The Bible never denied other ‘Gods’, it dethroned them is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast.
Does the Bible Actually Teach There Are “Many Gods”?
In this episode, we tackle a question that surprises many Christians: Why does the Bible talk about “many gods”?
When people encounter passages like Psalm 82 or Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians, it can raise confusion. Does the Bible teach polytheism? Are these “Gods” just idols, metaphors, or something more? Scripture actually presents a much deeper and more supernatural worldview than most believers realize.
Throughout the Bible, we see references to real spiritual beings intelligent, powerful, and active in the unseen realm. Some remain loyal to God, while others have rebelled and now oppose His purposes. Yet the Bible is absolutely clear: there is only one true God—eternal, uncreated, and sovereign—and He has revealed Himself fully in Jesus Christ.
In this conversation, we walk carefully through the Bible’s own language to understand what it means when Scripture refers to “Gods,” the divine council, and the unseen spiritual powers influencing the world today.
In this episode, we discuss:
• What Psalm 82 reveals about God’s divine council
• The meaning of the Hebrew word elohim and why it matters
• Why Jesus quoted “you are gods” in John 10
• What the Apostle Paul meant by “many gods and many lords”
• How Jesus is placed uniquely inside the identity of the one true God
• The rebellion of corrupt spiritual powers in Scripture
• Why the Bible connects idol worship to real demonic forces
• How unseen spiritual powers influence cultures, governments, and systems
• Why the biblical worldview is supernatural—but still firmly monotheistic
This episode will help you see the Bible’s spiritual worldview more clearly and understand why Jesus Christ stands above every power, authority, and spiritual being.
No speculation. No mythology. Just the Bible explaining the Bible.

Talk Freelance To Me: A Podcast for Women Freelancers
Where Self-Employed Women Writers, Freelancers, and Solopreneurs Meet to Master the 1099 Contractor Lifestyle
Are you running your freelance business with intention—or just reacting to deadlines?
It’s easy to stay in motion as a freelancer. Between client work, content marketing, invoicing, and trying to keep up with everything else, we often skip the most important work: thinking strategically about what we want from this business and how we’re actually doing.
On this episode, Ashley is joined by Melanie Padgett Powers, a longtime freelancer, managing editor, writer, and host of The Deliberate Freelancer podcast. She shares why stepping back to plan is essential, how she created the idea of a “solo business retreat,” and what creative freelancers can do to build in reflection time—even if they’re short on capacity.
