Happy Wednesday!

We are so excited for this episode! We are joined by special guest Joshua Lewis and our co-host Ana.

Ana is one of our co-hosts this season, and one of the topics she has been eagerly waiting to discuss is deliverance. It's a subject that sparks a lot of questions, strong opinions, and sometimes confusion within the Church. Along with deliverance, we dive into another controversial topic: generational curses. Both of these topics have played a significant role in Ana's personal story and faith journey.

In this honest and thoughtful conversation, Joshua helps us unpack common misconceptions surrounding deliverance, addresses some of the harm and abuse that have occurred in the Church regarding this topic, and points us back to what Scripture actually teaches. Together, we explore what it means to be set free by Jesus, how spiritual oppression differs from possession, and how Christians can approach these conversations with both wisdom and biblical discernment.

Deliverance is often misunderstood, sensationalized, or avoided altogether. But what if the Bible has more to say about it than we realize? 

Whether you're curious, skeptical, or have personal experiences with deliverance ministry, this episode offers a balanced and insightful look at a topic that many believers wrestle with.

Deliverance: to be rescued or set free by God from danger, bondage, or oppression.

This is Part 1 of an incredible conversation that quickly became one of our favorite episodes of the season. Be sure to stay tuned for Part 2!

We pray this conversation encourages you to seek truth, find freedom in Christ, and deepen your understanding of God's power and love.

About Joshua Lewis:

Joshua Lewis serves as lead elder and teaching pastor for King's Fellowship in Ada, Oklahoma. He has a background in biblical studies and ministry, and has continued his theological development through years of pastoral work, extensive reading, and ongoing engagement with leading Christian thinkers. As founder and host of The Remnant Radio, he has interviewed more than 400 theologians, authors, and ministry leaders, reading their wide array of work.

Joshua married Jocelyn Lewis in 2012, and they have been happily married with three small children. With a background in classical Pentecostal tradition (Assemblies of God), Josh wanted to break the traditional mold of anti-intellectualism that he found so prominent in the charismatic church. Thus Josh live-streamed the first episode of The Remnant Radio in July 2017.

Though Josh no longer finds himself in the classical Pentecostal traditions, his desire to help charismatics bridge the gap between Word and Spirit remains one of his driving motivators as a charismatic evangelical.
