This week, the world lost a giant among Bible scholars, and we lost a good friend: Dr. Michael Heiser.<\/p>\n\n\n

Mike went out of his way to share his research with what he called “Christian Middle-Earth”–those of us who aren’t scholars, but who want more theological meat than we get in most churches (and most corners of the Internet).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mike passed into glory this past Monday, February 20, 2023 at the age of 60 following an 18-month struggle with an aggressive pancreatic cancer. He worked right up to the end, setting an example and leaving a legacy for all of us in the Body of Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here we present our very first conversation with Mike, recorded in the spring of 2005, when this podcast was still called Mytharc Radio, on a jury-rigged setup the involved cheap gaming headset mics, a Radio Shack gizmo alligator-clipped to our house phone, a Sony video camera, and a laptop–hence the awful quality of the audio. But this conversation literally changed the course of our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Farewell, Mike, until we meet again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
