The Remnant Radio's Podcast

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 soakin...

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 Bapt...

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 spir...

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...

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...

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, b...

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...

Samuel Rutherford helped write the Westminster Confession. He also developed a four-part test for evaluating prophetic words. That's not a charismatic running loose, but a Westminster divine doing careful pastoral theology on the gifts. ABOUT THIS EPISODE: There's an assumption that the debate over spiritual gifts is a recent one: a 20th-century Pentecostal invention set against centurie...

The early church didn't just baptize new believers. They delivered them first. For the first several centuries of Christianity, exorcism wasn't a dramatic spectacle reserved for extreme cases. It was woven into the baptismal rite itself, practiced across traditions, and considered a normal part of welcoming someone into the body of Christ. Somewhere along the way, we forgot. ABOUT THIS E...

When reading the Bible, Christians are often trained to do one of two things: submit their interpretation to an authority or trust their feelings. Alli Patterson's new book makes the case for a third way - one where the Holy Spirit is not an alternative to good hermeneutics, but the reason they work at all. ABOUT THIS EPISODE: The conversation happening inside the body of Christ right now isn...

If a book promises to give you the heart of God while quietly replacing His words with someone else's, that's not a translation. It's a trap. And the trap has a paper trail. ABOUT THIS EPISODE: The Passion Translation has been endorsed by some of the most influential voices in the charismatic world. Bill Johnson called it the best thing to happen to Bible translation in his lifetime...

Most Christians think the debate over spiritual gifts comes down to one question: do they still happen or don't they? Dr. Vern Poythress, 50-year New Testament professor at Westminster Theological Seminary, says both cessationists and continuationists are asking the wrong question.  ABOUT THIS EPISODE: Dr. Poythress proposes the term "analogous gifts" — the idea that the gifts of th...

What if the Old Testament prophets weren't just messengers who received words from God, but participants in His heavenly court? That's the proposal Dr. Michael Heiser put forth in his works on the divine council. The Remnant Radio explores this perspective, walks through the texts, and works out what it means for how we think about prophecy today. ABOUT THE EPISODE: Dr. Michael Heiser pu...

Bethel Church released a NEW statement via email addressing the controversies and scandals involving their organization and the people they've endorsed and promoted.  We've been consistent on this: the charismatic movement needs internal voices willing to evaluate its most influential organizations with theological honesty. Tribal loyalty doesn't serve the people who've been hu...

The question isn't whether the lights in the sky are real. It's what doors you're actually opening when you go looking for them. Something strange has been happening at the intersection of UFO culture and spirituality. People are gathering in the dark, meditating in circles, performing rituals, and then pointing cameras at the night sky and calling it contact. Steven Greer has built...

The church that prays boldly for healing and the church that honors its suffering members aren't two different churches. They're the same church. Most of us haven't figured out how to be both at once. ABOUT THIS EPISODE: There's a tension running through charismatic communities that almost no one names out loud. We believe the Spirit still heals. We preach it, we pray for it, w...

Isaac trembled violently after realizing he blessed the wrong son. He didn't reverse the blessing. He couldn't . . . That moment, super easy to read past, is actually one of the most theologically loaded scenes in the entire book of Genesis. Most of us read past the patriarchal blessings in Genesis the same way. The text doesn't slow down to explain them. Lamech names his son Noah,...

Joshua Lewis and Michael Miller answer your questions from their recent livestream on the rise and fall of the Kansas City Prophets. They tackle some of the toughest questions surrounding false prophecy, discernment, and the legacy of Mike Bickle and IHOP.   Topics covered include: -How many false prophecies does it take to be considered a false prophet? -Did God really speak to Mike Bickle in Egy...

There's a version of complementarian theology that quietly reshapes the Trinity to make its argument. Most people who hold it don't realize that's what they're doing. Dr. Malcolm Yarnell does — and he wrote the book on why it matters. Dr. Malcolm Yarnell, professor of Theology at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and author of the Theology for Every Person series, joins...

Dr. Sam Storms has been one of our own. He's served at our conferences, he's connected to us through the Convergence Church Network, and he's been one of the clearest continuationist voices in evangelical Christianity for decades. His new book, The Rise and Fall of the Kansas City Prophets, is the most detailed insider account of the Kansas City prophetic movement ever written — 310...

What if your mental health struggles were something more than what the DSM identifies? What if there was a spiritual aspect keeping you from walking in freedom? Dr. Natalie Atwell has spent over 20 years as a licensed therapist, and she'll be the first to tell you she ignored that question for most of her career. Then the cases got darker, standard treatments stopped working, and a deep dive...

Is there one giant spirit of Leviathan demonizing thousands of people simultaneously or is something else going on? The answer cuts deeper than spiritual warfare. It goes straight to the nature of God. The body of Christ has a problem with demon taxonomy. On one end, cessationists deny the category entirely. On the other, some corners of charismatic practice have quietly handed evil spirits divine...

Lilith keeps showing up: in video games, TV shows, ancient mythology, and feminist websites. But she also shows up in the Bible. And most Christians have no idea. Michael Miller sits down with Nelly Van Sickle, pastor of Evergreen Calvary Chapel and host of The Dancing Toaster podcast, to trace the biblical and historical case for Lilith as a genuine supernatural entity. Starting with Isaiah 34:14...

Most teaching on this gift goes one direction: detect the demon, cast it out, move on. But what if that's only a fraction of what Paul actually meant? In 1 Corinthians 12:10, Paul lists the gift of discernment of spirits and says nothing else. The silence has fueled real debate, and in this episode Michael Rowntree walks through the three most serious scholarly positions and tells you where h...

Corey Minor of the Smart Christians Channel recently posted a detailed response to Michael Miller's appearance on Deep End with Lecrae, challenging the biblical basis for generational curses and deliverance ministry. In this episode, the Remnant Radio team engages that critique directly with respect for Corey as a Christian brother and honest disagreement with his conclusions. The core questi...
