Mark Hunter Brooks - Science & the Paranormal - Explanations through Wave Based Reality...allegedly

Mark Hunter Brooks has a Masters in Business Administration from New York University. He has managed large IT and business projects for fortune 100 companies in New York.
He has also had several spiritual experiences for the last two decades. He believes he has trained himself to develop these psychic abilities in order to do things like see spiritual entities, speak with spirits and project his consciousness.
Today, he writes and speaks about the mechanics of the non-physical world, helping make what many consider to be mystical easier to understand.
Mr. Brooks comes on the podcast to discuss his new book Earth’s Hidden Reality, which claims that scientific anomalies, miracles in the Bible, and the paranormal can align with physics and natural laws. He also discusses spiritual experiences he has had, such as spiritual entities showing up in his bedroom and projecting his consciousness to the moon (yes...to the moon).
You can find his book "Earth’s Hidden Reality" at Amazon!

He received a B.A. and M.A. in history from Brigham Young University and an M.Phil. and Ph.D., also in history, from the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University.
Much of Harris’s teaching and scholarship explores the intersectionality of religion and law, race and religion, civil rights, and right-wing extremism, particularly among religious groups.
Dr. Mason and Dr. Harris come on the podcast together to discuss faith, their approaches to scholarship, and Dr. Mason's relationship with John Dehlin.
They also discuss the differences between devotional literature (such as what you find at Deseret Book) versus Academic Scholarship and their roles in learning about church history.

Princeton King - Family, Faith, Ministry and Wrestling - the Role of God in a Modern Day Jonah Story

Princeton King is a husband, father, Baptist Minister and pro wrestling announcer.
Princeton was raised by a loving mother and step-father in Daly City, California. He had a rough upbringing, and many people around their neighborhood ended up dead or in juvenile hall. However, Princeton and his siblings felt as though they were supported and had everything they needed. He attributes this to his parents teaching him about God and prayer.
Despite this foundation, his life was not without hardship. He struggled with pornography addiction at an early age. A struggle he continues to deal with. He also has dealt with varying degrees of depression and anxiety.
In his early 20s he felt inspired to preach. He describes himself as a modern day Jonah because he avoided this inspiration for years. Finally, a spiritual experience changed his life and he accepted his call. Once he did, the stresses he once had, disappeared.
He is now the head minister at Corinthian Missionary Baptist Church.
In addition, through his ministry he found himself connecting with members of the NorCal Independent Wrestling scene. Through the 209 Crew and Next Level Pro Wrestling, he became an independent wrestling announcer. He provides ring announcing services for many promotions in the Northern and Central California area.
Princeton comes on the podcast to discuss his journey, the role of God in his life, his struggles with mental health and addiction, his love of pro wrestling and so much more!
