Steve Miller: Near-Death Experiences: Proof of the Afterlife or Just Brain Chemistry?
In this episode of the Charismatic Cheetah Podcast, host Michael Young sits down with author and researcher J. Steve Miller to explore the mysterious and often controversial world of near-death experiences (NDEs).
Are these powerful moments evidence of life after death, hallucinations caused by a dying brain, or something more deceptive? We discuss how NDEs relate to the Christian worldview, whether they align with biblical teaching, and what they might reveal about God, the soul, and eternity.
Topics include:
The most compelling NDE accounts Steve has studied
How skeptics explain NDEs—and where those explanations fall short
Whether NDEs support universalism or point to the God of the Bible
How Christians can engage this topic without falling into deception
Whether you're a believer, skeptic, or just curious about what happens after we die, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.

Hyper-Cessationism vs. Historic Cessationism: What the Reformers Really Believed (w/ Ryan Denton)
In this episode, I’m joined by Ryan Denton to talk about hyper-cessationism—what it is, how it differs from historic Reformed cessationism, and where it stands in relation to moderate continuationism. We dive into what the Reformers and Puritans actually believed about prophecy, dreams, and divine revelation. Did they really believe all gifts had ceased? The answer might surprise you.
📚 We also explore how today’s popular cessationism may be more rigid—and less biblical—than what the Westminster divines taught.

Is Mark 16:9–20 Original? | Part Two: The Evidence (with James Snapp Jr.)
In this follow-up episode, I’m joined again by New Testament scholar James Snapp Jr.—and this time, we go deep. If Part One was focused on responding to Wes Huff’s video arguing against the long ending of Mark, Part Two is all about the positive case.
Snapp walks us through a wide range of evidence supporting the authenticity of Mark 16:9–20, including:
Greek manuscript data
Patristic citations
Internal consistency with Mark’s style
And why it absolutely deserves to be in your Bible
This episode includes detailed analysis, historical context, and even references to the slides presented in the YouTube version.

Is Mark 16:9–20 Original? | Part One: Responding to Wes Huff (with James Snapp Jr.)
In this episode, I’m joined by New Testament scholar and author James Snapp Jr. to tackle the controversy surrounding the so-called "long ending" of Mark’s Gospel—Mark 16:9–20.
This was originally intended to be a single episode, but as we dug deeper into Snapp’s responses and the overwhelming amount of evidence he brings to the table, it became clear this needed to be a two-parter.
Part One is focused on directly responding to the claims made by Wes Huff in his recent video arguing against the authenticity of Mark 16:9–20.
Part Two (coming soon) will feature a full presentation from James Snapp Jr. as he lays out his positive case for why the long ending is original—complete with manuscript data, early church references, and more.
Whether you’re a Bible nerd, a church history fan, or just curious about one of the most debated New Testament passages, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

LA Marzulli | Genesis 3:15 & The Seed War – The Bible’s Supernatural Backdrop
In this clip from my full interview with L.A. Marzulli, we explore how Genesis 3:15 unlocks the entire biblical narrative—from the fall in the Garden to the flood, the Nephilim, Sodom and Gomorrah, and the conquest of Canaan. Marzulli shares how this often-overlooked verse reveals a cosmic seed war between the offspring of the woman and the offspring of the serpent.
📌 Topics covered:
– Why L.A. Marzulli was kicked out of churches
– The supernatural context of Genesis 3:15
– The idea of DNA corruption at the fall
– Why God judged the world with the flood
– The Nephilim and their role in biblical history
