Podcast appearances and mentions of Bill Johnson

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. It's been sold in Bethel's bookstore, read in prayer rooms, and handed to new believers across the movement.David Fish and JonMark Baker of the Minor Prophets Podcast spent weeks comparing the Passion Translation, line by line, against its claimed sources. What they found isn't a matter of interpretation. It's documented.Where Brian Simmons departs from the Greek text, and claims an "Aramaic" source, the renderings don't match the Peshitta, the actual Syriac New Testament. They match the Mirror Bible, The Message, and other fringe paraphrases. Fish found over 300 instances in Paul's epistles alone. Simmons also claimed co-translator credentials on a Kuna New Testament. Ethnos 360, the mission that ran the project, says he was NEVER a Bible translator. The organization's own personnel said so on record.The second half of this episode goes deeper: into Simmons' theology. In his own words, in multiple recordings, he redefines the second coming of Christ as an unveiling of a glorified end-times people rather than a bodily return. He calls the physical second coming "not in the Bible." He says, directly: "Christ is no longer a person. He is now a body, a corporate expression." That's not a slip. That's a system, and it has a name: Manifested Sons of God theology has a long history in the fringe of the charismatic world, and Brian Simmons is teaching it from the platform the movement handed him.Join us to hear the evidence for yourself as fellow continuationists examine the paper trail.0:00 – Introduction3:55 – Plagiarism Discovery Explained5:53 – Examples of Copied Verses8:16 – Why Simmons Changed Text12:07 – Lessening Judgment: John 1513:29 – Is Simmons a Universalist?16:46 – Simmons' Fabricated Credentials18:44 – Ethnos360 Exposes Simmons20:01 – Manifested Sons Theology37:21 – "I Know When Jesus Returns"57:58 – "I Am My Lover" Clip1:06:35 – "Christ Is No Longer A Person"1:14:26 – Closing ThoughtsRESOURCES MENTIONED:- The Minor Prophets/Mike Winger episode:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9--owgBjtA- Andrew Chapman's Research: https://theriveroflife.com/category/the-passion-anti-translation/- Mike Winger's Research on The Passion Translation: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHuv-ISp_iIw1WL8zaEm86L8 and https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHvXha4rjCj1Po0WLQc_jGGW- Handbook on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament — G.K.

Host Jeff Shepard traces a single ancient lie — "You will become like God" — from Genesis through modern Christian teaching that elevates humanity to divinity. Using recorded statements from well-known ministers such as Kenneth Copeland, Paul Crouch, Bill Johnson, and Benny Hinn, this episode shows how phrases like "I am a little God" and "made man into little gods" echo the serpent's promise in the garden and reappear on pulpits, stages, and television screens today. The episode examines the theological danger of denying Christ's eternal deity, explaining why Jesus must be fully God from the beginning for his sacrifice to save. Key Scripture references are discussed — John 1:1,14; Isaiah 43:10; Isaiah 42:8 — and listeners are reminded that we are redeemed, adopted, and made new in Christ but not converted into divine beings. The program connects modern Sons-of-God teachings to earlier occult and New Age streams, including Theosophy (Helena Blavatsky), Alice Bailey, and the latter rain movement, revealing a continuous influence behind the idea of human divinization. Practical application is emphasized: test all teaching against Scripture, heed the Apostle Paul's warning in 1 Timothy 4:1 about deceitful spirits, and emulate the Bereans by examining the Word carefully. While exposing error, the host affirms that God still meets sincere seekers of the true Jesus — the eternal Son of God who became flesh, died, rose again, and will return as King. Listeners are encouraged to stand firm in orthodox Christian truth, reject teachers who strip Christ of his deity, and live out their faith by loving God, family, and neighbors while making a difference in their communities.

Are you praying like a son or daughter? God isn't a caretaker of an orphanage; He is a father, and we are His children. In this message, Bill Johnson teaches from Matthew 6, highlighting the paternal nature of our heavenly Father and inviting the Body of Christ into a greater understanding of who they are in Him. The discovery of who God is changes how we pray, and the discovery of who we are in Him, changes our authority. Prayer is a foundational practice designed to build healthy believers and to release the culture of Heaven on earth. What does it sound like when we pray from a deep knowing of who God is? How does what we believe about ourselves impact our prayer life? This sermon marks the start of Bill's long-awaited sabbatical. As he shares, we pray that you are reminded of the reality of who God is, who He created you to be, and what's possible when you live from that place.

This week on the Brave Co Podcast, I'm getting personal about something that's been stirring in my heart for the last eight months — the role of a man as a watchman, a priest, and a contender in prayer. I'll be honest with you, I've never thought of myself as a prayer warrior in the same league as men like Lou Engle or Watchman Nee, but God has been pulling me into a deeper place. After a lunch with a friend who is genuinely a man of prayer, I started making small shifts — five minutes here, ten minutes there — and watching what God was doing in real time. This episode is me inviting you into that same stirring.I walk through the four roles every man is called to step into — priest, prophet, king, and warrior — and zoom in on what it means to be a priest who goes to God on behalf of his family. We look at Isaiah 62, Ezekiel 22, Psalm 106, and the story of Moses literally changing God's mind on behalf of a rebellious nation. The truth is, God isn't lacking power. He's looking for men who will take ownership, men who will stand in the breach, men who refuse to let their families, their churches, and their cities go unprotected. That's you. That's me. That's our actual role.I share a story from my childhood about falling asleep under the chairs at my dad's Friday night prayer meetings while men like Bill Johnson and Danny Silk contended in the room, and how that model is still shaping me today. I talk about the Businessmen's Revival in America and why I believe God is waking men up right now to do the same thing in this generation. If you've been passive, distracted, or unsure where to even start, this episode gives you a simple challenge — just five minutes. Start there, build the habit, and watch what shifts.

At BraveCo, we are on a mission to heal the narrative of masculinity across a generation; fighting the good fight together because every man should feel confident and capable of facing his pain, loving deeply, and leading a life that impacts the world around him.

Community heals. God delights in it so deeply that He chooses to reveal Himself in the midst of it. In this message, Bill Johnson unpacks the power of fellowship within the people and communities around us. We are designed for connection—first with God, and then with one another. Many of the plans and purposes of God for our lives are discovered, strengthened, and fulfilled in the context of relationship. In that place, there is an invitation to love well. We know that we are called to love our neighbor—not just in word, but in the same way we have been loved by God. When believers show up for one another with intentionality and care, we begin to reflect the heart of Christ and experience His presence through community. As you listen, ask the Lord how you can more intentionally steward the relationships He has given you. Our prayer is that you would be encouraged to love deeply, invest faithfully, and continue building a life grounded in connection with Him and others.

Aligning with the divine purpose over our lives is essential to bringing the kingdom of Heaven to earth; and we've been commissioned to do it. In this message, Bill Johnson continues his series on aligning with divine purpose. The plans and purposes God assigned us to are more than good plans. Divine purpose is our duty as believers. How do we, as carriers of Christ, go about bringing the kingdom of God to the places we've been planted in? What happens when believers live powerful and intentional, Christ-like lives? The power of Jesus dwelling within every Christian is designed to manifest through their lives. There's an invitation to say "yes" again to being the hands and feet of Jesus to the world around us. As you join us for part three of this series, our prayer is that you'd be inspired and commissioned to answer that call again!

Living aware of God—His presence, voice, and Spirit—is a critical component of the Christian life. It is one of the many byproducts of His life, death, and resurrection. In this Easter Sunday message, Bill Johnson teaches on the lifestyle believers get to enter into as a result of the finished work of the Cross. The Christian life is a life of resurrection. It's about surrender, yielding, and wholeheartedly pursuing Jesus so that the fruit of our lives mirrors the resurrection of Christ. As we celebrate Jesus, our prayer is that you are encouraged to live in the reality of His resurrection, with increased awareness of His presence and a renewed passion for the gift of salvation you have been given!

When the prophet Isaiah declared, “Arise and shine,” it was more than simply an encouragement—it was a commission. The Light of the world longs to shine through His people. In this message, Bill Johnson unpacks Isaiah 60:1-5, inviting the Church to step into the promises of God now. While some promises unfold over time, many are meant to be lived in and expressed today. Why do we believe at times that certain promises aren't for us? And what might the world look like if the Church walked in greater boldness and faith in what God has spoken? Join us as we respond to this invitation—to arise, to shine, and to step into a deeper level of faith, trusting God to fulfill His Word in and through our lives.  

We are better together. Jesus calls us to love one another in the midst of our brokenness, and as we do, we create space for His power to be revealed among us. In this message, Bill Johnson shares on the power of God at work through His people. All authority belongs to Him, and as we pursue His presence, walk in obedience, and live from His love, His power flows through our lives. While the enemy has no authority, where might we unknowingly be partnering with him? How do we grow in trust with God and become a people He can move through? As a church family, our desire is to be a community trusted by God—one that faithfully represents His love, power, and authority in the earth. We pray that wherever you're listening from, you would be strengthened in your faith, challenged to love deeply, and encouraged to walk in wholehearted obedience.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of The Faith of the Fathers, Karl Gessler discusses church leadership, church scandal, and the growing “exposure culture” within modern Christianity. Drawing from recent controversies surrounding ministries like Bethel Church and leaders such as Bill Johnson, Karl examines the increasing tendency of believers to tear down entire ministries and permanently disqualify pastors when failures or controversies arise.While accountability and truth matter deeply in the church, a culture of constant exposure and condemnation can become destructive. Many Christians are quick to attack leaders, ministries, and movements without realizing they may be cutting off the very branch they are sitting on.Karl explores the dangers of modern exposure culture, the rise of deconstruction among Millennials, and the spiritual damage that occurs when criticism replaces humility, mercy, and restoration.The power of the Gospel is grace, not exposure. Exposure may stop the immediate evil of a perpetrator, but grace is what brings true healing and restoration.The Gospel does more than expose sin — it restores the broken, heals the wounded, and calls sinners to repentance. If the church is going to experience true revival, it must learn to hold leaders accountable without abandoning mercy and grace.Support the show❤️ SHOW YOUR SUPPORT - LINKS BELOW...➡️ Email me: https://www.karlgessler.com/deliverance➡️ DONATE ➡️  Join our team!https://www.givesendgo.com/karlgessle...  / karlgessler  ...

Holly Pivec and Doug Geivett on Two Decades of Tracking the NAR's Apostles and Prophets You walk into a church on Sunday morning. The worship band plays songs you've heard on Christian radio for years. The lyrics feel familiar, uplifting. What you don't realize is that the words you're singing were written to export a specific theology from a single church in Redding, California, one whose leadership claims direct prophetic authority from God. The church is Bethel. The movement behind it is the New Apostolic Reformation. And according to researchers Holly Pivec and Doug Geivett, who have spent over two decades studying this movement from inside Christian scholarship, it represents a radical departure from historic Christianity that is reshaping churches, politics, and millions of lives worldwide. I sat down with Holly and Doug on a recent episode of Cults, Culture & Coercion to discuss their latest book, Reckless Christianity: The Destructive New Teachings and Practices of Bill Johnson, Bethel Church, and the Global Movement of Apostles and Prophets. I've written about the New Apostolic Reformation in The Cult of Trump and interviewed researchers like André Gagné and Frederick Clarkson on these topics. Holly and Doug bring an essential angle: they are committed Christians sounding the alarm from within the faith, grounded in biblical scholarship and philosophy. Learn more about your ad choices.

Send a textRounding out this latest installment of "Stuff That's Been On My Mind," we take a look at a topic that has been brewing over recent years.  The modern worship industry has become a multi-million dollar business, generating massive revenue streams for various churches, pastors, and artists.  But behind the curtain of this ministry, are there issues within any of these churches or with the worship itself?  Is it time for new voices to rise, is it time for a reset in who/what sets the tone for worship in many of our churches?  This podcast answers to the affirmative:  that yes worship does need a reset; a renewal of sorts.  Songs have gotten overwhelmingly me-focused, theological truth has gotten watered down, and most of our songs come from a small, but centralized group of writers and churches.  This episode invites you to enter this discussion with an open mind and leave well-informed with some action steps to take.  Articles mentioned in the episode:The Centralization Of Modern Worship Music: Why A Few Voices Dominating Worship Is A DangerOpinion: Church Music Has Become Big Business

In a time when online controversy has caused many believers to question spiritual gifts, Duncan & Kate have an honest conversation about humility, integrity, and the supernatural. In this podcast, they discuss: - Are the gifts of the Holy Spirit for today? - Why power is never the same as character - How to grow in prophecy, healing, and spiritual gifts without chasing significance - Why the answer isn't cynicism or shutdown—but Word + Spirit together - How to restore others with gentleness (Galatians 6:1) and avoid becoming the accuser

When church leadership makes headlines, the fallout is never just internal. And this time, the story is heavier than most. Sensitive content warning: This episode discusses allegations involving fraud and sexual abuse. Listener discretion is advised. In this In the Headlines episode, Nate and Dr. Joseph Tillman talk through the ongoing Bethel Church scandal involving Shawn Bolz, Kris Vallotton, and Bill Johnson. They unpack what's being alleged, why these stories are gaining traction, and how power, influence, and accountability intersect in modern church culture. This conversation isn't built on outrage or speculation. It's a careful, honest look at how scandals like this affect real people, real faith communities, and public trust in Christian leadership. The discussion centers on discernment, responsibility, and what it means to take allegations seriously without turning faith into a PR exercise. Because this is a news-based episode, clarity matters. Nate and Dr. Joseph slow things down, separate confirmed information from assumptions, and reflect on how both believers and skeptics process stories like this when they involve spiritual authority and harm. Nate and Dr. Joseph Tillman bring lived experience, dry commentary, and a refusal to look away from uncomfortable topics. In the Headlines exists to address what's already dominating conversations, without pretending these moments don't shape how people understand church, leadership, and faith itself.

The public reckoning began with Bible teacher Mike Winger's bombshell exposé with overwhelming evidence that Bethel leaders continued to promote Bolz, despite documented misconduct.

Guest Bios Show Transcript The charismatic Christian world has been rocked by revelations that alleged prophet Shawn Bolz faked prophecies and sexually harassed staff—while leaders at Bethel Church knew for years and failed to warn the public. The public reckoning began with Bible teacher Mike Winger's bombshell exposé with overwhelming evidence that Bethel leaders continued to promote Bolz, despite documented misconduct. For at least six years, pastors like Bill Johnson and Kris Vallotton rebuked Bolz privately, which publicly saying he was a godly and powerful minister.

Did Bethel Church actually repent over the Shawn Bolz scandal? In this episode of The Remnant Radio, we carefully examine the public statements and actions of Bethel Church leadership—including Bill Johnson, Kris Vallotton, and Danny Silk—to determine whether their response represents genuine biblical repentance or merely institutional damage control. From questions of prophetic accountability and false prophecy to the broader credibility of charismatic theology, this conversation aims to help believers think clearly, biblically, and sober-mindedly about what true repentance looks like in church leadership.We walk step-by-step through what Bethel leaders said, what they admitted, what they failed to address, and how their response compares to the biblical standard for repentance, confession, and restoration. We also interact with the wider conversation sparked by Mike Winger and others, exploring how prophecy abuse and leadership silence can damage trust in the church and distort the witness of the gospel. As continuationists who affirm the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit, we believe accountability is not an attack on the charismatic movement—it is essential to its integrity.Critical Questions Discussed:-Is Bethel's apology genuine or just PR spin?​-What does biblical restoration require beyond saying "I'm sorry"?​-Why did it take Mike Winger's exposé for leadership to act?​-What about Kenneth Copeland, The Passion Translation, and other concerning endorsements?​-How can churches protect victims while reconciling fallen leaders to the body of Christ?Our goal is not to tear down, but to tell the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15), to test everything and hold fast to what is good (1 Thessalonians 5:21), and to call the Church to holiness, transparency, and faithfulness to Christ. If you care about sound theology, responsible use of spiritual gifts, and protecting God's people from spiritual harm, this conversation is for you.Special thanks to the Bethel alumni who held their leaders accountable—your faithfulness in speaking truth in love catalyzed this moment of repentance. This could be a watershed moment for the charismatic movement if genuine fruit follows these words.0:00 – Introduction2:04 – Context and Prior Bethel Concerns13:23 – Bethel's Response 23:23 – Kris Vallotton's Personal Disclosure30:28 – The Jezebel Passage Misinterpretation33:34 – Bethel's New Core Values 38:10 – Bethel Issues That Remain Unaddressed49:03 – Bill Johnson's Repentance Message1:00:40 – Bill Johnson's TBN Interview Mistake1:17:43 – Danny Silk's Email 1:34:05 – Final Thoughts Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

How Mystery Babylon Infiltrates and Influences the Church | KIB 515 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description Subtitle: Mystery Babylon in the Church: How a Seductive System Keeps Believers Trapped This Kingdom Intelligence Briefing (episode #515) digs into a hard but crucial question: How has Mystery Babylon infiltrated and influenced the Church? Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake unpack how a global Babylonian system has been built around us—politically, economically, spiritually—and how it keeps people "comfortable," passive, and afraid to confront evil. Mary shares a sobering picture the Lord showed her of a Babylonian "cloud system" that pulls people back in whenever they try to step out, and a deeply personal testimony of confronting hidden darkness, trauma, and occult networks. From there, Dr. Lake lays out a powerful biblical teaching on Mystery Babylon's strategy to infiltrate and then influence the Church: Seduction instead of open confrontation Syncretism (mixing paganism with Christianity) Entertainment-based "worship" replacing reverence Prophetic performance instead of true prophetic voices Debt, media, and politics used to pressure pastors The push to blur holiness, law, and biblical authority You'll also hear about current examples, including the Sean Bolz / Bethel prophetic scandal, how fear of confrontation keeps leaders trapped, and why so many ministries will not face what's really going on. Most importantly, this episode is a call to the remnant: To face the truth about Babylon's influence To come out of religious harlotry and man-made empire To return to holiness, the fear of the Lord, biblical depth, and true spiritual warfare To embrace kingdom identity over cultural identity To be willing to suffer well, stand apart, and be "the absolute other" in a collapsing system Dr. Lake closes with a prophetic look at what's ahead in 2026–2027, the coming shaking of Babylon, and a charge to stand firm so you can hear, "Well done, My good and faithful servant." Timeline of Topics Discussed (for Chapters) (Adjust timestamps to match your final edit.) 00:00 – Biblical Life intro & opening montage Program intro: Biblical Life TV mission to empower the remnant for the last days. 02:00 – Welcome to KIB 515 & severe winter weather Dr. Michael and Mary Lou share about the heavy snow, partner prayers, and God's faithfulness. 05:00 – Mary's vision of the Babylonian "cloud system" Mary explains the picture God showed her: a spiritual Babylonian system like a cloud/vacuum that pulls people back whenever they try to move out. 10:00 – How Babylon keeps people "comfortable" and quiet A seductive spirit whispers, "Don't confront this… you can't change anything… just go along," creating apathy and passivity. 14:00 – Matthew 24, end-time deception, and false prophets Reading from Matthew 24; discussion of deception, lawlessness, and the clear signs we are in the last days. 18:00 – The Sean Bolz / Bethel prophetic scandal Mary reviews the public information: mining social media and conference registrations to fake "prophecy," Bill Johnson's apology, and the refusal to confront earlier. 23:00 – The danger of needing "a word" instead of hearing God for yourself Why the obsession with personal prophecies is dangerous, and encouragement to seek God directly. 27:00 – True prophets vs false prophetic performance Dr. Lake shares earlier experiences with real prophets, how they confront sin, and the fear of the Lord that surrounds true prophetic ministry. 32:00 – Mary's personal testimony: coming out of Babylon and trauma Mary recounts her own journey: Deep depression and blocked memories A whistleblower woman who exposed local occult and corruption Fort Leonard Wood hospital stories, missing babies, and a man who claimed to be her son The cost of facing painful truth and choosing to confront instead of deny 42:00 – The necessity of spiritual warfare and praying your own way out Mary exhorts listeners: no one can do all your praying for you; you must engage spiritual warfare and choose not to participate in Babylon. 47:00 – Dr. Lake's thesis: How Mystery Babylon infiltrates and influences the Church Mystery Babylon as a counterfeit religious, political, and economic system that works by infiltration → influence → substitution. 52:00 – Adaptability of Babylon vs. slowness of the Church Babylon's guerrilla tactics and tentacles versus a tradition-bound Church that defends man-made customs over the Word of God. 56:00 – Syncretism: blending the Bible with pagan and occult ideas How pagan practices, New Age methods, and even Masonic material have been baptized into "Christian" ministries and prophetic schools. 1:02:00 – Counterfeit revelation & prophetic manipulation Dreams, visions, and "secret knowledge" used to undermine Scripture and create dependence on personalities instead of the written Word. 1:07:00 – Entertainment-driven church vs biblical worship From temple worship to Vegas-style services; why emotional spectacle has replaced reverence, holiness, and the fear of the Lord. 1:12:00 – Doctrines Babylon wants silenced Holiness, repentance, judgment, spiritual warfare (rightly understood), the sovereignty of Christ, and separation from the world. 1:16:00 – Co-opting clergy: prestige, platforms, money & media How Babylon uses publishing, media, influence, and economics to pressure pastors to avoid controversial truth and protect "the machine." 1:21:00 – Debt structures and analytics-driven sermons Stories of massive church overhead, the temptation to preach what keeps offerings high, and the danger of corporate thinking in ministry. 1:26:00 – Political courtship and religious compromise The trap of trying to gain legitimacy through political power instead of maintaining a prophetic witness that confronts kings and systems. 1:30:00 – Higher criticism, liberal theology, and demythologizing Scripture How treating the Bible like mere literature drains the supernatural and opens the door to Babylonian thinking. 1:34:00 – Marks of Babylonian theology in the Church Universalism, lawlessness (antinomianism), Gnosticism, man-centered religion, hybrid mysticism, and moral relativism. 1:39:00 – Babylon's endgame: replacing the bride with the harlot Proverbs and Revelation's two women: the pure bride and the whore of Babylon; Babylon's goal to transform the visible church into a one-world religious system. 1:44:00 – How the remnant resists Babylon Biblical literacy and theological depth Holiness and separation Discerning of spirits rooted in the fear of the Lord Seeing the Bible as a war book from Genesis 1 Kingdom identity over cultural identity Prophetic voice over prophetic performance 1:51:00 – Suffering well, covenant faithfulness, and coming judgment Why suffering for truth is part of our calling and how God will reward faithful servants as Babylon is judged. 1:56:00 – 2026–2027: days ahead and God's remnant Dr. Lake's view that things will get "interesting" in 2026–2027 and his prayer that listeners stand firmly in the Kingdom when the dust settles. 2:00:00 – Final exhortation: "Come out of her, My people" Revelation 18:4, a call to separate from Babylon so we do not share in her plagues, and a closing prayer for the remnant to be established in the Kingdom.

God has a plan to transform the world, and He wants to do it through His people—we must fan the flame of our hearts. In this message, Bill Johnson shares a mandate God has placed on his heart for the state of California and the world. Throughout history, the power of the Gospel has been revealed through movements that carried lasting, generational impact. As we pursue God and partner with Him to bring the Gospel to the nations, we are called to fan the flame of our hearts in unity and obedience. What is the invitation for believers today, and what's at stake if we fail to steward what God is asking of us? Take this moment to listen for what God is speaking to you personally and to pray into what He is doing in this season. , , , , , , ,

How can your history with God influence how clearly you see His Kingdom at work around you? In this impactful Healing Is Here session, Bill Johnson explores what it means to think from God's perspective and intentionally remember the testimonies of Christ in your own life. Discover how living from a place of testimony sharpens your ability to hear God's voice and positions you to see the Kingdom of God at work in your life today. If you're ready to experience the benefits of God's Kingdom more clearly and more consistently—then this message is for you!

What does living for Christ in every season look like? As believers, we're called to live fully surrendered to Jesus—not just in moments of inspiration, but through every season of life. In this message, Bill Johnson invites us into a deeper understanding of consistency, maturity, and wholehearted devotion to Christ. Drawing from the life of King Hezekiah, we see how God shapes leaders, disciplines those He loves, and builds internal strength so that His blessings don't become too great for us to carry. As favor increases, so does responsibility—and true promotion is always meant to bless the people around us.This sermon speaks to the refining mercy of God, the call to remain tender and childlike, and the importance of maintaining our first love through seasons of pruning, testing, and growth. It's a reminder that faith isn't sustained by inspiration alone, but by lordship—by choosing obedience, worship, and trust even when emotions fade. Our prayer is that you say, "yes," to the invitation to live aware of what you're truly living for as you devote your life to Jesus.

PROJECT AUDION 76: The Bob Hope Pepsodent Show Bob Hope was one of the 20th century's greatest and most famous entertainers: in vaudeville and movies, and especially his radio (and later TV) comedies, so often performed in front of appreciative US servicemen, kept America smiling for better than six decades. He became an icon of American humor, and it is a special challenge indeed to bring the Hope style back to life. But now Project Audion premieres a "new" 1940s-era Bob Hope radio show -- thanks to the pen of former Hope writer Robert L. Mills, the vocal wizardry of Bill Johnson, and Project Audion's versatile voice actors. In this new Christmas creation, Bob's guest star is Lana Turner, who joins him to spoof the classic movie "Double Indemnity."

In this episode I discuss how the Holy Spirit is like a Dove. I also cite Bill Johnson's (Bethel Church) sermon “Protecting the Dove.”

When we pursue breakthrough as people of faith, we must consider the importance of prayer. In this message, Bill Johnson invites us to return to the place where breakthrough begins. Jesus taught us that captivity is never our normal, and a life without divine intervention, answers, or transformation is far from His will. Prayer positions us to recognize God's solutions—often while they're still in seed form—and to partner with what He's releasing on the earth. We were created to co-labor with God, to carry His heart, and to steward the areas He's entrusted to us. How are we stewarding that? What are we waiting for God to do that the Cross has already done? Is there a more effective way to pray and partner with God? Join us as we return to the original model of prayer and co-laboring with God!

If you're navigating pain or uncertainty, this message will encourage and strengthen you! For more resources and to view our upcoming conferences and events: www.charisbiblecollege.org.

The original assignment given to the disciples by Jesus is to be the standard we live our lives from. We feel that God is inviting us to remember the fundamentals of the Great Commission. In this message, Bill Johnson calls us back to the original assignment Jesus entrusted to His disciples—a commission meant to be carried through every generation, not diluted by time or compromised by culture. Authority was never lost in God's kingdom, and it's our duty to align our awareness and lives with that truth. How does living from this truth impact the level of authority we walk in? How is righteousness and justice expressed from that place? What do we begin to value and what motivates us when we're aligned with the reality of God's authority? This sermon invites us into a renewed vision of collaborative partnership with God, where prayer moves mountains, lies lose their power, and the Holy Spirit is no longer a background presence but the primary Person of our lives. We bless you as you listen along with us!

Have you ever wondered about the divine design of the angelic? Everything God creates carries purpose and intention—angels are no different. In this message, Bill Johnson shares about instances where God's plans, purposes, and ways involve the angelic realm. While our worship and devotion belong to Jesus alone, Scripture reveals that angels play a vital role in the unfolding of His kingdom on earth. What purposes do angels serve in God's design? How do we, as followers of Jesus, partner with Heaven's strategies while keeping our hearts anchored in Him? Join us as we uncover mysteries of the spirit realm and learn how to align with God's divine order, partnering with His presence to see Heaven released on earth.

This week on The Atrium Podcast, we kick things off by celebrating Edwin's 22nd birthday and reminiscing on what we were doing at 22. From there, Chad recaps the Sunday sermon as he closed the Sermon on the Mount. We also dive into a reaction to a clip of Bill Johnson teaching that God is in charge but not in control of all things. We put a bow tie on the episode by answering a listener question on if it's biblical to judge ourselves. Don't forget to share and tell your friends about another sensational episode of The Atrium Podcast!

There's a kind of faith that performs instead of worships, and eventually, that kind of faith breaks down. This week on Win Today, Paul and Hannah McClure from Bethel Music join me to talk about the slow drift from softness to cynicism in the life of a believer. We talk about the orphan spirit, fake faith that looks right but can't hold weight, and how disappointment left untreated eventually hardens into disconnection. We also confront the myth that faith equals certainty, and why true worship isn't just a song; it's surrender in the absence of clarity. For anyone who's battled disillusionment in church, questioned the language of worship, or wondered whether they're singing words they don't believe anymore, this conversation offers both confrontation and comfort. Paul and Hannah don't sugarcoat the road. But they do point to healing. This isn't about emotional hype. It's about reclaiming your heart before it turns cold. You'll learn: Why disappointment often precedes cynicism What the orphan spirit really is—and how it forms How fake faith is often learned, not chosen Why worship without surrender is just noise How to walk with God when certainty disappears Guest Bio Paul and Hannah McClure are worship leaders, songwriters, and pastors with Bethel Music. Known for their vulnerability, depth, and refusal to perform, their ministry helps people reconnect with a God who isn't afraid of pain. They've led a generation to encounter God through honesty, not hype. Their story is one of surrender, resilience, and the long journey back from burnout, cynicism, and emotional numbness.

Bill Johnson serves as the Senior Leader of Bethel Church in Redding, California. Known globally for his teaching on revival, faith, and the Kingdom of God, Bill's ministry has been marked by a consistent focus on gratitude, generosity, and living a life shaped by God's presence. Through decades of leadership, he has taught that generosity is more than financial giving—it's a lifestyle of humility, kindness, and service that reflects God's design for humanity. In this episode, Brad sits down with Bill to talk about gratitude, generosity, and why the two are inseparably linked. Bill shares stories from his own journey and ministry, including how generosity builds cultures, changes atmospheres, and even serves as a “weapon” against division and despair. He also unpacks why generosity is evidence of repentance, how repeated acts form culture, and why we are never more like Christ than when we are generous. Along the way, Bill offers practical wisdom on cultivating a grateful heart, modeling generosity across generations, and trusting God even in seasons of delay. “To live without thankfulness is the most self-centered way to live.” – Bill Johnson “If you're actually giving, you're not trying to get a response. If you're trying to get a response, you're buying—you're not giving.” – Bill Johnson “You're no more like Jesus than when you're generous.” – Bill Johnson This Week on The Wow Factor: Gratitude as the foundation for humility, mental health, and healthy relationships Why generosity is more than money—it's a posture of life and service The story of “Generous Students” and teaching gratitude with no carry-forwards Why repeated acts of giving form a true culture of generosity The three kinds of givers: no giver, grumpy giver, cheerful giver How small, intentional acts—like tipping hotel staff or thanking baristas—shift atmospheres Why generosity is evidence of repentance and a renewed mind How encouraging words can be one of the most powerful forms of giving Modeling generosity across generations and why Bill gives gifts on his own birthday The importance of living in trust when God's answers are delayed Serving communities quietly: Bethel's behind-the-scenes generosity toward their city Why generosity must move from an action to a lifestyle that can't be switched off Bill Johnson's Word of Wisdom: Faith is spelled R-I-S-K. Start somewhere, even if it's small. Sacrifice means going one step beyond comfort, and that's where growth begins. Yesterday's sacrifice is today's convenience—so keep pressing into new steps of generosity.

In this episode the host Jeff walks listeners through a critical examination of the upcoming Communion for America event planned on the National Mall (October 8–11). Using clips from the event organizers' promotional video and commentary from watchdogs like Magical Mystery Church, Jeff explains why he believes the movement is not simply a nationwide Christian revival but a syncretic, Gnostic-influenced operation with dangerous theological and spiritual implications. He covers the event's leaders and influencers (Lou Engle, David Bradshaw, Bill Johnson and others), the movement's ties to the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), and why its language about "hosting the presence of God," "ripping the veil," and a "better blood message" raises serious concerns. The episode analyzes promotional claims (visions of a banqueting table down the Mall, testimonies of miraculous healings, calls for daily communion and 40–120 day fasting packages), and highlights how programming techniques, hypnotic worship music, and emotional storytelling can prime attendees for powerful spiritual experiences. Jeff contrasts biblical teaching about communion, repentance, and the Holy Spirit with the NAR's emphasis on fresh revelations, apostolic hierarchies, and manifest sons theology. He also outlines historical roots (Kabbalah, British-Israelism, William Branham and latter-rain theology), the Seven Mountain mandate and the convergence of political, religious and occult influences that the host fears could culminate in manipulation or worse. Key moments include detailed breakdowns of the organizers' video, warnings about ecumenical alliances (including Catholic participation), critique of fundraising and crowd-management tactics, and a discussion of how charismatic language—"invoke," "better blood," "loosing the blood"—can be used coercively. The episode closes by urging discernment: not to stoke fear of God, but to call out problematic doctrine and protect the vulnerable. Jeff encourages listeners to research the groups and leaders involved, to prioritize repentance and sound Scripture, and to avoid events if they see coercive or deceitful patterns. The description includes references to sources and YouTube analyses used in the episode (Magical Mystery Church and historical overviews), and notes the host's hope that listeners will engage their communities with biblical truth rather than manipulative movements.

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com    I want to get back to a couple of things I shared in my last podcast in regards to making extra money… and then we will shift gears.    List a 100 things… in any area, but especially money. I have a list on my phone of ways to make extra money… when I think of an idea I write it down. I can't act on all of them, but I keep a list for future options.  Smaller is better - big gym, small gym     Secondly I believe what Bill Johnson says “Lack does not illustrate humility. Blessing and riches managed according to Gods grace illustrate humility.”    Is it easier to sin if you are poor or if you are rich… I know people in both situations.. its the same. I have been in both situations - the struggles are the same. Dependence on God has nothing to do with how much you have or don't have.    Someone asked me do you think God wants you rich?  Does God want you rich? Does God want you to have a great sex life?
