Down the Rabbit Hole: A Note About This Week's #COTU Episode
This week's Church of the Undead (#COTU) pulled me down a rabbit hole. The further I worked on it, the more it asked of me — more material, more questions of my own that needed answers... honestly, if I kept going it could easily become a book, and maybe someday it will. But for now I'm working toward the podcast version, and even that may not be ready for the usual Sunday release. I'll keep at it, but this may be a mid-week episode! Thanks in advance for your understanding!

I Saw A UFO Over Iowa | And Most Christians Would Handle This Wrong!
Last Wednesday, somewhere over Iowa, I watched a shiny object make a ninety-degree turn inside a cloud and then reverse course back into it. I don't know what I saw. But I know that the two responses most Christians would have to a sighting like mine are both wrong — and Scripture actually commands a third way that almost nobody practices.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = The Unidentified Flying Object00:03:56.210 = Show Open00:05:51.228 = A Word Before We Dig In00:07:14.782 = The First Wrong Response – Dismissal00:20:21.907 = The Second Wrong Response – Invention ***00:30:54.794 = The Third Way – What Scripture Actually Commands ***00:42:42.109 = What Testing Actually Looks Like ***01:01:00.882 = The Landing ***01:05:10.019 = Show Close*** = Begins immediately after inserted ad breakREFERENCES & TRANSCRIPT: https://weirddarkness.com/ISawAUfoOverIowaLISTEN ON PODCAST APPS: Look for this podcast on YouTube Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other apps.

HARROWING OF HELL | The Rarely Told Truth of The Saturday After Good Friday Before Easter Sunday!
Every Easter Sunday, pastors around the world deliver the same message: Jesus rose from the grave. And that is absolutely true. But today we are not talking about Sunday morning. We are talking about Saturday. What was happening in the realm of the dead during those three days while the disciples hid, the soldiers stood guard, and the world assumed evil had won? The answer is something you have almost certainly never heard from any pulpit, any pastor, or any religious speaker — ever. This is the Harrowing of Hell.SERMON TRANSCRIPT: https://weirddarkness.com/cotu-harrowingofhell“What The Heck Is a Nephilim” episode: https://weirddarkness.com/cotu-whattheheckisanephilim/“The Jerusalem Zombie Incident” episode: https://weirddarkness.com/cotu-zombies/Weird Darkness® and Church Of The Undead™ are trademarked.

About Church of the Undead
Hello, Weirdos – I’m Pastor Darren – welcome to the Church of the Undead. It doesn’t matter if you are a "Weirdo-in-Christ" or just a Weirdo – everyone is welcome here at the Church of the Undead. And I use the word “undead” because here we are DEAD to sin and ALIVE in Christ! If you want to join this Weirdo congregation, just click that SUBSCRIBE or FOLLOW button – and visit us online at WeirdDarkness.com/CHURCH. Full disclosure – I might use the term “pastor” because I’ve branded this podcast as a church – but I do not have a theology degree, nor did I ever go to Bible college. I’m just a guy who gave his life to Christ in 1989 and has tried to “walk the walk” every since – and has stumbled a lot along the way – because, like everybody else, I am an imperfect, heavily-flawed human being. So please don’t take what I say as gospel; dig into God’s word yourself for confirmation, inspiration, and rev
