Not Just Salvation - The Ridiculous Reasons Revival Culture Loves Baptism

Water baptism has taken on new meanings according to revival culture. No longer simply the first step for a Christian, now it can be used for many things - like exorcism, new levels & even healing - at least that’s what they tell us. But is this trend biblical? Or is water baptism becoming the “main event” of a revival service, a new & more exciting version of the altar call? On this episode we’ll take a closer look at this recent addition to Christian practice, measure it against scripture and talk about the confusion and danger it brings into the church.

Wolves in Charismatic Clothing: How to Spot False Teachers Before They Abuse You

How do you know if someone is a false teacher? The Bible tells us what to look for, but there are other tell-tale signs too. By looking at a few of the big name charismatic con men from history, we can see a clear pathology take shape that current day false teachers fit into perfectly. The reality is that these wolves in charismatic clothing are nearly all the same in the ways that matter - even if they specialize in different areas. Once you’ve seen the pattern, you’ll know what to look for in the future. The enemy’s schemes haven’t changed, and neither has God’s word. It’s time to stop the cycle!

The Kids Aren't Alright - Why The NAR Is Bad For Our Kids

Cult-like charismatic churches are harmful on many fronts, but an often overlooked aspect is the damage done to the children. Indoctrination of all kinds of false teachings begin at the earliest ages, and cause long term harm that parents need to be aware of. In this episode we explore the kinds of long term harm children & families face when supporting the NAR/prophetic movement, and offer a different approach for raising kids in church - a way that brings parents and children closer to God’s truth as a family. Wolves who seek out the littlest lambs are the most dangerous of all, dividing families and leading our legacy astray. The church needs to wake up to this very real threat to our shared future.

The Shocking Origins of Deliverance Ministries - Derek Prince Story

Deliverance ministry as we know it is largely built on the teachings of one man - Derek Prince. Christians being demonized regularly, works of the flesh blamed on demons, and so much more.  In this video we begin where Derek Prince began in his newfound deliverance ministry. We’ll hear him explain in his own sermons how he perfected his tactics, and how his practice of deliverance evolved over time into what we now accept as “normal” in deliverance ministry.  We’ll only scratch the surface of his influence, only touch on the beginnings of his loose interpretations of scripture & cover only a few of his influential practices - but we hope to show that deliverance ministry is not biblical. It is just one of many deviations of Christian practice that have appeared in the church far more recently than most people realize.

Why Most "Spiritual Warfare" Tactics Are Man-Made Garbage - What the Bible Actually Says

Spiritual warfare is a popular topic in the charismatic church, but not always for the right reasons. While the Bible uses warfare language when describing the battle between the kingdom of God & the kingdom of darkness, we don’t see many of the practices of the NAR in scripture - so where do they come from? The truth is that a lot of “warfare” teaching in the church today is the doctrine of demons. Fire tunnels, decree & declare, and many more may use partial verses - but are simply not found in scripture. If it isn’t in the Bible, we shouldn’t expect to be victorious using these recently invented tactics. For those who are looking to rebuild a biblical faith after leaving the NAR, it’s important to learn what to replace these false teachings with so we can go to battle with the right weapons.
