It doesn’t matter if you are a \"Weirdo-in-Christ\" or just a Weirdo – everyone is welcome here at the Church of the Undead. And I use the word “undead” because here we are DEAD to sin and ALIVE in Christ! If you want to join this Weirdo congregation, just click that SUBSCRIBE or FOLLOW button – and visit us online at WeirdDarkness.com/CHURCH . Full disclosure – I might use the term “pastor” because I’ve branded this podcast as a church – but I do not have a theology degree, nor did I ever go to Bible college. I’m just a guy who gave his life to Christ in 1989 and has tried to “walk the walk” every since – and has stumbled a lot along the way – because, like everybody else, I am an imperfect, heavily-flawed human being. So please don’t take what I say as gospel; dig into God’s word yourself for confirmation, inspiration, and revelation. That being said, welcome to the Church of the Undead!","last_synced_at":"2026-06-08T08:17:29.506914+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/church-of-the-undead-4947254"},"episode":{"title":"I Saw A UFO Over Iowa | And Most Christians Would Handle This Wrong!","slug":"i-saw-a-ufo-over-iowa-and-most-christians-would-handle-this-wrong","published_at":"2026-04-20T00:00:03+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/church-of-the-undead-4947254/i-saw-a-ufo-over-iowa-and-most-christians-would-handle-this-wrong","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/church-of-the-undead-4947254","url":"https://weirddarkness.com/ISawAUfoOverIowa","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/71466826/cotu20260419_isawaufooveriowa.mp3","summary":"Last Wednesday, somewhere over Iowa, I watched a shiny object make a ninety-degree turn inside a cloud and then reverse course back into it. I don't know what I saw. But I know that the two responses most Christians would have to a sighting like mine are both wrong — and Scripture actually commands a third way that almost nobody practices.
