May 29

📄 Episode Overview

In Episode #321, Ray Doustdar sits down with Pastor Steven Anderson, an independent Baptist preacher whose bold takes on Christianity, Israel, Islam, and American evangelicalism deliver one of the most intense Deep Shallow Dive conversations to date. Pastor Anderson discusses his rejection of Zionist doctrine after a deep dive into scripture, critiques the Schofield Bible’s political influence, and drops truth bombs on cult religions, 9/11, and the distortion of modern faith. Whether you agree or not, this episode forces hard questions.

🧠 Key Takeaways

✝️ Faith Alone, Not Works
Baptists believe salvation comes by believing in Jesus—not through church, baptism, or behavior. Faith is the only requirement.

🇮🇱 “Jews Are Not God’s Chosen People”
Anderson outlines his shift from blind pro-Israel support to a theology that asserts Christians—not modern Israel—are the true chosen people.

🎬 Marching to Zion Documentary
His film Marching to Zion exposes what he calls the “Zionist hijacking” of American Christianity and includes interviews with four rabbis.

🕌 Islam, Mormonism & Jehovah’s Witnesses
Anderson doesn’t hold back, describing these religions as corruptions or cults—citing historical facts and doctrinal inconsistencies.

🏢 9/11 Skepticism & Building 7
He calls 9/11 an inside job, highlighting Building 7 and questioning the physics and phone call narratives from that day.
