    The scandals in the charismatic movement have us examining: what is the difference between cover up culture and exposure culture? What is the biblical response?

    The Charismatic Movement: Is Any of It Real?

    When the dust settles after spiritual abuse and public scandal, is any of this charismatic stuff actually real—or should you walk away from it all for good? Many believers are asking hard questions: “If so much has been falsified, are all prophecies fake? Are healings just wishful thinking? How do I trust again?” In this episode of Remnant Radio, Joshua Lewis, Michael Rowntree and Michael Miller open up as pastors and fellow survivors of charismatic fallout to help you process the pain without abandoning the work of the Spirit.​ The hosts will examine: -Can a “cheater” still give an accurate prophetic word? -How do we discern between genuine Christian prophecy, demonic counterfeits, and pure manipulation? -What do we do with verified healings or real words of knowledge that came through morally compromised ministries? -How do we honor spiritual gifts without platforming abusive leaders or building new celebrity cultures? This episode is deeply pastoral and aimed at those who feel spiritually disoriented, retraumatized, or jaded after charismatic abuse. If you’re struggling with charismatic ministry gone wrong, this is a safe space to process without being shamed for your doubts. You’ll hear how to move from gullibility, through cynicism, into true discernment—learning to separate God’s voice from human abuse, and the gifts of the Spirit from the sins of leaders. 0:00 – Introduction 1:53 – Pastoral scandal response 3:05 – Miller’s abuse testimony 4:00 – Josh’s prophetic trauma 7:18 – Gifts still real biblically 12:00 – Abuse across church offices 17:19 – Cheaters getting it right 19:48 – Four power sources 23:04 – Don’t trust exposed prophets 28:16 – Ordinary means of grace 30:56 – Healing and discernment process 36:01 – Submit gifts to God 39:18 – Final pastoral encouragement Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

    The Lord's Prayer: A Blueprint for Kingdom Living & Spiritual Warfare

    Have you been praying the Lord's Prayer all wrong? We sit down with Brad Gray and Brad Nelson from Walking The Text to discuss their book Bringing Heaven Here and their cinematic feature film on the Lord's Prayer. And trust us, this isn't your Sunday school recap. Our conversation explores the historical, geographical, and biblical context of the most familiar prayer in Christian theology, revealing layers you've probably never noticed: Exodus connections, first-century Jewish cosmology, the kingdom of God as spiritual warfare, and why Jesus structured this prayer as the blueprint for kingdom living. Turns out, the Lord's Prayer isn't just something to recite—it's a declaration of war against the forces of darkness and a daily roadmap for partnering with God's mission on earth. We explore how "Our Father in the heavens" (yes, that's plural!) connects to ancient Israelite cosmology, why the kingdom of God is the heartbeat of Jesus's ministry, and how every line of this prayer maps onto Christ's life and mission. We'll also tackle spiritual warfare from a biblical perspective, challenging both hyper-charismatic extremes and the dangerous denial that evil is real. If you've ever felt stuck between "there's a demon behind every bush" and "spiritual warfare isn't really a thing," this episode will recalibrate your understanding. Plus, we get into the nerdy stuff: the Didache's instruction to pray this three times a day, the connection between the Shema and daily prayer rhythms, how liturgy functions as operating software for the soul, and why the Sermon on the Mount is structured with the Lord's Prayer at its center.  If you've been treating the Lord's Prayer like a religious formality, prepare to have your mind blown. This is about joining Jesus in the mission of bringing heaven to earth—pushing out chaos, advancing God's rule and reign, and living with eyes wide open to the war unfolding around us. 0:00 – Introduction 5:35 – Why create a book on the Lord's Prayer 8:34 – The Lord's Prayer as blueprint for life 14:24 – How the prayer condenses Jesus's ministry 23:16 – "Our Father" and the Exodus 4 connection 31:38 – "In the Heavens": Ancient Jewish cosmology 44:54 – Spiritual warfare and advancing God's kingdom 55:46 – Resources and closing ABOUT THE GUESTS: 🎬 FILM: https://www.angel.com/movies/lords-prayer 📖 BOOK: https://a.co/d/fBY6i8a 📺 TV SERIES: https://thesacredthread.com/ 🌐 WEBSITE: TheLordsPrayer.com Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

    The Fall of the Charismatic Movement

    What does the charismatic movement look like after the fallout from Bethel, IHOP, and Hillsong and prominent figures like Shawn Bolz, Todd White, Todd Bentley and Dr. Michael Brown? What comes next for those who still believe the Spirit moves today? Join us as we address the collapse of major charismatic institutions and leaders, and the pathway to rebuilding something better. As continuationists who believe in the biblical continued use of spiritual gifts, we're asking the hard questions from inside the house: What went wrong? How did movements that claimed to champion the Holy Spirit end up producing so much spiritual abuse, financial scandal, and theological compromise? We'll explore the theological foundations that cracked under pressure, the celebrity culture that replaced accountability, and the prophetic voices that missed the mark.  But this isn't just an autopsy, rather it's a blueprint for renewal. We're laying out what a reformed charismatic movement could look like: one anchored in biblical theology, marked by genuine accountability, and free from the hype-driven circus that's dominated the landscape. How do we reclaim the authentic work of the Holy Spirit while rejecting the excesses? What safeguards need to be in place to prevent future scandals? And how can local churches cultivate Spirit-filled ministry without falling into the same traps? We'll discuss practical steps forward—from restoring biblical eldership and testing prophetic words against Scripture, to dismantling the celebrity pastor industrial complex and prioritizing character over charisma. This is about building a culture that's sustainable, scriptural, and spiritually healthy for the next generation.

    Who is the Angel of the LORD? Hidden Appearances of Jesus in the Old Testament

    Who is the mysterious “Angel of the LORD” who keeps showing up all over the Old Testament—and why does he talk, act, and receive worship as if he is God Himself? In this episode, Joshua Lewis walks through key Old Testament passages to argue that the Angel of the LORD is not a created angel at all, but the pre-incarnate Son of God, Jesus Christ, appearing long before Bethlehem. From Hagar in the wilderness, to Abraham on Mount Moriah, to Moses at the burning bush, to Gideon in the wine press, these Old Testament stories form a consistent pattern: this Angel carries the divine name, makes covenant promises, swears by Himself, declares “I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,” accepts worship and sacrifice, and is recognized as Yahweh—with no correction from Scripture. Josh carefully exegetes key passages like Genesis 16, Genesis 22, Exodus 3, and Judges 6, showing how the biblical authors themselves move seamlessly between “the Angel of the LORD” and “Yahweh,” presenting one divine being in more than one person. Along the way, we explore how this fits within Christian theology, biblical prophecy, and the developing revelation of the Trinity. How can God the Father be “invisible” and yet God is repeatedly seen in the Old Testament? How does the New Testament’s teaching that the Son is “the image of the invisible God” resolve this tension? And what does it mean for spiritual warfare, for covenant, and for our reading of the entire Bible if Jesus has been present and active in redemptive history from the very beginning? If you’re hungry for a deeper dive into Christian theology, Old Testament theophanies, and the identity of the Angel of the LORD as the pre-incarnate Christ, this episode will help you see Jesus woven all through the story of Israel - speaking, saving, commissioning, judging, forgiving, and revealing the Father long before the incarnation. 00:00 – The Mystery of the Angel of the LORD Introduced 01:55 – The Angel of the LORD as the Pre-Incarnate Son of God (Thesis) 02:14 – Genesis 16: The Angel of the LORD Appears to Hagar 06:13 – Genesis 22: The Angel swears by Himself to Abraham 09:08 – Exodus 3: The Angel in the Burning Bush 12:11 – Judges 6: The Angel Commissions Gideon 17:56 – Summary: What the Angel Does Only God Can Do 18:47 – The Son as the Image of the Invisible God 20:06 – Jesus Has Always Been Present in God’s Story Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

    Did Bethel Actually Repent Over Shawn Bolz?

    Did Bethel Church actually repent over the Shawn Bolz scandal? In this episode of The Remnant Radio, we carefully examine the public statements and actions of Bethel Church leadership—including Bill Johnson, Kris Vallotton, and Danny Silk—to determine whether their response represents genuine biblical repentance or merely institutional damage control. From questions of prophetic accountability and false prophecy to the broader credibility of charismatic theology, this conversation aims to help believers think clearly, biblically, and sober-mindedly about what true repentance looks like in church leadership. We walk step-by-step through what Bethel leaders said, what they admitted, what they failed to address, and how their response compares to the biblical standard for repentance, confession, and restoration. We also interact with the wider conversation sparked by Mike Winger and others, exploring how prophecy abuse and leadership silence can damage trust in the church and distort the witness of the gospel. As continuationists who affirm the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit, we believe accountability is not an attack on the charismatic movement—it is essential to its integrity. Critical Questions Discussed: -Is Bethel's apology genuine or just PR spin?​ -What does biblical restoration require beyond saying "I'm sorry"?​ -Why did it take Mike Winger's exposé for leadership to act?​ -What about Kenneth Copeland, The Passion Translation, and other concerning endorsements?​ -How can churches protect victims while reconciling fallen leaders to the body of Christ? Our goal is not to tear down, but to tell the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15), to test everything and hold fast to what is good (1 Thessalonians 5:21), and to call the Church to holiness, transparency, and faithfulness to Christ. If you care about sound theology, responsible use of spiritual gifts, and protecting God’s people from spiritual harm, this conversation is for you. Special thanks to the Bethel alumni who held their leaders accountable—your faithfulness in speaking truth in love catalyzed this moment of repentance. This could be a watershed moment for the charismatic movement if genuine fruit follows these words. 0:00 – Introduction 2:04 – Context and Prior Bethel Concerns 13:23 – Bethel's Response  23:23 – Kris Vallotton's Personal Disclosure 30:28 – The Jezebel Passage Misinterpretation 33:34 – Bethel's New Core Values  38:10 – Bethel Issues That Remain Unaddressed 49:03 – Bill Johnson's Repentance Message 1:00:40 – Bill Johnson's TBN Interview Mistake 1:17:43 – Danny Silk's Email  1:34:05 – Final Thoughts Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.
