Sometimes It Will Be Stupid
We came in with no plan, did no research, and made . . . this! These are the things we say off the top of our head about: visualizing months, Iran, 4D chess, the fracturing of political movements, and so many other rabbit trails. Enjoy! FWIW - we found out later, the Plum Island lab leak theory for Lymes disease is still largely a rumor. Like we said, no research was done in the making of this episode.

UFOs, Disclosure, Aliens, and Ancient gods
In this episode the guys discuss what they have been reading lately, followed by a far-ranging discussion about UFO disclosure and alien encounters. This is a fun thought exercise since these kind of topics cannot be known precisely or with a high degree of certainty. That's why these stories and discussions always remain shrouded in mystery, fables, and myth! Here's links to some of the material that is referenced during the episode: The Unseen Realm - Heiser Old Testament Cosmology and Divine Accommodation - Hilber American Cosmic - Pasulka S4: The Bob Lazar Story Team of Rivals - Goodwin Joseph Smith - Turner Don't forget to rate the show on this platform and continue the conversation by: Email thethingswesay@mail.com Instagram and X @TTWSpodcast faceboook.com/thethingswesaypodcast

Christians Falling for Mind Traps
There are plenty of ways that well-meaning Christians get distracted, and at worst, wholly captured by movements, schemes, and other mind traps. After briefly discussing NFL teams that have it worse then the Browns, the guys dive into eschatology, Iran, pyramid schemes, panics, and other things that capture the minds and imaginations of so many believers Continue the conversation by reaching out... thethingswesay@mail.com Instagram and X: @TTWSpodcast facebook.com/thethingswesaypodcast Don't forget to rate the show and share the episode with a friend!
