The Long for Truth Show

Welcome to the crazy world of Katie Souza — one of the most unhinged voices in the hyper-charismatic movement. In this episode, we dig deep into some of her strange claims and “miraculous” stories, exposing the twisted theology and dangerous deception behind them. From snake spirits to body-transforming “anointings,” you’ll see how far these teachings have drifted from biblical Christianity.

Many deliverance ministers teach that “soul ties” create demonic bonds between people that must be broken — but is that really in the Bible? In this video, we show how this false doctrine twists Scripture and distracts from the true freedom believers have in Christ. Join us as we debunk soul ties with Scripture, discernment, and a little humor along the way.

Why are so many megachurch pastors living like billionaires? In this video, we take a hard look at mega-rich megachurch pastors around the world and their insane lifestyles.

They say, “God spoke to me.” They say they “heard His voice.” But is the God of the Bible whispering personal messages today? Jim Osman joins me to dismantle the modern obsession with subjective revelation and show from Scripture that God speaks clearly through His Word — not through whispers.

Rock-concert worship bands, Broadway-style productions, cringeworthy sermon series, and pastors dressed like fashionistas—welcome to today’s megachurches. Instead of proclaiming Christ and Him crucified, these churches entertain the masses with gimmicks and spectacles. The result? Shallow distractions that draw crowds but leave souls starving for the Gospel.

Do Christians still struggle with sin after they’re saved? Or does salvation mean a believer can live without wrestling with the flesh? In this episode of the Lightbulb Ministries Podcast, Richard Moore, Rick Becker, and Daniel Long dig deep into the topic of sanctification.

If you’ve ever flipped open your Bible to a random verse hoping for God’s guidance, you may have been practicing something far more dangerous than you realize. Join us as we discuss the practice of Bibliomancy, or "Bible Roulette."

What is the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) really about? Behind the revivals, “apostles,” and “prophets” is a dangerous teaching called I’m joined by Holly Pivec—author, researcher, and host of a brand-new podcast. We spend a large part of this conversation talking about her new show: why she launched it, what topics she’s covering, and how she’s helping Christians discern the truth about the NAR...

In this first episode of the Lightbulb Ministries Podcast, Richard Moore, Rick Becker, and Daniel Long take aim at the popular but unbiblical idea that God wakes you up at 3:00 a.m. to give you fresh revelations, prophetic downloads, or mystical visions. We’ll expose the roots of this teaching, compare it with Scripture, and show why it’s more superstition than sound doctrine.

In this episode, we’re joined by Jesse Westwood—a former Betel insider who spent three years at the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry. Jesse walks us through exactly what he was taught about the gospel at Bethel. If you’ve ever wondered what kind of “good news” is being preached in Redding, this conversation will open your eyes.

Anointing talk runs rampant in Charismatic circles. But is it biblical? In this episode, we compare what some of the most popular Charismatic voices say about “the anointing” with what the Bible actually teaches. Is the anointing something you chase? Can you lose it? Is it transferable? Or is the truth far more grounded—and far more comforting—for those who are in Christ?

The roots of deception in Mercy Culture run deep. In this episode, my guest, Pablo Marte, and I discuss the poisonous prophetic tree of Mercy Culture.

From unbiblical teachings to manipulative practices, we discuss the reasons why Mercy Culture poses a danger to the body of Christ and should be marked and avoided.

Join us as we explore Jimmy Swaggart's life, from humble beginnings to wealth and star status, to scandalous collapse. His story is a cautionary tale to embrace humility and accountability in ministry.

In this video, we examine Hernandez’s background, theology, and public teachings to reveal a troubling alignment with the core doctrines of the Word of Faith movement. From prosperity-lite messages to claims of supernatural he...

The megachurch didn’t just appear out of nowhere—it has a long and tangled history that stretches all the way back to the First Great Awakening. In this episode, we're joined by Steve Kozar of The Messed Up Church as we trace the roots of this modern-day monster, exposing how emotionalism, revivalism, and entertainment have slowly replaced biblical preaching and faithful pastoral care. If you've e...

According to John Bevere, God speaks to him regularly—and he makes sure his audience knows it. But what’s even more concerning is his claim that God commands him to write certain books. If that’s true, we have to ask: are these just books… or new revelation? In this video, we’ll show you the evidence—and let you decide if John Bevere is simply promoting his brand, or elevating his words to the lev...

My guest, Chuck Lewis, grew up in the Word of Faith Movement. Over and over again, he was told that if he just had enough faith, he would be healed. But the healing never came. Now an Assemblies of God pastor, Chuck is speaking out — warning others about the empty promises, dangerous teachings, and false hope that define the Word of Faith Movement. In this interview, he shares his powerful story o...

John and Lisa Bevere are bestselling authors with global influence, but beneath the polished image is troubling theology. They claim that God personally told them to write their books—and in some cases, elevate their teachings alongside the authority of Scripture. In this episode, we're joined by Rick Becker from Famine in the Land as we take a closer look at the Bevere empire. Do their teachings...

The self-proclaimed prophets are back — rambling, blathering, and claiming they know exactly where Christ wants to take His Church in 2025.

These so-called "words from the Lord" are filled with emotional hype, vague impressions, and spiritual jargon — but do they align...
