This podcast explores why people are drawn to stories of the supernatural and argues that the Bible's portrayal of the unseen world is often misunderstood and more dynamic than commonly taught. It highlights the biblical concept of a divine council composed of spiritual beings, referred to as elohim, who inhabit the unseen realm and participate in God's rule and decisions. The author emphasizes that these "gods" are real, created spiritual entities, distinct from God himself, and that understanding this biblical worldview helps us grasp God's relationship with both his heavenly and earthly "families," including humanity's intended role in co-ruling with him.
