  • The Seven Mountain Mandate and Turning Point USA: A Biblical Response
    In this NAR to Christ episode, Dawn Hill addresses the troubling theology behind the Seven Mountain Mandate and its growing influence through organizations like Turning Point USA Faith. Dawn carefully walks through the origins of this movement under C. Peter Wagner, Lance Wallnau, and Johnny Enlow, explaining how their teachings redefine "reformation" and "dominion" in ways foreign to Scripture. Drawing from her research and firsthand experience within the NAR for nearly two decades, Dawn contrasts these claims with biblical truth reminding listeners that Christ's Kingdom is not of this world and that true reformation comes through repentance and faith in the gospel, not political or institutional takeover. Through Scripture, commentary, and clips from NAR leaders themselves, Dawn demonstrates how these ideologies distort ecclesiology, redefine apostleship, and confuse unity with compromise. This episode concludes her series examining the NAR connections and ecumenical partnerships behind Turning Point USA Faith calling believers back to fidelity to Christ, discernment, and Scripture as the final authority.

  • Spirit Led Worship After NAR, Truth Before Feelings
    Many leaving the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) ask: "How do I worship God now?" In this episode, Dawn Hill addresses a listener's question about worship after leaving the NAR and shares biblical guidance on Spirit led worship. Drawing from Costi Hinn's teaching on 1 Kings 12 and other key passages, she explains five marks of Spirit led worship: 1. Expression under the Spirit's control (Ephesians 5:18–20) 2. Prioritizing truth without sacrificing passion (John 16:13) 3. Focusing on who God is rather than what He gives (Isaiah 6; John 4:23–24) 4. Seeing ourselves rightly in light of God's holiness (Isaiah 6:5; Psalm 51) 5. Living worship as a lifestyle, not merely an event (Romans 12:1–2) Dawn shares her personal journey from emotional manipulation and performance-based worship to resting in the sufficiency of God's Word and the power of His Spirit. She also reflects on how hymn singing, biblical simplicity, and a high view of God bring freedom for those who once struggled with counterfeit worship practices. This episode is both sobering and encouraging—pointing believers away from hype and feelings-driven atmospheres and back to Scripture as the final authority in worship. Scriptures referenced: 1 Kings 12–13, Exodus 32, Isaiah 6, John 4, Ephesians 5:18–20, Romans 12:1–2, Psalms 51, 63, 134, 141; Lamentations 3:41.

  • From Guilt to Grace, Finding Freedom in Christ after the NAR
    Many who leave the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) or similar false movements continue to wrestle with lingering guilt, false shame, and a performance-based mindset. In this NAR to Christ episode, Dave Jenkins and Dawn Hill discuss how guilt and condemnation began in Genesis 3, why the gospel alone offers true freedom, and how believers can walk in grace and assurance through Christ. Together, they explore the difference between conviction and condemnation, the dangers of legalism, and the joy of resting in the sufficiency of Christ's finished work. They also emphasize the importance of biblical literacy, faithful expository preaching, and life in the local church as the means through which God strengthens and frees His people. Main Points: 1. Where guilt began in the Garden (Genesis 3; Romans 5:12–19) 2. Understanding conviction vs. condemnation (Romans 8:1) 3. Escaping the "do more" performance trap of false religion 4. True repentance and assurance in Christ (Psalm 51; 1 John 1:9) 5. Freedom through the Spirit, not the flesh (Galatians 5:16–26) 6. Why biblical literacy and sound preaching bring lasting hope Encouragement: If you've come out of the NAR, New Age, or other legalistic systems, remember: in Christ there is no condemnation (Romans 8:1). You are forgiven, justified, and free to walk in His grace and truth. Scripture References: Genesis 3; Psalm 51; Romans 3:23; 5:12–19; 6; 7:24–25; 8:1–4; Galatians 5:16–26; Ephesians 2:8–10; Colossians 3:1–10; 1 John 1:9; 1 Timothy 2:5.
