The Remnant Radio's Podcast

Ever feel like your church calendar skips straight from Christmas cheer to Easter celebration—missing something crucial in between? You're not alone, and Lent might be the answer.Join Joshua Lewis and author Elyse Fitzpatrick to understand why Lent matters for every believer—not just the high church crowd. Elyse shares her transformative Ash Wednesday experience during the pandemic and why spending 40 days reflecting on Christ's suffering changed everything about her faith.This isn't about earning brownie points with God through religious rituals. It's about understanding that before glory comes suffering—and why Western Christianity desperately needs to recover this truth. Elyse unpacks how fasting reveals our weakness so we can rest in Christ's strength, and why biblical lament looks nothing like hopeless despair.This conversation challenges our therapeutic, comfort-obsessed culture. Discover why the church calendar isn't just liturgical tradition—it's discipleship that keeps Christ's life and work constantly before our eyes. Learn how to practice godly lament, embrace voluntary weakness, and find hope in the wilderness seasons of life.In This Episode:-Why low-church Christians should care about Lent and the church calendar-The difference between fasting for merit versus fasting for remembrance-How to practice biblical lament with resurrection hope-Why American Christianity avoids suffering and what we lose because of it-The hidden grief of Palm Sunday and burned palm branch symbolism-Balancing community service with personal solitude during Lent0:00 – Introduction3:07 – What is Lent and Why Does it Matter?8:54 – The Experience of Ash Wednesday15:12 – Jesus in the Wilderness and Voluntary Weakness27:13 – Why "Friend of Sinners"?34:42 – Understanding Healthy Christian Lament42:34 – Palm Sunday Triumph and Weeping51:03 – Closing ThoughtsABOUT THE GUEST:

In this episode of Remnant Radio, we debunk the“prophetic words” from Jeremiah Johnson. Joined by guest co-host JonMark Baker with the Minor Prophets Podcast and Michael Miller, we clarify up front that this is not a cessationist critique—everyone on the panel affirms and practices continuationist gifts, including prophecy. Our aim is to model biblical “testing and weighing” (1 Cor. 14:29; 1 Thess. 5:19–22) for the health of the church.We walk through multiple clips from Johnson's “2025” prophecy, assessing whether the claims are genuinely prophetic, testable, and rooted in sound exegesis—or whether they function as “words of obvious,” built from current events and broadly plausible predictions. We also address methodological red flags, including numerology-style reasoning, vague claims that cannot be meaningfully verified, and the way certain segments appear to preempt criticism by framing accusations as “Leviathan” twisting words. Along the way, we discuss the importance of judging not only the content of a prophetic word but also the prophet's credibility and fruit, especially when public prophecy has a track record of harm, manipulation, or failed predictions.How to Test Prophecy Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMsjeViSScFHAxEWVUTMiJvLHWHF7hOE1 Join the conversation, test everything, and hold fast to what is good.00:00 Introduction02:15 Why charismatics must test prophecy04:30 How bad prophecy damages the church07:15 Trump as a “wartime president” prophecy10:05 Assassination warnings and predictable claims11:55 Israel conflict prophecy evaluated12:50 Candace Owens “Spirit of Jehu” prophecy14:40 Kanye West prophecy that backfired16:15 Mike Bickle and “passing the crown” prophecy19:05 Explaining “words of obvious”20:55 Can this be Googled?

What happens when the power of the Holy Spirit collides with the chaos of American politics? Join Joshua Lewis as he sits down with historian Molly Worthen to explore her book Spellbound, which traces the fascinating and often controversial story of charisma—both spiritual and political—from Puritan prophets to modern-day leaders like Donald Trump.We explore the tension between institutional authority and personal revelation that has defined American Christianity and culture for centuries. Discover how figures like Anne Hutchinson challenged Puritan ministers by claiming direct assurance from the Holy Spirit, how George Whitefield revolutionized preaching with theatrical emotion, and how Joseph Smith blended enlightenment rationalism with spiritual experience to birth Mormonism.Professor Worthen, a historian at UNC Chapel Hill, reveals how charismatic leaders aren't always the charming orators we imagine—instead, they're polarizing storytellers who invite followers into transcendent narratives that give suffering and struggle cosmic significance. We explore the dangerous line between prophetic truth and spiritual manipulation, examining everyone from radical Quaker Benjamin Lay to Martin Luther King Jr., and asking the crucial question: how do we test the spirits in an age of radical individualism?Whether you're fascinated by church history, concerned about discernment in charismatic movements, or trying to understand the spiritual undercurrents shaping our political moment, this episode offers essential insights into how divine power—or the claim to it—has shaped the American experiment.0:00 – Introduction0:46 – Molly's background and ministry4:49 – Defining charisma20:11 – Anne Hutchinson & Puritan Massachusetts30:00 – Donna Beatrice & the Congo rebellion36:25 – George Fox & the Quaker movement44:01 – George Whitefield & emotional preaching50:28 – Charisma & American individualism54:05 – Joseph Smith & the Mormon church1:00:14 – Closing thoughts on charisma & discernmentABOUT THE GUEST:

In this end-of-year episode, the Remnant Radio crew breaks down prophetic declarations given at the start of 2025, comparing them against real-world events and spiritual markers we've witnessed throughout the year. We'll discuss the hits, the misses, and the "jury's still out" moments with honesty and biblical integrity. Our goal is to uphold the standard Scripture gives us for testing prophecy and holding modern prophets accountable to God's Word.We'll explore critical questions every believer should ask: How do we properly test prophetic words according to 1 Thessalonians 5:20-21? What separates genuine prophetic insight from wishful thinking or cultural commentary? How should the body of Christ respond when prophecies don't come to pass? And what does biblical discernment look like in an age of viral prophetic declarations?Whether you're navigating the prophetic movement, curious about spiritual gifts, or simply want to grow in biblical discernment, this episode offers practical wisdom rooted in Scripture. We're committed to honoring authentic moves of the Holy Spirit while maintaining the accountability that protects God's people from deception. As we close out 2025, join us for an honest conversation about prophecy, discernment, and what it means to test everything and hold fast to what is good.0:00 – Introduction3:26 – Theology of prophecy and why we review national words8:20 – Tomi Arayomi's prophecy28:34 – Kay Nash prophecy45:59 – Emma Stark / Sam Robertson prophecy57:30 – Closing thoughts

We believe that the balance, or as we call it the "radical middle" between Word and Spirit isn't found through treating them like opposing forces. Rather, it's found through pursuing both fully and deeply. We want the full counsel of the Word of God. We want you to be biblically literate, equipped to rightly divide the Word for yourself. We also want the Holy Spirit to move in power, unhindered and unquenched in our lives, and we want you to see His miraculous power at work.It's easy to feel theologically homeless when you have a hunger for the Word, an appreciation for church history and liturgy, yet see the lack of spiritual depth in many churches. We also know how stifling it can feel to know there is more to experience of God's power in your life, but have so few balanced voices to learn from. The Remnant Radio was born out of our own hunger for challenging conversations,  theological depth, and a desire to experience all that God has for us! 

Can theological debates destroy Christian unity? In this raw, unfiltered conversation, we sit down with Jon Moffitt (Theocast) and Doug Van Dorn (Reformed Fringe) to discuss one of the more controversial splits in the Reformed world—and what it reveals about how we handle disagreement in the body of Christ. Jon and Doug open up about their journey exploring the spiritual realm, the divine council, and the angel of the Lord—topics that sparked fierce opposition within their own theological circles. What began as thoughtful biblical exploration turned into accusations of heresy, demands for public repentance, and ultimately, painful separation from longtime friends and ministry partners.This isn't just another theology debate. It's a sobering look at how pride, fear, and miscommunication can fracture Christian unity, even among believers who share the same core convictions. Jon and Doug discuss the Grace Reformed Network controversy, the role of Michael Heiser's work in Reformed circles, and why talking about angels and spiritual warfare became so divisive.We dive deep into questions that matter: How should Christians handle theological disagreements? When does doctrinal clarity become doctrinal gatekeeping? And how do we fight for truth without destroying the very unity Christ prayed for ?Whether you're Reformed, charismatic, or somewhere in between, this conversation offers crucial lessons about humility, spiritual warfare, and the cost of standing for what you believe. The real enemy isn't the brother who disagrees with you—it's the one who wants to see the church divided.Join Joshua Lewis, Michael Miller, Jon Moffitt, and Doug Van Dorn for a conversation about Christian theology, biblical interpretation, spiritual warfare, church unity, and what happens when good men disagree.0:00 – Introduction7:12 – The (Reformed) Fringe podcast12:43 – Heiser, the Divine Council, & pushback 20:11 – Online debates, slander, & controversy31:05 – Strawmanning & accusations of heresy43:06 – Internal concerns & pressure to shut down Fringe50:04 – Email ultimatum56:02 – Board letters, Jon & Doug's clarifying response1:02:24 – Doug's theology of the Angel of the Lord1:13:35 – How GRN handled Doug's old paper & calls for due process1:19:23 – Reflections on unity, charity, & spiritual warfare1:23:28 – Closing

Can a true prophet of God ever miss a word—or does one mistake automatically make you a false prophet?

Joshua Lewis sits down with Dr. Joy Qualls—Pentecostal scholar, Assemblies of God minister, and author to explore the history, theology, and lived experience of women in Pentecostal leadership. From early Scandinavian pietist revivals and Azusa Street to modern Assemblies of God policy, they trace how Pentecostal theology of Holy Spirit empowerment collided with institutional respectability, evangelical politics, and unspoken “invisible fences” around women's roles in church leadership.Along the way, they unpack stories of forgotten Pentecostal heroines like Rachel Sislo, Amanda Benedict, May Eleanor Fry, and Blanch Elizabeth Britton—women who planted churches, prayed in revival, confronted injustice, and literally died on the road preaching the gospel. They also explore how AG policy has officially affirmed women in ministry since 1935, even while local practice has often lagged behind, creating dissonance for called women in Pentecostal churches.This episode will challenge both complementarian and egalitarian assumptions. It raises hard questions about ecclesiology, spiritual gifts vs. church offices, spiritual warfare over calling, and how movements lose their prophetic edge when they chase institutional respectability.This conversation provides historical context, theological categories, and pastoral wisdom for navigating the debate of women in ministry without capitulating to cultural pressure on either side.0:00 – Introduction2:27 – Book overview4:59 – The rhetoric versus reality for women in AG8:39 – Assemblies of God policy13:31 – National leadership changes16:54 – Growth in women's credentialing and leadership17:00 – Women's role before Azusa22:19 – Early female leaders36:46 – Institutionalization challenges43:03 – Pendulum swings51:47 – Influence of respectability and evangelical integration57:12 – Recent decades: education, policy, and hope for the future1:03:44 – Final thoughtsABOUT THE GUEST:

Jesus Christ, the Messiah: fully God and fully man. But how did he live as a human submitted to the Father, perform miracles by the Holy Spirit, and choose not to exercise divine prerogatives at will? In this episode, we unpack the Chalcedonian Definition of the Hypostatic Union, exploring its historical significance and how it protects against heresy. We explore how this doctrine affects our understanding of Jesus's miracles, the Spirit-Empowered Ministry, and the ongoing debate surrounding kenotic heresy. Learn how Jesus, as both God and Man, performed miracles and lived a life of Spirit-Empowered Ministry.The Chalcedonian definition of hypostatic union states that Jesus Christ is one person in whom two distinct natures—divine and human—are united without confusion, change, division, or separation. Each nature retains its own properties, and both are unified in one "person" or "subsistence" ((hypostasis)), meaning Christ is both fully God and fully man, not a mixture of the two. One person, two natures: Christ is one person (the eternal Son of God), who is both fully divine and fully human.Without confusion or change: The divine and human natures are not merged into a single new nature. The incarnation did not diminish Christ's divinity; it was not a change from what he was.Without division or separation: The two natures are not split into two separate individuals or persons. They are held together in one unique person, the Lord Jesus Christ.Propriety of each nature is preserved: The unique attributes of each nature remain. For example, Christ's divinity is not bloodied, but as a human, he has a body and soul.One subsistence: The two natures "concur" in a single person and subsistence, a concept that safeguarded against heresies that separated the natures or blended them together.

Does a single wrong prophecy make you a false prophet? Cessationists argue yes, but we're examining examples in Acts that challenge this view.  We'll dig into Scripture to understand how we should respond to prophecy in a way that remains biblical and faithful without quenching the Spirit.

Did Kim Clement, Charlie Shamp, and Mark Driscoll hear from God about the shocking events surrounding Charlie Kirk's assassination and the spiritual awakening that's followed? Tune into The Remnant Radio as we analyze these prophecies through the lens of Scripture.In this episode, we're diving into some intriguing prophecies surrounding Charlie's Kirk's death, examining them in light of biblical prophecy and solid Christian theology. We'll look at Kim's 2011 word about an "Esther" figure with "big, beautiful eyes" who steps up to bring healing and restoration to a hurting nation—a description many are now connecting to Erika Kirk's powerful call for forgiveness after her husband's tragic death.Then there's Charlie Shamp's July 23, 2023, prophecy (shared at Prepare the Way International Church in Phoenix and later on social media), where he talks about a "shot heard around the world" in Arizona that doesn't shut down the church but instead ignites deeper intercession, groaning prayers from the saints, and a fresh outpouring of revival with God's glory coming down like a cloud.And we'll hear from Mark Driscoll on the spiritual warfare side, with his message pointing out the demonic forces that could be at work and how martyrdom like this might spark real repentance and shine a light on hidden corruption.As always, we're approaching this with careful scriptural reflection—testing everything against God's Word. Tune in as we call balls and strikes on these prophetic words.

Are spiritual gifts just an optional add-on, or are they essential to the gospel's work in the world? In this episode, we dig deep into Scripture to explore how the life, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus not only purchases our salvation but also secures the Holy Spirit's gifts for the church. We'll navigate the often-contentious debate between Charismatics and Cessationists, examining how both sides can sometimes miss the full picture. We'll address the Charismatic tendency to detach the gifts from the core message of the gospel, and the Cessationist impulse to preach a “gospel” that sidelines the very gifts Christ gave to His people.
