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.

Show Summary

What Is the NAR? A loosely organized movement emphasizing modern apostles and prophets who claim authority over churches and regions.

What It Teaches: Ongoing revelation, dominionism (Seven Mountain Mandate), signs and wonders, and “spiritual warfare” over territories.

Why It’s Dangerous:

Undermines the sufficiency of Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16–17; Hebrews 1:1–2).

Confuses apostolic authority (Ephesians 2:20).

Promotes a worldly kingdom vision instead of gospel mission (John 18:36).

Encourages false prophecy and spiritual abuse (Deuteronomy 18:22; Matthew 24:24).

Distracts from the true gospel of Christ crucified (1 Corinthians 15:1–4).

Biblical Response: Test everything by Scripture (Acts 17:11; 1 Thessalonians 5:21). Reject self-proclaimed apostles, cling to the ordinary means of grace, and hold fast to the true Head of the Church—Jesus Christ.

“Christ is enough. His Word is enough.” — Dave Jenkins
