you are,” the fact that this isn’t a mainstream topic of conversation says a lot about our media in 2023. They also t...2023-02-1443 min
Miracles & AtheistsM&A066 - (Pt 1) Reprogramming God’s Code: Is Human Genetic Engineering a Good Thing? (Call-In Show w/ Jason Deramo)Do you want your baby with blue or hazel eyes? Order now, and you’ll save 10% on gene therapy with this special offer! 25 years ago, the idea that babies could be altered genetically for the purpose of correcting mutations or even specifying preferred genetic traits or skills was merely fantasy. This technology, and the ramifications of such a world were portrayed in detail by the 1997 movie, Gattaca. Yet, in 2023 fantasy is quickly becoming reality. Human Genetic Engineering, using CRISPR and other programmable systems to target stretches of genetic code and edit DNA at precise locations is very d...2023-02-0747 min
Miracles & AtheistsM&A065 - (Pt 2) A New Eye! Did God Do It? (w/ Jon Farmer and Jordan Stewart)Jon Farmer gave a miraculous testimony of how his daughter received a NEW EYE from God. Jon told his story to our atheist friend, Jordan Stewart, at our live public podcast event in Raleigh, NC! If you haven’t listened to Part 1 yet, then you missed Jon’s story. So before you listen to Part 2, make sure you go back and check out the first part of this fascinating conversation! Part 2 dives deeper into the realm of why God created us and the world and why He did it the way He did it. We'll attempt to answer que...2023-01-3149 min
Miracles & AtheistsM&A064 - (Pt 1) A New Eye! Did God Do It? (w/ Jon Farmer and Jordan Stewart)If there is a God, do you believe He could create a new eye? If your child was born without a fully functional eye, an eye of abnormal size and shape, would you pray? Would you expect your prayers to make a difference? But what if they did? What if your child’s eye was recreated? That’s our guest Jon Farmer’s testimony, and what we’ll be diving into on this presentation of The Miracles & Atheists Podcast! Also joining us was another interesting guest, atheist/skeptic Jordan Stewart, who we welcome dto ask the t...2023-01-2442 min
Miracles & AtheistsM&A063 - Censorship, Free Speech and The Church (w/ Jason Deramo & Special Guest Jeff Kliewer)What does the Bible say about freedom of speech? Is there anything spiritual behind online censorship? If so, what should the Church do about it? What should YOU do about it? In a time when tolerance is celebrated and Christians who stand on Biblical principles are ridiculed and shadowbanned, it seems like there are very few who stand up and speak truth. Jeff Kliewer, author of Blood-Red Church: How Redemption Colors our Politics, believes that the redeemed of the Lord do, in fact, have a responsibility to stand...2023-01-171h 25
Miracles & AtheistsM&A062 - What’s Really Going on with Ukraine? (w/ Jason Deramo and Special Guests “Puck” and ObjectivelyDan)Russia is bad, Ukraine is good. That’s what they tell us. People are scared of Russia; we hear of more Russian missile strikes and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy continues to call for more international assistance. He recently said “the more audacious and cruel Russian terror becomes, the more obvious it is to the world that helping Ukraine to protect the sky is one of the most important humanitarian tasks for Europe.” So is that the deal? Are we witnessing a classic power play of a tyrannical dictator to seize territory, or… Is there something else going o...2022-12-292h 06
Miracles & AtheistsM&A061 - Examine Yourself: Atheist Challenges to ChristiansIs there anything a Christian could say to an atheist to convince them that Jesus rose from the dead to save them from their sins? It depends, right? Or, does it? Nick goes through some of the top problems many atheists have with Christians, why Christians should care, and what you can do to examine yourself… If you proclaim to follow Christ, have you ever examined yourself? What do you believe about Jesus, and why do you believe it? Anna Jackson wrote a powerful, sobering article about this self-examination that you’ll find interesti...2022-12-1630 min
Miracles & AtheistsM&A060S - Election Week & Atheists (Season 2 Short)Midterm elections? They’re just gonna cheat anyway so why bother heading to the polls, right? Wrong! Some believe we’re in a spiritual war. As we begin our transition to Season 2 of Miracles & Atheists, we’ll be exposing our community to movements and agendas that you won’t see from the mainstream media. There’s solid evidence out there revealing the anti-God agenda behind some of the things we see, and the policies that come out of this year’s midterm elections are NO EXCEPTION. There’s a time for silence, and today ain’t it. ...2022-11-0851 min
Miracles & AtheistsM&A059S - Transhumanism: You’ll Own Nothing and Be Happy (Season 2 Short)Could you imagine owning NOTHING and being happy? Yeah, me neither. There’s an interesting video and article that the World Economic Forum (WEF) put out in 2016 called, “8 Predictions for the World in 2030” which served as a compilation of the WEF’s agenda, "prophesied" by their own sorcerers and soothsayers, whom they call their Global Future Councils. Interestingly enough, these predictions would seem to be coming to pass right before our eyes, six years later. Is this fulfilled prophecy? Hardly… The predictions of these false prophets are being pushed into fruition by as much demonic force as deemed...2022-09-2731 min
Miracles & AtheistsM&A058S - Transhumanism: Maintain Humanity Under 500,000,000 (Season 2 Short)Ever heard of the Georgia Guidestones? In Elbert County, GA six granite slabs weighing nearly ¼-million tons were erected in 1980. Oddly enough, not many Americans know about this monument, I call it an alter, but many who do refer to the stones as “American Stonehenge.” The monument's creators believed that there was going to be an upcoming social, nuclear, or economic calamity and they wanted the monument to serve as a guide for humanity in the world which would exist after it. Sounds like a noble endeavor, right? How about we read the message fi...2022-08-0822 min
Miracles & AtheistsM&A057S - Transhumanism: Artificial Wombs, a Monopoly on Reproduction? (Season 2 Short)Are artificial wombs a good thing? There seem to be multiple drivers for pushing forward in this field of science: preventing neonatal mortality, saving mothers who die during birth, giving transgenders and same-sex couples non-surrogate options for having children…I can wrap my head around these types of motivations but my gut is telling me there’s something else going on here. What would you find if you peel back the LGBTQ layers and get to the heart of the matter? Who will have access to this technology? Are there countries out there who have reproductive restrictions, even fo...2022-07-2213 min
Miracles & AtheistsM&A056S - Transhumanism: Creating Immortality in a Laboratory (Season 2 Short)What would you say if I told you there are scientists out there who are working to create immortality in a laboratory? Would you believe me if I said there are people who believe they can literally cheat death, reverse aging and live FOREVER on this earth, but in order to do this, they would need to become another species, one that is no longer human, but transhuman. To use their terminology, not humans, but no longer sapiens. Why sapiens? We’ll get into that later. It’s really not difficult to find evidence to support these outrag...2022-06-2109 min
Miracles & AtheistsM&A055 - Season One Finale! Getting More Controversial and Exposing DarknessIt only took 2 YEARS but Season One of The Miracles & Atheists Podcast is riding off into the sunset! It’s time to take it up a notch, it’s time to get MORE uncomfortable. We’re going to be talking about things that will get a guy kicked off YouTube or Facebook, things that will cause the “fact-checkers” to spread more lies…and it all comes down to an ANTI-GOD NARRATIVE. We talk about where we’re taking Miracles & Atheists and break some surprising news to our community. Season Two will dive into not only uncomfortable conversations about faith and re...2022-06-0753 min
Miracles & AtheistsM&A054 - Hellfire Campus Preachers and Skeptic Rebuttals (w/ Angel Garcia)Angel Garcia was supernaturally taken to Hell. We give the skeptics a chance to weigh in. We also poll a college student to get his take on how the hellfire campus preachers are typically received. Moreover, if a person wants to breach the topic of hell, how should they do it? No one really likes to think about Hell, let alone talk about it. That’s why we do it here on Miracles & Atheists. We’re into hosting uncomfortable conversations…not because we get a rise out of it, because they’re important! We hope you enjoy the...2022-05-2457 min
Miracles & AtheistsM&A053 - Ask Me About Hell. I’ve Been There. PUBLIC PODCAST (w/ Angel Garcia)What do you want to know about Hell? What if you could ask someone who’s actually seen the real deal? Is it really as bad as you’ve heard? Why does it exist? How is hell fair? What kind of people end up there and why? Our last public podcasting event was at NC State University, where we met Angel Garcia. Angel didn’t plan to tell us about how Jesus showed him the depths of hell but he felt compelled to share his story. Angel was about to commit suicide. With a gun to his head, J...2022-05-1052 min
Miracles & AtheistsM&A052 - We were ROCKED by this Supernatural Story (LIVE from NC State University)As we were coming to the end of our public podcasting time at NC State campus, an unexpected guest showed up to the broadcast. His name is Angel Garcia… He ROCKED us with an incredible story about a supernatural vision he had over 30 years ago, where he was sent to the depths of Hell. How do you respond to something like this? What do you do with the rest of your day? Angel’s story was powerful and sobering, so powerful that we invited him back on the podcast for another live on-campus even...2022-04-2641 min

Miracles & AtheistsM&A050 - The Story of Jesus is NOT Unique (says an atheist called Ron) PUBLIC PODCAST EVENTFilms such as Zeitgeist and Religulous make incredible claims that Jesus is just another version of Mithra, Egyptian god Horus and others from pagan mythology. This is exactly what our atheist friend Ron, challenged the M&A Team with at the Raleigh Market during our public podcasting event w/ David and Lydia Warpoole. Ron is passionate about social justice and is rightfully disgusted with the state of the world. He says if there is a God, why isn’t He stepping in to do something about all this evil?

Miracles & AtheistsM&A047 - Is There Freedom in Atheism? (w/ Marlon Katsigazi & Dylan Savant)Is there freedom in atheism? Where does a sense of right and wrong come from? These are some of the interesting questions we address as we get back into our PUBLIC PODCASTING event with Christian evangelist and deliverance minister, Marlon Katsigazi and budding atheist apologist, Dylan Savant. In Part 2, you’ll get to hear Dylan’s take on people who condemn others who don’t share their personal worldview, and whether Dylan feels more freedom now that he’s renounced his Christian upbringing. We’ll also get into the “love of God” and the archetype of a demon. Pay a...2022-02-1545 min

In fact, he claims to do it often. So what better way to understand what’s going on than to allow our atheist guest, Dylan Savant, ask him tough questions about demons and deliverance? Miracles & Atheists is back to podcasting IN PUBLIC at The Raleigh Market, North Carolina's Largest Flea Market and we love to be challenged. You’ll have the pleasure to join Nick and Marcus with our special guests, Christian Marlon Katsigazi and atheist Dylan Savant as we unpack questions...2022-02-0158 min
Miracles & AtheistsM&A045 - Are Lack of Spiritual Experiences Due to Individual Failures? (w/ Vi La Bianca)Our atheist guest, Vi La Bianca asked, “how do you know what God’s heart is if what we are all experiencing collectively, probably isn’t it.” What a good question! Vi agrees that we (as a society) are not looking at Christianity in the way that it was originally intended to be looked at…as we continue to review Letter to a Christian Nation, by Sam Harris, it becomes more glaringly obvious that Sam Harris is raising concerns about theology that isn’t on point with how Jesus intended his Church to operate in the world. In Part 2 of...2022-01-1843 min

Today we’ll get to the second half of our provocative conversation with Ex-Vampire, Ex-Satanist, Ex-Wicca, Dr. Bill Schnoebelen, and popular atheist YouTuber, Eric D. Murphy. What a conversation this has proven to be…people have taken a serious interest. It was an intense dialog and frankly, we're not entirely sure what to do with a lot of the things we discussed. We covered some serious ground not related to modern-day vampirism, but also real-life werewolves and the idea of a flat earth! Before you...2021-12-2148 min
Miracles & AtheistsM&A042 - Ex-Satanist with Atheist, Pt 1 of 2 (w/ Eric D. Murphy and Dr. Bill Schnoebelen)A skeptic’s ears could perk up when they hear that an ex-satanist has never talked to an atheist. The last time Dr. Bill Schnoebelen was on Miracles & Atheists we talked about Halloween, and Dr. Bill made the statement that he’s never really talked to an atheist before. We thought it was an interesting statement considering the vast number of groups he’s been involved with through the years, so it was a good idea to invite him back on the podcast and connect him with an atheist. So here we are, with atheist Eric D. Murphy. 2021-12-141h 00

We challenged our guests to describe their own experience with miracles...and we did it LIVE and in public at North Carolina’s largest flea market, with Monica Perez-Burnett and Isaac Leeward. Monica Perez-Burnett is a wife, mom of 8 (including 2 sets of twins), and a business coach with 29 years of experience in various industries.

This was a sobering, horrifying moment for our guest, “Broken Catholic” Joseph Warren. We talked about his experience in this moment, and we unpack as much as we can about Catholicism, a faith many evangelical Christians don’t focus on, or really understand. Joseph’s story is absolutely amazing. He had all the things this world says you should have: money, success, women and an automated business that required only two hrs per week of his time. Yet, despite al...2021-09-071h 22
Miracles & AtheistsM&A033 - Evolution, Creation or Mockery (w/ Tim Chaffey & Jason Williams)Can you believe in evolution? Evolutionists say no...Creationists say absolutely, yes. Evolution seems to be the atheist’s linchpin. Evolutionary discussion under the guise of anything other than fact, is a deal breaker. So what happens when a believer offers such a claim? Well, episode 033 happens: the good, the bad, and the ugly. We invited Young-Earth Creationist, Tim Chaffey from Answers in Genesis on the podcast to give us his perspective. Tim is the content manager for the Attractions Division of Answers in Genesis. An apologist with a passion for training young people, he speaks regularly at the...2021-08-241h 10

Let’s not talk about being masters of the Universe, but masters of the Earth. “Dominion” is a controversial topic among certain denominations of the Christian church; some even call it heretical. So who has the power? Co-Hosts Nick Snapp and Marcus Plating get deep into this topic because of all the questions and comments they get from atheists about the problem of evil and why, to secular humanists, God doesn’t seem to be doing anything about it. It’s all related to the concept of dominion, an...2021-07-2756 min
Miracles & AtheistsM&A030 - Why Did God Want Them Dead? (w/ Bob O’Connell & Aaron Chappell)Does the Bible really mean what it says, or is something else going on? Does “kill both man and woman, infant and nursing child” literally mean to kill them, or does it mean something else? How can one reconcile the literal interpretation of the Word of God with a conceptual interpretation? Is this a dangerous practice? We had an excellent dialog among very different world views, even highlighting significant differences between followers of Jesus. We talk about all these things and more between an atheist and three Christians. Robert (Bob) O’Connell, is an award winning...2021-07-131h 24

Perry talked recently with atheist Boris Ekner on our last event, answering tough questions about God and whether He is really good.

(#theMAC) Our first guest representing the atheist position is Boris Ekner, a native of Sweden who currently lives with his wife in Guatemala and has been since 2010. Boris has no belief in any supernatural occurrences whatsoever, and he was interested in being on The Miracles & Atheists Podcast after listening to Episode 019 with Jason Stray Cat Williams and Robby Graham.

She is the author of The Hell Conspiracy and Encountering Heaven, Laurie has had multiple visions of Heaven, and she’s had a horrifying eye-witness account of Hell.

This time we pull out all the stops and talk about real-life mermaids, vampires and shape-shifters! If you want to know why the devil cares so much about you going to hell, you’ll want to hear the rest of our conversation. Ashley Sanders runs MadFam Music and is a critical religious skeptic and comedian who makes sure pastors and religious leaders are preaching the life they claim.

Miracles & AtheistsM&A024 - Agents of Satan, Pt.1 (w/ Patrick Wandera & Ashley Sanders)Our demon-fighting, witch-doctor battling friend, Pastor Patrick Wandera is back on the podcast, to tell us more about his outrageous first-hand experiences in Uganda, with real-life agents of satan. Also back is our friend Ashley Sanders, representing the atheist world view, who personally has some burning questions for Pastor Patrick and the witch doctors he deals with.

Miracles & AtheistsM&A023 - The Guy’s Nose Grew Back! (w/ Nicole & Gavin Welch)The guy’s nose grew back? That’s just crazy talk...or is it? Most of us would like to believe God will make someone’s limb grow back, but it’s so far outside anything we’ve ever imagined that it’s unbelievable. We don’t even want to think about something so outrageous. It’s particularly hard to stomach if you don’t believe God exists at all. Then what do you do? You start talking about salamanders and rationalizing the gap in your world view. Well prepare yourselves for this one Miracles & Atheists Community (MAC...2021-04-201h 04
Miracles & AtheistsM&A022 - There’s No Evidence for Your Christian God (w/ Jeruss Harrison)When someone posts a thought-provoking question on social media that’s NOT actually riddled with superficiality, the responses can be all over the board. Some get uncomfortable and all you get is crickets, others get nasty, and then maybe, just maybe a bit of wisdom shines though. If you listen to Miracles & Atheists, you already know we don’t like baseless rhetoric, regardless of where it comes from: Christian or atheist. So when I go through comments on a post that says, “Biggest beef with Christianity...go 👇” I typically weed through A LOT of scoffing and mockery, almost always f...2021-04-061h 07
Miracles & AtheistsM&A021 - The Devil’s War for Your Mind (w/ Carol Lynn Rivera & Connie Lawson)We’re a bit overdue in talking about supernatural experiences! I’s time to dive more into demon possession, oppression, or suppression, whatever you want to call it...some say it’s just the way the mind works. Others say it’s spiritual warfare. Either way, it’s not fun, and if demonic oppression is real, it’s not from God. We welcome Connie Lawson, host of the Weeds Seeds and Beautiful Things podcast, a hard, hope-filled, humorous show that seeks to help you walk in radical faith. Connie is a Christian speaker who has the ability to mix hard trut...2021-03-231h 19
Miracles & AtheistsM&A020 - But I’m Not Racist! (w/ Keisha Villareal and Jerome Hill, Jr.)From our many conversations with atheists, a pattern we’ve noticed is that one of the primary catalysts for a person accepting an atheistic world view is due to hypocrisy in the Church. Racism is a good example of this hypocrisy. Instead of leading the discussion, the Church as a whole has been relatively silent. From what we’ve been told, the silence is deafening. But I'm not racist! You may say... Listen for more.

Miracles & AtheistsM&A019 - Does Prayer Really Work? (w/ Robby Graham & Jason “Stray Cat” Williams)Do people really still think prayer works? Aren’t we more civilized these days, than having to rely on prayer to get things done? We already have sufficient evidence for why things happen, but none for God, right? Today you’re in for a philosophical treat. We get to talk to our atheist friend, Jason “Stray Cat” Williams, who says prayer is a “hot button” for him, not to mention a waste of time. On the flip side, we introduced Jason to a “prayer warrior,” Mr. Robby Graham, who believes prayer is probably the best use of time anyone could s...2021-02-231h 07
Miracles & AtheistsM&A018 - Demons & Witch Doctors (w/ Drew Smith & Patrick Wandera)Would you believe a cannibal man lost his VAMPIRE teeth after demons were cast out of him, and now he preaches Jesus? Maybe it’s all just a healthy dose of placebo...have a listen as we pair up Pastor Patrick Wandera, from Uganda, Africa with Genealogist and atheist, Drew Smith for an absolutely fascinating conversation. Drew has been a librarian at the University of South Florida in Tampa since 2007 and is internationally known as a genealogy speaker and writer, having written 3 books and numerous articles on the topic. Together with his husband, George G. Mor...2021-02-091h 07
Miracles & AtheistsM&A017 - Is Hell Fair?How is hell fair, really? How can eternal punishment be payment for a finite life of bad-living? Marcus Plating and Nick Snapp unpack the most common questions that have come up about the polarizing, controversial, sometimes hated topic of hell. We hope our listeners, The Miracles & Atheists Community (#theMAC) enjoy this discussion as we navigate through some of the major sticking points people have about hell, and the thought of people finding themselves in such a place.

Miracles & AtheistsM&A016 - Muslim and Atheist Hell Talk (w/Ashley Sanders and Iqbal Ali)When you bring a Muslim and an atheist together to talk about hell, well, there’s just no predicting what will come of it, with ONE exception: the conversation will be anything but dull. We welcomed Ashley Sanders, a young comedian, entrepreneur and podcast host. She’s an atheist, but grew up in the church and has read the Bible three times! Ashley was on our Miracles & Atheists livestream a few years ago and wanted to be part of the podcast again because in her words, it’s a great way promote diplomacy, which is something she believes...2021-01-121h 20
Miracles & AtheistsM&A015 - Hell Doesn’t Exist...or Does it? (w/ Illiana Villalpando)Does hell not exist because "they" added it to the Book to scare people into living a life without sin? Can we use our own "Christ consciousness" to stop time? So many interesting topics come up when you start talking about hell. The idea that any of creation would find his or herself in hell has a way of bringing a wide range of emotional topics to the surface that we're not all that used to talking about. So let's talk about em! Our guest, Illiana Villalpando is a truth-seeker and spiritual researcher w...2020-12-281h 01
Miracles & AtheistsM&A014 – Finding God in a Trap House, Losing God in College (w/Asa Leveaux & Leeroy “Cozmix” Alvarez)When you're raised in crooked religion, atheism can be quite attractive. Nick Snapp and Marcus Plating have a fascinating conversation with a couple of guys who were raised in religion, turned to atheism and then in two very different ways came to recognize the existence of a Divine Creator. Both of our guests today have been part of the LGBTQ community and have very different world views of who Jesus Christ is, and what God thinks of them. One of our guests spent time hanging with satanists and even shaved his eyebrows to become like a Buddhist mon...2020-12-151h 22
Miracles & AtheistsM&A013 - Christmas with a Side of Paganism“The time of year when Christians & atheists suspend their belief systems and come together to celebrate paganism.” -Meme, Unknown Author We’re going to have a very uncomfortable conversation about Christmas, pagan roots and symbols related to Christmas, and try to unpack to the best of our ability whether it's in a Christian's best interest to partake. It's unsettling to even question the idea, yet, if we're really truth-seekers, we should be doing whatever we can to understand why we believe what we believe, and why we celebrate what we celebrate.

Miracles & AtheistsM&A012 - From LGBTQ Atheist to Jesus Lover (BONUS! w/ Leeroy Alvarez & Doc Kennedy)When you stumble upon a good story, you don’t always have an opportunity to share it, but thank God that wasn’t the case with this one! Nick and Marcus hosted our first Miracles & Atheists Livestream as a team and decided to turn our experience into this BONUS podcast episode! Livestreams are a fun way to engage our listeners in real-time, but we really enjoy taking a step back and unpacking these types of experiences in podcast form, which is what we decided to do with Leeroy Alvarez and Doc Kennedy. Leeroy Alvarez was an LGB...2020-11-1739 min
Miracles & AtheistsM&A011 - Striking Trump Prophecies and Christians for Biden (w/ Doc Kennedy)What a wild election we’re having, right? Doesn’t even seem like we’re close to resolution. So are all the prophets wrong? Well, right or wrong, whatever ends up happening in January 2021 will send shockwaves throughout the country. Our guest today, Doc Kennedy has spent a ton of time researching prophecy about our nation, and about President Trump. Doc is a proud American and patriot. He’s a stand-up comedian out of Nashville, TN and winner of the 2019 Lea Ciastko Spirit of Comedy Award. A history buff (studying from accurate sources) Doc Kennedy’s had the honor of s...2020-11-101h 05
Miracles & AtheistsM&A010 - God and Decision 2020 (w/ The Praying Medic & Eric D. Murphy)Does God have anything to say about the 2020 Election? Does God reveal secrets to modern-day prophets about the state of a nation? Has God revealed anything to a retired paramedic who prays for people for miraculous healings? Will there be insurrection following Decision 2020? So many questions… We turn today to Dave Hayes, “The Praying Medic,” for answers, and to popular Youtube atheist, Eric D. Murphy for more questions. We could not have had two people on The Miracles & Atheists Podcast with more drastically opposing positions as we had on this episode, with Dave...2020-10-271h 20
Miracles & AtheistsM&A009 - Faith or Gullibility? (w/ Dave Jackson & Eric Wells, Pt. 2 of 2)It was a good question posed by our atheist guest, Eric Wells, that at the time, none of us had an answer for. How would you answer? Is faith in Jesus any different from faith that a Muslim martyr will have 72 virgins in the afterlife? All tough questions to wrestle with that we unpack on with Part 2 of 2 of our deep dive conversation with Eric Wells and Christian podcaster, Dave Jackson. It’s the second lookback on one of my favorite episodes, #4 from the Miracles & Atheists Livestream on Facebook 2+ years ago. Back in those days Nick used to str...2020-10-1352 min
Miracles & AtheistsM&A008 - Did God Stop a Bullet? (w/ Dave Jackson & Eric Wells, Pt. 1 of 2)Does God defy natural physics? It depends on a multitude of factors I suppose...but regardless, we have a story for you today that’ll get your supernatural guns a-blazing! When a young man and his girlfriend are held up at gunpoint and the gun fires, it’s up to you to decide whether God intervened. It’s a first on Miracles & Atheists…we’ve gone back into the ARCHIVES of the good ole’ M&A Livestream that I used to host on Facebook a few years back. I’ve personally selected one of my FAVORITE conversat...2020-09-291h 03
Miracles & AtheistsM&A007 - Burning Bibles, BLM, Covid & Sex Trafficking (w/ Ayries Blanc and Vanessa Irvin)All of our nation’s controversial topics mashed up into one miraculous conversation! We're giving you a smorgasbord of hot buttons and trigger moments, but we wouldn’t have it any other way. When we learned there were rioters in Portland burning Bibles, Nick asked the question, “why?” on social media. The answers may surprise you, so we decided to do a podcast on it. We had all intentions of staying focused on Bible burning, but then found ourselves talking about Covid, the Black Lives Matter organization, and even child sex trafficking. The conversation was intense, b...2020-09-151h 27

Murphy)So an Atheist, a Muslim, and a pair of Christians walk into a.... (you’ll have to listen for the punchline) Regardless, in this day and age, having meaningful conversations in a respectful way is not only necessary but I’d go so far as to say, it’s mandatory. That is, if the overall objective is the well being of society. Our discussion with Atheist Eric D. Murphy and Muslim Ahmad Siddiqui opened our eyes at how important it is to slow down when handling hot topics. There’s not much slowing down these...2020-09-021h 00
Miracles & AtheistsM&A005 - Now THAT’s What I Call an Atheist! (BONUS episode)Now THAT’s what I call an Atheist...and a Christian...and a Skeptic...and whatever other term can be taken out of context! The more I learn about apologetics and debate, the more I learn just how important it is to define the terms we use when having conversations. People make assumptions about what different “labels” mean to them or to others, and before we got too far into the podcast, Marcus and I thought it would be important to put out a shorter, bonus episode with the sole purpose of defining as many terms that we pla...2020-08-1823 min
Miracles & AtheistsM&A004 - Return of the Apathist (w/ Rhett Hall, Pt 2 of 2)The last time you heard from Rhett Hall, he did his best to poke holes in your host’s personal stories of what they claim to be miraculous events. This time, we talk in depth about Rhett’s troubled church history and why he doesn’t, or maybe never did, believe in God. The conversation gets a little spicy as we dive into things like “the church machine” and church leaders who don’t necessarily model what it means to follow Jesus. Rhett Hall is a self-taught graphic designer and digital artist, and the owner of Lethal Branding, a full service design bu...2020-08-111h 12
Miracles & AtheistsM&A003 - Atheist Pokes Holes in Miracle Stories (w/ Rhett Hall, Pt 1 of 2)It was a little uncomfortable being in the hot seat, but that’s what it’s all about on Miracles and Atheists. If we’re real truth-seekers, we shouldn’t be afraid to let someone challenge our supernatural claims, and that’s EXACTLY what we let our atheist friend, Rhett Hall do on this episode. Rhett is a self-taught graphic designer and digital artist, and the owner of Lethal Branding, a full service design business centered around brand identity and continuity. His belief stems from the notion that the teachings of the prophets can be good and useful, without there being a divi...2020-07-281h 08
Miracles & AtheistsM&A002 - Stories of the SupernaturalIs there no such thing as a miracle? What type of event would you consider a miracle? In this second episode of The Miracles and Atheists Podcast, you’ll get a unique perspective on the miraculous from the hosts of the show, Nick Snapp and Marcus Plating. They take some time to share their own personal stories of what they would consider miraculous events, witnessed first-hand. They’re also inviting atheists, skeptics and whoever is interested, to challenge them on these "so-called-supernatural" experiences. Surely there’s a natural explanation for these experiences, and we’re going to allow the M&A audience to...2020-07-1452 min
Miracles & AtheistsM&A001 - Welcome to Miracles & AtheistsUnpacking the tension between different world views of the supernatural. It’s been a long time in the making, but the Miracles & Atheists podcast is officially LIVE on this Independence Day, 2020. It seems ironic with all that’s going on in the world at the present moment, to launch a show dedicated to facilitating civil discourse between different world views, especially related to religion and spirituality. Most would agree there is very little civil discourse going on in the United States. The focus of the world is on division: emotions grow strong and tension becomes crippling. The Miracles & Atheists podcast is comin...2020-07-0440 min
