The Mount Hermeneutics Podcast
by MOBIVIN, LLC
Three lifelong friends and Marine Corps veterans from wildly different backgrounds talk about our respective searches for God and truth and our journeys through the Bible, through life and middle age, and the secrets of history and religion and the universe and our own humble struggle to save Western civilization. We’re not experts, but we take ourselves VERY seriously, and you should too! Or don’t. At the very least, you’ll be entertained. We always are!

Episode 137: The Bible and Halloween, What Should We Really Fear?
What does the Bible actually teach about fear? Is fear always a bad thing? Why are we commanded to fear God, yet repeatedly told not to be afraid? And what does any of this have to do with Halloween? This week on The Mount Hermeneutics Show, we explore the biblical reality of fear, examining the...

Episode 136: Brian Wrote a Book and Raymond Ibrahim is correct
We planned to talk about one thing... but Brian published a book and Tulsa is having a Muslim crisis so we did what we do, and spun into a rabbit hole. #TheMountHermeneuticsShow #theDragonsSacrament #BrokenArrow #Islam #Christianity #constitution #evangelism #RaymondIbrahim + NEW DISCLAIMER +…

Episode 134: Saul Sees Dead People or Dead Samuel Crashes Out
One of the more interesting events in the Old Testament is when Saul goes to a medium and asks to commune with the deceased Samuel... What actually happens there? Was it a ghost, a demon, was it really Samuel? There is a lot to unpack here, and the guys get into it. #1Samuel28 #WitchOfEndor...

Episode 133: Homer and the Bible, Does The Odyssey Hold Truths?

Episode 132: The New Priesthood
What does it mean when Peter calls believers a “royal priesthood”? In 1 Peter 2, Peter reaches deep into the language of the Old Testament (temple, sacrifice, priesthood, and covenant) and applies it directly to the followers of Christ. Those aren't simply metaphors for being a Christian. They...
-
Episode 131: The 2 Powers In Heaven, A Christian Invention or Early Israelite Belief?
Does the Old Testament present God as a solitary figure, or does it reveal something more complex within the identity of YHWH? Genesis 18 presents YHWH on earth; Exodus 3 identifies the Angel of YHWH as God. Daniel 7 distinguishes the Ancient of Days from the divine cloud rider, while Psalm 110...
-
Episode 130: What Is Wrong With The Church?
The guys talk about the modern version of the church and the effect and influence that it has on modern society. Is that how it is supposed to be? What could be different? How? #podcast #religion #genx #theology #philosophy #christianity #easter #resurrection #ChristianYouTube...
-
Episode 129: Pentecost, AKA the Reversal of the Tower of Babel
What if we've been looking at and thinking about Pentecost all wrong? What if Pentecost is actually God's answer to the Tower of Babel? In this episode of The Mount Hermeneutics Show, the boys attempt to connect Genesis 11, Deuteronomy 32, Joel 2, and Acts 2 to unravel how the nations that were...
-
Episode 128: Not a ghost. Not an angel. A resurrected human. What is the resurrected body?
What happens to us after the resurrection? Will we still be ourselves? Will we recognize one another? Will our bodies be physical, spiritual, or something entirely new? In this episode of The Mount Hermeneutics Show, the guys explore one of Christianity's most fascinating promises, the…

Episode 127: Did Christianity Steal the Messiah Story?
Did Christianity borrow the story of Jesus from older religions? Skeptics often point to figures like Horus, Mithras, Osiris, Dionysus, and Krishna as evidence that the Gospel story was copied from ancient myths. But how strong are those claims? In this episode, the guys take a closer look at the...
-
Episode 126: The 40 Days After the Resurrection
40 Days? We know about the flood, Moses on Mount Sinai, and Jesus fasting in the wilderness. But there is another 40-day period that often goes overlooked… The 40 days between Christ’s resurrection and ascension may be one of the most overlooked periods in Scripture. What did the risen Jesus…

Episode 125: The Historical Evidence of the Resurrection
When discussing the resurrection, the conversation typically goes in a couple of directions. One challenge is not using the Bible to prove the Bible is true.... We try to do just that. #podcast #religion #genx #theology #philosophy #christianity #easter #resurrection #holyweek #lewistrilemma...

-
Episode 122: Jesus went to Hell... He did what?
The guys take on an interesting section in 1 Peter (Chapter 3, verses 18 and 19), where Peter talks about the crucifixion and resurrection, but there is a seemingly odd phrase in there that has a lot to be unpackaged. What was Peter talking about and what really happened? Did Jesus go to Hell? If...

The guys take on the issues with Evolution.. or is it issues with Genesis... or... #podcast #religion #genx #theology #philosophy #christianity #evolution #creation #Genesis + NEW DISCLAIMER + Brian does not endorse ANYTHING said by Andrae or Matt unless explicitly stated.…

-
Episode 119: Love, Do you give it a bad name? Or is it a battlefield?
What is Love? We say it an awful lot, especially around Valentine’s Day… but what do we mean when we say it? What did God mean when he said it? Did it mean then, what it means now? Brian wrote a new blog here: https://thethirdhelix.com/2022/05/06/recapturing-our-stolen-inheritance-2-2/ #podcast...
-
Episode 118: Sanctification and Justification, what's the difference?

Episode 113: Leviticus, the most boring book in the Bible, or the most important?

Episode 114: You Better Call Saul, Paul (Paul part2)
We can never leave good enough alone, so we tried to close out the discussion on Paul now that Matt is back (we recorded this before the Christmas episode, but got them out of order so that the Christmas episode fit the calendar better). #podcast #religion #genx #theology #philosophy…
more -
Episode 112: Christmas and the Incarnation of God
The guys take a different approach to Christmas and discuss the Incarnation of God as man. Who was Jesus, and why did he have to be a baby?

-

more -
Episode 108: God Knows Everything Right? Right???
If God knows everything before it happens, why do bad things happen? Is that what he wants, knows, allows? Or does he know at all? Open Theism has a POV that Matt talks about. Is Open Theism more about time or free will? Let's get into it. #podcast #religion #genx #theology #philosophy...
-
Episode 107: Bible Study Groups Suck... Right?
The guys discussed challenges in Bible study groups. We hear about the Holy Spirit speaking directly to individuals during study, but is that what is going on? Should people be expecting supernatural revelation or rather focus on textual understanding? #podcast #religion #genx #theology…

The boys chat about the biblical figure Melchizedek, exploring his brief appearance in Genesis 14, his mention in Psalm 110, and his significance in the book of Hebrews. The group examined various theological interpretations of Melchizedek's priesthood and its relationship to Jesus Christ's...

Episode 103: Everything Bad is Demonic

Episode 102: Pastors Are Too Soft
As residual effects of Charlie Kirk's murder continue to affect society at large, Brian and Andrae got into an interesting discussion with an online Pastor, which caused quite the stir... The takeaway? Modern pastors miss the mark when it comes to holding the line and being "strong"... But what...
-
Episode 101: If God Was Real He Would Just Show Himself... RIGHT????
A listener question asked about the idea of Divine Hiddenness, or the dilemma that is the seemingly obscure nature of God. Is God purposefully hard for man to see? Or, are we looking in the right place? If one can't see him, does that mean he doesn't exist? Listen in, and hear what the Mount Herm...

Episode 100: The Journey is Over.... is it???
We have created 100 episodes! There was a lot of time/energy that went into getting here, and we are happy to share it with you. Unfortunately, we cannot ignore the real world situation that is around us, with regards to the loss of Charlie Kirk... so we will also discuss him. #podcast #religion...

more -
Episode 98: What the hell is Hell??
Eternal damnation in a lake of fire? Forever nothingness? A theological timeout? What exactly can we glean from the Bible that tells us what happens to those that are found "weighed, measured and found lacking"??? #podcast #religion #genx #theology #philosophy #christianity #damnation…
more -
Episode 97: The Christian "Testimony": Are we obeying Jesus, or just cosplaying?
We intended to do a show on Hell, but through our natural dialogue we ended up taking a turn into the world of testimony, and what it is. Do Christians use testimony properly? What is testimony? We take a stab at it, so listen in. #podcast #religion #genx #theology #philosophy #christianity...
-
Episode 96: Is Aggressive Islamic Expansion in the West ... Good News?
The struggle between Islam and Christianity is nothing new... It has been raging in some capacity since the 700's. But, what do the current events say about our future? Are there linkages to Biblical End times? We make a few references to the works of Raymond Ibrahim, so please check out his body...
-
Episode 95: The Epistle of Barnabas, Forgotten Canon or Extreme Heresy?
The guys revisit an old piece of Church history, the Epistle of Barnabas. Is this book an important early church artifact, or a piece of random Anti Jewish hate mail?

-
Episode 94: Superman... A Messianic Type or a Comic Book Movie for Kids?
Brian has gone on and on about how Superman was intended as a Messianic symbol, so the guys decided that this week was a perfect time to dig into that, with the release of the newest Superman movie. What do you think of the show? Do you agree? NO SPOILERS here... we talk around the beats of the...
