Podcasts about New Apostolic Reformation

Guest Bios Show Transcript In the wake of current exposés of supposed “prophets” — Shawn Bolz, Chris Reed, Todd White and others — many are rethinking the movement they come from. And they're questioning the teaching of churches, like Bethel, which platformed and covered for these “prophets,” rather than exposing them as frauds. Known as the New Apostolic Reformation — or NAR — this movement centers on the five-fold ministry outlined in Ephesians 4.

John and Jenny unpack how racialized theology, Christian supremacy, and political extremism shaped everything from William Branham’s world to Youth With A Mission’s global footprint. Drawing on archival research and lived experience, they trace the line from British Israelism and Christian Identity theology through Bob Jones University, moral-majority politics, and Branham’s mentors into modern charismatic and New Apostolic Reformation networks. Along the way, they explore how “spiritual warfare,” end-times urgency, and talk of being the “true seed” of Abraham quietly merge race, nation, and faith into a single identity.______________________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

John Collins and John McKinnon examine how William Branham's teaching on adoption, authority, and "reading between the lines" laid conceptual groundwork later echoed in the New Apostolic Reformation. By tracing Branham's reinterpretation of Scripture, Roman adoption customs, and claims of hidden revelation, they show how extra-biblical theology quietly reappears today under new language such as fresh revelation, spiritual downloads, and apostolic authority. The discussion contrasts Paul's clear teaching on adoption as a finished act in Christ with Branham's two-stage model that promotes elite believers, future authority, and spiritual hierarchy. The episode also addresses the psychological and spiritual harm this framework causes, especially for survivors of high-control movements, and explains why these ideas continue to resurface in modern charismatic and apostolic streams. ______________________Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K______________________- Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham- Subscribe to the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBSpezVG15TVG-lOYMRXuyQ- Visit the website: https://william-branham.org- Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WilliamBranhamOrg - Follow on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@william.m.branham- Follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/wmbhr- Buy the books: https://william-branham.org/site/books

He traces the movement's theological roots, its connection to the New Apostolic Reformation, and its modern expression through figures like Charlie Kirk and organizations such as Turning Point USA.The conversation explores how Christian nationalism differs from traditional religious influence, how eschatology shapes political urgency, and why the movement represents a shift from persuasion to power. Will and Josh also wrestle with the implications for democracy, religious freedom, and marginalized communities, while asking what responsible Christian leadership looks like in an era of rising populism and polarization.Buy the book: The Seven Mountains Mandate: https://bookshop.org/a/112456/9780664269210Guest BioDr. Matthew Boedy is a professor of rhetoric and composition at the University of North Georgia and a scholar of religion, politics, and extremism in American culture.

John and Charles examine a newly surfaced transcript involving Paul Cain and Chuck Smith that exposes how leadership power functioned behind the scenes of the charismatic movement. The discussion traces how the same figures moved from Foursquare to Calvary Chapel, Vineyard, and ultimately the New Apostolic Reformation, carrying the same control structures with them. The conversation explores how recordings, private confessions, and reputation management became tools for enforcing silence, shaping narratives, and protecting movements at critical moments. By following the historical trail from the 1950s healing revival through the 1980s and beyond, the episode reveals how spiritual authority often operated less through doctrine and more through leverage. ______________________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

John examines why Freemasonry alone cannot explain the theological problems inside modern charismatic and New Apostolic Reformation movements. Tracing the issue back to ancient Gnosticism, he explains how secret knowledge, spiritual elitism, and hidden revelation repeatedly resurface in Christian history. By comparing early church responses—especially Irenaeus' work Against Heresies—with post-World War II healing revivals, Branhamism, and modern NAR teachings, this episode shows how Gnostic ideas reshape salvation, authority, and church identity. The discussion exposes why mystery-driven Christianity thrives in times of fear and instability, and why the simple public gospel remains the antidote. ______________________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

John explains why Freemasonry becomes a fixation for people leaving high-control religious groups, especially movements tied to William Branham and the New Apostolic Reformation. Drawing on history, personal experience, and documented hoaxes, he separates conspiracy theory from verifiable evidence while showing how fraternal-order structures were quietly replicated inside modern charismatic and apostolic movements. This episode examines Albert Pike, the Taxil hoax, Lucifer language, Christian Identity, pyramid theology, and why secrecy, hierarchy, and "inner knowledge" do far more damage inside churches than Freemasonry ever did outside them. The result is a sober, historically grounded framework for understanding why cult survivors spiral into conspiracy thinking — and how to step out of it. ______________________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

John, Kevin, and Barbara examine how post-Latter Rain and Voice of Healing networks helped lay the groundwork for today's blend of Word of Faith teaching, New Apostolic Reformation ideology, and aggressive Christian nationalism. They trace lines from Gordon Lindsay and early identity-influenced revival culture to Andrew Wommack's ministry in Woodland Park, Colorado, highlighting how a seemingly gentle Bible teacher fronts a sophisticated dominionist project aimed at reshaping local government, education, and civic life through Charis Bible College and the Truth and Liberty Coalition. ______________________Pelligrino Walk:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPviIYcBQYTk491wXZWBYzw ______________________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

John and Bob trace the long, tangled lineage of modern Pentecostal and charismatic movements, showing how cycles of cultural upheaval, crisis, and disillusionment have shaped revival narratives for more than a century. Their discussion follows the relational "family tree" behind movements like Latter Rain, Kansas City Fellowship, IHOPKC, and the New Apostolic Reformation, revealing how claims such as the "billion soul harvest" evolved through repeated patterns of failed predictions, fear-based messaging, and institutional control. Drawing on historical examples, personal experience, and deep research, they explore why revival expectations persist, how technology has reshaped spiritual culture, and why authentic renewal requires honesty about past distortions. ______________________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

In this special episode, Brad introduces an audio essay by Matt Taylor titled 'The Colonized God.' Taylor, known for his work on the New Apostolic Reformation, explores the complex relationship between Christians who are not Christian nationalists and Christian supremacists, who use Christianity to gain power and marginalize others. The essay delves into how different interpretations of Jesus' teachings can divide communities and the impact of Christian supremacy on contemporary American politics, especially in light of events like the January 6th Capitol riot. Taylor also reflects on his personal journey as a Christian amidst these tumultuous times and calls for a return to the core values of humility and compassion epitomized by Jesus.

Spirit's Anointing…For God's Glory? In this episode of Centering, hosts Yulee Lee and Daniel Lee explore the unlikely convergence of the biblical story of Samson, fermentation of kimchi, and iconic Jane Austen characters. The topic, Spirit's Anointing…For God's glory? highlights the dangers of conflating giftedness with divine favor, the importance of character over charisma, and the critical need for communal discernment and accountability structures, emphasizing that the anointing of the Spirit is made apparent through the evidence of the fruits of the Spirit. They draw on theological insights, personal anecdotes, and historical examples to emphasize the potential pitfalls of toxic ministry. The episode underscores the necessity for spiritual leaders to embody Christ-like humility and to engage in practices that promote healthy, sustainable, and God-centered leadership. 00:00 Introduction to Toxic Ministry 01:16 Recap of Previous Episode 01:54 The Dangers of Public Figures and Parasocial Relationships 04:36 The Misuse of Spiritual Anointing 07:44 The Importance of Communal Discernment 08:56 Character vs. Charisma in Leadership 14:37 The Role of Wisdom and Maturity 16:07 Distinguishing True Movements of God 18:06 White Christian Nationalism and NAR 20:34 The Importance of Accountability in Leadership 24:36 Avoiding Desperation in Ministry 26:37 The Dangers of Familiarity with Holy Things 29:53 Final Thoughts and Reflections The Violent Take It by Force by Matthew D.

Today we cover the New Apostolic Reformation, which is a term I've heard bandied about but haven't really heard a good explanation for. David sets us straight. Check out our books at HemisphericPress.com

John Collins and John McKinnon explore the destructive evolution of William Branham’s “little gods” doctrine and how it reshaped the nature of Jesus into something unrecognizable to historic Christianity. They trace how Branham’s shifting revelations, internal contradictions, and reliance on mystery-language gradually moved his followers into Arianism and deep theological confusion, creating a belief system where multiple versions of Jesus circulated at the same time. This discussion highlights how these teachings fractured families, eroded biblical clarity, and set the stage for modern charismatic excesses rooted in Branham’s ideas. Together they examine the internal logic of the doctrine, the manipulation of John 1:1, the diminishing of Christ’s deity, and the way Branham’s ideas empowered authoritarian leadership models that continue into today’s New Apostolic Reformation. With careful clarity, they unpack how these heresies developed, why they were historically rejected, and how they still shape ministries, identity, and belief inside and outside the movement. ______________________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

With the recent viral clip from Kirk Cameron's podcast about annihilationism, the internet has seemingly exploded with both disagreements and agreements surrounding this topic. Some are expressing concerns about Cameron agreeing with this topic and its ramifications for those who would hear the gospel and understand the severity of sin against God. Why is the belief in annihilationism of such a concern?Join me, along with David Lovi, as we discuss this topic and how it pertains to the New Apostolic Reformation.My info:Website: http://www.lovesickscribe.comSubscribe to my blog here: http://eepurl.com/dfZ-uHInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lovesickscribe/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lovesickscribeblog

John and Joey reveal how devotion to Jesus can slowly be entangled with authoritarian control inside the New Apostolic Reformation. Joey describes how constant pressure to obey “apostles,” secrecy around finances, plagiarism from the pulpit, and emotional manipulation led to a crisis of trust in leadership—yet not in Christ. The conversation continues to discuss how spiritual abuse thrives wherever human power replaces biblical accountability, yet freedom and healing are possible. This testimony offers hope to anyone escaping high-control churches: you can leave toxic authority behind without leaving Jesus. Your faith can survive—and grow stronger—after the NAR. ______________________ 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

Though the New Apostolic Reformation was coined by one man, this movement has taken root globally and has multiple streams running into it, spanning for decades. The teachings dating back to the Latter Rain movement, Word of Faith and into the NAR have no partiality to geographical location, finding their way into many countries and into many churches.Join Arpana Saladi and me for this discussion, as we look at examples of this movement in the country of India, and why this is a global matter and concern.

John explores the shocking hidden history of the “Billion Soul Harvest” movement, revealing how its roots stretch far deeper than the New Apostolic Reformation. Drawing from Cold War politics, postwar psychological experiments, and William Branham’s authoritarian theology, he traces how government fear tactics and revivalist propaganda merged into a global dominionist agenda. Along the way, he connects the dots between the Milgram obedience studies, Nixon’s “battle for the mind” speech, and the rise of prophetic generals who promised to win the world for Christ through control, not compassion. This episode exposes how the language of revival became the language of psychological warfare, transforming faith into a weapon.______________________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

John Collins and McKinnon continue their in-depth exploration into William Branham's “Adoption” doctrine and its influence on modern charismatic movements. They expose how Branham's teaching of a “word for the age” replaced salvation through faith in Christ with loyalty to new revelation. Drawing direct lines from Branham to the New Apostolic Reformation, they analyze how a theology rooted in mysticism, pantheism, and esoteric thought evolved into the cultic systems seen today. The discussion compares scriptural truth with Branham's distortions, examines the idolization of tapes and prophets, and reveals how persuasive charisma led countless believers to substitute emotional fervor for biblical faith.00:00 Introduction and Purpose of the Episode00:32 How Branham's “Word for the Age” Replaced the Gospel02:25 Cultic Authority and Fear of Outside Information05:20 Doctrinal Problems: Diminishing Christ and Changing the Gospel07:01 Tape-Only Churches and Movement-Wide Confusion10:40 Internal Message Criticism: A Minister Challenges Tape Worship13:25 Emotional Manipulation and the Power of Persuasion17:03 “Not Every Word Is Thus Saith the Lord”: Rising Internal Doubt20:55 Infallibility Contradictions in Branham's Teachings23:17 The Shift Toward Mysticism and Pre-Existence Doctrine29:56 Platonic and New Thought Roots Behind Branham's Ideas35:51 Blending Ancient Mysticism With Christianity38:18 A Different Gospel: Recognition Theology and Loss of Biblical Salvation44:00 Modalism in the Message and the Denial of Christ's Deity51:01 Closing Thoughts and Preview of Next Episode______________________Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K______________________– Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham– Subscribe to the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBSpezVG15TVG-lOYMRXuyQ– Visit the website: https://william-branham.org– Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WilliamBranhamOrg – Follow on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@william.m.branham– Follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/wmbhr– Buy the books: https://william-branham.org/site/books

Bethel Church in Redding, California, is part of a global movement known as the New Apostolic Reformation. Their teachings and their music have been integral in perpetuating aberrant practices that are finding inroads into solid churches. Given their influence and popularity, it is important to recognize and to warn others about the influence of Bethel and the NAR.Join us in this discussion regarding Doug Geivett and Holly Pivec's book, Reckless Christianity, as we consider these concerns.Resources:Part 3 of our discussion: https://youtu.be/8JqqXvMQy6c?si=SYHdp6yDkbBWbFMLMike Beckett's channel: https://youtube.com/@thedeadprophet5090?si=_ZwmQvMLptHgIE3YReckless Christianity: https://www.amazon.com/Reckless-Christianity-Destructive-Teachings-Practices/dp/1725272474/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1I0TR2X8EUP07&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.3_dhm_BS9ULAZpxp0Chtad7E-UUSyqU8ggow3DfQO_STc7FAbwHz3S6Hw-aSQmKQbVujg4bU7Ph2JmHO2-m4qzm9JSfu6l8nX3Ws9itlpXw.9L_P4TFeUOua7oafDIcICRa7hmMmTjhAIW55LT-TPho&dib_tag=se&keywords=reckless+christianity+holly+pivec&qid=1764690554&sprefix=reckless+christ%2Caps%2C157&sr=8-1The Holly Pivec Podcast: https://www.hollypivec.com/podcastMy info:Website: http://www.lovesickscribe.comSubscribe to my blog here: http://eepurl.com/dfZ-uHInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lovesickscribe/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lovesickscribeblog

John and Laura-Lynn discuss the authoritarian structures and doctrines that connect Branhamism, the Latter Rain, and today’s New Apostolic Reformation. They explore how William Branham’s reinterpretation of Malachi, the Elijah motif, Christian Identity influences, and mystical elements helped form a theological framework that still shapes major NAR figures and institutions. Through examples involving Jim Jones, Christ for the Nations, Gordon Lindsay, Dutch Sheets, and others, they illustrate how these ideas created a parallel “kingdom” with its own prophecy-driven hierarchy. They also examine how these movements subtly redefine the gospel, elevate human leaders, and inject mysticism and esoteric narratives into Christian belief. John and Laura-Lynn reflect on cult dynamics such as elitism, shunning, secrecy, and the pursuit of spiritual power, emphasizing the need for critical thinking and grounding in the plain reading of Scripture. The conversation highlights why awareness, historical accuracy, and careful theological evaluation remain crucial as these movements continue to influence mainstream charismatic spaces.______________________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

John explores the origins of Joel’s Army—a militant spiritual ideology that emerged from the strange crossroads of Pentecostalism, Christian Identity, and post-WWII fear. He traces its development from early influences like Helena Blavatsky’s esoteric teachings, New Thought metaphysics, and British Israelism to William Branham’s “spoken word” theology and Roy Davis’s ideological orphanages. The episode exposes how the Sharon Orphanage in North Battleford, Canada, became a model for youth indoctrination under the guise of revival and prophecy. John connects the rise of Joel’s Army to the political and apocalyptic climate after the atomic bomb—when fear of a coming world war fueled a militant form of faith. He explains how these doctrines laid the groundwork for movements like the Latter Rain revival and today’s New Apostolic Reformation. With historical depth and theological clarity, this episode uncovers how mysticism, nationalism, and spiritual warfare blended into a single, radical ideology that continues to shape modern charismatic movements. ______________________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

Send us a textKen Fong and I sit down for one of our richest, most thought-provoking conversations yet.We begin with the quietly powerful new film Rental Family, where Brendan Fraser's lonely American actor in Tokyo becomes the “token white guy” in Japan's unusual rental family industry. What begins as performance becomes something far deeper — and it opens the door for us to discuss honestly intercultural relationships, identity, belonging, and the longing for genuine connection in an era of isolation.From there, we take a turn into the world of (now Candidate for Governor of California) Pastor Ché Ahn, the New Apostolic Reformation, and the legacy of C. Peter Wagner — a professor both of us once studied under. We revisit Wagner's vision of ethnically centered churches, Ahn's rise as an apostolic figure, and his influential role in the Seven Mountain Mandate and the MAGA movement. This isn't a hit piece — it's a candid, personal reckoning with the theological, cultural, and political forces reshaping evangelicalism.We also dive into Jon M. Chu's reflections on Wicked, A.I., and Asian representation; the latest Tuesday election results; the troubling Tucker Carlson–Nick Fuentes pipeline; And yes — we talk about the shutdown, the blame game, and why today's GOP seems allergic to health care, border solutions, and the social safety net.SHOW NOTESSupport the showBecome a Patron - Click on the link to learn how you can become a Patron of the show.

John and Bob explore how a little-known thread of mid-20th-century Pentecostalism shaped modern dominionist movements. They uncover the role of William Branham, Roy Davis, Tommy Hicks, and political forces like Richard Nixon in transforming Joel's prophecy into a militant vision of a supernaturally empowered youth army. The conversation exposes how the same ideas re-emerged in Kansas City, laying foundations for IHOPKC and the New Apostolic Reformation—alongside patterns of manipulation, exploitation, and spiritual authoritarianism. ______________________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

John and Jed explore one of the most sensitive and emotionally charged topics in Pentecostal and Charismatic circles—the world of fake miracles, resurrection claims, and manufactured hype. Starting with Bethel Church's "Wake Up Olive" tragedy, they trace the long lineage of miracle stories from Smith Wigglesworth through William Branham to today's New Apostolic Reformation leaders. Their discussion examines how sensationalized testimonies shape belief, manipulate emotions, and reinforce authoritarian control within high-demand religious groups.Through deeply personal stories, including experiences from within Branhamism and IHOP, they unpack how false faith-healing narratives prey on trauma, obscure genuine spirituality, and keep followers trapped in fear of doubt. This conversation dives into the emotional cost of such beliefs—the shame, confusion, and psychological damage caused when "miracles" fail—and the deeper truth about where real faith should be placed.______________________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

John and Steve trace the ideological roots of mystical fascism and its unsettling influence on modern religious movements. They uncover how thinkers like Savitri Devi, Helena Blavatsky, and Alice Bailey shaped occult traditions that fed into Nazi spirituality—ideas that later resurfaced in Christian Identity, Latter Rain, and the New Apostolic Reformation. Together they explore how mysticism, dominionism, and political power converge into what Steve calls a "weaponization of Christianity," connecting early 20th-century esoteric fascism to the rhetoric of modern revivalists.Through themes like divine unity, eugenics, and "ongoing revelation," they reveal how the same doctrines once used to justify racial purification now appear repackaged as "kingdom power" and "apostolic authority." This episode dives deep into the historical cross-pollination of mysticism, nationalism, and religion—showing how the pursuit of a "divine world order" has too often led to destruction instead of redemption. ______________________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 - Subscribe to the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBSpezVG15TVG-lOYMRXuyQ

In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins exposes the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) a movement claiming modern apostles and prophets with new revelation from God. Dave explains its origins, core teachings, and why it poses a serious threat to biblical Christianity. The NAR undermines the sufficiency of Scripture, confuses apostolic authority, and replaces gospel-centered ministry with worldly dominionism and false prophecy. Using passages like Galatians 1:8–9, 2 Timothy 3:16–17, and Hebrews 1:1–2, Dave contrasts these errors with the unchanging truth of God's Word. Key Points: • What the New Apostolic Reformation teaches about apostles, prophets, and authority • Why NAR theology contradicts the gospel of grace • How Christians can discern truth and stand firm in Scripture Scripture References: Galatians 1:8–9 · 2 Timothy 3:16–17 · Hebrews 1:1–2 · John 18:36 · Ephesians 4:11–16 For more from Anchored in the Word with Dave please visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/anchored-in-the-wordpage/

Dan is off this week. So we are pleased to bring you a feature from our new limited series American Unexceptionalism: Global Lessons on Fighting Religious Nationalism with Dr. Matthew Taylor and Rev. Susan Hayward. South Korea is a nation that is deeply entwined with the United States. From the Korean War (which never technically ended) to Korean pop culture to the deep ties between Korean and American evangelical communities, what happens in the US affects South Korea and vice versa. But most Americans weren't paying attention to the fact that Korean democracy was startlingly challenged less than a year ago when the president at the time (President Yoon) declared martial law and tried to have his political enemies arrested. That attempt at autocratic takeover was unsuccessful, because Koreans took to the streets to protest and even Yoon's own party helped overturn his martial law decision and then impeach him. What can we in the United States learn from Korean activists and religious communities about how to resist wannabe tyrants? We get help on this question from two of the foremost experts on the interchanges between Korean religion and American religion: Helen J. Kim and Ray Kim.

Exposing the New Apostolic Reformation: Standing Firm on the True Gospel Anchored in the Word with Dave Jenkins · November 13, 2025 In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins exposes the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR)—a modern movement claiming God is restoring apostles and prophets to govern the Church. Dave defines what the NAR teaches, why it's dangerous, and how Christians can stand firm on the sufficiency of God's Word. This episode offers a clear, biblical response that points believers back to Christ and His finished work.

Mary welcomes back author, apologist and speaker Holly Pivec for a timely conversation about the New Apostolic Reformation - which has become more of a revolution if you look at the numbers. And yet so many believers have never heard of it. So today we look at the basics: what it is, what it isn't, and how to recognize it will take a bit of effort since it isn't a specific church or denomination. We look at how it intersects with politics and why. If Christians think that the gospel they see in today's politics is pure, they really need to think again, since the NAR is bent on taking over every system of the world. Does that sound as crazy to you reading it as it did to me writing it? It should, because dominion theology says that Christians must take over the world before Jesus can return. And yes, that IS crazy because Jesus isn't a hostage in heaven waiting for us to overtake politics. We also talk about revival: what might that look like here in 2025, with the NAR being opportunistic in nature, that wherever there are whispers of revival, there they must be. Christians must be armed with this information or they risk being deceived, it really is that simple. If a claim of revival turns out to be fake, are we trying to assign the Holy Spirit to something He has not initiated? How can that not be perilous to believers? Holly's definitive and groundbreaking books on the NAR can be found here.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

John and Matthew revisit the deep and often overlooked history of the Global Missions movement and its ties to Sharon Orphanage and the 1948 Latter-Rain Revival. Matthew, a former member, shares firsthand insights about growing up under the group's culture of "prophetic history" and its fixation on ongoing revelation. Together they examine the roots of this theology in Branhamism, the hidden influence of early founders like Eric Holt, George Houghton, and Percy Hunt, and how editing and distributing recorded sermons shaped the movement's beliefs. They also discuss the broader restorationist mindset that underpins much of the New Apostolic Reformation and why it continues to attract followers today. This candid conversation sheds light on the long-term dangers of replacing the sufficiency of Scripture with leaders who claim to reveal divine mysteries.______________________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

John, Kevin, and Barbara expose the spiritual and political machinery behind the so-called "Communion Revival" led by Lou Engle, Dean Briggs, and Chris Berglund. They trace how Manifest Sons of God theology from William Branham and the Latter Rain revival evolved into today's New Apostolic Reformation—with its Dominion Now teachings, manipulation of Gen Z, and exploitation of women. Together they unpack how a movement once claiming to bring unity and revival instead breeds hierarchy, nationalism, and theological corruption. The discussion moves from Nixon-era politics and charismatic propaganda to modern platforms like Awaken the Dawn, revealing a pattern of humanizing Christ, hero-worshiping leaders, and silencing victims—all under the banner of revival.______________________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

Mantles. Alignment. Anointing. These are but a few of the words that may be familiar to those who have been in the New Apostolic Reformation movement. Some leaders have created dictionaries of words to know the definitions of associated words. Those who have never been involved in this belief system may find it difficult to navigate a conversation with those who are in it. Join me along with Mike Beckett as we discuss some of the NAR buzzwords.Watch the rest of this discussion here at the Dead Prophet:https://youtu.be/Xn7YQGVYwMg?si=WiI7_hFTlFxFUi2FMy info:Website: http://www.lovesickscribe.comSubscribe to my blog here: http://eepurl.com/dfZ-uHInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lovesickscribe/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lovesickscribeblog

John and Chino expose the dangerous theology of Hobart Freeman, tracing his teachings back to William Branham's pattern of secrecy and manipulation. They discuss Freeman's claims of a "12-word revelation," his insistence that only one man held the true end-time faith message, and the psychological grip these ideas held over followers. The conversation connects the dots between Branham's "three high words," Freeman's mysterious visions, and the modern culture of prophetic elitism that still echoes in the New Apostolic Reformation.This episode invites listeners to reconsider how claims of hidden revelation and exclusive authority distort the humility and servant leadership modeled by Christ. ______________________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

John Collins traces the disturbing historical and theological roots linking William Branham's teachings to modern megachurch culture through Robert Morris and Gateway Church. Drawing from detailed research, he shows how Branham's "spoken word" doctrine and authoritarian "Moses model" structure evolved into today's New Apostolic Reformation, creating a cycle where abusive leaders are elevated again and again. John explores how figures like Roy E. Davis, Gordon Lindsay, and Jack Hayford bridged these movements—from early Christian Identity and Latter Rain to the prosperity gospel and NAR. This episode exposes how Branham's anti-biblical view of Christ as a "spoken manifestation" echoes directly in Robert Morris's sermons, proving that cultic theology can resurface even in the largest churches of modern evangelicalism. ______________________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

As we continue taking you're listener questions, today we have a question about the role of prophets and apostles in the modern church. From the New Apostolic Reformation to online YouTubers who claim to be prophets, there seems to be a growing interest in apostleship and prophecy. In our discussion, pastor Jim and I explore what the Bible has to say about these roles, their function as offices in the church, and how Christians can discern the proper use of these gifts. 

We're dealing with New Apostolic Reformation, and my guest has been Chris Quintana, and Chris is the pastor of Calvary Chapel Cypress, which is located in Orange County, as I mentioned, and Chris has been featured in the video series Wide Is the Gate, which is an apologetic documentary that deals with trends in the church that have undermined the biblical faith and have drawn many Christians away from the Word of God. So, Chris, welcome back to Search the Scriptures 24/7.Chris: Well, thank you, Tom. It's great to be back!
