Lakepointe
Published on Feb 15, 2026
In this Christmas episode of LIVE FREE, Pastors Josh Howerton, Paul Cunningham, and Carlos Erazo explore the growing interest in the Book of Enoch, angelology, and viral claims that the Bible was “altered” or banned. They walk through the history of the biblical canon, explaining why Jude’s reference to Enoch doesn’t validate the entire book. They dive into the perspective that has gained attention on platforms like Joe Rogan’s podcast to bring clarity to Christians. This episode calls believers to trust God’s Word, resist fear-driven speculation, and focus on the truth & authority already revealed in Scripture.
