![The History of the Word God | Reformed Fringe
What does the word God really mean? Has it always meant the same thing? In this episode, Jon Moffitt and Doug Van Dorn dive deep into the etymology of Elohim, Theos, Deus, and God, unpacking how language and culture have shaped our understanding of the divine. We tackle questions of monotheism, the supernatural worldview of Scripture, and why context matters more than capitalization. Whether you’re a theology nerd or simply curious about how words shape belief, this discussion will challenge and expand the way you read your Bible.

![Prayer as Spiritual Warfare? | Kingdoms Unveiled [34]
Christians often examine their “prayer lives,” wondering if they are praying correctly, praying enough, or if their prayers are effective at all. As with other elements of the Christian life, we can rob prayer of its inherent supernatural power by imposing our own fleshly expectations upon it. In this episode, Jon and Doug discuss how prayer is less about an action and more about a lifestyle, and how this means of grace is used by our Lord to wage war in the spiritual realm.

![Old to Calvin, New to Heiser | Reformed Fringe
Is the divine council worldview just fringe theology? Or can it actually fit within confessional Reformed categories? That’s the tension we’re pressing into in this episode. Jon Moffitt and Doug Van Dorn take on the growing pushback from some in the Reformed world who see divine council theology, popularized by Michael Heiser, as incompatible with Reformed theology and the confessions. But is that critique fair? Can you hold to historic Reformed orthodoxy and affirm that the supernatural worldview of the Bible includes a real, functioning heavenly host? Is it heretical? Or just unfamiliar? And why have so many Reformed voices, past and present, quietly affirmed far more than some are comfortable admitting? If youve felt the tension between confessional boundaries and the weird-but-biblical parts of Scripture, this one’s for you.
