  • The Coins of Jesus' Time: What Ancient Money Reveals | Dean Kinzer

    The Coins of Jesus' Time: What Ancient Money Reveals | Dean Kinzer
    Oct 22 2026
    What did money look like when Jesus walked the earth? Could you actually own a coin like the ones circulating in Jerusalem during His ministry? In this episode of **Broadcasting Seeds**, Bennett Tanton sits down with **Dean Kinzer**, Iraq War veteran, ancient coin expert, and founder of Kinzer Coins, to explore the extraordinary history preserved in ancient currency. These coins weren't simply money. They carried the images of emperors, declarations of power, religious symbols, military victories, and political messages. Some circulated in the same world described in the New Testament. From the tribute penny of Tiberius Caesar to the widow's mite, the silver shekels associated with the Temple, and the mysterious thirty pieces of silver paid to Judas, Dean helps us understand the physical world of biblical history. But the conversation goes far beyond Jerusalem. We explore how Julius Caesar broke centuries of Roman tradition by placing his own portrait on currency, why Brutus celebrated Caesar's assassination on a coin, how Augustus used money as political propaganda, and why Byzantine emperors eventually placed images of Jesus Christ on their currency. **In this episode:** - The tribute penny and the coins circulating during Jesus' ministry - The widow's mite and its connection to Scripture - What the thirty pieces of silver paid to Judas may have been - Julius Caesar's coinage and the collapse of the Roman Republic - Brutus and the famous EID MAR assassination coin - Ancient Roman propaganda and political messaging - The earliest Byzantine coins depicting Jesus Christ - How ancient currency connects us to biblical and military history - How ordinary people can begin collecting authentic ancient coins Dean also shares the deeply personal story of inheriting his father's collection and discovering a passion for preserving history that became Kinzer Coins. **ABOUT OUR GUEST** Dean Kinzer is an Iraq War veteran and the founder of Kinzer Coins, a business dedicated to making ancient coin collecting accessible while teaching the history behind each piece.

  • Did God Replace Israel? What Romans 11 Actually Says | Little Season EP 3

    Did God Replace Israel? What Romans 11 Actually Says | Little Season EP 3
    Oct 21 2026
    **Did God replace Israel with the Church, or does He still have a plan for the Jewish people?** For nearly 2,000 years, Christians have debated the meaning of Romans 11, God's promises to Abraham, and the future of Israel. But what if the answer becomes clearer when we connect Israel's story to the Tower of Babel, the Divine Council, and God's plan to reclaim the nations? In Episode 3 of **The Little Season Arc**, Broadcasting Seeds examines one of Christianity's most divisive theological questions: **Has the Church replaced Israel?** We examine two major interpretations, dispensationalism and covenant theology, testing their arguments against Scripture rather than denominational traditions. Romans 11 describes Israel as the natural branches of an olive tree and Gentile believers as wild branches grafted into that same tree. Paul warns Gentile Christians not to become arrogant toward the natural branches. He also declares that God's gifts and calling are irrevocable. So what does that mean for Israel, the Church, and the fulfillment of biblical prophecy? **In this episode:** - Why Revelation 20 says Satan is bound from deceiving the nations - The connection between the Tower of Babel, Deuteronomy 32, and the Divine Council - Why God called Abraham immediately after the scattering of the nations - Dispensationalism vs. covenant theology and their strongest biblical arguments - What Romans 11 really teaches about Israel and the Church - The meaning of the natural and grafted olive branches - Why Paul says that all Israel will be saved - What Jesus meant when the disciples asked about restoring the kingdom to Israel - How Israel's restoration and the salvation of the nations fit into God's redemptive plan This isn't an argument about modern political loyalties. It's an examination of what Scripture teaches about God's promises, His people, and the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. **Key Scriptures:** Revelation 20:1–8, Deuteronomy 32:8–9, Genesis 12:1–3, Romans 9–11, Galatians 3, Ephesians 2–3, Acts 1:6–8, Acts 3:19–21, Romans 15. **The central question:** Did God replace Israel, or has His plan always been to bring Israel and the nations together through Jesus Christ? Share your interpretation in the comments. Let's examine Scripture together. 🎙️ **Broadcasting Seeds** explores biblical mysteries, spiritual warfare, ancient history, prophecy, and the supernatural worldview of Scripture.

  • Did Jesus Already Return in 70 AD? The Little Season Theory Tested | The Little Season EP 2

    Did Jesus Already Return in 70 AD? The Little Season Theory Tested | The Little Season EP 2
    Oct 20 2026
    What if Jesus Christ already returned in 70 AD, the thousand-year reign of Revelation 20 has ended, and we're living in Satan's Little Season right now? That's the claim spreading across Christian YouTube, often connected to Tartaria, mud floods, phantom time, forgotten civilizations, and the idea that history has been deliberately rewritten. But does the evidence actually support it? In Episode 2 of **The Little Season** series, Bennett Tanton of Broadcasting Seeds investigates one of the most controversial interpretations of biblical prophecy circulating today. Rather than dismissing the theory, we're putting its strongest arguments to the test, using Scripture, early Christian writings, historical records, and documented evidence. **IN THIS EPISODE:** - What Satan's Little Season theory actually claims - Did Jesus physically return when Jerusalem fell in 70 AD? - What Revelation 20 really says about Satan's release - Why Tartaria appears on historical maps - The mysterious White City of the 1893 Chicago World's Fair - Mud floods, buried buildings, and star forts - The orphan trains and phantom time theory - What early Christians believed about Christ's Second Coming - Paul's warning about those claiming the resurrection already happened - Why our hope remains in the promised return of Jesus Christ **SCRIPTURES EXAMINED:** Revelation 20:1–10 Matthew 24:23–27 Acts 1:9–11 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17 2 Thessalonians 2:1–3 2 Timothy 2:16–19 2 Peter 3:3–9 Titus 2:11–13 Revelation 22:20 **THE BIG QUESTION:** If Satan has already been released to deceive the nations, how do we know the Little Season theory itself isn't part of that deception? This episode isn't about attacking Christians who ask difficult questions. It's about examining claims honestly, testing the evidence, and holding fast to what Scripture teaches. Our faith isn't built on a forgotten empire, an altered calendar, or an old map. Our hope is in Jesus Christ. And the King is still coming.

  • The 1,000-Year Reign of Christ: 4 Views of Revelation 20 Explained | The Little Season EP1

    The 1,000-Year Reign of Christ: 4 Views of Revelation 20 Explained | The Little Season EP1
    Oct 19 2026
    What does Revelation 20 actually teach about the thousand-year reign of Jesus Christ? Is the Millennium happening now, or will Christ return to establish a literal kingdom on Earth? Six verses. Four major interpretations. Nearly 2,000 years of Christian disagreement. In Episode 1 of **The Little Season**, Bennett Tanton examines the four major Christian interpretations of Revelation 20, their biblical foundations, their historical origins, and the questions each interpretation must answer. **The four views examined:** - **Dispensational Premillennialism:** Christ returns before a literal thousand-year kingdom, with a distinct role for Israel. - **Historic Premillennialism:** Christ returns before the Millennium, but without the modern dispensational framework. - **Amillennialism:** The thousand years symbolically describe Christ's present reign. - **Postmillennialism:** The gospel transforms the nations before Christ returns. We also examine what early Christians believed, including Justin Martyr, Papias, and Irenaeus, and how later theologians such as Augustine and John Nelson Darby shaped Christian expectations about the end times. **Questions explored in this episode:** - Is Revelation 20 describing a literal thousand years? - Does the Millennium happen before or after Christ's return? - What does it mean that Satan is bound? - Who participates in the first resurrection? - Are the saints reigning in heaven or on Earth? - What did Christians believe about the Millennium before modern prophecy charts? - Can Christians disagree about Revelation 20 and remain united in the faith? One of the earliest Christian witnesses to a literal Millennium, Justin Martyr, acknowledged that other faithful Christians understood the passage differently. His distinction matters today. **The center of Revelation 20 is not a timeline. It is a King.** And the resurrection, the return of Jesus Christ, and His eternal kingdom remain at the center of Christian hope. 📖 **Primary Scripture:** Revelation 20:1–10 (KJV) **Supporting Scripture:** John 5:25–29, Matthew 24–25, 1 Corinthians 15, Ephesians 2, Daniel 7, Psalm 110, Revelation 6 and Revelation 22.

  • Is Satan Already Bound? What Jesus Said Changes Everything | Sunday Seeds

    Is Satan Already Bound? What Jesus Said Changes Everything | Sunday Seeds
    Oct 18 2026
    **Is Satan already bound, or is the binding of Satan in Revelation 20 still in the future?** Jesus said something in Matthew 12 that could change how Christians understand spiritual warfare, the authority of Satan, and the victory of Jesus Christ. When the Pharisees accused Jesus of casting out demons through the power of Beelzebul, Jesus answered with a remarkable picture: before someone can plunder a strong man's house, he must first bind the strong man. Was Jesus describing something that had already begun? And if Satan has been bound, why does the world still seem so full of darkness? In this episode of **Sunday Seeds**, we examine Matthew 12:22–29, Luke 11, and Revelation 20:1–3 to understand what Scripture actually says about Satan's power, Christ's victory, and the meaning of the great chain and seal. We also examine the writings of Augustine, ancient Jewish accounts of rebellious spiritual beings, and the connection between the sealed tomb of Jesus and the sealed abyss of Revelation. **In this episode:** - What Jesus meant when He spoke about binding the strong man - The connection between Matthew 12 and Revelation 20 - Why Satan can still be active if his power has been restricted - The meaning of the chain, the abyss, and the seal - How early Christians understood Satan's binding - What 1 Enoch, Jubilees, and other ancient writings contribute to the historical discussion - Why Christians should approach spiritual warfare with faith instead of fear - How Christ's victory changes the way we live today **This episode introduces THE LITTLE SEASON, our new Broadcasting Seeds series examining the millennium, Satan's binding and release, the deception of the nations, and Gog and Magog.** Sunday Seeds is our weekly gathering centered on Scripture, prayer, and encouragement in Jesus Christ. **Scripture:** Matthew 12:22–29 | Revelation 20:1–3 | Luke 11:14–23 | Luke 13:10–17 | John 12:31–32 | Colossians 2:15 | Hebrews 2:14–15 | Ephesians 6:10–18 Bible translations: Berean Standard Bible (BSB) and King James Version (KJV). 🙏 **PRAYER REQUESTS:** Share your requests in the comments, even if all you can say is "Pray for me."

  • Are You Taking Communion Unworthily? The Warning in 1 Corinthians 11 | Testing the Spirits

    Are You Taking Communion Unworthily? The Warning in 1 Corinthians 11 | Testing the Spirits
    Oct 17 2026
    Are you taking communion unworthily? The Apostle Paul issued a serious warning in 1 Corinthians 11 about approaching the Lord's Table without examining ourselves. But what does that warning mean for Christians today?In this episode of Testing the Spirits, Bennett Tanton welcomes Laura Baker, author of Communion with the King, to explore the biblical meaning of communion, the Lord's Supper, repentance, forgiveness, and our relationship with Jesus Christ.Communion is more than eating bread and drinking from a cup. It is an opportunity to remember the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, examine our hearts, and consider whether we are truly walking in fellowship with Him.In this episode, we discuss:
    • What Jesus taught about the Bread of Life in John 6
    • Paul's warning about taking communion unworthily in 1 Corinthians 11
    • Why repentance and forgiveness matter before the Lord's Table
    • The difference between religious ritual and genuine communion with Christ
    • Bitterness, unforgiveness, pride, and division within the Body of Christ
    • Spiritual nourishment, prayer, and gratitude
    • The difference between conviction and condemnation
    • Laura Baker's book, Communion with the King
    • A closing prayer focused on repentance and forgiveness
    Bennett also shares a reminder every Christian should consider:You can participate in communion without actually being in communion with Christ.Taking the bread and cup does not save us. Jesus Christ saves us. Communion should direct our hearts toward His sacrifice and call us to examine how we live before Him.SCRIPTURES DISCUSSED

  • Ancient Folklore vs. Biblical Reality: What Walks Among Us?

    Ancient Folklore vs. Biblical Reality: What Walks Among Us?
    Oct 16 2026
    What if the unseen world contains more than the categories of angels and demons we grew up hearing about? In the final episode of the **Elohim Series**, Bennett Tanton explores one of the strangest accounts in Scripture: the woman at Endor who saw the dead prophet Samuel and described what she witnessed as *Elohim*. Why would the same Hebrew word associated with God and other spiritual beings be used in this encounter? That question takes us deep into the forgotten supernatural vocabulary of the Bible and across centuries of encounters, legends, and theological debate. **In this episode, we investigate:** - The Bene Elohim and the spiritual powers associated with the nations - The Nephilim, Watchers, and the possibility of a second incursion after the Flood - The jinn of Arabian tradition and the fair folk of Scotland and Ireland - Robert Kirk's mysterious *Secret Commonwealth* - Jacques Vallée's comparisons between fairy encounters and modern UFO reports - The Sheddim, Se'irim, Lilith, and Rephaim in ancient Hebrew texts - The Dead Sea Scrolls and the spirits described in the *Songs of the Sage* - The biblical account of Saul, Samuel, and the medium at Endor - Modern claims of alien abduction and non-human intelligence - Why Christians must test the spirits rather than seek contact with them - The resurrection, the redeemed children of God, and the final authority of Jesus Christ **This is not an argument that every unexplained encounter is supernatural.** We distinguish between what Scripture actually teaches, what ancient traditions claim, what witnesses report, and what remains speculation. The central question isn't simply what might exist beyond our understanding. It's who holds authority over everything seen and unseen. And Scripture points us to one answer: Jesus Christ. 📖 **Key Scripture:** Genesis 6:4; Deuteronomy 32:8–17; Psalm 82; Isaiah 24:21–22; 1 Samuel 28; Isaiah 34:14; Daniel 10; Luke 10; 1 Corinthians 8 and 10; Ephesians 6; 1 John 3:2; Romans 8; Revelation 3:21. 📚 **The Second Incursion: Fallen Beings, Giants, and What Walks Among Us Still** Explore Bennett's research into the Watchers, giants, territorial powers, and the connections between ancient supernatural traditions and modern encounters. https://bennetttantonbooks.com 🎙️ **Support Broadcasting Seeds on Patreon** Get ad-free episodes and exclusive content.

  • Is the American Empire Dying? Jeremy Ryan Slate on Rome

    Is the American Empire Dying? Jeremy Ryan Slate on Rome
    Oct 15 2026
    Is America repeating the mistakes that destroyed Rome? The Roman Empire didn't collapse overnight. Its currency deteriorated, political institutions lost their authority, emergency powers became permanent, and public confidence slowly disappeared. Sound familiar? In this episode of Broadcasting Seeds, Bennett sits down with Jeremy Ryan Slate, creator of The Roman Pattern, to explore the historical patterns behind the rise and decline of civilizations, and what those patterns might reveal about America today. Jeremy studied Roman propaganda and the transformation of the Roman Republic into an Empire. He brings that historical perspective to a conversation about money, power, corruption, citizenship, political legitimacy, and the gradual weakening of institutions. **In this conversation:** - Why Rome's monetary debasement destroyed public confidence - The Crisis of the Third Century and the struggle for political power - How Augustus transformed a republic into an empire without eliminating its institutions - Why governments rarely surrender emergency powers - Roman citizenship, borders, and the importance of shared identity - How propaganda turns political leaders into symbols of salvation - The uncomfortable parallels between Rome and modern America - Why political incentives can reward corruption and incompetence - How churches, families, and local communities survive when governments fail - Why Jeremy still believes there is reason for hope One of the most interesting questions in this interview isn't whether America will collapse. It's whether Americans would even recognize the warning signs while their institutions are still functioning. **ABOUT THE GUEST** Jeremy Ryan Slate is an author, podcaster, and creator of The Roman Pattern. His work examines Roman history, political authority, propaganda, economic decline, and the recurring pressures facing civilizations. Find Jeremy Ryan Slate on YouTube at The Roman Pattern and on social media under Jeremy Ryan Slate. **ABOUT BROADCASTING SEEDS** Broadcasting Seeds explores the intersections of biblical history, hidden history, faith, institutional power, spiritual questions, and the mysteries that challenge our understanding of the world. Subscribe for in-depth conversations and investigations that question accepted narratives and examine the evidence. **JOIN THE CONVERSATION** Do you believe America is experiencing the decline of a republic, the decline of an empire, or something entirely different?
