Who are the NEPHILIM in the Bible?! (EXPLAINED) | Live Free with Josh Howerton

In this episode of LIVE FREE, Pastors Carlos Erazo and Paul Cunningham tackle two fascinating and often misunderstood topics: how Christians should think about politics and the mysterious Nephilim in Genesis 6. Looking at Matthew 21, they unpack Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem and the powerful contrast between earthly political power and the kingdom Jesus came to establish. The conversation challenges two common errors Christians make today—treating politics as ultimate hope or ignoring it altogether—and explains how believers can engage culture while keeping their allegiance firmly rooted in Christ.

The discussion then turns to the Nephilim, exploring the three historic interpretations of Genesis 6 and addressing common confusion surrounding the Book of Enoch and popular internet theories. Rather than getting lost in speculation, the hosts bring the focus back to the real message of the passage: humanity’s deep corruption and our desperate need for God’s redemption.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What Jesus’ triumphal entry reveals about the true nature of His kingdom
• The two mistakes Christians make when thinking about politics
• How to discern when leaders misuse Scripture or Christian language
• The three historical views of the Nephilim in Genesis 6
• What the Bible actually says about the Book of Enoch
• Why Genesis 6 ultimately points to humanity’s corruption and God’s judgment
