   From the Frontline: Charlie Kirk Was Martyred

   This is not a normal episode of Not From the Pulpit. Today we step From the Frontline into a moment where the spiritual realm has erupted onto the world stage. Charlie Kirk was assassinated, not just as a political figure, but as a Christian whose faith in Jesus Christ drove everything he did. He shared the gospel with millions, and the world hated him because it hated Christ in him. His death is more than tragedy; it is martyrdom. In this episode, we confront the sobering reality that spiritual warfare is not abstract. It manifests in flesh and blood, in policies, in violence, in history. Evil ideas become weapons, division becomes strategy, and when the light of God is removed from culture, darkness fills the void. But this is not a message of despair. It’s a wake-up call: for believers to pray like they truly believe in the unseen, to stand boldly for truth, and to live as light in the darkness, whatever the cost. And for those who do not yet know Christ, it’s an invitation to open the door of your heart to the Savior who alone can replace hatred with love and fear with confidence. Charlie Kirk followed Jesus even unto death. Now he follows Him into eternal life. May his blood remind us that the battle is real, the cost is high, but the victory belongs to Christ.

   Giants

   What if the giants in the Bible weren’t just tall men but the hybrid offspring of fallen angels and human women? In this episode of Not From the Pulpit, Jonathan Helms takes you on a deep dive into one of the Bible’s most intriguing, and terrifying, topics: giants. From Goliath and his four brothers to King Og of Bashan’s 13.5-foot bed, we explore the biblical record. But we don’t stop there, we also examine extra-biblical sources like the Book of Enoch and the Book of Giants from the Dead Sea Scrolls. You’ll learn: The truth about Goliath’s size, was he diseased or deadly? Why David picked up five stones (hint: Goliath had family). Who the Watchers were, and how their sin created the Nephilim. What happened to the spirits of dead giants, and why they may now be what we call demons. How to understand the spiritual implications of giants still influencing the world today. A brief mention of the tallest modern human, Robert Wadlow, and how his life invites deeper questions about what qualifies as a “giant.” This episode also features a direct and raw conversation with AI, where Jonathan presses for answers; where the giants went and whether they still walk the earth in some form today. 🎵 Theme Music: Two Skies by Tomomi Kato Licensed via Pixabay - https://pixabay.com/music/modern-classical-two-skies-311193 (https://pixabay.com/music/modern-classical-two-skies-311193) Resources Mentioned: Book of Enoch (1 Enoch) Book of Giants (Dead Sea Scrolls) 2 Samuel 21 / 1 Chronicles 20 (Goliath’s brothers) Deuteronomy 3:11 (King Og of Bashan) Numbers 13:33 (Anakim and the spy report) Matthew 12:43–45 (unclean spirits and the house metaphor) Robert Wadlow: Guinness World Records Connect with Jonathan: 📖 Author of Verbs of Faith 🎙️ Host of Not From the Pulpit 📱 TikTok: @realjonhelms 🌐 Linktree & More: https://linktr.ee/Jon_Helms
