- I only listened to the video, so this review is of that material. I have always enjoyed Mike Heiser's insights and writings. His analysis of Stranger Things is no exception. Perhaps someone would object and say that he is reading too much into the narrative, that the authors are not trying to present the Gospel. While it may be true that the there is no hidden religious agenda, yet the issues of life, when accurately presented, reveal the dynamics of our fallen world. It reminds me of many of the older rock songs - the composers had a very accurate grasp on the problems of life - they just did not have an accurate understanding of God's solution. Think, for example, of Kansas' "Dust in the wind," or Simon and Garfunkel's "Patterns." Anyway, the themes Mike presents of life involving the intersection between the two universes or realms - the physical and spiritual, of being lost, and needing supernatural help, and that help being delivered in part by a team, etc., all very true. His analysis could be a wonderful of discussing the Gospel with others.
