🫏🐍🔥 Wait… did the Bible just talk about dragons?

In Episode 135, Biblical Creatures: Snakes, Donkeys, and Dragons—Oh My!, Nate and Pastor Joseph dive into the strangest cast of characters in Scripture—and no, we’re not talking about church people (this time). From the infamous talking serpent in Genesis, to Balaam’s bold donkey, all the way to the fire-breathing dragon of Revelation, we’re unpacking it all with the same honest, sarcastic, and surprisingly insightful tone you’ve come to expect.

Also featuring: flying creatures with six wings (hello, seraphim 👀), multi-faced cherubim that sound more like Transformers than angels, and Nate doing his best to make Pastor Joseph uncomfortable (as usual).

🔍 Questions we’re tackling:
	•	What are cherubim and seraphim, really?
	•	Was that dragon in Revelation literal?
	•	Did a donkey actually talk? (Yes. Yes it did.)
	•	Is the talking snake Satan—or something else entirely?

🎧 This episode is perfect for curious Christians, skeptical seekers, and anyone who’s ever thought “Wait… that’s in the Bible??”

Episode 135 - Biblical Creatures:Snakes, Donkeys, and Dragons—Oh My!

Did the Bible just describe a fire-breathing sea monster? Or a giant land beast? Or…angel-human hybrids? 🐉👀👣

In Episode 136 of When I Heard This, Nate and Pastor Joseph dive headfirst into some of the Bible’s most bizarre and boss-level creatures—from the mysterious Leviathan and Behemoth, to the controversial and conspiracy-theory-fueling Nephilim.

They’re tackling the weird questions nobody brings up in Sunday School:
	•	What’s the deal with the Angel of Death?
	•	Is Behemoth just a big hippo—or something more?
	•	Was Leviathan literal or just poetic flair?
	•	And seriously…who were the Nephilim?

This episode blends biblical commentary, cultural questions, and a healthy dose of sarcasm, with Nate’s humor and Pastor Joseph’s deep dives keeping things both hilarious and insightful. Whether you’re Bible-curious or theologically fluent, you’re gonna love this conversation.

Episode 136 - The Bible’s Boss Level Creatures: Leviathan, Behemoth & the Nephilim

Wait… unicorns? In the Bible? 🦄

Yep. And that’s just the beginning.

In this episode of When I Heard This, Nate and Pastor Joseph dive headfirst into the wildest, weirdest creatures you probably skipped right over in your Bible reading plan. We’re talking about unicorns, cockatrices, fish with a thing for prophets, and not one but two end-of-days beasts straight out of Revelation.

From King James translation quirks to “are we sure this isn’t just Tolkien?” moments, this one’s part theology, part cryptid podcast, part meme-worthy group chat.

Big questions we ask in this episode:
– What’s the deal with the unicorns in the KJV?
– What even is a cockatrice?
– Was Jonah’s fish a whale… or something worse?
– What do the two beasts of Revelation represent?

Expect sarcasm. Expect theology. Expect a few moments where you ask, “Wait, is that really in the Bible?”

🎙️ Hosted by Nate & Pastor Joseph—two guys who ask the stuff you’re thinking but don’t want to say out loud in Sunday School.

Episode 137 - The Bible’s Deep Cuts:Unicorns, Cockatrices & Other Creatures You Forgot Were In There

Ever hear about the Holy Spirit and think… huh?
You’re not alone. In this episode, Nate and Pastor Joseph kick off a two-part series breaking down what most churches either oversimplify or overcomplicate—the Holy Spirit (or Holy Ghost, depending on your Bible translation and level of childhood trauma).

They get into it all:
🕊️ What the Holy Spirit actually did on Pentecost
👀 What He looks like (if anything?)
📖 Where He’s mentioned in Scripture
❓And the million-dollar question: Who is He?

It’s funny, it’s real, it’s the episode that might finally make the Holy Spirit make sense. Or at least give you something better to say than “He’s like… wind?”

Episode 138 - What No One Explains About the Holy Spirit

🎙 Episode 139 - Misunderstanding the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit: mysterious, misunderstood… and maybe not what you were taught.

In the second part of our deep-dive series, Nate and Pastor Joseph break down the biggest misconceptions about the Holy Spirit (or Holy Ghost—depending on your translation and grandma). This episode covers everything from “Do I need to believe in the Holy Spirit to go to heaven?” to “What does it actually do?”

Other questions tackled:
	•	Do Christians automatically receive the Holy Spirit when saved?
	•	How do you know the Spirit is in you?
	•	Is being “baptized in the Spirit” a real thing—or just Christianese?

Expect honest takes, biblical context, and a healthy dose of sarcasm. If you’ve ever been confused (or weirded out) by church teachings about the Spirit, you’re in the right place.

Episode 139 - Misunderstanding the Holy Spirit

Thought we were done with the Holy Spirit? Not even close.

Nate and Pastor Joseph are back for one more round—because when you’re asking questions like…

🕊️ What are the fruits and gifts of the Spirit?
🔥 What’s the difference between the Holy Spirit in you vs. on you?
🚫 And what’s the deal with blasphemy being the one sin that can’t be forgiven?

…you need more than two episodes.

This one’s funny, challenging, and unexpectedly deep (as usual). If the Holy Spirit has always felt a little vague or confusing, this episode brings the questions you’ve been thinking—but probably haven’t asked—into the open. Nate and Pastor Joseph go there with honest takes, sarcastic jabs, and just enough theological nerdiness to make it worth your time.

Episode 140 - This One’s Also About the Holy Spirit

Can You Love God Without the Church? 🤔

Ever wondered if it’s possible to love God but not do church? Nate and Pastor Joseph dig into that exact question in this episode of When I Heard This.

From the rise of the “spiritual but not religious” crowd to why so many people (especially women) are walking away from organized religion, this conversation tackles what faith looks like outside the church walls. They explore:

– Why religion sometimes pushes people away
– What spirituality offers that church might not
– Whether you need community to grow in your faith
– And how this shift is shaping Christianity in America

It’s deep, sarcastic, and probably more honest than a Sunday sermon. If you’re on a spiritual journey, deconstructing your faith, or just tired of religious fluff, this one’s for you.

Episode 141 - Can You Love God Without the Church?

Is it possible to see life clearly without the Christian lens? 👀

In Episode 142 – The Christian Lens: Seeing Life Clearly, Nate and Pastor Joseph unpack what it means to have a Christian worldview and why it matters in today’s chaotic culture. This episode dives into questions you’ve probably thought but maybe never asked—like:

– Can someone not be Christian and still have a Christian worldview?
– Why does this worldview bother people so much in public life?
– Is it actually the best framework for understanding life?

With honest reflections, sarcastic humor, and the signature When I Heard This banter, Nate and Pastor Joseph explore how faith shapes identity, morality, and meaning—without sounding like a Sunday school lesson. Whether you’re all-in on Jesus or just asking questions, this convo might shift your lens.

🎧 Listen now, think differently, and laugh a little too.

Episode 142 - The Christian Lens: Seeing Life Clearly

So… is Jesus cool with DMs? Let’s talk. 😅💬

In Episode 143 – Jesus, Courtship, and DMs, Nate and Pastor Joseph take a brutally honest (and sometimes hilarious) dive into what dating and courting actually look like through a Christian lens. If you’ve ever been confused about how physical is too physical, what “courting” even means anymore, or how to balance faith with modern romance—this one’s for you.

The guys break down questions like:
💔 Where’s the line with physical boundaries?
📖 What does the Bible say about dating?
💡 Is “just praying about it” a relationship strategy?
🤷🏽‍♂️ What’s the real purpose of courtship, anyway?

Whether you’re deep in the Christian dating scene, fed up with “situationships,” or just here for the laughs, this episode keeps it real—with theology, nuance, and memes.

Episode 143 - Jesus, Courtship, and DMs

Christian dating: still confusing, still hilarious.

In Episode 144 – Sanctified Situationships, Explained, Nate and Pastor Joseph continue their no-fluff, occasionally too-honest conversation on what dating and courtship really look like through a Christian lens.

They’re tackling the big questions:
– Can Christians “cheat” without crossing that line?
– When’s the right time to say “I love you”?
– Why do Christian parents panic when dating gets real?
– And seriously—why is church culture so bad at talking about relationships?

This isn’t your typical relationship advice. It’s real talk from two guys who’ve seen church culture up close, care about faith, and aren’t afraid to laugh at the mess we all get into. Whether you’re happily married or figuring it out one awkward date at a time, this one’s for you.
