S2E9: My Choctaw Heritage

Delve into the spiritual crossroads of "Pagan America" in this personal podcast episode, exploring Coleman’s mixed Choctaw and European heritage. Uncover the rich tapestry of Choctaw mythology, from the sacred Nanih Waiya mound to animistic beliefs in Hashtali and Nalusa Chito, rooted in Mississippian mound-building cultures. Contrast this with the Christian gospel’s impact on Native American lands, examining covenantal blessings, curses, and redemption. As a ¼ Choctaw Christian, Coleman reflects on spiritual warfare, sleep paralysis encounters, and the Southeastern Ceremonial Complex’s “Southern Death Cult.” Discover how Native traditions clash with European Christian heritage, offering insights into faith, culture, and personal identity. Perfect for listeners interested in Native American history, biblical perspectives, and spiritual journeys.Mentioned in the show and other readings (Amazon Affiliate Links):“Project Hail Mary” by Andy Weir: https://amzn.to/4ncmdK7“The Sin of Empathy” by Joe Rigney: https://amzn.to/40f2JdP“Return of The Strong Gods: Nationalism, Populism, and the Future of the West”: https://amzn.to/4nhqFY8“The Book of The Hopi” by Frank Waters: https://amzn.to/43xg0Rc “Principles of War: A Handbook on Strategic Evangelism” by Jim Wilson: https://amzn.to/3HyJSUH“That Hideous Strength” by C.S.
