074: Fighting a Demon on Mount Everest with Dr. Matthew Taylor Veterans of Culture Wars

Dr. Matthew Taylor joins us to discuss his recent podcast series Charismatic Revival Fury, released through the Straight White American Jesus podcast.  We talk about central figures of the New Apostolic Reformation like C Peter Wagner and Che Ahn, the connection to the "signs and wonders" charismatic movement led by John Wimber, Matthew's concept of "prophetic memes", January 6th as a religious event, the increasingly intense and violent rhetoric of the spiritual warfare movement, and that time charismatics climbed Mount Everest to battle a powerful demon called The Queen of Heaven, and how that connects to January 6th.
