Full Transcript

Welcome back to Gloria Creechers. We're excited today. We have Nicholas Dagle on. And the Ozarks, you know, they're thick with strange stories. Mystery Hills, old haulers. They say the Ozark howler lives down there. Deep Woods, kind of place where legends are born and they stick around for a long time in the Ozarks. But Nephilim, are they down there as well? What's the history down there? You wrote a book called Nephilim and the Ozarks, but what are your thoughts on Bigfoot first and foremost? And then we'll get into it. So Bigfoot, I think I kind of ascribed to an LA Marzoli definition where they're a modern day Nephilim, interdimensional creatures. Truthfully, I really don't know. I just I know that there's something that I probably would never want to come in contact with. Unless he's a helpful Bigfoot, Nick, then maybe, you know, maybe he saves you from a pond or something crazy out there. Well, if that's the case, then yeah, probably. Yeah, happily, right? No, this is but this is fun because this kind of goes back to like the early, early days is one of the topics and threads we love to pull on blurry creatures is talking about giants. And you've got a book out Genesis six and the Ozarks, the compilation book on a Christian's perspective of proof, biblical giants are right in our backyards. And the Ozarks are blurry as Nate said, there's a lot of stuff going down in there. There's actually there's mounds, Nate, the mound builders built things in and through those areas as well. You talk about why you wanted to write a book about this. I know that one of the things that we've done a number of times in the show, Nick, is that Dr. someone like Travis Roy, who's got who is like Giants of Ancient America. And what he does is he just compiles all of these old newspaper articles, clippings, etc. of giants being found really seems to happen up until about 1930 or so in that range and then it disappears. But you know, what drew you to look into giants in the Ozarks specifically? So you might have felt like I started at the beginning two years ago. Absolutely. Okay. So really what kind of got me interested in doing this was I took the journey two years ago of reading through Genesis. I had never really taken the time to sit down and read through Genesis at all. I always kind of hung around Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. That was kind of my comfort spot. But I wanted to go start from the beginning, start the basics, and see what, see what Genesis had to offer. I meant, I heard about the flood in Sunday school, and you hear about Abraham, but never read from front to back of Genesis. So I started to read through it.
