The Doctrine of Balaam: Exposing Corruption in the Modern Prophetic Movement | KIB 547 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing DESCRIPTION THE DOCTRINE OF BALAAM: EXPOSING CORRUPTION IN THE MODERN PROPHETIC MOVEMENT Kingdom Intelligence Briefing — Episode 547 What does the biblical account of Balaam reveal about the modern prophetic movement? Balaam presents one of Scripture's most sobering examples of supernatural gifting separated from godly character.  He could encounter genuine supernatural revelation.  He could speak words God placed in his mouth.  He even delivered a remarkable prophecy concerning the coming Messiah.  Yet Balaam's supernatural experiences did not transform his character.  His heart remained vulnerable to money, honor, influence, compromise, and access to kings.  That creates a critical warning for the Church today: ·      Prophetic accuracy does not necessarily equal divine approval. ·      Supernatural power does not equal holiness. ·      Revelation does not equal character. ·      Gifting does not equal maturity. ·      Anointing does not equal obedience. Jesus taught that fruit remains essential in discerning spiritual ministry. In KIB 547, Dr. Michael Lake and Mary Lou Lake undertake a biblical examination of Balaam and discover that the New Testament gives us three powerful categories for understanding prophetic corruption: THE WAY OF BALAAM — 2 Peter 2:15 THE ERROR OF BALAAM — Jude 1:11 THE DOCTRINE OF BALAAM — Revelation 2:14 Together, these passages provide a biblical framework for evaluating modern prophetic ministry. The episode examines how genuine or claimed spiritual gifting can become corrupted when joined with covetousness, ambition, political influence, celebrity, sexual compromise, financial manipulation, and the commercialization of spiritual authority. One of the deepest theological observations in the episode is this: Balaam wanted God's power without God's government. That same temptation remains possible today: ·      Prophecy without holiness. ·      Power without obedience. ·      Gifts without character. ·      Authority without accountability. ·      Revelation without Scripture. ·      Anointing without crucifying the flesh. ·      Kingdom authority without submission to the King. True biblical prophetic ministry cannot be separated from covenant faithfulness and obedience. THE WAY OF BALAAM Second Peter 2:15 identifies Balaam as one "who loved gain from wrongdoing." ·      The problem is not legitimate financial support for ministry. ·      The danger begins when money starts influencing ministry. ·      When access to a prophet is sold. ·      When prophetic words become commodities. ·      When larger offerings produce more favorable prophecies. ·      When invitations, platforms, donors, and political connections begin determining what a minister will—or will not—say. ·      At that point, the gift is being monetized. Biblical ministry may receive support, but God's gifts must never become merchandise. THE ERROR OF BALAAM Jude 1:11 exposes another dimension. A minister can begin assuming that because supernatural manifestations continue, God must approve of the minister's character and conduct. Balaam destroys that assumption. Something supernatural happening does not prove that God approves of the vessel. The question must move beyond: "Was the prophecy accurate?" We must also ask: ·      Does the ministry exalt Jesus Christ? ·      Does it submit prophetic claims to Scripture? ·      Does it produce holiness and repentance? ·      Does it strengthen covenant faithfulness? ·      Is there humility? ·      Is there financial and sexual integrity? ·      Is there meaningful accountability? ·      Are failed predictions acknowledged? ·      Does the ministry create dependence upon Christ—or dependence upon the prophet? ·      Does it produce mature disciples—or prophetic consumers? And perhaps one of the most important questions: Will the prophet speak the truth when doing so could cost the prophet money, popularity, political access, followers, conference invitations, or the entire platform? The episode contrasts Balaam with Micaiah, who was willing to suffer rather than alter the word God had given him. THE DOCTRINE OF BALAAM Revelation 2:14 takes the warning even further. Personal corruption eventually becomes doctrine. Balaam discovered that he could not directly curse the people God had blessed. Instead, Israel was enticed into idolatry and sexual immorality. The pattern becomes: ·      Gift ·      Revelation ·      Opportunity ·      Desire for reward ·      Compromise ·      Rationalization ·      Prophetic corruption ·      Teaching others to compromise ·      Covenantal judgment The compromised minister eventually becomes an architect of compromise in others. DON'T THROW OUT THE TRUE BECAUSE OF THE FALSE This episode is not an argument for rejecting biblical prophetic ministry. Quite the opposite. The existence of counterfeit ministry makes biblical discernment even more important. Jesus places the doctrine of Balaam inside the Church in Revelation 2:14. The warning to Pergamum therefore provides a serious pattern for examining what the Church tolerates. The answer is not cynicism. The answer is testing. "Prove all things." Return everything to Scripture. Reject the false. Hold fast to what is good. And allow God to restore genuine biblical ministry. The closing message of KIB 547 is ultimately one of hope: God is preparing His remnant, exposing what is false, and calling His people back to Christ, His Kingdom, His Word, holiness, and covenant faithfulness.

Jonah Goldberg is not a bigot. Yet, as we all know, there are exceptions to every rule. The French are one of those exceptions. In particular, Jonah sees the cheese-eating surrender monkeys' refusal to embrace America's foremost gift to the civilized world—air conditioning—as an offense against all reason and good sense. Nevertheless, being a fair-minded man, Jonah is willing to give the French a hearing. Having no desire to talk to an actual Frenchy, however, he's turned to the next best thing: an American who lives in France.  Sweat beading on his forehead, Thomas Chatterton Williams joins The Remnant not only to make apology for his adoptive country's backward ways, but to dispense his usual authoritative takes on politics and culture, covering race in France, the Rassemblement National, radical Islam, integration, accents, Woke 1, Jason Arday, 80/20 issues, policing speech, The Odyssey, Christopher Nolan, and Jonah's ideal zombie movie.

There's a certain ache in the bones—no, more like pain behind the eyes brought on by fatigue with the world—that overtakes a man when he's gone too long without talking about etymology. We here at The Remnant have been feeling that deeply, and we know you have too. That's why Jonah Goldberg is sitting down with fellow word nerd Colin Gorrie to talk about everything he's ever wanted to know about language. Jonah and Colin cover Old English dialects, prescriptive vs. descriptive, the world's biggest language, Latinization, early dictionaries, class, accents, linguistic hygiene, the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, metaphors, the euphemism treadmill, borrowed words, Shakespearean coinages, Australian English, gender in language, Basque, and the hardest European language to learn.  Show Notes: —Colin's Substack —Colin speaking Old English  —John McWhorter Remnant —Paul Bloom - Just Babies: The Origins of Good and Evil —George Lakoff and Mark Johnson - Metaphors We Live By The Remnant is a production of ⁠The Dispatch⁠, a digital media company covering politics, policy, and culture from a nonpartisan perspective.

God Is Shaking His Church: Judgment, Restoration & the Return to Biblical Foundations | KIB 546 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing DESCRIPTION Is the shaking in the Church merely destruction—or could God be using judgment to prepare His people for restoration? In KIB 546, Dr. Michael Lake and Mary Lou Lake examine a powerful biblical pattern: when God's covenant people depart from His established foundations, judgment can become an instrument of restoration. Scripture repeatedly reveals a progression: ·      God establishes His order. ·      Mixture and compromise enter. ·      Prophetic warnings are given. ·      Repentance is resisted. ·      Judgment exposes and removes what is false. ·      A faithful remnant returns to covenant. ·      God restores upon the foundation He originally established. From the Babylonian exile and the rebuilding described in Ezra, to Jeremiah, Haggai, Josiah, Hebrews, Revelation, and the New Testament Church, the pattern remains remarkably consistent. Judgment does not necessarily mean that God has abandoned His people. His discipline can demonstrate precisely the opposite. Hebrews 12:6 teaches that the Lord disciplines those whom He loves. Dr. Lake explains why God may have to dismantle spiritual corruption, false doctrine, religious entertainment, prosperity thinking, celebrity culture, pagan mixture, and man-made traditions before genuine restoration can occur. The question for the remnant is not simply:  "God, will You revive what we have built?" A more important prayer may be:  "Father, remove everything we have built that prevents us from becoming what You intended." This episode examines the biblical sequence of judgment, remembrance, repentance, return, obedience, holiness, and restoration—and why understanding that process may be critical for the days ahead. God is not calling His people to invent another Christianity. He is calling His people back to the foundation. ·      Christ has not moved. ·      The Word has not changed. ·      The Kingdom cannot be shaken. The shaking reveals what God never built, so what He established can be seen clearly again. The remnant must return to Christ, biblical authority, holiness, obedience, covenant faithfulness, prayer, sound doctrine, the fear of the Lord, and the Holy Spirit's leadership. "Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken." — Hebrews 12:28 KEY SCRIPTURES DISCUSSED Jeremiah 30:11 Jeremiah 1:10 Jeremiah 7:4 Jeremiah 29:10–14 Deuteronomy 30:1–3 Isaiah 28:16 1 Corinthians 3:11–13 Haggai 1:5–9 2 Kings 22:11 2 Kings 23 Hebrews 12:5–11 Hebrews 12:26–28 Revelation 2:4–5 Revelation 3:19 1 Peter 4:17 Ezekiel 9:6 Isaiah 10:20–21 Zephaniah 3:12–13 John 15:2 CALL TO ACTION The time has come for believers to examine everything by the Word of God. Ask the Father to reveal anything in your life that has been built upon human tradition, cultural compromise, Babylonian thinking, or a false spiritual foundation. Choose now to cooperate with God's restoration process. ·      Return to His Word. ·      Return to holiness. ·      Return to obedience. ·      Return to covenant faithfulness. ·      Return to Christ.

Send us Fan MailKen Corkins and pastor Rocky Ellison record Season 18, Episode 24 of Pondering the Bible from a home studio during a heat wave and begin Romans 11:1–10 (RSV). They discuss Paul's argument that God has not rejected Israel, pointing to Paul's own Jewish lineage and to Elijah's despair and God's preserved 7,000 as evidence of a faithful remnant. The hosts connect this to the mixed Jewish-Gentile Roman church and its conflict, emphasizing that salvation is by grace, not works, and addressing foreknowledge versus forechoice. They explain “the elect” as Jews who accept Jesus and interpret the “hardened” through accurate Old Testament citations from Deuteronomy/Isaiah and Psalm 69, warning against complacent confidence in works.

The Rise of Islam & the Crisis of Biblical Christianity | KWR0062 Kingdom War Room DESCRIPTION What happens when a civilization loses its biblical foundations while competing religious and ideological systems grow stronger? In this powerful Kingdom War Room discussion, Dr. Michael Lake, Dr. Mike Spaulding, and Pastor Corby Shuey examine the growing influence of Islam in the Western world, the ideological conflicts facing America, and the spiritual condition that has left much of the modern Church unprepared to respond. This conversation is not a call for hatred, hostility, or mistreatment of Muslims. The speakers explicitly distinguish between people and the doctrines and ideological claims they are examining. The deeper question is: DO CHRISTIANS ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT THEY BELIEVE? The Church is entering an age in which shallow Christianity will not be sufficient. As competing worldviews grow increasingly bold, believers must understand the Scriptures, know why they believe what they believe, develop biblical discernment, and become deeply rooted in Jesus Christ. This episode examines: ·      The rise of Islamic influence in Western culture and politics ·      Islam, Sharia, jihad, and competing religious worldviews ·      Why Christians must understand the theological differences between the biblical Jesus and the Islamic understanding of Jesus ·      The relationship between postmodernism, cultural deconstruction, socialism, and Islamism discussed by the panel ·      How emotionalism has weakened biblical Christianity ·      Why believers must learn to distinguish feelings from biblical truth ·      The danger of churches abandoning serious biblical study ·      Why spiritual discernment will become increasingly important ·      The need for pastors and Christian leaders to preach biblical truth without fear ·      Why the next generation desperately needs a biblical worldview ·      The difference between emotional conversion and genuine faith in Jesus Christ ·      Why worship must be centered on God rather than human experience ·      The necessity of spiritual discipline and deep biblical conviction Why the Remnant must develop deep spiritual roots for the days ahead One of the central warnings of this Kingdom War Room is simple: A shallow faith cannot withstand a serious spiritual battle. Dr. Lake observes that Christians have moved from being a studious people to becoming an entertainment-oriented people. Dr. Spaulding warns that believers who do not know Scripture or understand why they believe what they believe will find themselves increasingly unprepared for opposition. The answer is not fear. The answer is not hatred. The answer is not political violence. The answer is a Church that returns to the Word of God, walks in the fear of the Lord, develops spiritual discernment, and becomes firmly rooted in Jesus Christ. Pastor Corby makes this especially clear in the closing prayer: the response being advocated is not rudeness, violence, or aggression toward others, but humble submission to Scripture and faithful allegiance to Jesus Christ. The time for "three-millimeter-deep Christianity" is over.  We need roots that run deep.  We need believers who know the Word.  We need men and women who understand their faith.  And above everything else, we need a generation that knows Jesus Christ as Lord, King, Messiah, Redeemer, and Savior.

KEY SCRIPTURES FEATURED Hosea 11:4–7 — God calls His people back to Himself rather than trusting competing powers and false systems. Job 38:3 — "Dress for action like a man"; the discussion uses Job to emphasize accountability before Almighty God. Matthew 24 — The episode connects contemporary deception with Jesus' warnings concerning the last days. Psalm 1 — The closing exhortation uses the image of the deeply rooted tree as a model for believers who must withstand spiritual drought. The episode also repeatedly emphasizes the biblical confession of Jesus Christ as Lord, Messiah, Savior, Redeemer, and God incarnate. The discussion specifically contrasts that confession with Islamic Christology.

Breaking Free from the Old Gods: The Spiritual War Behind the World System | KIB545 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing DESCRIPTION What if many things modern believers consider normal are actually remnants of a world system from which Christ has called us to separate? In Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Episode 545, Dr. Michael Lake and Mary Lou Lake examine the continuing spiritual battle between the Kingdom of God and the systems of this world. Beginning with the influence of ancient Greek and Roman culture and moving deeply into the Apostle Paul's teaching in Ephesians, this episode challenges the Remnant to recognize just how thoroughly the ways of the old world can become embedded in culture, religion, education, tradition, and everyday life. Dr. Lake focuses particularly on Ephesians 2:1–3, where Paul describes three interconnected dimensions of humanity's former bondage: the world, the devil, and the flesh. But Paul does not leave believers there. Christ has been raised above every ruler and authority, and those who belong to Him have been called into an entirely different Kingdom and way of life. This leads directly into the spiritual warfare of Ephesians 6. The believer's struggle is not merely against bad ideas, political systems, cultural movements, or human opponents. Paul identifies principalities, authorities, cosmic powers over this present darkness, and spiritual forces of evil. The enemy continually schemes to entangle believers in the very system from which Christ delivered them. That makes TRUTH indispensable. The armor of God does not begin with emotionalism, religious excitement, or spiritual spectacle. It begins with the belt of truth. Dr. Lake explains why believers cannot merely SAY that they are putting on the armor of God. The armor must become a lived spiritual reality through obedience, sanctification, prayer, faith, and the renewing of the mind through the Word of God. This episode also examines: ·      The continuing influence of Greek and Roman religious ideas on Western civilization ·      Ancient gods, principalities, and the spiritual warfare behind human systems ·      Why Paul was uniquely prepared to confront Greco-Roman culture with biblical truth ·      Ephesians 2:1–3 and the world, the flesh, and the prince of the power of the air ·      Why Christ's authority is greater than every principality and power ·      How cultural traditions can pull believers back toward the world system ·      Why true biblical Christianity will never comfortably conform to darkness ·      The spiritual meaning of the armor of God ·      Why spiritual warfare is an ongoing wrestling match ·      Emotionalism versus genuine conversion and transformation ·      Why forgiveness is essential in breaking the enemy's influence ·      Torah as the loving instruction of God ·      Jesus as the perfect example of walking in the Father's ways ·      The brazen laver, the altar, and becoming a living sacrifice ·      Why the Remnant must learn again to discern clean from unclean and good from evil ·      How believers can begin disentangling themselves from the world system one decision at a time The early Church could not be conquered by persecution because believers possessed the Scriptures, the testimony of Jesus Christ, and the power of the Holy Spirit. Dr. Lake argues that abandoning the biblical foundations of the faith has left much of the modern Church unable to discern good from evil and vulnerable on the spiritual battlefield. The answer is not fear. The answer is a return to God. Every time we choose God's ways instead of the ways of the world, another strand connecting us to the world system is broken. Every act of obedience removes another avenue through which darkness attempts to influence our lives. The Kingdom of God is coming. Daniel 2:44 declares that God will establish a Kingdom that will never be destroyed. Revelation 11:15 announces: "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever." And that Kingdom can begin reigning within the hearts and lives of God's people RIGHT NOW. The Remnant must prepare. It is time to hunger for the Word of God again. It is time to learn His ways. It is time to recognize the schemes of the enemy. It is time to become disentangled from the world system. And it is time to walk as citizens of the Kingdom of God.

Fellow Millennial, Stephanie Slade, has been in the trenches of various factions on the dissident Right lo these past several years to share with the uninitiated normies just how unhinged the Right has become in certain quarters.  She joined Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis earlier this year (back in episode 193) to explore this phenomenon.  But since that time she's written a book, Fusionism: Liberty, Virtue, and the Future of the American Right, which offers the antidote to the rise of rightwing radicalism.  That antidote is fusionism, a largely forgotten idea that once defined American conservatism.   About Stephanie Slade From Reason.com   Stephanie Slade is a senior editor at Reason, the magazine of "free minds and free markets," and the author of Fusionism: Liberty, Virtue, and the Future of the American Right, forthcoming from University of Notre Dame Press. Her writing has appeared in America magazine, The New York Times, U.S. News and World Report, the Online Library of Liberty, and elsewhere. She covers the intersection of religion and politics.   Slade is best known for her piece "Why I Am a Pro-Life Libertarian," her magazine feature on booze-producing monks, and her defenses of fusionism (which probably isn't what you think!). Don't miss her discussing the differences between comprehensive and political libertarianism on The Reason Interview With Nick Gillespie.   In 2013, Slade was named a finalist for the Bastiat Prize for Journalism. In 2016, she was selected as a Robert Novak Journalism Fellow. She has been a guest on a variety of podcasts, including Jonah Goldberg's The Remnant, Charlie Sykes' The Bulwark Podcast, and The New York Times' Ezra Klein Show.

You thought it was over. After the Napoleon III Remnant ran nearly two hours, observers and pundits the world over said this had to be the end. How could anyone, even Jonah Goldberg, have an appetite for more? But wait—who's that dark figure lurking in the wings? Oh no. It's … Kevin D. Williamson.  Apparently Jonah's chemical addiction to 19th-century French politics stirred something in Kevin's mind, so much so that the man began writing a book about “the sacrosanct presidency.” And they say deeply fruitful intellectual friendships are dead. But don't worry, gentle listener—if you're sick of Napoleon III, there's plenty more to feast upon at this Remnant smorgasbord, including democracy, Henry VIII, anarchism, individualism, competing rights claims, Woke 1, civil rights, and the American ethos.  Show Notes: —Napoleon III Remnant —New Yorker article on data centers —Kevin's book: The Smallest Minority: Independent Thinking in the Age of Mob Politics —Jonah's book: Suicide of the West —Willmoore Kendall: “The Two Majorities” —Aaron MacLean Remnant  The Remnant is a production of ⁠The Dispatch⁠, a digital media company covering politics, policy, and culture from a nonpartisan perspective.

From Israel, with guests Joel Rosenberg and Jerusalem's Menno Kallisher, Jim Scudder reaches the vial judgments — a woman in travail, a dragon waiting to devour her child, a protected remnant — who is the woman, who is spared, and what happens when the war of Armageddon finally dawns?

It's time to be honest: Jonah Goldberg can't remember if he's ever had a Nobel Prize-winning guest on The Remnant. If that shocks you, calm down. It's called getting old. After today, however, Jonah can say with certainty that he has, as he is joined by Nobel laureate in economics Daron Acemoglu. Listen in as Jonah and Daron light up the Remnant bingo card like a Hanukkah bush, covering liberal democracy, community, subsidiarity, the welfare state, status, prosperity gaps, AI, automation, China, abundance, the working class, Zohran Mamdani, and the Democratic Party.

True Biblical Worship vs. Strange Fire: What Does God Really Want? | KIB 543 DESCRIPTION Welcome to Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Episode #543 with Dr. Michael Lake and Mary Lou Lake. What does God actually desire from those who worship Him? Modern Christianity often defines worship primarily through music, singing, emotional experiences, and church services. But Scripture presents something far deeper. True biblical worship is not merely an event we attend—it is a covenant lifestyle of reverence, obedience, holiness, truth, thanksgiving, humility, service, repentance, and wholehearted devotion to God. In this episode, Dr. Michael Lake examines the biblical theology of worship from both the Old and New Testaments. Psalm 24 reveals the necessity of clean hands and a pure heart, while Jesus declares that the Father is seeking those who will worship Him "in spirit and truth." This teaching also confronts a serious problem within modern Christianity: worship can become religious performance while the believer's daily life remains disconnected from God. Scripture reveals that obedience itself is worship. Holiness is worship. Serving others can become worship. Thanksgiving is worship. Repentance restores true fellowship with God. Even studying Scripture to discover what pleases God becomes an expression of devotion to Him. Dr. Lake also examines Cain, Nadab and Abihu, Saul, Uzziah, and Israel's golden calf to demonstrate a sobering biblical principle: sincerity does not give humanity the authority to redefine worship. God determines how He is to be worshiped. The episode concludes with a warning that much of contemporary worship risks producing "strange fire" rather than Christlikeness—and a call for the Remnant to return to worship that transforms the worshiper and exalts God alone. IN THIS EPISODE: • Why worship is a lifestyle rather than an event • What it means to worship God in spirit and truth • The Hebrew and Greek concepts behind biblical worship • Why obedience is an act of worship • Why God requires holiness from His worshipers • The relationship between thanksgiving, praise, and worship • Why biblical study itself can become an act of devotion • How religious performance can replace genuine worship • Why worship must remain God-centered rather than man-centered • Cain, Nadab and Abihu, Saul, Uzziah, and unauthorized worship • The danger of "strange fire" in the modern Church • How true worship produces transformation and Christlikeness • Why worship and obedience are powerful components of spiritual warfare Mary Lou also discusses prayer, spiritual warfare, and the importance of recognizing that the heavens belong to Almighty God—not the powers of darkness. The episode opens with a call for believers to respond to spiritual opposition by declaring biblical truth and magnifying the Creator rather than fearing the enemy.

Following Jesus can be very lonely sometimes. His moral standards and attitudes toward people are so different that the more we obey Him the more we find ourselves at odds with our culture. Awkward moments increase when we have to say "no" to something or "yes" to something others think is crazy. People view us with suspicion and wonder If we've taken this religious thing too far. Some friends stop socializing with us, employers may look for an opportunity to fire us or at least pass us by for a promotion. Teachers may drop our grades because they don't like what we write. Even family may act strangely around us. What was once a close relationship may grow strained and awkward. Jesus, of course, said all of this would happen. He said the world doesn't like Him, so if we follow Him, it won't like us either (Jn 15:18,19; Mt 10:34-37). But when that process actually starts, it still comes as a shock. Surely our family and friends will see the good things God is doing in our lives. Surely in the bottom of their heart they know His ways are right. Surely when they hear our story they too will believe. And thankfully, some do, but others don't, at least for a long time. Even religious people, those who call themselves Christians, may grow angry and push us away. It seems the gospel, the real one that is, tests the human heart separating those who believe from those who don't. There have been seasons in history and places on earth when large numbers have believed. But at other places and times, those numbers grow small... and those faithful few can feel very much alone. The Bible has a name for these. It calls them "the remnant."

Every once in a while, The Remnant staff need to remind Jonah Goldberg that we're running a business here, and that he can't just putz around with Pod, Chris, or Sarah on every episode.

Join Jonah and Ken as they discuss pain thresholds, public opinion inside Iran, the fallout of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's death, the ideology of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Persian nationalism, the original sins of the war, the politics behind the scenes, civil-war spillover, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, oil, exit strategies, and end games.  Show Notes: —Pollack's forthcoming book: The Iraq Wars —Last Ken Pollack Remnant  —Aaron MacLean Remnant —NYT: “Inside Israel's Secret Operation to Cultivate Ahmadinejad” —Pollack's webinar: “US Policy After Iraq: Getting Lebanon's Disarmament Right” The Remnant is a production of ⁠The Dispatch⁠, a digital media company covering politics, policy, and culture from a nonpartisan perspective.

The Biblical Teacher: Why the Church Desperately Needs Sound Doctrine – Foundational Issues Part 7 | KIB 541 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description Welcome to Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Episode 541 with Dr. Michael Lake and Mary Lou Lake. What does Scripture teach about the biblical office of the teacher? Why is sound doctrine so critical in an age of deception, AI, and increasing spiritual confusion? In this episode, Dr. Michael Lake continues the Fivefold Ministry series by examining the biblical calling, character, and responsibilities of God's teachers. Drawing from the ministries of Jesus, Ezra, Apollos, Timothy, and the Apostle Paul, this teaching reveals that biblical teachers are called to do far more than transfer information—they are commissioned to bring believers into spiritual maturity through faithful exposition of God's Word. Mary Lou opens the program with a timely discussion on overcoming spiritual strongholds, breaking ungodly influences, and remaining firmly established in Christ rather than the counterfeit systems of the world. Together they examine the importance of discernment, the dangers of occult influence, the proper use of technology, and why believers must continually renew their minds with Scripture. If you desire to grow deeper in God's Word and develop biblical discernment for the days ahead, this teaching will provide a strong scriptural foundation. In this episode, you'll discover: ·       The biblical office of the teacher ·       Why Jesus was called "Teacher" more than any other title ·       The responsibilities of a biblical teacher ·       The difference between information and transformation ·       Why sound doctrine protects the Church ·       The importance of study, obedience, and faithful teaching ·       How false teaching spreads in the last days ·       Biblical principles for evaluating AI and modern technology ·       Why discernment is essential for every believer ·       How teachers help equip the Body of Christ for spiritual maturity

Here at The Remnant, our hate list is rather long: Woodrow Wilson, electoral primaries, German romanticism … the list goes on and on. But if there's one we hate that doesn't get enough air time, it's Chinese communism. We hate Chinese communism. That's why we've recruited from the ranks of America's foremost anti-CCP institution—that's the American Enterprise Institute, for those of you who live under rocks—to bring you the latest on Chinese grand strategy. AEI's Audrye Wong joins Jonah Goldberg to discuss Beijing's international investment, Chinese diaspora, influence operations, Taiwan, bribery, Chinese culture, American investment in Asia, Orbán's Hungary, Russia-China relations, democracy, Han supremacy, and how Americans should think about countering the threat across the Pacific.  Show Notes: —Subversion and Seduction: China's Economic Statecraft —Zach Cooper in Foreign Affairs: “Asia After America” —Jonah's last book The Remnant is a production of ⁠The Dispatch⁠, a digital media company covering politics, policy, and culture from a nonpartisan perspective.

Join us for an honest conversation about following Christ every day.

Jonah Goldberg has been chewing over how to reduce the number of gray hairs in Congress for some time now. Unfortunately, the best that he and The Remnant team have come up with is shaving the heads of all the senior senators, which, seeming somewhat impractical, led Jonah to call in an expert. Science correspondent and longtime friend of the show Ronald Bailey joins the merry band today to set us all straight on RFK Jr., vaccines, MAHA, DOGE, libertarianism, bad analogies for government, transhumanism, gerontocracy, term limits, libertarian Shangri-La, Francis Fukuyama, institutions, economic growth, Thomas Jefferson, invention, and Benjamin Franklin.  Show Notes: —Bailey's book - The End of Doom: Environmental Renewal in the Twenty-first Century —Bailey's book - Liberation Biology: The Scientific And Moral Case For The Biotech Revolution —Bailey in Reason - “Can America Get Out of the Gerontocracy Trap?” —Jonah's book - Suicide of the West —Terrible Rest Is History podcast on Jefferson  —Michael Auslin Remnant The Remnant is a production of ⁠The Dispatch⁠, a digital media company covering politics, policy, and culture from a nonpartisan perspective.

Longtime listeners of The Remnant know well Jonah Goldberg's hatred of the extremist, oligarchic, necromantic political conclaves holding our nation hostage, otherwise known as primaries. Nonetheless, listeners are left with many questions unanswered: How did populists seize the GOP in 2016? What should replace primaries for candidate selection? What will go down in 2028? Will Yuval Levin be on the ticket?  Here to put an end to all speculation is political scientist Seth Masket, who joins Jonah to talk about the Tea Party, Donald Trump's charisma, Bill Clinton as a precursor to Trump, primaries, county-scale politics, party leadership, democratization, conventions, Trump's influence over 2028, the next GOP presidential candidate, J.D. Vance, Richard Nixon, and Ronald Reagan's 11th commandment.
