<![CDATA[Beneath the Surface Podcast]]>What if there’s more to the Bible, and the world around us, than what we’ve been taught? Beneath the Surface goes deeper into the conversations many people are curious about but rarely hear discussed.

From the unseen realm, spiritual warfare and the supernatural to powerful testimonies of people who have walked through darkness, deception, trauma, the New Age and the occult and found Jesus on the other side.

We explore Scripture, ask hard questions, challenge cultural narratives and examine the things that are often dismissed, misunderstood or simply left unexplained. Some episodes will make you think. Some may challenge what you believe. And some will remind you just how powerfully Jesus is still transforming lives.

We’re not here to tell you what to think. We’re here to dig deeper, bring everything back to Scripture and encourage you to seek the Truth for yourself. Unseen Battles. Real Stories. Biblical Truths.

Come curious. We’re going beneath the surface.

Christie Waggoner sits down with Sarah Fischer of Nature’s Pantry Farm to unpack how a nursing career, a family farm, and a growing concern about food quality led Sarah into regenerative farming. They dig into why food prices, health issues, and farming practices are all connected, and why more families are looking for local, chemical-free food. In this episode, they explore the difference between conventional agriculture and regenerative farming, the real cost of producing food, and why many people are rethinking what goes on their family’s table. The conversation is rooted in faith, stewardship, and practical hope for families who want healthier options.

Key Topics

  • Sarah shares how her journey started in nursing school at Mayo Clinic, where she first heard that people were getting sicker and would require more from healthcare.
  • She explains how her dad’s questions about rising illness led him to investigate food production, chemicals, and the connection between farming practices and human health.
  • The conversation focuses on glyphosate, Roundup, and the World Health Organization’s classification of glyphosate as a probable carcinogen, which helped push Sarah toward changing how her family ate and farmed.
  • Sarah describes the transition from conventional farming to regenerative farming, including learning through books, YouTube, Joel Salatin’s work, and local community demand.
  • Christie and Sarah discuss the hidden economics of food, including government subsidies, low grocery prices, rising input costs, and why conventional food can appear cheap only because someone else is paying part of the bill.
  • They compare the true cost of local meat with the cost of convenience, including examples like bulk beef purchases, butcher fees, and fast food costs for a family.
  • The episode highlights how regenerative farming works in practice, with daily cattle moves, long rest periods for soil recovery, and a focus on rebuilding microbiology in the land.
  • Christie and Sarah emphasize health, prevention, and personal responsibility, especially for families dealing with autoimmune issues, thyroid problems, allergies, and anxiety about what they are eating.
  • The discussion broadens into faith and stewardship, with references to Psalm 24, Leviticus 25, Matthew 6, and the idea that the earth belongs to God and should be cared for accordingly.
  • They end with hope, encouraging listeners to support local farmers, ask questions, build grassroots community networks, and vote with their dollars.

Matthew 6:31-34 "So do not worry, saying, "What shall we eat?" or "What shall we drink?" or "What shall we wear? For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

In this episode, Christie sits down with husband-and-wife team Sutton and Rachel Ward for an honest conversation about addiction, sobriety, health, purpose, marriage, and the restoring power of Jesus Christ.

Rachel and Sutton share their journey of overcoming health challenges and finding strength in faith and prayer. The conversation covers Rachel's health struggles, the diagnosis and prognosis, navigating treatment and lifestyle changes, working with family and faith, and a health crisis with divine intervention.

The chapters cover the fight for life, the turning point, the diagnosis and hospitalization, the journey to recovery, the role of faith and determination, the impact of water and healing, the spiritual and mental transformation, and the discovery of healing water.

Together, Sutton and Rachel are the team behind High Vibration Hydration, a movement rooted in the belief that lasting transformation begins by addressing the foundation: your water, your body, your purpose, and—most importantly—your relationship with God.

We also discuss why caring for our physical health matters when we want to fulfill the purpose God has placed on our lives. Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and stewardship isn’t about perfection—it’s about becoming healthy, present, and available for what God is calling us to do.

No matter how broken the foundation may feel, Jesus is still in the business of restoration. Your past does not disqualify you, and the places that once held pain can become part of the testimony God uses to reach someone else.

In this episode of Beneath the Surface, Christie sits down with Tyler Schoettle to hear his incredible testimony—from his younger years and spiritual searching to entering the world of ayahuasca, indigenous ceremonies, spirit guides, and eventually a spiritual battle that changed everything.

Tyler shares how he believed he was connecting with spiritual beings that were guiding him toward truth. During an ayahuasca ceremony, however, he entered into an agreement with these entities—an agreement he would later come to understand very differently.

What once appeared spiritual, enlightening, and even beautiful began revealing a much darker reality.

Tyler opens up about the spiritual attacks that followed, the deception he experienced, and the moment he began recognizing that the beings he believed were helping him were not what they claimed to be. And ultimately, he shares how Jesus Christ changed the entire story.

We talk about:

• Tyler’s life before ayahuasca and what led him to seek deeper spiritual experiences

• His involvement with ayahuasca ceremonies and indigenous spiritual practices

• The “spirit guides” and entities he encountered

• The agreement he made during ceremony and why he describes it as signing away his soul

• The spiritual attacks that followed

• How something that appeared to offer healing became deception

• The moment Tyler began questioning who—or what—he was actually communicating with

• Spiritual warfare and the reality behind counterfeit spirituality

• How Jesus broke the agreement and brought Tyler back to truth

• What Tyler would tell someone considering ayahuasca today

This conversation isn’t about sensationalizing the supernatural. It’s about asking a deeper question:

Just because something is spiritual… does that mean it comes from God?

The Bible warns us to “test the spirits to see whether they are from God.” — 1 John 4:1

Tyler’s story is a powerful reminder that not every spiritual experience is what it appears to be—and that no agreement, deception, bondage, or darkness is beyond the authority of Jesus Christ.

If this episode makes you think of someone who is exploring ayahuasca, psychedelics, New Age spirituality, spirit guides, manifestation, or alternative spiritual practices, send it to them.

And if Tyler’s story resonates with you, tell us in the comments: Have you ever experienced something that initially felt spiritual or good, but later realized it wasn’t what you thought it was?

Christie sits down with Joslyn Nicholson for a raw conversation about childhood loss, trauma, addiction, abuse, and the long road back to peace. Joslyn shares how Jesus met her in the middle of chaos and how healing has become both deeply spiritual and deeply embodied.This episode matters for anyone who feels stuck, spiritually exhausted, or unsure why prayer alone has not shifted their pain. Christie and Joslyn talk candidly about nervous system healing, deliverance, and what lasting freedom can actually look like.

Key topics
  • Joslyn shares that her trauma began at age 5, when she learned her mother was dying of cancer and had to process that loss as a child.
  • She describes how her mother’s faith shaped her early life, including nightly prayer and Bible reading, and how that spiritual foundation stayed with her even in darkness.
  • In this episode, Joslyn explains how her mother’s death led to severe anxiety, insomnia, phobias, disordered eating, and a growing desperation to reconnect with her.
  • She opens up about turning to witchcraft, Ouija boards, and the occult in childhood and early adolescence as a way to reach her mother.
  • Joslyn shares how grief, dysfunction, and lack of emotional safety at home contributed to rebellion, drug use, promiscuity, and a double life as a high-performing student and athlete.
  • She recounts a violent abusive relationship in adulthood, including stalking, manipulation, sexual degradation, and being held at gunpoint.
  • Christie and Joslyn discuss the difference between spiritual warfare and trauma responses, and why some wounds cannot be healed by prayer alone if the root is never addressed.
  • Joslyn explains her work in trauma-informed Christian coaching, including inner healing, somatic tools, prophetic prayer, and deliverance.
  • She describes how she uses gentle regulation, body awareness, and Holy Spirit-led prayer to help clients move through shutdown, fear, rejection, and fragmentation.
  • Christie and Joslyn both emphasize that healing is not just “trying harder” spiritually. It is a process of truth replacing lies, safety replacing shame, and Christ meeting people at the root.
Key frameworks
  • Healing the root, not just the symptom
  • Regulation before revelation
  • Trauma-informed ministry that makes room for the Holy Spirit
  • Gentle somatic work with prayer and prophetic listening
  • Deliverance as both spiritual warfare and inner restoration
Notable quotes

“Stay close to Jesus. Always stay close to Jesus.”

“Healing is experiencing God where it used to feel unsafe.”

“You were not made for this. You were made for more.”

Action items
  • If prayer, fasting, and Bible reading have not brought lasting change, consider whether a deeper wound needs attention.
  • Look for trauma-informed support that also makes room for faith and prayer.
  • Stop minimizing pain just because someone else “had it worse.”
  • Pay attention to patterns of shutdown, hypervigilance, and rumination as possible signs of unresolved trauma.
  • Seek spaces where you can be seen, heard, and witnessed without judgment.

Who is Lilith? Is she really Adam’s first wife, or is that one of the most widespread myths in modern culture?

In this episode of Beneath the Surface, we separate biblical truth from centuries of folklore, mythology, and occult tradition. We trace Lilith’s origins from ancient Mesopotamian culture through Jewish tradition, examine the only place the name “Lilith” appears in the Bible, and discuss how her story has evolved into a powerful symbol within New Age spirituality, witchcraft, and popular culture.

We’ll explore questions like:

Is Lilith actually found in Scripture?

Where did the story of Adam’s “first wife” originate?

What does Isaiah 34 really say?

How do ancient Mesopotamian beliefs connect to Lilith?

Why has modern culture embraced her as a symbol of empowerment?

What can Christians learn about spiritual discernment from this topic?

We’ll also examine the broader biblical themes of rebellion, deception, spiritual warfare, and the importance of testing every claim against God’s Word. Rather than building doctrine on folklore or internet speculation, we’ll look carefully at the historical context, the Hebrew text, and what Scripture clearly teaches.

Whether you’ve heard Lilith discussed in connection with ancient mythology, occult practices, feminism, or spiritual warfare, this conversation will equip you to think critically and biblically about one of history’s most mysterious figures.

Are patterns of sin, trauma, addiction, broken relationships, or spiritual oppression truly passed down through family lines? What does the Bible actually say? And how do we find lasting freedom through Jesus?

We explore key Scriptures like Exodus 20:5, Ezekiel 18, Galatians 3:13, and 2 Corinthians 10:3-5. Through honest conversation, personal stories, guest insights (if applicable), and biblical truth, we unpack how sin creates cycles—but Christ breaks them. This isn’t about superstition or fear; it’s about discernment, repentance, renewal of the mind, and walking in the victory already won at the cross.

Whether you’re seeing repeating struggles in your family (addiction, poverty mindsets, anger, occult involvement, etc.) or want to leave a godly legacy, this episode equips you with truth and practical steps. The cycle stops here—in Jesus’ name.

Key Takeaway: You are not doomed to repeat your family’s history. In Christ, you are a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). Generational patterns can be recognized, repented of, and replaced with blessing.

What the Bible Says About Generational Curses

The primary verses are in the context of the Ten Commandments and God’s character:

Exodus 20:5-6 (ESV): “You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.”

Similar in Exodus 34:6-7, Numbers 14:18, Deuteronomy 5:9.

Explanation:

“Visiting iniquity” means God allows the natural consequences of sin to ripple through generations—learned behaviors, modeling, environmental factors, and sometimes spiritual oppression where doors were opened (e.g., idolatry, occult). It’s not God actively punishing innocent children, but the outworking of sin in a fallen world. Ezekiel 18:20 clarifies: “The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father…” Each person is accountable.

Understanding Strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:3-5)

“For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ…”

Prayer Against Curses and Strongholds :

Heavenly Father, I come before You in the mighty name of Jesus. I repent for any sin in my life or in my family line that has opened doors to curses or strongholds. I renounce [name specific patterns: addiction, occult, fear, etc.]. I break every generational chain by the blood of Jesus. I declare I am a new creation. Every stronghold is torn down. Holy Spirit, fill me afresh. I choose blessing and obedience. Amen.

In this episode of Beneath the Surface, we dive into the mysteries of the unseen realm, the spiritual world operating beyond human eyes and what Scripture actually says about it. From angels and demons to spiritual warfare, principalities, deception, discernment, and the battle for influence over humanity, we explore the questions many people are afraid to ask inside the church.

Christie and Melissa speak on spiritual warfare, exploring the unseen battle and the influence of spirits and divine beings. They also discuss the nature of angels and demons, idolatry, the supernatural in Christianity, the influence of shadim and demons, and the characteristics of named spirits like Ahab, Absalom, Python, Leviathan, religious, fear, poverty, familiar, and monitoring spirits.

Are unseen forces affecting our thoughts, culture, and daily lives? What did ancient biblical writers understand about the spiritual realm that modern Christianity often avoids?
And how do we stay grounded in truth instead of fear?

We discuss:
• What the Bible says about the unseen realm
• Angels, fallen angels, and spiritual beings
• Spiritual warfare and unseen influences
• Discernment vs deception
• Why people are becoming fascinated with the supernatural again
• How faith in Jesus brings authority, peace, and clarity in spiritual darkness

This conversation goes beyond surface-level Christianity into the deeper spiritual realities woven throughout Scripture. Whether you’re curious, skeptical, or searching for answers, this episode challenges listeners to think critically, stay spiritually aware, and test everything against biblical truth.

🎙️ Beneath the Surface is where we explore the topics many avoid — the hidden, the difficult, and the spiritual truths shaping the world around us.

In this episode of Beneath the Surface, we dive deep into one of the most controversial and fascinating questions in Scripture:
Are we living in the days of Noah?

Jesus Himself said in Matthew 24:37, “As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.” But what exactly did He mean? Most people think Noah’s generation was only judged because of sin and wickedness. But when we begin digging beneath the surface of Genesis 6, the Book of Enoch, ancient civilizations, and the spiritual corruption happening before the flood, a much deeper picture starts to emerge.

In this episode we explore:

• The true conditions of the world before the flood
• The Nephilim, giants, and the “sons of God” in Genesis 6
• The Watchers and forbidden knowledge given to humanity
• Why Noah was described as “perfect in his generations”
• The explosion of violence, corruption, confusion, and moral decay in modern culture
• The obsession with transhumanism, genetic manipulation, AI, and playing “god”
• Whether ancient rebellion is repeating itself in new forms today
• Spiritual deception, distractions, and the battle for truth
• Why so many people feel like something is deeply “off” in the world right now
• How biblical prophecy connects to our current generation
• Why discernment and knowing God’s Word matters more than ever

We also talk about the parallels many believers are beginning to notice between Noah’s time and today’s world — not to create fear, but to encourage people to wake up spiritually, seek truth, and stay grounded in Jesus Christ.

This conversation goes beyond surface-level Christianity and asks the hard questions many churches avoid discussing:
What was really happening before the flood?
Why did God reset the earth?
Could history be repeating itself?
And how do we live faithfully in a world filled with deception, confusion, and spiritual warfare?

Whether you’re new to these topics or have spent years studying the unseen realm, this episode will challenge you to think deeper, test everything against Scripture, and consider what it truly means to be living in prophetic times.

If you’ve ever felt like the world is changing rapidly… if you’ve questioned what’s happening spiritually beneath the surface… or if you’ve wondered whether biblical warnings are unfolding in real time — this episode is for you.

🎙️ Join us LIVE as we unpack ancient mysteries, biblical prophecy, spiritual warfare, the days of Noah, Genesis 6, giants, Nephilim, and the unseen battle happening all around us.

📖 Key Scriptures Discussed:
Genesis 6
Matthew 24
Luke 17
2 Peter 2
Jude 1

But when we begin digging beneath the surface of Genesis 6, the Book of Enoch, ancient civilizations, and the spiritual corruption happening before the flood, a much deeper picture starts to emerge.</p><p></p><p>In this episode we explore:</p><p>• The true conditions of the world before the flood<br />• The Nephilim, giants, and the “sons of God” in Genesis 6<br />• The Watchers and forbidden knowledge given to humanity<br />• Why Noah was described as “perfect in his generations”<br />• The explosion of violence, corruption, confusion, and moral decay in modern culture<br />• The obsession with transhumanism, genetic manipulation, AI, and playing “god”<br />• Whether ancient rebellion is repeating itself in new forms today<br />• Spiritual deception, distractions, and the battle for truth<br />• Why so many people feel like something is deeply “off” in the world right now<br />• How biblical prophecy connects to our current generation<br />• Why discernment and knowing God’s Word matters more than ever</p><p></p><p>We also talk about the parallels many believers are beginning to notice between Noah’s time and today’s world — not to create fear, but to encourage people to wake up spiritually, seek truth, and stay grounded in Jesus Christ.</p><p>This conversation goes beyond surface-level Christianity and asks the hard questions many churches avoid discussing:<br />What was really happening before the flood?<br />Why did God reset the earth?<br />Could history be repeating itself?<br />And how do we live faithfully in a world filled with deception, confusion, and spiritual warfare?</p><p></p><p>Whether you’re new to these topics or have spent years studying the unseen realm, this episode will challenge you to think deeper, test everything against Scripture, and consider what it truly means to be living in prophetic times.</p><p>If you’ve ever felt like the world is changing rapidly… if you’ve questioned what’s happening spiritually beneath the surface… or if you’ve wondered whether biblical warnings are unfolding in real time — this episode is for you.</p><p></p><p>🎙️ Join us LIVE as we unpack ancient mysteries, biblical prophecy, spiritual warfare, the days of Noah, Genesis 6, giants, Nephilim, and the unseen battle happening all around us.</p><p></p><p>📖 Key Scriptures Discussed:<br />Genesis 6<br />Matthew 24<br />Luke 17<br />2 Peter 2<br />Jude 1</p><p></p><p>⚠️ Disclaimer:<br />This episode contains theological discussion, biblical interpretation, and exploration of ancient texts and ideas. We encourage listeners to study Scripture for themselves, seek discernment, and test all things through the Word of God.</p><p></p><p>#DaysofNoah #Genesis6 #Nephilim #SpiritualWarfare #BiblicalProphecy #EndTimes #BookOfEnoch #Giants #Jesus #BeneathTheSurface</p><p></p><p>Chapters</p><ul><li>00:00 Living in the Days of Noah</li><li>34:28 Biblical Love vs. Lust</li><li>40:14 The Mysticism of Merkaba</li><li>45:31 The Connection to Sacred Geometry</li><li>55:07 The Great Deception of Aliens</li><li>01:11:05 The Intersection of Technology and Spirituality</li><li>01:17:05 The Disconnection from Other Realms and the Third Eye</li><li>01:22:33 The End Times and the Importance of Faith</li><li>01:29:47 The Power of Jesus and Overcoming Fear</li><li>01:39:29 Exploring the Influence of New Age and Spiritual Doors</li></ul>no01:27:07Are We In The Days of Noah?full<![CDATA[Fee Fi Fo Fum]]>Are fairytales actually stories passed down from generations that encountered the Nephilim before and after the flood?

They go into the details of the dangers of seeking spiritual knowledge and the deception of the enemy. The influence of the Holy Spirit and gifted prophets are truly God given gifts that are there to help guide us. We need to learn how to use discernment to decipher between the "kind of spirit" are we listening to.

There are costs of seeking information outside of God. The deceptive nature of dark paths, and the allure of witchcraft in popular culture, including the acceptance of witchcraft by celebrities make it very enticing to want that kind of power and control of your life.

Bottom line is Christ is King and all of the other voices are there to get you to rely on yourself instead of seeking Him. If you are into the new age culture, divine feminine movement, or witchcraft this episode is one that hopefully will shine light on what is really behind it all.

In this episode of Beneath the Surface, Melissa and Christie dive into one of the most foundational truths in Scripture: humanity was created to reflect God. But from the garden to today, there has always been a battle over identity, worship, and image.

We talk about how idols are not just ancient statues or carved images — they can also be approval, success, beauty, power, comfort, fear, control, culture, or anything else that begins shaping us more than God does.

Together, we explore questions like:

What does “image of God” really mean?
How do idols form us without us realizing it?
Are we reflecting God’s truth, or conforming to the world around us?
How do we return to our true identity in Christ?

We go beneath the surface of identity, worship, spiritual formation, and the unseen battle over who we are becoming.

Scripture references may include:
Genesis 1:26–27
Romans 12:2
2 Corinthians 3:18
Colossians 1:15
Ephesians 4:22–24
Psalm 115:4–8

If you’ve ever questioned who you are, what you were created for, or why the world is constantly trying to define you — this episode is for you.

Listen now and let’s go deeper.
