EP: 320 The Samson Super Soldier with Abe Hepler

In this episode, we're joined by theologian and storyteller Abe Hepler for a deep dive into one of the Bible’s most enigmatic figures: Samson. But this isn't your typical Sunday school take. Abe explores the parallels between Samson and the modern myth of the super soldier — from Captain America to sci-fi cyborgs — unpacking themes of strength, control, sacrifice, and divine purpose. What happens when divine power meets human impulse? And how does Samson’s story resonate in a world obsessed with power and performance?  This Episode is Sponsored By: https://homechef.com/blurry — Get 50% off, free Shipping on your first box, and Free Dessert for Life! https://bravebooks.com — Get 15% off when you use code BLURRY. 👕 Merch from "Blurry Creatures" https://www.blurrycreatures.com/store Become a member! https://blurrycreatures.supercast.com Get our Book of Enoch! https://amzn.to/4gpV4yZ Listen to Blurry Creatures: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/blurry-creatures/id1526885135 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5uPilMKgeZRAJ2AVwSdFRL?si=f42b58855ac7417e Website: blurrycreatures.com Blurry Creatures Socials https://www.tiktok.com/@blurrycreatures https://www.instagram.com/blurrycreatures https://www.facebook.com/blurrycreatures/ https://www.twitter.com/blurrycreatures/ Special Thanks for Platinum Members!
