From NAR to Christ

When death comes, how should Christians respond—and where is our hope? In this episode of From NAR to Christ, Dawn Hill reflects on the recent loss of her mother-in-law and offers a deeply personal and biblical meditation on life, death, and eternity. Drawing from Psalm 90, 2 Corinthians 4–5, and Job 19, she reminds us that life is brief, eternity is certain, and the believer's hope rests not in temporal outcomes, but in the finished work of Jesus Christ. This episode also addresses common misunderstandings in Word of Faith and New Apostolic Reformation teaching—especially the idea that death represents Satan's victory. Instead, Scripture teaches that for the Christian, death is not defeat, but the doorway to eternal life in Christ. Listeners will be encouraged to: • Reflect on the brevity of life and the importance of eternity • Anchor their hope in the gospel, not in circumstances • Think biblically about death, suffering, and God's sovereignty • Reject unbiblical teaching about healing, declarations, and control • Rest in the promises of Christ and the assurance of eternal life This Scripture-centered episode is meant to comfort the grieving, strengthen believers, and call listeners back to the sufficiency of God's Word and the hope found in Christ alone.

In this episode of NAR to Christ with Dawn Hill, Dawn Hill examines a teaching that has become common in parts of the modern deliverance movement: the idea of "spirit spouses." Some teachers claim that demons can attach themselves to people through dreams, generational covenants, or spiritual encounters. These experiences are often presented as explanations for spiritual oppression or ongoing spiritual struggles. But does the Bible actually teach this? In this episode, Dawn compares these claims with the teaching of Scripture and encourages believers to test spiritual experiences and teachings by the authority of God's Word. Rather than relying on sensational stories or speculative spiritual explanations, Christians are called to stand firmly on the truth of the gospel and the sufficiency of Scripture. ________________________________________ Key Scriptures 1 John 4:1 Acts 17:11 2 Corinthians 11:3–4 Colossians 2:8 ________________________________________ For more from Dawn Hill, visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/dawn-hill/

In this episode of From NAR to Christ, we examine whether Bethel Church and its associated teachings can be biblically defended in light of documented doctrine, prophetic methodology, and spiritual practices connected to the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR).

In this episode of NAR to Christ, we examine the biblical meaning of gossip, slander, and discernment, and address the common claim that testing public teaching is itself sinful speech. Scripture clearly condemns gossip and slander, yet it also commands believers to test all things, expose works of darkness, and evaluate teaching according to God's Word. This episode explains the difference between repeating private rumors and responsibly examining public sermons, books, videos, and claims made in the name of Christ. We also discuss how labels such as "gossip" are sometimes misused to silence biblical scrutiny, why precision in language matters for Christians, and how believers can contend for the truth without crossing into sinful speech. Key Scriptures: Romans 1:28–30; Proverbs 11:13; Proverbs 20:19; Proverbs 26:20; Matthew 18:15–17; Ephesians 5:11; Romans 16:17; 1 Peter 2:1 This episode will help Christians pursue biblical clarity, accountability, and faithfulness in a confused and noisy age.

In this episode of From NAR to Christ, Dawn Hill examines a recent teaching by Katie Souza in which she claims a coming "culling" and promotes the idea of a so-called "spirit of death." This teaching includes declarative prayers, word-of-faith concepts, "legal rights" language, and appeals to the so-called "courts of heaven." Rather than responding emotionally, this episode carefully tests these claims by Scripture, reading key passages in context, including Hebrews 2:14–15, 2 Timothy 1:8–10, Romans 7, and major portions of Job. Special attention is given to how these texts are often misused to promise freedom from aging, sickness, suffering, or physical death—claims Scripture does not support. This episode also addresses: • Christ's true victory over death through His incarnation, cross, and resurrection. • Why believers cannot decree away physical death or the effects of living in a fallen world. • How word-of-faith and seed-faith teachings distort repentance, grace, and suffering. • Why the "courts of heaven" framework has no biblical foundation. • The comfort and hope found in God's sovereignty and the resurrection of the dead. This episode is offered as a biblical call back to Scripture rightly handled and as encouragement for believers seeking clarity, discernment, and confidence in the sufficiency of God's Word.

In this episode of From NAR to Christ, Dawn Hill carefully examines a widely circulated prophetic word for 2025 and applies the biblical tests for prophecy found in Scripture. Rather than accepting vague claims, post-event reinterpretations, or self-vindication, this episode asks the necessary question: Does this prophecy align with the standard God Himself has given? Listeners will walk through: • The fulfillment test for prophecy. • The orthodoxy test (does it align with Scripture?). • The lifestyle and integrity test. • The difference between prediction and prophecy. • Why "reading the room" is not biblical foretelling. • How Scripture—not modern prophetic movements—is the more sure word of prophecy. This episode is especially helpful for those: • Coming out of the New Apostolic Reformation or prophetic movement. • Seeking clarity on modern claims of apostles and prophets. • Wanting to grow in biblical discernment rooted in God's Word. 📖 Key Scriptures include: 1 Thessalonians 5:19–22; 1 John 4:1; Matthew 24; Deuteronomy 4 & 18; Acts 11 & 21; Micah 5:2; Hebrews 4:12; and 1 Corinthians 15:1–4. The goal of this episode is not sensationalism, but faithfulness—calling believers back to Christ, the gospel, and the sufficiency of Scripture.
