## Resource

What if the Bible is far more supernatural than most Christians have ever been taught? In this episode, Tony sits down with @NilsGlenn to explore the strange and often overlooked layers of Scripture: the Nephilim, the Watchers, Genesis 6, Psalm 91, demons, spiritual warfare, and the cosmic battle running from Eden to Revelation. But Nils’ interest in the supernatural side of the Bible is not just academic. He spent years chasing the dream of soccer, only to collapse on the field when his heart suddenly failed. As doctors fought to save him, Nils says he saw himself standing in darkness until Jesus reached for him and showed him a kingdom still ahead. What followed was not a clean, easy recovery, but a painful confrontation with fear, identity, and the fragile line between life and eternity. Nils shares the story of his cardiac arrest, his second near-death scare, his love for the supernatural worldview of Scripture, and the calling he believes God placed on his life. His testimony is a sobering reminder that God can meet us at the edge of death, open our eyes to the reality behind the veil, and send us back with purpose.
