The letters to the seven churches in Revelation 2-3 are possibly some of the best known parts of the apocalypic book, mainly due to their accessibility compared to the rest of it.

And why all the Old Testament references?Join Alex, Chris & Jo as they discuss these significant chapters, give some good background information that help make sense of what John is writing, and then talk aboput how we might be able to bring some meaning to us today.

In this podcast episode, Tony discusses the challenging process of leaving behind false doctrines and ingrained religious beliefs, likening it to the Israelites' exodus from Egypt. Brewer emphasizes that, just as the Israelites had to learn to depend on God in the wilderness, modern believers must discard false teachings and cultural norms to truly embrace the truth of God's word. The episode also features interactions with listeners and emphasizes the importance of trusting in God during the transition away from comfort and familiarity towards spiritual freedom.   00:00 Introduction and Greetings 00:00 Introduction and Greetings 00:30 Today's Topic: Leaving Egypt 00:30 Today's Topic: Leaving Egypt 00:37 Personal Updates and Community Interaction 00:37 Personal Updates and Community Interaction 01:41 The Struggle of Leaving False Doctrine 01:41 The Struggle of Leaving False Doctrine 02:43 The Wilderness Journey and Its Challenges 02:43 The Wilderness Journey and Its Challenges 04:53 Confronting Long-Held Assumptions 04:53 Confronting Long-Held Assumptions 07:11 The Mental Strongholds of False Doctrine 07:11 The Mental Strongholds of False Doctrine 09:27 The War Between Flesh and Spirit 09:27 The War Between Flesh and Spirit 11:45 Final Thoughts and Encouragement 11:45 Final Thoughts and Encouragement 15:00 Community Engagement and Closing Remarks 15:00 Community Engagement and Closing Remarks

In this episode, Becket Cook sits down with the insightful Melissa Dougherty to discuss her new book, Happy Lies: How a Movement You Probably Never Heard of Shaped Our Self-Obsessed World. We dive deep into New Thought, its history, and how it has shaped modern self-help, the Word of Faith movement, and even progressive Christianity. Melissa exposes how these ideas—often disguised as biblical—have infiltrated churches, personal development culture, and even our everyday affirmations.

We live in an era dominated by subjective morality and individualized spirituality. How do we provide biblical, God-honoring responses? Stephanie sits down with Christian apologist and popular YouTuber Melissa Dougherty, who utilizes theological insights alongside her deeply personal experiences to dismantle the seductive façade of the New Thought movement. She describes this philosophy as “a stealthy message of encouragement to live your truth, seek happiness, find your identity through sexual freedom, and think your desires into existence. Often with the name of Jesus attached as an endorsement.” GIWEAWAY COMING UP! In our February newsletter, we will give away THREE copies of "Happy Lies" in partnership with Melissa and her publisher, Zondervan. We will also give 3 copies of our next January book interview (airing January 28, episode 376). So make sure to be signed up to our newsletter for a chance to win. Sign up here: https://www.gospelspice.com/signup In her groundbreaking debut, Happy Lies: How a Movement You (Probably) Never Heard Of Shaped Our Self-Obsessed World, Melissa Dougherty, an ex-New Thought follower herself, deconstructs the myths propagated by secular self-empowerment and affirmation movements. She explains how New Thought concepts like toxic affirmation and the “Law of Attraction” intersect with the prosperity gospel. She highlights how New Thought influences are subtly embedded in progressive Christianity and the gender identity crisis, and even how this movement is foundational to the weakened theology used in “Seeker-friendly” churches. Dougherty urges her audience to reflect deeply on these beliefs, encouraging them to discern contemporary culture's pervasive lies and to seek a more authentic understanding of the gospel. With clarity and a touch of compassionate snark, Melissa examines New Thought's appealing yet distorted spirituality. She warns of its pervasive impact on modern theology, emphasizing how the movement's focus on self-authority and personal experience often overshadows the biblical narrative. New Thought ideology subtly infiltrates contemporary Christian thought, presenting a false gospel that masquerades as a more open-minded, tolerant, and loving interpretation of Jesus and the Bible. Melissa recounts her epiphany during a hiatus from seminary, where her extensive readings unveiled a distinction between "New Thought" and "New Age." Despite their overlaps, these movements stand alone in intent and belief structures. Her desire to educate and spark dialogue about New Thought arose from the absence of evangelical discourse on the topic, with only a handful of scholars like Craig Hazen touching on it. Determined to spotlight this under-discussed issue, she writes a book laden with historical contexts, practical definitions, and a respectful yet critical analysis of New Thought within a Christian framework. Melissa describes New Thought as a metaphysical reinterpretation of Christianity, where the Scriptures are sometimes twisted into allegorical tales akin to self-help doctrines. Melissa coined the term "metamistagorical," combining metaphysical, mystical, and allegorical elements, to describe New Thought. She reflects on how figures like Oprah Winfrey and Joel Osteen intermingle Christian identification with mystical attributes to create a semblance of spiritual alignment. Melissa stresses that while New Thought is frequently confused with New Age philosophies, it poses a unique threat to believers: “New Thought ideas will deceive Christians before New Age ideas ever will. […] You've probably adopted some of its teachings, and you don't even realize it.” Unlike New Age's openly mystical practices, New Thought often acts as a metaphysical Christianity, making its influence sneakier and more deceptive. Dougherty concludes with a heartfelt prayer for her readers: “I hope you can't unsee [New Thought]. I hope it stirs something within you, something refusing to be ignored. Now, go tell others. Tell them the Joyful Truth so they don't fall for Happy Lies. ” In Happy Lies, highly regarded Christian apologist and ex-New Ager Melissa Dougherty . . . Tackles the frustrations surrounding the rise of pop spirituality and “self-actualization,” even within Christianity Exposes the deceptions of New Thought—a movement centered on positive thinking, mental healing, self-worship, and spiritual empowerment Counters subjective, “me”-focused platitudes with objective truths that dispel spiritual confusion and bring peace to anxious minds Provides practical methods to uproot the subtle, mystical, and insidious spiritual beliefs that dilute the core message of Christianity Clarifies how to recognize the misleading spiritual practices infiltrating modern Christianity and reject them to embrace the beauty of an authentic Christian life MORE ABOUT “HAPPY LIES” In this groundbreaking book, popular apologist Melissa Dougherty helps us understand how our society got to be so toxically subjective, why endless positivity is inherently destructive, and how we can live with faithful truth and genuine love in these self-obsessed times. Have you ever wondered how we ended up in a world where personal feelings could become the authority for reality? Or why so many of us are on a relentless pursuit for happiness yet somehow feel more exhausted and sadder than ever? You're not alone. Melissa deftly traces the roots of today's social chaos back to a little-known (but very influential) 1800s philosophy known as New Thought. A former follower of its teachings, Melissa provides clarity and compassion mixed with a dash of loving snark as she exposes New Thought's deceptions and its many concerning tendrils within the church and our "self-help" culture. You'll be shocked, grieved, and encouraged as you learn: How you can experience true freedom, hope, and peace instead of the world's counterfeits How an anti-God ideology so easily hijacked Christian-sounding ideas Why thinking positively is entirely different from the unbiblical and burdensome "positive thought" movement Why fake "authenticity" short-circuits real redemption How understanding the New Thought mindset can help us share our faith more effectively Uncover a dangerous ideology that nearly everyone has met, yet few of us can name, in order to better understand our culture and joyfully live faithful to the gospel that is so much better than our world's Happy Lies.

This is message 7 in the In Service of The House of The Lord series 2 Chronicles 11:13-17 In a time of widespread false worship, the Levites stood firm in their convictions, leaving behind their homes and possessions to worship the Lord in truth. Their dedication to seeking God not only strengthened the kingdom of Judah with their presence and knowledge but also inspired others, including King Rehoboam, to walk in the ways of the Lord, at least for a season. This example shows the power of unwavering commitment to God, even when it requires difficult sacrifices.

Would that you were either cold or hot! 16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. 17 For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see. 19 Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. 21 The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.' ” I.

As Paul opens up this letter to his young protege, he immediately jumps to the topic of doctrine, specifically false doctrine. He outlines false teachings that were prevalent in the Ephesus church and pointed out what true doctrine was and how to adhere to it.

This is message 1 in the 2 Corinthians 2 Corithians 1:1-12 Paul highlights God's comfort in our darkest times, which helps us encourage others to trust in HIm. Despite severe trials, including persecution and illness, Paul recieved uplifting news from Titus about the Corinthian church's positive respitive response to his first letter. This led him to write 2 Corinthians, defending his ministry. He emphasizes that God, the Father of Mercies, provides abundant comfort through Jesus Christ, enabling believers to share this comfort with others. Paul's sufferings have allowed him to offer solace and salvation to many, demonstrating how sharing in Christ's suffering deepens one's capacity to share His comfort.

This is message 12 in The Seven Churches of Revelation. Revelation 2:18-29 The letter to Thyatira criticizes the church's emphasis on works rather than true worship, highlighting Christ's omniscient and judgmental nature through his fiery eyes and bronze feet. Unlike Pergamos, which tolerated false doctrines, Thyatira was actively teaching them, led by a 'Jezebel' figure promoting idolatry. Despite extended opportunities for repentance, persistent disobedience would lead to severe consequences. However, for those who remained faithful and rejected these teachings, God promised future rewards, underscoring that fidelity to Christ is the ultimate reward.

This is message 13 in The Seven Churches of Revelation. Revelation 2:18-19 Thyatira, located southeast of Pergamos, was known for its military presence and commerce, particularly in purple dye. It was steeped in pagan worship, notably of the sun god Tyrimnas, depicted as a warrior. Contrasting with this, Jesus presents Himself with flaming eyes and feet of bronze, symbolizing divine authority and judgment. While Pergamos tolerated false teachings, Thyatira actively propagated them, leading its followers into spiritual adultery by prioritizing personal gains over genuine devotion to Christ.

This is message 11 in The Seven Churches of Revelation. Revelation 2:12-17 The church of Pergamos represents the period from A.D. 300-500, characterized by the church's union with the secular world. This era began with intense persecution but shifted when Constantine's conversion and the Edict of Milan ended it, leading to the lending of pagan practices with Christianity. The Council of Nicaea in A.D. 325, overseen by Constantine, marked the church's surrender of independence to thes state. Figures Augustine influenced doctrine, laying groundwork for the Roman Catholic Church. The doctrines of Balaam and the Nicolaitan led to spiritual compromise and a clergy-laity divide, weaking the church's spiritual power despite it societal acceptance.

In this thought-provoking podcast episode, Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar invite listeners to challenge their understanding of the Word of Faith Movement, a belief system that has had a profound impact on numerous people across the globe. They are joined by Justin Peters, a man who has personally experienced the effects of this movement's teachings on faith healing, to peel back the layers of this controversial belief system.  One of the audacious teachings of the Word of Faith Movement is the assertion that we are little gods, on par with God, the Father, and Jesus Christ. This belief challenges the core tenets of Christianity and diminishes the divine and unique nature of God and Jesus. The movement also heavily focuses on the idea of having enough faith and sowing enough 'seed' (money) to reap a harvest. This manipulative practice places an undue burden on believers, exploiting their faith for financial gain.  The discussion also delves into the controversial practices of notable faith healers like Todd White, Benny Hinn, and Kenneth Copeland. These faith healers' methods starkly contrast with the healing practices documented in the New Testament, often leading to harmful consequences for their followers.  The guys get to the heart of the matter as they take on the topic of false doctrine and its cunning disguise within the Word of Faith Movement. False doctrine is a dangerous aspect of this movement, often leading people astray from the truth of the gospel. Listeners are urged to engage with Scripture to challenge false beliefs and maintain a compassionate heart towards those deceived by this movement.  Finally, the guys confront the uncomfortable topic of death, a subject the Word of Faith Movement often sidesteps. The evasion of this inevitable aspect of life further showcases the deception inherent in their teachings. Despite the uncomfortable nature of this subject, addressing it is crucial for a holistic understanding of life, faith, and God's plan.  This podcast episode serves as a wake-up call to the dangers of the Word of Faith Movement. It encourages listeners to seek the truth, challenge deceptive teachings, and engage in meaningful dialogue about faith. With a compassionate heart and a desire for truth, we can help those ensnared by this movement find their way back to the genuine teachings of the gospel.This episode was recorded at G3 2023 National Conference.Thanks for listening!
