Many seers report seeing spirits in nature — in trees, rivers, mountains, or storms. Some Christian voices call all of this witchcraft. Others embrace pagan ideas of “elementals.” So what’s really going on?
In this episode, Doug and Emily begin to unpack the biblical, historical, and spiritual realities behind nature spirits.
We’ll look at what ancient cultures believed about “elementals,” how Scripture uses the word stoicheion, and what it means that creation “praises God.”
- We also discuss nature spirits in pre-Christian Europe and medieval imagination
- Stoicheion and the biblical worldview of “elemental powers”
- How creation worships by functioning as God designed... but there are other ways to read those passages.
- Why fear-based, hyper-religious teaching about nature spirits distorts truth
- How false prophets minister to spirits, but true prophets minister to humans
We shares frustration with modern Christian fear-mongering online, and together we respond with a Kingdom of God mindset:
“Learn to hear the Holy Spirit, know the Scriptures, and find freedom in Christ.
God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.”
Whether you’re a seer, a skeptic, or simply curious about how creation reveals God’s glory, this episode invites you to see the world the way Jesus did — alive with meaning, yet under His authority.
We unpack a lot, and decide Doug is left wanting to think about what was discussed, to conclude the conversation on nature spirits next week.
