Friday Ep 01 | What Were the Nephilim?

In this episode of the Rooted Discipleship Podcast, Walker Davis and Chad Gott introduce a new laid-back Friday discussion format where they answer listener questions, share personal stories, and talk through different topics surrounding faith and everyday life. The conversation begins with a reminder of how easy it is to lose sight of God’s blessings in the middle of busy and stressful seasons. Walker shares a personal story about a conversation with an HVAC technician that served as a powerful reminder of gratitude, stewardship, and recognizing the ways God has already provided in life. Walker and Chad then answer several listener questions, including discussions on the continuation of spiritual gifts, the role of the Holy Spirit today, healing, speaking in tongues, and the importance of faith and alignment with God’s will. They also touch on topics such as the Nephilim in Genesis, the literary style of Scripture, and why believers should be careful not to become distracted by speculation or conspiracy theories that go beyond what Scripture clearly teaches. The episode also includes a conversation about Pentecost Sunday, the coming of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2, and the growth of the early church after Jesus’ ascension. As they reflect on the work of the Holy Spirit, both Walker and Chad share personal experiences about when they first recognized God moving in their own lives. Ultimately, this episode serves as an honest and encouraging conversation about faith, spiritual growth, and learning to recognize God’s presence in both Scripture and everyday life.
