The Lovesick Scribe Podcast

Jesus refers to Himself as the good Shepherd a few times in John 10. He calls those who follow Him His sheep. Have you ever thought of yourself as a sheep? It may not seem flattering as sheep are defenseless and are prone to wander and to get into dire predicaments, but it seems quite fitting given our ways at times. We desperately need the good Shepherd! Join me as we discuss this further, lookin...

Do you have pigs in your parlor? You may not understand the reference, but today we are going to be looking at a well-known book in Charismatic circles that is used for insight into deliverance ministry for Christians. There are thousands of books and such on the subject of deliverance and spiritual warfare. But there are some concerns and questions with some teachings. What does the Bible have to...

As we approach this weekend and our celebration and reflection on the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, I wanted to share this post with you focusing on Colossians 3:16. It may seem an unlikely passage to bring to our remembrance for this time, but I found myself pondering on the word of Christ dwelling richly within us and the importance of it. Thank God for His Word and for the gospel that has saved...

What do you know about the Seven Mountain Mandate? Maybe you have heard of it, and maybe this is a foreign topic to you. Either way, I am glad that you are joining me for this important topic. There are many who hold to this teaching that is rooted in dominion theology, but is there anything wrong with its teaching? Today, we are going to be looking at a book centered around this teaching and disc...

Today's episode is rather personal. It was two years ago that events were put into motion, which culminated in my family having to leave the church we had known for almost 20 years. That time ultimately led to my public repentance as a false prophet. For those who may have come out of a similar situation or movement, I pray that this blesses you and encourages you. We have a mighty Savior and a Go...

Who are the true apostles? Does the Bible tell us any requirements for an apostle of Christ? This is an important topic as there are those today who would call themselves apostles with the same governing authority as those in the New Testament. The Word of God gives us some insight into apostles that we should not ignore. Join me today as we discuss this subject and we take a look at Scripture she...

King David is known by many for being a man after God's own heart. His sin against God is something that is rarely discussed, and when it is mentioned, there can be a tendency to use his fall as an example of God forgiving a great leader. But in order for us to understand why God forgave David, we must return to the Word of God and take a closer look at his sin and the state of this man's soul in...

You may know this song. It was a personal favorite for years. The very beginning of the song, How He Loves, tells us that He is jealous for us. Yet, is this a Biblical statement? Is God jealous for you and me, or for something else that we do not understand? We are going to talk about this today, as well as the current state of some of the praise and worship music. The Bible helps us in understand...

As believers in Christ, we can anticipate being pruned spiritually. Jesus Christ spoke to His disciples in John 15, "I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit." He goes on to stress the importance of branches abiding in the vine and helping His discipl...

It is now 2021, and much has taken place in the United States with the election. The pandemic continues, and there is much uncertainty abounding.  However, there is another pandemic that has made itself known even more so, and that is the pandemic of false prophecy concerning the election. Today, I will be discussing this and my concerns for what is taking place in the prophetic movement. Som...

The truth indeed brings freedom, and there is no greater truth than the Word of God. True freedom cannot come to us apart from Christ and His Word. Troubles arise when Scripture is misappropriated, and when this happens, bondages are inadvertently created by the perpetrator of misappropriation, not by Scripture itself. There were things I once believed, things that could not be substantiated in th...

We all try to avoid it. We beg and plead at times for a cup of suffering to pass from us. Some teachings even frown upon suffering, denying that God's best is not being received. But Scripture makes it clear that suffering comes, whether through affliction or persecution, it comes. Suffering is never more clear than in our Savior and His atonement for our sins. When I think about it, it seems arro...

Inner healing and deliverance. Sozo. Theophostic prayer. You may have heard these terms or even participated in inner healing sessions. What you may not recognize is this name: Agnes Sanford. Who is Agnes Sanford, and what does she have to do with inner healing?  More than you might think. I took the time months ago to read two of Sanford's books and test them against Scripture. You may be sh...

You may have recently seen a clip circulating on social media and the internet regarding an illustrated sermon by a well known minister, talking about the blood covenant. The actions portrayed disturbed and upset many, and it brought a question to the forefront of this teaching: was this teaching Biblical and a true representation of the better covenant brought by the blood of Jesus Christ? You ma...

What does the Bible say about false teachers? Are we to even concern ourselves with potential false teaching and false doctrine, or should we take a passive approach even if it means others are led astray eternally? We all may have been or are inclined to avoid addressing such an issue, but this is a serious matter, and one which should not be ignored or diminished but addressed in truth and in th...

Luke 24 is a well known account that many of us love to read. Many of us especially love the part where the disciples ask one another, "Did our hearts not burn within us?" But what made their hearts burn? We are going to be talking a little bit about this today, and my hope is that our hearts will burn for the same reason as these disciples.  Are you a reader and enjoy blogs? You can find the...

I have heard this and seen this Bible verse more times than I can count, and maybe you have as well.  It seems to surface when someone brings a well known minister's words or public teaching into question. This Scripture, "Touch not my anointed and do my prophets no harm", at times strikes fear into the hearts of people, and it leads many to think that raising such questions are inappropriate...

Have you ever had thoughts that you knew if said out loud could breed contention? It is probably safe to say that there is quite a bit you and I keep to ourselves. Well, on this week's podcast, we are going to be talking about the current situation with the American Presidential election and prophecies surrounding the outcome. Whether you agree or disagree with what I say here, I hope that you are...

There is a more sure Word. It is called the Bible. In this episode, I share some personal things with you and the wonderful conviction of the Holy Spirit to lead me into the truth. Over this past year, after coming out of a hyper charismatic/NAR movement, I came to terms with the truth that I had been a false prophet. How do I know that? Listen on to find out, but even more than that. Read the Bib...

What does the Bible say about assigning meaning to such things as dragonflies and repetitive numbers in determining direction for our lives? Should Christians be participating in such practices? These were things that I did as one who was part of the prophetic movement in the charismatic church. This was one of many things which God convicted me of and led me to repentance. In this podcast, we tal...

Over the past several weeks, there have been major developments regarding the United States Supreme Court. One of the pressing issues you may hear many conservatives and Christians discuss is the issue of abortion and the future of Roe versus Wade. As a Christian, you may have avoided discussions about abortion with others for different reasons, but as believers, we need to openly discuss these is...
