    Signs of a False Prophet (With Special Guest: Josh Lewis)

    What exactly is a “false prophet,” and how can you tell if you’re following one? In this episode of the Why Do Christians podcast, Mark and Pastor Burt sit down again with Josh Lewis from Remnant Radio for Part 2 of their conversation on spiritual discernment. They dig into practical red flags: leaders who play the “Thus sayeth the Lord” trump card to shut down questions, pyramid-style authority structures where the “man of God” can’t be challenged, and Bible teaching built on wild, over‑spiritualized interpretations no one in church history has ever held. Josh also unpacks why character and the fruit of the Spirit matter more than charisma, and Pastor Burt shares a personal story of getting pulled into a cult‑like ministry. Finally, they offer pastoral guidance on what to do if you realize you may be in an unhealthy church—when to confront, when to leave, and how to guard your heart going forward.

    Am I Following A False Prophet? (With Special Guest: Josh Lewis)

    In this episode of the Why Do Christians? podcast, Mark and Pastor Burt sit down with Josh Lewis from Remnant Radio and King’s Fellowship Church in Ada, Oklahoma to tackle a big question: Am I following a false prophet? Josh walks through what the Bible actually says about prophets and false prophets, starting in the Old Testament with Exodus and Deuteronomy, then into the New Testament’s call to “test the spirits.” Together they unpack the difference between a false prophet who leads people away from God, and a flawed or disqualified leader who might still teach orthodox doctrine but lacks godly character. They also discuss situations like when people say, “God told me…” and then get it wrong. How should churches handle prophetic words in a healthy, accountable way? The conversation even brushes up against prosperity-style televangelists and what makes some of that teaching a false gospel. Stay tuned—next week they’ll dig into specific warning signs to watch for in pastors and prophets.

    Is Faith Against Science?

    Ever felt like the more you learn about science, the harder it is to believe in God? In this episode of the Why Do Christians podcast, Mark, Pastor Burt, and Pastor Josh dive into the tension many of us feel between what we read in the Bible and what we hear in the classroom. They unpack big topics like evolution, the Big Bang, miracles, and morality. Does following the evidence really mean walking away from faith, or could it actually point us toward God? The guys talk about the difference between the “what” that science explains, and the “why” that Scripture reveals. Why leaving Christianity isn’t a move to “no belief,” but to a different belief system. If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I too educated to be a Christian?” This conversation is for you.

    Top 5 Misused Bible Verses

    Ever slapped Jeremiah 29:11 on a yearbook? Same. In this episode of the Why Do Christians podcast, Mark Dickey, Pastor Burt, and Pastor Josh take a walk through five of the most commonly misused Bible verses. What did Jesus really mean by “Judge not?” (Matthew 7:1). What does “Where two or three are gathered” (Matthew 18:20) actually mean? Is “I can do all things” (Philippians 4:13) actually about crushing your goals? Turns out Jeremiah 29:11 and the “love chapter” (1 Corinthians 13), are not what you thought they meant. If you’ve ever wondered, “Are we reading this right?” this episode is for you.

    Can I be SURE about Heaven?

    Am I really going to heaven? In this episode of the Why Do Christians podcast, Mark, Pastor Burt, and Pastor Josh dive into what the Bible actually says about assurance of salvation, and why so many of us still feel uncertain. They look at different Christian views on the sinner’s prayer and baptism, discuss seasons of doubt, and explain why real confidence doesn’t come from our performance, but from Christ’s finished work. With Scriptures like John 10, Galatians 4, and Matthew 7, they tackle tough issues like famous “Lord, Lord” verse, and false assurance. Showing how trust in Jesus (not our good works) is the foundation of our hope. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re “good enough” for Heaven, or worried you could lose your salvation, this conversation is for you.

    Spiritual Attacks

    Are you really under spiritual attack—or is it just “one of those days”? In this episode of the Why Do Christians podcast, we tackle a big question from a listener: “How can you tell the difference between a genuine spiritual attack and your own thoughts, choices, or circumstances?” They unpack what the Bible says about the world, the flesh, and the devil. They walk through examples where everyday struggles like pride, unforgiveness, sexual temptation, or even a bad day can have a spiritual component. You’ll hear how Christians often either over-spiritualize everything saying “the devil made me do it,” or under-spiritualize life “it’s all just me,’ and how to find a biblical middle ground. Drawing from passages like Ephesians 2, Job, and the story of Judas, the guys remind us that while the enemy is real, Christ’s authority is greater, and our primary response in any trial is simple: cling to Jesus and stay faithful.

    When To Stop Praying

    Feeling worn out from praying the same prayers and not seeing anything change? In this episode of the Why Do Christians podcast, Mark, Pastor Josh, and Pastor Burt ask: When should I stop praying… or should I ever? They talk about what to do when God feels silent, why Jesus tells us to keep asking, seeking, and knocking, and how to tell the difference between trusting God’s will and lowering your expectations so you don’t get hurt. Using stories from Scripture like Jesus in Gethsemane, Paul’s thorn in the flesh, and Moses begging to enter the Promised Land. They explore when it’s right to keep praying, when it’s time to shift your prayers, and why shame and “I didn’t pray hard enough” guilt are not God’s voice. If you’ve ever wondered whether God cares about your unanswered prayers, this conversation is for you.

    Characteristics of God's Voice

    What does God’s voice actually sound like in your life? In this episode of the Why Do Christians podcast, Mark, Pastor Burt, and Pastor Josh wrap up their “hearing God’s voice” trilogy by unpacking specifically the “characteristics” of God’s voice.. They talk about how God often meets you right where you are—frequently in everyday moments, not just big, dramatic calls to “sell everything and move overseas.” Using stories from Scripture (Abraham, Moses, David, Elijah, Samuel, and more), they show how God often leads us gently and incrementally, building trust over time. You’ll also hear how God’s voice is typically calm but authoritative, full of wisdom, open to reason, and never abusive, harsh, or shaming. They draw a clear line between conviction vs. condemnation, and encourage listeners who feel like they’ve never “heard” God to remember He’s already spoken loudly through Scripture. If you’ve ever wondered, “Was that God, or just my imagination?” this conversation is for you.
