    Cracking the Time Code: When Bad Greek Meets Bad Theology

    Heresy doesn't knock and announce itself. It shows up wearing just enough biblical language to sound credible. Joshua Lewis breaks down Cracking the Time Code by Candice Smithyman (Destiny Image, 2025), offering a robust scriptural critique that doubles as a lesson in how to spot the same patterns anywhere else you find them. Joshua's review traces how the book builds toward a word of faith framework, where your own faith produces blessing and protects against loss, and even extends into a claim that death itself may be optional for a sufficiently "heaven-attuned" believer. If that sounds familiar, it should. Prosperity theology, gnostic anthropology, and low Christology have circled through church history since the first century, just with new packaging each time. Watch this episode to better understand why this book is promoting false teaching and heresy, not Christianity. Additionally, use Josh's teaching as a case study for recognizing the false. The goal is for all of us to get sharper at telling the difference between genuine insight and repackaged error. 0:00 – Introduction 2:16 – Cracking the Time Code 2:32 – Greek and Hebrew Foundations 4:22 – Invented Word Meanings 10:18 – Correct Words, Wrong Theology 15:01 – Word of Faith Imports 21:53 – Gnosticism in the Book 28:01 – Most Dangerous Claims 34:53 – Closing Thoughts Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

    Is Bethel Church Past the Point of No Return?

    There are still God-fearing, God-loving people attending Bethel Church. That's exactly what makes this episode hard to make. But in light of recent events, we have to ask: Have we reached the point of mark and avoid? This is a one-stop, 30-minute review of concerns with Bethel to see the patterns. ABOUT THIS EPISODE: Remnant Radio has kept an eye on Bethel for years - through the grave soaking scandal, through Bill Johnson's daughter-in-law describing the Holy Spirit as a "genie," through the New Age framework quietly baked into Physics of Heaven, through Culture of Honor, through Bob Jones and Kenneth Copeland getting platformed anyway, and now through Shawn Bolz. We have reviewed many of these practices and situations over the years, and our comments have grown firmer and sterner toward Bethel leadership. Now there's a new development, and it's not about doctrine. According to Mike Winger's sources, the people currently being let go at Bethel are the ones who kept asking the questions about transformation and change. If that's accurate, it isn't a staffing decision, but a pattern about the thinking and decision making of Bethel leadership. So Josh asks the question a lot of Bethel's own alumni have been asking quietly for months, and finally says out loud what he's suspected for a while: is this still a church working through its mistakes, or has leadership moved somewhere it can't recover from? Are we at mark and avoid? This isn't a pile-on. It's for the people who've genuinely loved this church and are trying to figure out what faithfulness looks like now that the pattern is this clear. 0:00 – Introduction 0:22 – Bethel Controversy Background 3:55 – Grave Soaking & Genie Scandal 5:34 – Michael Brown Interviews Bill Johnson 6:20 – Winger's First Bethel Review 7:21 – Physics Of Heaven Exposed 8:32 – Kenneth Copeland Endorsement 8:58 – Shawn Bolz Scandal Breaks 10:03 – Winger Exposes Shawn Bolz 13:56 – Bethel's Public Apology 16:47 – Passion Translation Plagiarism 17:23 – Layoffs And NDAs 20:01 – NDA Rights And Scripture 27:01 – PR Versus Real Repentance 29:54 – Examine Your Own Church PLAYLIST ON POLICING THE CHARISMATIC MOVEMENT: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMsjeViSScFHSZqA1Q85VKxRrkvEYXBec PREVIOUS RR EPISODES OF BETHEL CHURCH: 2020 - https://youtu.be/sOTdC5LnrVA 2020 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soFFhiYZY-E 2020 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMkKILXkKWs 2020 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRvpVqmk5RU 2020 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6k91pFZWVc 2022 - https://youtu.be/w8b7y7mWIvg 2022 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XlUPjWRqpc 2022 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hseSRlFKzSM 2022 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTcgjtvc91E 2022 - https://youtu.be/9Bys8_ylGUk 2026 - https://youtu.be/TN6UbN0Vq6E 2026 - https://youtu.be/NSWzRCDTPNU 2026 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7U1-rugrYZM 2026 - https://youtu.be/PEKIozi7Cjc 2026 - https://youtu.be/z0PTDwlpQPo 2026 - https://youtu.be/AcXNqe4vg6E Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

    The Hidden Structure That Explains All of Daniel | Dr. Jim Hamilton

    You were probably taught to read Daniel like a codebook with beasts to identify, timelines to chart, and an Antichrist to spot. Dr. Jim Hamilton thinks the church has been missing the point, and he makes a compelling case that the key to Daniel's strangest visions is hiding in the stories of chapters 1–6. ABOUT THE EPISODE: Dr. Jim Hamilton, professor of biblical theology at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and senior pastor of Kenwood Baptist Church, joins Joshua Lewis to walk through his book With the Clouds of Heaven: The Book of Daniel in Biblical Theology. His central claim: Daniel wrote real history and real prophecy, and the apocalyptic visions of chapters 7–12 aren't a departure from the narratives of chapters 1–6, but rather a projection of them.  Look to the patterns: Nebuchadnezzar attacks God's people, plunders the temple, and tries to indoctrinate the faithful in Daniel 1, and that same pattern gets pressed onto the end times, again and again, until it culminates in resurrection of the dead (Daniel 12:2). Dr. Hamilton makes the case that Daniel interpreted his own God-given visions through a mind saturated with earlier Scripture, describing Nebuchadnezzar's shattered statue in the language of Psalm 1 and Psalm 2.  However, the sparks fly on the fourth man in the fiery furnace. Dr. Hamilton argues it was an angel, not the pre-incarnate Christ, and Joshua isn't ready to concede. You'll also get his take on the 70th week of Daniel, resurrection hope in the Old Testament, and why Daniel parallels the book of Revelation.

    Fivefold Injustice: Debunking Emma Stark's New Doctrine

    Is it wrong to publicly name a false teacher, or is staying quiet the real problem? Emma Stark of the Global Prophetic Alliance recently released a video arguing that exposure ministries are "measuring fruit in hopelessness," and that real biblical justice can only be administered through a five-fold ministry structure where prophets alone have the authority to remove someone's spiritual credibility. Joshua Lewis and Michael Miller go clip by clip through her argument. ABOUT THE EPISODE: When leaders in charismatic and continuationist spaces are credibly accused of abuse, plagiarism, or false prophecy, who actually has the standing to say so, and does saying so publicly make you the villain? Josh and Michael walk through Emma Stark's claims of relationship with Ron Cantor, Mike Winger, JonMark Baker, and Remnant Radio, and then test her "five-fold justice" model against Proverbs 29:18, Ecclesiastes 9:18, Titus 3:10-11, 1 Corinthians 5, Ephesians 5:11, and 1 Timothy 5:20. The core problem: scripture never assigns justice to a single office. It's given to the whole body of Christ. When that responsibility gets narrowed down to "only prophets can call this out," the practical result isn't more accountability, but less.  This is a Word & Spirit conversation from a charismatic theology perspective. We're not cessationists, and we're not interested in throwing out the gifts of the Spirit. But when a new doctrine gets invented and taught as biblical without a single verse that actually supports it, biblical accountability requires we say so.  RESOURCES MENTIONED: Full Emma Stark Episode - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dY9mfDoZ35I  Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

    Did the Inquisition Murder All the Psychics?

    Joe Rogan's latest viral guest claims the Catholic Church genetically eliminated psychic ability from humanity through the Inquisitions. But is that true? ABOUT THIS EPISODE: Joe Rogan recently hosted Dr. Dean Radin, chief scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, to discuss his "psi gene" theory. During the interview, Radin claimed that the Catholic Inquisitions systematically targeted and killed people with a genetic predisposition for psychic ability, effectively removing that trait from Christianized populations over centuries. It's the kind of theory that sounds compelling on first listen. Joshua Lewis did the historical review to test it. Is this true? Josh also explores the theological question underneath all of this. Why did the early church oppose occult practice in the first place? Was it a power grab as Dr. Radin suggests? Join us to better understand the full discussion. Don't get caught flat-footed when secular podcasts make "confident historical claims" about Christianity. 0:00 – Introduction 0:14 – Dean Radin's Psychic Research 1:28 – The Psi Genetic Project 5:50 – Joshua's Historical Analysis 7:20 – The Four Inquisitions 9:57 – Spanish Inquisition & Witchcraft 13:03 – Scientific Problems Examined 14:12 – Church, Magic, & Scripture 17:02 – Closing Thoughts Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

    Simony, Money, and Ministry: Where Scripture Draws the Line

    What is simony? And where do you draw the line? Here at Remnant Radio, we do sell courses and conferences teaching people about the gifts of the spirit. We want to be honest and upfront about that, and it's exactly why we're discussing simony in this episode. We want to examine whether what we do holds up under Scripture.  ABOUT THIS EPISODE: The word "simony" comes from Acts 8, when Simon Magus tried to purchase the power of the Holy Spirit and Peter answered him: "May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money" (Acts 8:20, ESV). That confrontation gave the body of Christ an important category for thinking about money and ministry that we're going to explore. What did Peter actually condemn, and what didn't he condemn? Scripture is more specific than most people realize, and the early church, as documented in the Didache, wrestled openly with where the line sits between legitimate support for ministry and exploiting the gifts of God for personal gain. This episode takes a hard look at that line. There are things that should never carry a price tag. Prayer ministry and deliverance ministry are on that list, and we'll walk through why Scripture draws that boundary so clearly. But the conversation doesn't stop there. What about seminary or Bible college? Christian books and music? The Bible itself?  Join us for a biblical exploration of simony and where Scripture draws the line. 0:00 – Introduction 0:21 – Ethics of Charging for Ministry 8:53 – Scripture on Giving Freely 12:20 – Isaiah 55 and Matthew 10:8 17:47 – Payment for Healing Prayers? 18:55 – Compensation for Itinerant Ministers 23:12 – Honorariums and Speaking Fees 27:18 – Bibles, Seminaries, and Simony 32:03 – Simon the Sorcerer in Acts 8 37:37 – Suggested Donations for Deliverance? 51:38 – Didache on Itinerant Prophets 56:02 – Dangers of Full-Time Itinerancy Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

    Was America Founded on Faith? Dr. Ben Carson

    Was America's founding a genuinely Christian project, or has that idea been read backward into history by people who want it to be true? Dr. Ben Carson, famed neurosurgeon, former U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and founder of the American Cornerstone Institute, joins Joshua Lewis to make the case that the founders' faith wasn't incidental to the American project, but was foundational to it. ABOUT THE EPISODE: Carson walks through the well-known stories: George Washington's providential survival during the French and Indian War, Benjamin Franklin's call to prayer at the Constitutional Convention, John Adams' conviction that the Constitution was built for "a moral and religious people." Carson recounts these as evidence that the founders understood their rights as God-given rather than state-granted and argues this conviction is what allowed the young nation to move as fast as it did. But this episode tackles some of the harder questions about America's Christian roots. In fact, many Christians today are wrestling with where the line falls between honoring faith's role in government and slipping into theonomy or Christian nationalism (using the Bible not just to inform conviction, but to enforce practice). Josh and Dr. Carson walk through the difficult cases, including Thomas Jefferson's private letters calling Paul "the first corruptor" of Christ's doctrine, the Treaty of Tripoli's explicit statement that the U.S. government is "not in any sense founded on the Christian religion," and the uncomfortable reality that some founders held views far messier than the Sunday-school version of American history. What emerges is a conversation about the difference between a Christian moral framework shaping a leader's conscience and a Christian theocracy shaping a nation's laws and why the founders, having fled state-enforced religion in Europe, were careful to avoid recreating it here. Dr. Carson also addresses the founders' inconsistencies head-on, including slavery, and how a constitution "inspired" by Christian conviction could coexist with such a profound moral failure. If you've ever felt caught between two unsatisfying camps with "America was a secular Enlightenment experiment" on one side, and "America should be governed by biblical law" on the other, this conversation gives you a third way to think about it: historically honest, theologically grounded, and avoidant to both extremes. 0:00 – Introduction 0:51 – Built on Faith Children's Book 1:00 – Washington's Providence Stories 4:34 – Christianity Twisted by Marxism 6:09 – Founders and Deism Debate 8:00 – Declaration vs Constitution 11:06 – Theonomy and Theocracy 12:47 – Christian Ethics and Lawmaking 19:12 – Washington's Christian Faith 20:50 – Jefferson's Mixed Beliefs 26:49 – Benjamin Franklin's Faith 33:39 – Treaty of Tripoli Question 35:32 – James Madison and Constitution 38:05 – Christian Political Involvement   RESOURCES MENTIONED: - Dr. Ben Carson's children's book, Built on Faith (co-authored with Kirk Parrish): https://www.amazon.com/Built-Faith-Ben-Carson/dp/1967002711 - American Cornerstone Institute: https://americancornerstone.org - Andrew Wilson, Remaking the World: How 1776 Created the Post-Christian West: https://www.crossway.org/books/remaking-the-world-hcj/ - Carl Trueman, The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self: https://www.crossway.org/books/rise-triumph-modern-self-hcj/ - Treaty of Tripoli (1797), Article 11 (full text): https://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/bar1796t.asp Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

    Prophecy, Words of Knowledge & Evangelism with JonMark Baker | Minor Prophets Podcast

    Can a prophetic word reach someone an argument never could? What if the most effective evangelism tool in Scripture is a detail about someone that only God could have known? JonMark Baker of the Minor Prophets Podcast joins Remnant Radio to talk about the gift of prophecy and words of knowledge as on-mission tools for evangelism. ABOUT THIS EPISODE: We live in a culture that's heard plenty of arguments for God and built a callus against most of them. Apologetics still matters. But what do you do with someone whose heart hardened against Jesus before you ever opened your mouth? That's where a word of knowledge does something logic can't. A divinely-given word proves to a stranger that God sees them, knows them, and has His eye on the actual details of their life. Paul described exactly this in 1 Corinthians 14:24-25: an outsider walks in, the secrets of his heart are laid bare through prophecy, and he falls on his face declaring that God is really among you. It's the New Testament's own case study for prophecy as evangelism. This is a conversation about giftings doing what they were always meant to do: building up the body of Christ, and pushing back the darkness in a culture that needs reminding God is real, and still speaks. 0:00 – Introduction 2:27 – JonMark Baker 4:36 – Prophesying & Availability 9:54 – God Speaks Subtly 20:49 – Spirit, Mind, Thought 25:33 – Prophetic Evangelism Steps 36:38 – Parable of the Soils 44:36 – Power & Evangelism 49:30 – Closing Thoughts Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.
