What if the UFO phenomenon isn’t what we’ve been told it is

Ali Siadatan’s journey into the subject began with something he never expected...a close-range UFO encounter in the deserts of Iran. He describes watching a massive, glowing object descend toward the earth, align with a mysterious structure rising from the ground, and then disappear beneath the surface.

That experience sent him down a decades-long investigation into UFOs, ancient civilizations, angels, the Nephilim, principalities, and some of the most overlooked passages in the Bible.

In this episode of No Longer Nomads, Ali challenges the modern idea that UFOs must be extraterrestrial visitors from distant planets. Instead, he asks whether the phenomenon we're witnessing today could be connected to something far older...something Scripture has been describing all along.

What if you woke up in the middle of the night… and suddenly found yourself in hell?

Bill Wiese, author of the bestselling book 23 Minutes in Hell, says that’s exactly what happened to him.

On November 23, 1998, Bill says he was pulled from his body and found himself in a prison cell—surrounded by overwhelming heat, darkness, terrifying demonic creatures, and the screams of people in torment. For 23 minutes, he says he experienced a place so horrifying that it completely changed the direction of his life. But Bill’s story isn’t simply about fear.

In this episode of No Longer Nomads, Josh Doyle and Matt Ridley sit down with Bill to hear the full story behind 23 Minutes in Hell and examine the biblical passages that he believes support what he witnessed.

AI isn’t coming someday. It’s already here—and it’s beginning to change what it means to be human.

People are forming romantic relationships with AI. Companies are developing humanoid robots. Scientists are exploring brain-computer interfaces, radical life extension, and even digital versions of people that could “live” after they die.

So where does this go next?

In this episode of No Longer Nomads, Josh sits down with Tom Dosch for a wide-ranging conversation about AI, transhumanism, Neuralink, the future of work, digital immortality, AI consciousness, and what all of this could mean for the next generation.

Steve Kang was raised as a devout Buddhist, believing it could take millions of years and countless lifetimes to finally reach Nirvana.

Then one night, everything changed.

After taking dr*gs that he says were unknowingly laced, Steve spiraled into days of fear, confusion, and intense spiritual darkness. Eventually, he says a being appeared to him with a terrifying offer: take your own life, and 50,000 years of hell will be taken away. Steve believed it.

What followed was a s****de attempt, a fight for his life in the hospital, and a near-death experience Steve says took him somewhere he never believed existed. Hell.

In this episode of No Longer Nomads, Steve shares his journey from Buddhism to Christianity, his near-death experience, the demonic encounter that nearly ended his life, and how his survival ultimately transformed not only his faith—but his family.

📖 Steve Kang is the author of Eight Hours in Hell and founder of Revive the Nations.

What happens when you spend years investigating Bigfoot, UFOs, demons, strange dreams, and the unexplained… and the unexplained starts following YOU home?

For our 100th episode of No Longer Nomads, we sit down with Nate and Luke from Blurry Creatures for a wild conversation about the “Hitchhiker Effect”—the idea that prolonged exposure to paranormal phenomena may lead to strange encounters of your own.

From a bizarre dream about hundreds of green parrots that seemingly came true the very next day, to two roommates experiencing nearly identical terrifying dreams, unexplained figures caught on security cameras, strange activity inside their homes, and encounters that seem impossible to dismiss as coincidence… this conversation goes deep.

But underneath the paranormal stories is a much bigger question: What if the supernatural world described in Scripture is far more real—and far closer—than modern Christianity is comfortable admitting?

We explore Bigfoot, Genesis 6, prophetic dreams, demons, spiritual warfare, UFO phenomena, the power of Jesus’ name, and why the Church may be dangerously unprepared to talk about the supernatural.

The guys also share how a podcast that started with a simple question about Bigfoot eventually became a vehicle for conversations about Scripture, the Gospel, and people encountering Christ in some of the darkest moments of their lives.

• Is the “Hitchhiker Effect” real?

• Can supernatural encounters follow you home?

• Can God use dreams to get our attention?

• And what happens when the paranormal collides with a biblical worldview?

Welcome to Episode 100 of No Longer Nomads.

QUESTION:Have you ever experienced something you simply couldn’t explain?

The Apostle Paul explained by a historian: short, bald, likely a widower, circumcised Timothy himself, once preached circumcision, and may have died wondering if he'd failed.

Josh sits down with historian, archaeologist and August Media founder Dr. Matthew Larsen — Yale, Princeton, Copenhagen, and now a chaired professor at the University of Texas — to meet the Paul most Christians never have. A former persecutor and a maverick who clashed with the apostles who'd walked with Jesus, whose letters are blunter in Greek than any translation shows, and whose whole life pointed at Jerusalem before he was shipped to Rome and executed. Underneath the history is a bigger question: what if you can be faithful to what God called you to and still feel like you're failing?

In this episode:

- Six things people don't know about Paul — appearance, Timothy, circumcision, marriage, Jerusalem, and where he was born

- How the apostles received the man who used to kill them

- Paul vs. the "super-apostles"; why his letters are sharper in Greek

- How did Paul die? Spain, Rome, and the 2008 excavation under St. Paul Outside the Walls

- 1 Corinthians 5: "I will hand this man over to Satan" — what the Greek actually says

- Second Corinthians as four letters stitched together

- Phoebe, Euodia, Syntyche, Junia — the women who funded and led

- Long hair, beards, and what's cultural

- Was Paul's life a success or a failure — and what that means for us
