    Did Patriarchal Blessings Shape History?

    Isaac trembled violently after realizing he blessed the wrong son. He didn't reverse the blessing. He couldn't . . . That moment, super easy to read past, is actually one of the most theologically loaded scenes in the entire book of Genesis. Most of us read past the patriarchal blessings in Genesis the same way. The text doesn't slow down to explain them. Lamech names his son Noah, announces he'll bring relief from the curse on the ground, and the narrative moves on. Jacob gathers all twelve sons and speaks over each one (tribal territories, political trajectories, a coming ruler) and the story continues. We absorb it as family drama or ancient religious custom. We rarely stop to ask: How do these words actually work? That question opens up an under-examined corner of Genesis, and the answer has real implications for how we understand prophecy, the gifts of the Spirit, and the character of a God who never stopped speaking.  In this episode, we'll discuss: - Why the patriarchal blessings in Genesis can't be explained as lucky guesses or shrewd fatherly observation - Why the "covenant authority" interpretation, that the patriarchs could speak things into existence by virtue of their office, is theologically dangerous - Why the most defensible interpretation is that the patriarchs were prophesying: instruments of divine revelation, voicing what God had already shown them - How Lamech's blessing (Genesis 5:28-29) functions as the hermeneutical template for every patriarchal blessing that follows - What the patriarchal period reveals about the cluster argument,  and why a steady, continuous stream of prophetic activity through ordinary domestic moments challenges cessationist assumptions The God of Genesis isn't a God who shows up in dramatic bursts. He's a God who never stopped speaking, threading his voice from generation to generation long before anyone had a formal theology of what a prophet even was.

    Kansas City Prophets Q&A: False Prophecy, Mike Bickle, and Discernment

    Joshua Lewis and Michael Miller answer your questions from their recent livestream on the rise and fall of the Kansas City Prophets. They tackle some of the toughest questions surrounding false prophecy, discernment, and the legacy of Mike Bickle and IHOP.   Topics covered include: -How many false prophecies does it take to be considered a false prophet? -Did God really speak to Mike Bickle in Egypt while he was actively sinning? -Can movements rooted in Branhamism or the Latter Rain be redeemed? -What is the value of prophecy if words can't be taken at face value? -Was Jonah's prophecy over Nineveh a false prophecy? -Which charismatics have actually stood up and called out bad leaders? -Why didn't Rick Joyner publicly expose Paul Cain? Plus, Josh and Michael reflect on Remnant Radio's own history of prophetic reviews and why they believe charismatics need to be the ones holding other charismatics accountable.

    The Doctrine That Tried to Fix Feminism — And Got the Trinity Wrong: EFS with Dr. Malcolm Yarnell

    There's a version of complementarian theology that quietly reshapes the Trinity to make its argument. Most people who hold it don't realize that's what they're doing. Dr. Malcolm Yarnell does — and he wrote the book on why it matters. Dr. Malcolm Yarnell, professor of Theology at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and author of the Theology for Every Person series, joins Joshua Lewis to work through some of the most contested terrain in Christian doctrine: the person of Christ, the unity of the Trinity, and the debate over eternal functional subordination (EFS). What We Cover: - Why the Trinity and Christology are the two doctrines that everything else in systematic theology depends on - The three senses of "Word of God" in scripture: the personal Word (Jesus), the written Word (scripture), and the proclaimed Word - What eternal functional subordination is, where it came from, and why Dr. Yarnell considers it a grave theological error - How EFS was crafted primarily to answer feminism — not to answer a theological question — and why that origin matters - The unified will of the Trinity, and why the garden of Gethsemane is about the submission of Christ's human will, not an eternal subordination within the Godhead - A close reading of 1 Corinthians 15:28: what is actually being subjected — humanity, not deity - The Athanasian scope of scripture: limitations in the text refer to Christ's humanity; perfections refer to his deity - Why you don't need to reconfigure the Trinity to be a complementarian 0:00 – Introduction 2:08 – Theology for Every Person 5:38 – Christ's Deity and Humanity 10:42 – Word: Person vs. Scripture 15:23 – Eternal Functional Subordination 26:32 – Doctrine and Cultural Moments 33:43 – The Divine Will 54:46 – 1 Corinthians 15:28 1:00:46 – Closing Thoughts INTRO TO CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY: https://www.theremnantradio.com/intro-to-christian-theology-course ABOUT THE GUEST: 📖Word (Theology for Every Person, Vol. 2) https://a.co/d/0ddyCS4F 📖God (Theology for Every Person, Vol. 1) https://a.co/d/0ibY6QQ1 📖God the Trinity https://a.co/d/05bCwH0d 📖The Formation of Christian Doctrine https://a.co/d/0dwRSFQH Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

    The Rise & Fall of the Kansas City Prophets | Reviewing Dr. Sam Storms

    Dr. Sam Storms has been one of our own. He's served at our conferences, he's connected to us through the Convergence Church Network, and he's been one of the clearest continuationist voices in evangelical Christianity for decades. His new book, The Rise and Fall of the Kansas City Prophets, is the most detailed insider account of the Kansas City prophetic movement ever written — 310 pages covering 1982 to 2000, the era of Bob Jones, Paul Cain, and Mike Bickle's rise to prominence. And people are asking some tough questions about it. This episode is not a hit piece on Sam Storms. He was lied to like the rest of us. He has acknowledged that his discernment failed him. That kind of accountability takes humility and bravery. As we review his book, we're going to do our best to call balls and strikes. What does Sam get right? Where does he miss? What this episode is ultimately about is discernment — not just the discernment of individual prophetic words, but the communal discernment of a movement. How does proximity to leadership shape what we're able to see? And after everything that has happened, what does it look like to hold continuationist convictions with both faithfulness and sobriety? There is grief in this conversation, but there is also hope. We're not abandoning the prophetic because Mike Bickle and others abused it. We're asking hard questions — with honesty, with care for Dr. Storms, and with deep love for every person still healing from the IHOPKC collapse.

    Inside a Therapist's Office: Mental Health, Demons & Deliverance

    What if your mental health struggles were something more than what the DSM identifies? What if there was a spiritual aspect keeping you from walking in freedom? Dr. Natalie Atwell has spent over 20 years as a licensed therapist, and she'll be the first to tell you she ignored that question for most of her career. Then the cases got darker, standard treatments stopped working, and a deep dive into Dr. Michael Heiser's divine council worldview changed how she reads both her Bible and her intake forms. There's a quiet crisis happening inside Christian counseling offices. Clients are arriving with presentations - dissociation, compulsive sexual behavior, debilitating anxiety, sleep paralysis - that don't resolve the way they should. The DSM has no category for what some of these people are experiencing. And the therapists treating them are quietly asking a question they're not sure they're allowed to ask: Is something spiritual going on here? Dr. Atwell says yes, and she's built a clinical framework to navigate it. Drawing on the Deuteronomy 32 worldview and Dr. Michael Heiser's understanding of the three rebellions of Genesis 3, 6, and 11, she maps categories of mental health suffering back to specific entry points of spiritual darkness. It's a careful, clinically-informed attempt to take Ephesians 6:12 seriously in a treatment room. The demand in the broader body of Christ is real. Pastors are referring people to therapists because they don't have a framework. Therapists are getting stuck because they don't have the theology. Dr. Atwell's work, including her assessment tool that asks about Ouija boards, occult involvement, and even alien abduction experiences, is an attempt to build a bridge between those two worlds. Not to replace either one, but to help clinicians ask better questions. 0:00 – Introduction 1:25 – Dr. Natalie Atwell 3:58 – Satanic Ritual Abuse 7:01 – Counselor's Awakening 9:35 – Darkness Uptick Explained 17:01 – Divine Council Worldview 25:21 – Oppression vs. Possession 29:07 – Three Categories Framework 37:31 – Deliverance Treatment Model 40:06 – Other Influences Assessment 47:58 – Client Case Study 54:36 – Mental Warrior Consulting ABOUT THE GUEST: 📖 Dr. Natalie Atwell's book is coming soon!

    Can One Demon Possess Thousands at Once? The Truth about Jezebel, Azazel & Named Spirits

    Is there one giant spirit of Leviathan demonizing thousands of people simultaneously or is something else going on? The answer cuts deeper than spiritual warfare. It goes straight to the nature of God. The body of Christ has a problem with demon taxonomy. On one end, cessationists deny the category entirely. On the other, some corners of charismatic practice have quietly handed evil spirits divine attributes they were never meant to have, treating Leviathan or Jezebel as omnipresent cosmic forces saturating the earth. Neither position is biblical. And the confusion isn't just theoretical. It shapes how people pray, how pastors minister, and how the church understands the very nature of God. Join Joshua Lewis, Michael Rowntree, and Michael Miller as they work through the biblical catalog of evil spirits and make the case that demons are kinds, not singular entities. They also tackle the deliverance question head-on: is naming demons in ministry Gnostic secret knowledge, or is it something more like Adam naming the animals, an exercise of discernment and authority? If you're looking for a biblically-serious review on demon taxonomy, this episode is for you. 0:00 – Introduction 7:09 – Demon Taxonomy Overview 15:18 – Effects Match Names 19:50 – Jezebel Spirit Defined 27:06 – Naming Demons, Authority 39:28 – One Spirit or Many? 43:54 – God's Omnipresence Only 46:43 – Speculative: Demonic Breath INTRO TO DELIVERANCE MINISTRY: https://www.theremnantradio.com/intro-to-deliverance-ministry Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

    Who Is Lilith? What Isaiah 34, the Dead Sea Scrolls & 3,000 Years of History Actually Reveals

    Lilith keeps showing up: in video games, TV shows, ancient mythology, and feminist websites. But she also shows up in the Bible. And most Christians have no idea. Michael Miller sits down with Nelly Van Sickle, pastor of Evergreen Calvary Chapel and host of The Dancing Toaster podcast, to trace the biblical and historical case for Lilith as a genuine supernatural entity. Starting with Isaiah 34:14 and working outward through the Septuagint, the Vulgate, and the Dead Sea Scrolls, this isn't mythology dressed up as scripture. It's scripture first, history second. Nelly also shares what happened when he started researching her. The demonic oppression that began almost immediately. And what finally made it stop. Along the way they cover the "Adam's first wife" theory and why Genesis 2 shuts it down, the connection between Psalm 91:5-6 and "the terror of the night," a Dead Sea Scroll exorcism hymn that names a lilit-type entity by class, and the question of what happened to the women who cohabitated with the sons of God in Genesis 6. If you've been curious about Lilith and wanted an answer that actually starts with the biblical text, this episode is for you.

    What Is the Gift of Discernment of Spirits? (It's Not What You Think)

    Most teaching on this gift goes one direction: detect the demon, cast it out, move on. But what if that's only a fraction of what Paul actually meant? In 1 Corinthians 12:10, Paul lists the gift of discernment of spirits and says nothing else. The silence has fueled real debate, and in this episode Michael Rowntree walks through the three most serious scholarly positions and tells you where he lands.  Michael examines the Source Testing View (held by Wayne Grudem and D.A. Carson), the Prophecy Weighing View (from Gordon Fee's commentary on 1 Corinthians), and the Prophecy Interpreting View (from scholar Doenberg). Each view has real exegetical arguments behind it. None of them are dismissed lightly. But they're not all equally convincing. But stay for the story at the end. It happened at a Remnant Conference. A quiet prayer room. Three words that showed up and shouldn't have made sense until they made all the sense in the world. That story is why this gift matters. 0:00 – Introduction 1:36 – Source Testing (Grudem & Carson) 7:31 – Prophecy Weighing (Fee) 10:57 – Prophecy Interpreting (Doenberg) 13:31 – Where Michael Lands 14:50 – Discernment in Practice 18:17 – Conclusion INTRODUCTION TO DELIVERANCE MINISTRY: https://www.theremnantradio.com/intro-to-deliverance-ministry Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.
