Blurry Creatures is the podcast that takes the strange, the unexplained, and the flat-out weird seriously, and asks what the Bible actually has to say about it. Every week, hosts Luke Rodgers and Nate Henry dig into the topics most people are afraid to touch. UFOs and UAPs. Cryptids and creatures. The Nephilim, the Watchers, and the sons of God. The divine council, cosmic geography, and the spiritual war happening just past the edge of our vision. Rooted in a biblical framework, the show pulls ancient texts, real witness testimony, and honest questions into the same conversation. This is not fringe for the sake of fringe. It is graduate-level theology, academic discussion, and real-world testimony made for regular people, with room for wonder, a healthy dose of humor, and a refusal to pretend the supernatural stopped being real. Whether you are a lifelong believer, a curious skeptic, or someone who has seen something you cannot explain, there is a seat for you here. Come for the mystery. Stay for the truth that holds it all together. New episodes every week.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-05T04:22:12.139692+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/blurry-creatures-744682"},"episode":{"title":"EP: 412 The Kingdom Manifesto with Brad Gray and Joel Edwards","slug":"ep-412-the-kingdom-manifesto-with-brad-gray-and-joel-edwards","published_at":"2026-03-31T21:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/blurry-creatures-744682/ep-412-the-kingdom-manifesto-with-brad-gray-and-joel-edwards","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/blurry-creatures-744682","url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/s.gum.fm/s-661fc8f0defef17c866096ba/mgln.ai/e/617/traffic.megaphone.fm/LEW3719736641.mp3","audio_url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/s.gum.fm/s-661fc8f0defef17c866096ba/mgln.ai/e/617/traffic.megaphone.fm/LEW3719736641.mp3","summary":"It's Holy Week, and most of us will say the Lord's Prayer at some point over the next few days without ever really hearing it. Brad Gray, author of \"Bringing Heaven Here\" and a veteran of over fifteen years of biblical study hiking trips in Israel, joins filmmaker and Evolve Studios founder Joel Edwards in the Blurry Basement to walk through The Lord's Prayer that Jesus gave us and show why it's not a formula or a ritual but a kingdom manifesto. Brad walks through how this prayer functions as a chiasm with \"kingdom come\" at its center, how each line echoes the Exodus narrative, and why the early church prayed it three times a day as a discipleship anchor. This isn't a crusty piece of liturgy. It's the most powerful thing Jesus ever gave us and quite possibly the most underutilized. The conversation also dives into forgiveness as the number one foothold for the demonic, temptation as spiritual warfare language, and prayer as participation rather than just petition. Joel and Brad share the incredible story of making both the film and the series, a journey marked by relentless opposition and miraculous provision at every turn. The crew arrived in Israel the same night Iran launched an unprecedented missile and drone attack on the country, and when the dust settled and the airspace closed, they found themselves with empty holy sites and open doors no film crew had ever walked through, including the inner tomb shrine at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Six years in the making, \"The Lord's Prayer\" film and \"The Sacred Thread\" series are now streaming on Angel.
