Melissa’s story begins with her deep involvement in various religious movements, particularly IHOP (International House of Prayer) and the Vineyard, influenced by her father, Wade Henkin. Over nearly three decades, she became embedded in the NAR movement, only to experience disillusionment through her discovery of deceptive practices, including spiritual abuse and false teachings. She details the experiences that led to her deliverance in 2020, such as witnessing false prophecy and demonic influences in the church. The interview reveals the profound spiritual impact these movements had on her life, including how they shaped her early faith and how she eventually found freedom through personal revelations and studying scripture. John and Melissa discuss the stark differences between true Christianity and what she describes as spiritualism masquerading as Christian teaching within the NAR. As they move through Melissa’s life, the podcast reveals the dangerous allure of charismatic movements that focus on power, prophecy, and personal elevation rather than character and scripture. Melissa explains how these teachings led to the suppression of true Christian virtues such as humility, repentance, and godly character. They reflect on the healing process and offer advice to others facing similar circumstances, emphasizing the importance of prayer, community, and a return to biblical truths. The conversation concludes with Melissa expressing gratitude for her escape and newfound peace, and John offering his thoughts on deliverance and spiritual recovery.
