## Resource

In this episode, we are joined by guest Austin Cox, also known as Shy Guy Theological Seminary. Together, we explore the intriguing topic of ghosts, their appearances in biblical stories, and cultural interpretations, especially in Eastern traditions like Japan. We delve into well-known biblical references such as the Witch of Endor and discuss their theological implications. Additionally, we touch on the nature of spirits, the concept of energy and light in the spiritual realm, and cultural practices surrounding death and the afterlife. Join us for a thoughtful and engaging conversation on this fascinating and often-misunderstood subject.
