🎙️ DSD INTERVIEW #38 | Baptist Faith, Zionism & the Bible: Pastor Steven Anderson Breaks It Down
✝️ Scripture Over Scofield | Pastor Steven Anderson on Zionism, Christianity & Unshackling the Church
Episode Description: In this high-voltage episode, Ray Doustdar sits down with Pastor Steven Anderson—independent Baptist, biblical literalist, and creator of the viral documentary Marching to Zion—to expose how modern Zionism infiltrated American Christianity. From the King James Bible to 9/11 truth, Pastor Anderson delivers raw, unfiltered takes that challenge everything evangelicals think they know.
Can You Be a Bible-Believing Christian and Oppose Zionism?
In this fiery episode, Pastor Steven Anderson joins Deep Shallow Dive to deliver a biblically grounded rejection of modern Zionism. Raised in a Scofield Bible household and deeply entrenched in pro-Israel evangelicalism, Anderson recounts his personal awakening—how preaching a sermon in 2006 triggered a spiritual reckoning that led him to read the Bible twice, cover to cover, with new eyes. The result: “Zionism is not Christianity. The Jews are not God’s chosen people in the New Testament. Full stop.”
Anderson brings theological receipts, historical context, and deep scriptural references to dismantle decades of political manipulation within the church. He breaks down why the Scofield Bible's footnotes are a Trojan horse for Zionist doctrine, why Romans 11 is often misused, and how John Hagee-style Christianity has diluted the Gospel. He even connects the dots between Zionist policy, U.S. spiritual decline, and the assassination of JFK.
This episode is a wake-up call for any Christian trapped in the Zionist matrix—and a bold demand to return to the text, not the commentary.
