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: 436 Dark Entities, Lucid Dreams & Psilocybin with Paul Risse *members only trailer","slug":"ep-436-dark-entities-lucid-dreams-psilocybin-with-paul-risse-members-only-trailer","published_at":"2026-06-18T21:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/blurry-creatures-744682/ep-436-dark-entities-lucid-dreams-psilocybin-with-paul-risse-members-only-trailer","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/LEW7926394089.mp3","audio_url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/s.gum.fm/s-661fc8f0defef17c866096ba/mgln.ai/e/617/traffic.megaphone.fm/LEW7926394089.mp3","summary":"Three dark vortex beings haunt Paul Risse for three straight days, taunting him in his lucid dreams with promises of power. What starts as an exploration of consciousness becomes a supernatural battle that reshapes his entire worldview. Paul is the author of The Psychedelic Christian, and his journey runs from a TV-free childhood in Texas to consuming psychedelics close to a thousand times in a desperate search for truth. He goes off-grid with no electricity. He fasts for thirty days at a stretch. He pushes his mind further than most people ever dare. He eats mushrooms close to a thousand times. And in the end, he finds that only the name of Jesus can protect him from the entities he meets along the way.This is the conversation we could not put on the public feed. Paul sits in the basement and tackles the controversial connection between psychedelics and spirituality. He unpacks biblical pharmakeia, the Watchers, and their role in teaching humanity about root cuttings, and why he believes the modern church holds a truncated view of the supernatural. He shares powerful testimonies of healing from abuse, overcoming addiction, and the unconventional path that leads him to a deeper relationship with Christ. His story challenges traditional boundaries while staying grounded in Scripture. Want to listen to this episode and a catalog of more than 100+ other members-only episodes?
