    Finding Truth - Enneagram Deception

    Thank you for joining us on Hope for the Hurting as we continue our powerful series entitled, "Finding Truth." The goal of this series is to help you gain wisdom and discernment in these dark, deceptive days. This is one of the most critical topics we have ever broadcast.

    Today, we are taking a look at the Enneagram, which has occult/New Age origins. The Enneagram has crept its deceptive way into many prominent churches, Christian counseling practices and Christian schools disguised as a personality assessment. We will unpack what the Enneagram is, its origins and history, why it is dangerous and how you can push back if it is being used where you worship.

    Finding Truth - Deception of the Anti-Christ

    Finding Truth - Deception of the Anti-Christ

    Thank you for joining us on Hope for the Hurting as we continue our powerful series entitled, "Finding Truth." The goal of this series is to help you gain wisdom and discernment in these dark, deceptive days. This is one of the most critical topics we have ever broadcast.

    Today, we will take a look at one of the key deceptive players during the end times, the Anti-Christ. Dr. Irv will discuss the difference between anti-Christ teachers and teachings and the Anti-Christ, also known as The Beast, who will be a false Messiah. This false Savior will be part of the unholy trinity along with Satan and the False Prophet, and he will deceive the masses in four main areas. We will discuss all of this and more in today's episode.

    Next week, we have decided to insert a bonus episode on the Enneagram, which has occult/New Age origins. The Enneagram has crept its deceptive way into many prominent churches, Christian counseling practices and Christian schools disguised as a personality assessment.


    Please join us for each episode in this critical series and share them with your family and friends so we can guard ourselves and stand together for truth and righteousness.

    Thank you for joining us on Hope for the Hurting as we continue our powerful series entitled, "Finding Truth." The goal of this series is to help you gain wisdom and discernment in these dark, deceptive days. This is one of the most critical topics we have ever broadcast.

    This is part eight in our 10-part series. Today, we will take a look at how deception is used within technology, and, more specifically, through the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

We will point out those dangers and share specific examples so you are better prepared to protect yourselves and those you love.

    In this series, we have been looking at how deception has infected every aspect of our lives including politics, culture, academics, technology and, especially, our churches. Please join us for each episode in this critical series and share them with your family and friends so we can guard ourselves and stand together for truth and righteousness.

    Next week, we will discuss the deception of the Anti-Christ and how AI will be one of the key tools he uses to manipulate and deceive the masses.
