Not In Church

Why Your Bank Account Doesn't Define Your Future

Stop looking at yesterday's failures and quit obsessing over a future that isn't promised. Darrell opens up about his own recent journey—walking away from a high-paying ministry position due to conviction, facing threats and betrayal, and learning to rely on "God-Math" when the numbers simply didn't add up. This isn't just a motivational talk; it’s a blueprint for spiritual and mental transformation through extreme discipline and a relentless focus on the Kingdom. Whether you are struggling financially, relationally, or spiritually, it’s time to stop punishing yourself for the past. It’s time to pick up your cross and start straining toward what is ahead.

Is Your Pastor a Prophet or a Cult Leader? How to Tell ...

Have you ever felt like something was "off" in your church service, but you couldn't put your finger on it? You aren't alone. Today, millions of Christians are being swept into a movement they don’t even know the name of: The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR). In this podcast, we pull back the curtain on the "Modern Day Prophets" and "Apostles" to ask the tough question: Is your NAR church actually a religious cult? Using the sociological model and historical biblical theology, we break down the 5 major red flags of high-control religious groups. We aren't just looking at the theology; we’re looking at the fruit. We discuss the emotional and spiritual trauma often left in the wake of these ministries and how to find true peace and identity in the finished work of Jesus Christ. If you have felt drained, confused, or manipulated by "prophetic" decrees, this podcast is for you. #NAR #ReligiousCults #SpiritualAbuse #NewApostolicReformation #Discernment #Christianity #ChurchRedFlags #Faith #notinchurch #darrellpuckett

The "Prophetic" Trap: Why Modern Prophets & Apostles Are Prioritizing Visions Over Scripture

Is your spiritual growth being stunted by "new revelations" that aren't even in the Bible? In this episode of Not in Church, we’re diving deep into the dangerous rise of modern-day "prophets" and "apostles" who prioritize their own visions over the Word of God. From "wealth transfer" promises to constant "fear-gated" warnings, we uncover how these teachings can distract you from a true relationship with Jesus Christ. In this video, we discuss: * The Foundation of Faith: Why we must start with Jesus and the Bible, not "new words" from modern figures. * Red Flags of False Teaching: How to spot "prophetic words" that always seem to lead back to your wallet. * The Unchangeability of God’s Word: Exploring Matthew 5 and Revelation 22 on the dangers of adding to or taking away from scripture. * True vs. False Prophets: Why a true prophet of God has a 10/10 record, and what it means when "prophecies" fail to come true. Stop being distracted by the "Matrix" of spiritual content. It’s time to get back to the basics and verify everything with the Word of God. Key Scriptures Mentioned: * Matthew 5:17-20: Jesus on the permanence of God's Law. * Revelation 22:17-20: The final warning against adding to or removing from the Word.

This Growing Trend Among Christians Is Troubling Me…

Have you ever felt like something is just off? Lately, I’ve been seeing a trend growing among us as Christians that has really been weighing on my heart. It’s something I’ve wrestled with personally, and I felt it was time we sat down and had a real, honest conversation about where we’re headed as a community. In this podcast, I’m sharing why this specific shift in our culture is troubling me so much. It’s not about pointing fingers; it’s about looking at our faith through a lens of truth and asking ourselves if we’re drifting away from what truly matters. I want to walk through the "why" behind this trend and, more importantly, how we can navigate it together with grace.
