Galatians
Paul lives a quiet, tightly controlled life, dividing his time between the gym and his local pub. A former boxer, he keeps his distance from the world. Then he meets Duncan. Charismatic, reckless and impossible to ignore, Duncan draws Paul into an unlikely friendship that begins to change everything.As their bond deepens, Paul finds himself pulled towards excitement, risk and a sense of belonging he thought he'd lost. But beneath the humour and warmth of their connection lies a growing unease, as trust is tested and lines begin to blur. Told through shifting perspectives, Like A Brother is a tense psychological crime drama about friendship, loyalty and the danger of letting the wrong person too close.Paul .....

Kingdom Culture - Charismatic by Glasgow Grace
www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcastIn 1993, on a patch of quiet Texas land outside Waco, a man who called himself the final prophet of God was preparing for the end of the world.Before the fire. Before the tanks. Before the siege became a symbol.David Koresh — born Vernon Wayne Howell — rose from obscurity to lead a small apocalyptic sect known as the Branch Davidians. Charismatic, intense, and obsessed with the Book of Revelation, Koresh convinced his followers that he alone could unlock the Seven Seals and usher in the final days. Inside the Mount Carmel compound, he claimed divine authority — not just spiritually, but personally.He took “spiritual wives.” Married couples were separated. Teenage girls were reassigned to him under the belief they were helping fulfill prophecy. Former members would later allege sexual relationships with underage girls, all justified through scripture. Parents inside the group believed they were obeying God.Meanwhile, federal agents were watching.An ATF investigation into alleged illegal weapons modifications was building. An undercover agent infiltrated the compound. A newspaper exposé titled “The Sinful Messiah” hit the stands. And on February 28, 1993, 76 federal agents rolled toward Mount Carmel in cattle trailers, expecting to serve a warrant.Within minutes, gunfire erupted.Four ATF agents would be dead. Six Davidians would die that morning. And what was meant to be a single-day operation would spiral into something far larger.In Part One, we lay the groundwork — the rise of Koresh, the psychology inside the compound, the warnings that were ignored, and the raid that changed everything.The siege has only just begun.

Charismatic leaders can inspire devotion and give people a powerful sense of meaning. They can also make us vulnerable. This week, we explore how figures across history have gained followers by offering clarity in moments of uncertainty — and why that clarity can come at a cost. Historian Molly Worthen explains how to recognize the spell of charisma, and why questioning it is essential to a healthy society. Then, on Your Questions Answered, Antonio Pascual-Leone returns to respond to listeners' thoughts and questions about moving on after a breakup. Do you have personal stories about being drawn in by a charismatic leader? A question about how we can be swept up in the spell of a mesmerizing person?

Rev. Doug Floyd Lent 2 2026Rev. Doug FloydGenesis 12:1-9, Psalm 33:12-22, Romans 5:1-7, John 1:3-16 Nicodemus is puzzled. Jesus just told him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”” (John 3:3, ESV) How can a man be born again when he is old? Jesus is speaking mysteries in the dark. Nicodemus…

In this episode, join host Ben Tepper and guest George Banks as they explore the science behind charismatic leadership, emphasizing how effective leaders inspire and mobilize others through practice and evidence-based techniques. He also discusses how emerging tools like artificial intelligence and virtual reality are transforming the way leadership skills are taught and developed.
John Collins and John McKinnon examine how religious authority can quietly shift from Christ and Scripture to a living leader, creating patterns of dependency that repeat across charismatic and restorationist movements. Using historical examples, they explore how leaders construct public personas, cultivate spiritual indispensability, and position themselves as the necessary interpreter of truth, safety, and God's will. The discussion traces how these structures form, why they persist even after leaders die, and how they reshape identity, belief, and community life. By focusing on repeatable frameworks rather than personalities, the conversation highlights how control, pride, and misplaced authority distort faith and leave lasting psychological and spiritual damage, while pointing toward healthier models rooted in Scripture rather than personalities. ______________________ Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR: Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962 Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K ______________________ - Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham - Visit the website: https://william-branham.org

THE BATTLE YOU DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE FIGHTING IS HAPPENING INSIDE THE CHURCH. After more than two decades in ministry, Dr. Delisa Rodgers has watched too many sincere believers struggle under an invisible weight—exhausted from trying to measure up, confused by mixed messages, and trapped in cycles of control that masquerade as care. If you've ever felt: • Constant pressure to perform spiritually • Fear of displeasing leadership • Walking on eggshells in your church • More condemned than loved • Like following Jesus feels more like prison than freedom You're not alone. And you're not crazy. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Rodgers exposes a form of spiritual warfare most people don't want to acknowledge: Charismatic witchcraft—the manipulation, control, and domination that operates through the unchecked flesh of believers. Not the kind with pentagrams and spells, but something far more subtle and, in many ways, more dangerous. Drawing from Scripture and decades of ministry experience, she reveals: • How rebellion and stubbornness function as witchcraft in the church (1 Samuel 15:23) • The biblical definition of witchcraft as a "work of the flesh" (Galatians 5:19-21) • Red flags of controlling leadership you can't afford to ignore • How your tongue can become a weapon of manipulation—or a tool for freedom • Practical strategies for crucifying your flesh and walking in the Spirit • How to break free from religious legalism that masquerades as holiness • The power of repentance and spiritual authority in maintaining freedom This isn't about starting witch hunts or becoming suspicious of everyone. It's about: ✓ Having eyes to see what's really happening ✓ Recognizing when control is dressed up in spiritual language ✓ Breaking free from bondage—including the kind you might be perpetrating ✓ Walking in the glorious liberty Jesus died to give you With her signature blend of theological depth, prophetic insight, and pastoral warmth, Dr. Rodgers combines Hebrew and Greek word studies with real-world application. She doesn't just expose the problem—she provides the pathway to freedom. Whether you're: • A believer who's been spiritually abused • A leader who wants to avoid controlling tendencies • Someone seeking to help others break free • Simply hungry for authentic spiritual freedom This book will give you the tools, language, and biblical framework to recognize spiritual manipulation and walk in the liberty that is your inheritance. The Church is in crisis. But it's not the crisis you think. It's time to pull back the veil. It's time to expose what's been operating in darkness. It's time to walk into the light together. Because where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is LIBERTY. https://tinyurl.com/SoulsUnderSiege "Dr. Rodgers doesn't pull punches. She speaks truth with love, combines deep biblical scholarship with practical wisdom, and gives you a roadmap to the freedom Jesus purchased for you. This book will change lives." PERFECT FOR: • Believers recovering from spiritual abuse • Church leaders committed to healthy, biblical leadership • Intercessors and prophetic ministers • Small groups and Bible study classes • Anyone seeking freedom from religious bondage • Counselors and ministry leaders

Guest Bios Show Transcript Podcaster Mike Winger built his YouTube channel to nearly one million subscribers through careful, in-depth Bible teaching. But over the past year, he's turned his focus to exposing what he calls a “cover-up culture” within segments of the Charismatic movement. Through lengthy, well-documented investigations, Mike has examined the ministries of leaders such as Bethel Church's Kris Vallotton and Bill Johnson, detailing how concerns about self-proclaimed prophets like Shawn Bolz were allegedly ignored or minimized for years.

In light of current events, Mark and I process though what is happening in our western Charismatic church culture right now. We tie in our previous conversations about the Pulpit, gathering, discipleship and ministry to show the correlation of how we could have gotten here. Although we have no concrete solutions, we hope that this conversation, like all of them causes you to think, ask questions, and consider how you can create authentic biblical community.

It's happened again. Another major ministry in the Charismatic world admits to hiding a false prophet who was also sexually abusive—for six years! Why does this keep happening? Sadly, many who claim to follow Christ can't tell the difference between someone filled with the life of the Spirit and those who only pretend to be for notoriety and influence. In the last few weeks, horrible revelations have come out of Bethel in Redding, and Wayne and Kyle wrestle with the questions that yet another scandal provokes. Until hearts turn to care for the victims of abuse and act to protect them, we will continue to see false leaders who would rather cover up abuse rather than warn the sheep when a wolf is among them. Podcast Notes: The video version of this podcast Jesus Lens: The Elliptical Playground Wayne's Blog on the Bethel Scandal The Roys Report on the Bethel Scandal Just Love, referred to in this podcast, is a book Wayne is writing with Tobie van der Westhuizen from South Africa. We hope to have it available later this month. The post Yet Another Tragedy (#1022) first appeared on The God Journey.

Have you ever walked into a room or given a presentation and immediately felt awkward? Or maybe you struggle with confidence or imposter syndrome at live gatherings or even on Zoom meetings? If so, this episode is for you. As you'll hear from today's guest, confidence isn't the absence of awkwardness—it's feeling it, acknowledging it, and showing up anyway. And she has the tools to help you do just that. Vanessa Van Edwards is a behavioral researcher, the founder of Science of People, and the best-selling author of Cues and Captivate. Her 'You Are Contagious' Ted Talk is phenomenal and has over 6 million views for good reason. Vanessa has spent her career studying the hidden cues and social signals that shape how people perceive us, and how we can take control of those signals to build trust faster and connect more deeply. In our conversation, Vanessa breaks down charisma into a simple, learnable framework: warmth + competence. We talk about the four ways we "signal" others with verbal and physical cues, why most people don't signal strongly enough, and how that can actually make you seem colder, less confident, or harder to connect with—even when you have great intentions. You'll also learn how to ask better questions to initiate conversations, how to nail the first 10 seconds of any interaction, and a few practical ways to show up with more presence and confidence. Trust me, this episode is a must-listen for anyone.

The Serpent's Foundation in the Church | KIB 517 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing In Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Episode 517, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake expose a sobering reality: many believers are trying to build spiritual life on compromised foundations, and when the foundation is defiled, the fruit will be defiled—especially in the prophetic and charismatic streams. Mary Lou shares what the Lord impressed on her this week about false havens Babylon offers—systems, groups, and "comfort structures" that create a counterfeit sense of security and dependency. She also shares a striking spiritual picture: a massive serpent beneath the charismatic church, contaminating the foundation and helping explain the confusion, deception, and counterfeit manifestations so many are encountering. Dr. Lake then takes us into Scripture to show how the enemy targets foundations through "night arrows" (Psalm 11), how infiltration has worked throughout biblical history, and why the answer is not more spectacle—but a return to Christ as the Cornerstone, with the apostles and prophets (biblically defined) as the foundation. This episode also includes an encouraging reminder: God has done undeniable miracles before—and will again—but the authentic move of the Holy Spirit will always exalt Jesus, align with the written Word, and produce Christlike character. ✅ In this briefing you'll learn: Why Babylon creates false havens to replace dependence on God How spiritual deception targets the foundation beneath movements The biblical pattern of infiltration from Sinai to the early church Why the Holy Spirit is not flashy and never contradicts Scripture How to discern counterfeit manifestations and return to truth Why the remnant must rebuild on Christ and Him crucified

https://newsongpeople.com/messages/the-call-and-the-costPrayer was central to the life of Jesus. He prayed at the most ordinary moments, and at the most critical ones. He prayed with Scripture, He prayed alone, He prayed with friends, He prayed for His enemies, and He surrendered Himself to the will of the Father in prayer.In this series, we're going to look at the prayer life of Jesus. We'll listen as He teaches us how to pray, and we'll follow His example in the way He prayed.As we pray like Jesus, we'll grow in our relationship with the Father, our dependence on the Spirit, and our alignment with His mission.

Harvard-trained psychologist and resilience expert Dr. Robert Brooks has spent decades watching what helps kids thrive and also what breaks them down. In this conversation with Ginny Yurich, he flips the script from “what's wrong” to what's strong: how to spot and honor your child's islands of competence, why resilience is rooted in at least one steady adult a child can “gather strength” from, and how empathy changes everything from discipline to screen habits to the way we speak when kids melt down. You'll walk away with language you can use today, a fresh way to think about technology and AI without panic, and a deeper reminder that children don't need perfect parents but they do need present ones who help them feel valued, capable, and truly known.
