Podcast Overview

The Berean Files explores mysteries, conspiracies, and cultural movements through a biblical lens. Inspired by Acts 17:11, this channel follows the example of the Bereans—examining everything carefully against Scripture. Here we investigate topics like the Nephilim, aliens and UFOs, ancient gods and mythologies, occult philosophy, New Age spirituality, secret societies, and the spiritual influences shaping modern culture and the church. Instead of chasing sensational theories, the goal is discernment: searching the Scriptures, examining evidence, and asking whether these ideas are biblically plausible or deceptive. The internet is full of speculation. The Berean Files exists to test claims, uncover connections, and think critically while staying grounded in the Word of God.

Occult Symbolism, Metatron & the Enneagram | TBF on Six Sensory Podcast

The Enneagram has become one of the most influential personality systems in the modern church—but where did it actually come from?In this crossover episode with Tim Constantine from the Six Sensory Podcast, we trace the Enneagram back to its modern roots, exploring the influence of Gurdjieff, occult philosophy, channeling, and esoteric spirituality. Along the way, we examine concepts surrounding Metatron, symbolism, sacred geometry, and why symbols have played such a significant role in shaping religious and cultural movements throughout history.<br /><br />Rather than accepting popular narratives at face value, we test the historical claims and spiritual foundations of the Enneagram against Scripture. Is it simply a neutral personality tool, or is there more to its origins than many Christians realize?Join us as we explore how the Enneagram became embedded in churches, why discernment matters, and how believers can faithfully evaluate every teaching in light of God's Word.<br /><br />If you enjoy biblical investigations into theology, church history, modern deception, and cultural discernment, subscribe to The Berean Files and join us as we seek truth wherever it leads.

Who Are God's Chosen People? | with Jared Madden

For many Christians, the phrase God's chosen people seems like an easy question to answer—but is our understanding shaped more by modern theology than by Scripture?In this episode of The Berean Files, we're joined by Jared Madden to examine what the Bible actually teaches about God's covenant people. We explore the relationship between the nation-state of Israel, the promises made to Abraham, the role of the Church, and how Jews and Gentiles are united through faith in Jesus Christ.Along the way, we discuss the rise of dispensational theology, the influence of Christian Zionism, and why these topics deserve careful, Berean-style study. Our goal isn't to promote a political position, but to encourage believers to search the Scriptures and test every tradition against God's Word.Whether you agree with our conclusions or not, we invite you to open your Bible, think critically, and join the conversation.Topics Covered:<ul><li>Who are God's chosen people?</li><li>The "Israel of God" in the New Testament</li><li>Jews and Gentiles united in Christ</li><li>Romans 9–11, Galatians 3, and Ephesians 2</li><li>Dispensationalism and Christian Zionism</li><li>The importance of interpreting Scripture in context</li></ul>"Now these Jews were more noble... for they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so." — Acts 17:11<br /><br />#BibleStudy #ChristianPodcast  #Theology #Scripture #JesusChrist #dispensationalism<br />

The Great Commission Was Never Just for Pastors | with Peyton Jones

What if the greatest mission Jesus gave His followers has quietly become something we expect pastors and church leaders to do for us?In this episode of The Berean Files, we sit down with Peyton Jones, author of Discipology, to explore the biblical model of disciple-making and why it was never intended to be reserved for ministry professionals. From the very beginning, Jesus called ordinary men and women to follow Him, learn from Him, and then go make disciples of others.We discuss why so many Christians feel unequipped to disciple someone, how the modern church can unintentionally confuse attendance with discipleship, and what it looks like to live out the Great Commission in everyday life—as parents, coworkers, neighbors, friends, and members of our local churches.Whether you've been a Christian for decades or you're wondering where to begin, this conversation is a practical and biblical reminder that the call to make disciples belongs to every believer.In this episode:<ul><li>Why the Great Commission isn't just for pastors</li><li>The difference between church attendance and disciple-making</li><li>How Jesus' model can be lived out today</li><li>Practical ways to begin discipling others</li><li>Why multiplication—not addition—was always God's plan</li></ul>www.discipology.com<br /><br />"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations..." — Matthew 28:19–20If this conversation encourages you, be sure to subscribe, share this episode with someone who wants to grow in their faith, and let us know in the comments: Who has discipled you, and who are you discipling?#TheBereanFiles #Discipleship #GreatCommission #PeytonJones #Discipology #ChristianPodcast #DiscipleMaking #BiblicalLeadership #FollowJesus #Church
