What do the Nephilim have to do with your faith? Are they just ancient footnotes—or a window into a much bigger spiritual reality? What ultimately is the role of giants in the biblical narrative?Welcome to the wrap-up episode on our Nephilim series! In this final episode of our Nephilim series, Keagan Walz and Dr. Mark Chavalas reflect on everything we’ve uncovered: Genesis 6, the “sons of God,” ancient Mesopotamian texts, Jewish traditions, and the mysterious Apkallu. We explore unanswered questions and look to answer why the Nephilim matter—not as a fringe topic, but as a meaningful thread in the biblical narrative. These ancient figures reveal the Bible’s supernatural worldview, deepen our understanding of divine rebellion, and expand our perspective on the spiritual reality behind the text.
In This Episode:
Why the Nephilim are more than just ancient footnotes The tension of the Nephilim both before and after the flood The link between naming, identity, and power in the ancient world Why the number seven keeps showing up—and what it meant to ancient people What Paul really meant by “principalities and powers” How Mesopotamian myths like the Apkallu parallel—but also differ from—the Nephilim

Why This Episode Matters:Understanding the Nephilim isn’t about sensationalism—it’s about seeing the full depth of the biblical world. From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible assumes a supernatural framework that modern readers often miss. This episode helps recover that lens and invites you to read Scripture more faithfully and fully.
