January 15, 2026: The Unseen Realm by Michael Heiser: A Conversation with Dr. Stan Wilson Dr. Michael Heiser's book The Unseen Realm has generated a significant following among followers of Jesus. He affirms, what he calls, a "Divine Council Worldview." The one God, who is triune, created one family that consists of both heavenly beings and earthly beings. Some of the heavenly beings constitute a Divine Council who partner with God in ruling the cosmos. Humanity upon the earth partners with God in shepherding the earth. Together, God co-rules with these free agents who, in the course of history, have chosen to rebel. So, the present moment is a conflict between those heavenly beings who rebelled and the reign of God, and the heavenly beings are in the process of enslaving humanity. What do we make of this picture? What are its strong points, and what are its pitfalls? Dr. Stan Wilson, a friend and mentee of Dr. Heiser, will offer his perspective and dialogue with us about Heiser's proposals. Join us for this Zoom conversation.
