Counterfeit Kingdom with R. Douglas Geivett and Holly Pivec


Listen Later

In this episode, Dr. Michael Easley welcomes Holly Pivec and R. Douglas Geivett to discuss the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) and their book Counterfeit Kingdom. The conversation unpacks how NAR leaders redefine apostleship, distort biblical terminology, and promote teachings that undermine the gospel. Holly and Doug explain how NAR apostles claim authority and revelation outside of Scripture, creating fear of demonic attack for those who refuse to submit. They highlight how this movement distorts the gospel by shifting the focus from Christ’s finished work on the cross to dominion theology, signs, and wonders.

The guests also address the dangers of Bethel music as a vehicle for spreading NAR doctrine, the redefinition of prayer into declarations and decrees, and the damage caused by false prophecies and failed miracles. They describe how NAR teaching fuels church splits, damages marriages, and divides families, all while advancing a Seven Mountain Mandate that seeks control over major areas of society.

Dr. Easley, Holly, and Doug caution listeners to recognize these counterfeit teachings and cling to the authority of Scripture. This episode calls believers to remain vigilant, discerning, and grounded in the truth of the gospel.


Takeaways:

  • NAR leaders redefine apostleship and claim authority not found in Scripture.
  • Fear of demonic attack is used to keep followers under apostolic “covering.”
  • The movement distorts the gospel, emphasizing dominion and miracles over Christ’s cross.
  • Bethel music spreads NAR doctrine globally under the guise of worship.
  • NAR’s Seven Mountain Mandate seeks cultural and political dominance.
