In this episode of Curious Verses, we examine the identity of the Nephilim, the rebellion of the “sons of God,” and why ancient readers viewed this moment as an all-out supernatural assault on humanity. Was this merely intermarriage…or a calculated invasion that threatened God’s redemptive plan? Get ready, friends, because this is one of the Bible’s most mysterious and misunderstood passages.

Few passages trouble Christians—and fuel skeptics—like 1 Samuel 15:3, where God appears to command the destruction of an entire people group. In this episode of Curious Verses, Pastor Jason Jimenez tackles one of the Bible’s most disturbing texts head-on.

Rather than dodging the tension, we slow down and read the passage in its historical, cultural, and biblical context. Who were the Amalekites? What does “devoted to destruction” mean? And how do God’s justice, patience, and covenant faithfulness fit together without compromising His goodness?

If you’ve ever wrestled with hard Old Testament passages—or struggled to answer objections about God’s morality—this episode will help you think clearly, biblically, and confidently about why these verses matter and what they teach.

No fluff. No shortcuts. Just careful insight for curious Christians.
