  • Leaving the UPCI: What Nobody Tells You About Walking Away | LIVE

    What happens when you still love God’s Word, but years of fear, performance, proof-texting and bad interpretation have made it difficult to open it again? In this episode, we’re talking about how to start over with Scripture, without quotas, guilt, or needing a pastor to tell you what God is saying. We’ll share practical ways to get back into the Bible, then walk through how to read it faithfully using context, exegesis, literary genre, good resources, discernment, and a whole lot less Pentecostal baggage. You don’t have to become a Bible scholar or build a perfect devotional streak. You can slow down, ask questions, test what you were taught, and keep coming back to Jesus. 

    I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways. I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your word. - Psalm 119:15-16 ESV

  • What Just Happened at UPCI General Conference 2026?! | Money, Marriage & Ministry – LIVE

    In this Grace Escape LIVE special, we examine what stood out at UPCI General Conference 2026—from multimillion-dollar fundraising appeals to David Bernard’s candid comments about tithing and pastoral compensation, and Aaron Bounds’s expectations for young people concerning marriage, children, and ministry. We look at how giving, church planting, ministerial licensing, and family decisions become connected to the organization’s vision for its future. Along the way, we compare these messages with Scripture and ask how institutional priorities become spiritual expectations. Who determines what faithful Christian service should look like? What room is left for different gifts, circumstances, and callings? And what happens when following Christ becomes entangled with fulfilling a religious organization’s goals?

    “I say this for your own benefit, not to lay any restraint upon you, but to promote good order and to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord.” — 1 Corinthians 7:35 ESV

  • Sacrifice for the System | When Missions Giving Becomes Spiritual Abuse – SPECIAL LIVE

    In this Grace Escape LIVE special, we examine Josh Herring’s “The Uncomfortable Church” sermon at POA and ask when biblical generosity crosses the line into spiritual coercion. We look at how passages about Barnabas, Ananias and Sapphira, sacrificial giving, revival, family salvation, and “God giving you a number” are used to make an institutional financial decision feel like obedience to God. Along the way, we open the passages Josh did not, compare similar giving appeals from other Pentecostal preachers, and ask what Scripture actually says about voluntary giving, conscience, and compulsion. The issue is not generosity or missions, it is what happens when fear, divine authority, and promised spiritual outcomes are attached to how much money you give.Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. - 2 Corinthians 9:7 ESV

  • Pastor Twists Scripture to Defend Loud Pentecostal Prayer | Nathan Holmes - EDITED SPECIAL

    This is an edited repost of our original LIVE examining Nathan Holmes’ “No Quiet Prayers” message from First Pentecostal Church of North Little Rock (FPCNLR).After the original episode aired, FPCNLR filed copyright complaints against the program, including a scheduled YouTube takedown. We removed the original upload before a copyright strike was placed on our channel.That removal was not an admission of copyright infringement. We believed then, and continue to believe, that our use of sermon excerpts for criticism, commentary, and biblical analysis was fair use. This version further reduces and alters the presentation of FPCNLR’s source material. Our commentary and conclusions have not changed.Want to watch Nathan Holmes’ original sermon uninterrupted? Please watch it directly on FPCNLR’s channel:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNjcFArIjqkIn this episode, we examine the claim that there is “no time for quiet prayers,” the Scriptures used to support it, and what those passages actually say in context.Our purpose isn’t to rebroadcast sermons. It’s to examine them.— Justin & TiffanyGrace Escape Podcast

  • Pastor Twists Scripture to Defend Loud Pentecostal Prayer | Nathan Holmes – LIVE SPECIAL

    What happens when a preacher takes a preferred style of prayer and turns it into a biblical standard for everybody else? In this LIVE special, we watch Nathan Holmes’ sermon “No Quiet Prayers” in sequence, pausing along the way to examine Hebrews 5, Acts 2, Hannah’s prayer, and the other passages used to connect fervency with volume, tears, exertion, miracles, and the moving of the Holy Spirit. Loud prayer can absolutely be biblical, but Scripture never makes loudness the test of sincere or effective prayer. Biblical prayer is not about generating enough intensity to break through to God; because of Christ, believers are already invited to draw near with confidence.But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. - Matthew 6:6 ESV

  • Did God Really Show You That? | How Pentecostal Preachers Twist Scripture – EP145

    We were taught that the Bible was the inspired, authoritative Word of God, but were we actually taught how to read and interpret it? In this episode, we examine what happens when pastors and believers bring private revelation, “rhema words,” personal experience, eisegesis, out-of-context teaching, and subjective impressions into Scripture, instead of allowing the text to speak for itself. We’ll play the preachers in their own words, open the passages they use, and ask one recurring question: Is that really how we should be reading and interpreting Scripture? And if you were taught these same habits in church, Sunday School, Bible studies, or your own devotional life, we hope this episode helps you begin testing everything by God’s Word for yourself.

    Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth. - 2 Timothy 2:15 ESV

  • When Pastoral Authority Goes Too Far | Todd Nichols at The Rock Church – LIVE SPECIAL

    Todd Nichols preached two messages at The Rock Church in Elk Grove, that reveal a troubling view of pastoral authority: from turning Nehemiah’s enemies into a template for modern opposition to warning believers about getting a taste of “preacher blood.” In this LIVE special, we examine Nichols’ claims that only select leaders matter when it comes to hearing from God, that his only answer when his bishop speaks is “yes, sir,” and that this isn’t “cultish” but “apostolic alignment.” We also look at his use of Romans 13’s “sword,” his dismissal of “church hurt,” the striking contradiction over who owes whom an explanation, and similar warnings about criticizing pastoral leadership previously preached at The Rock Church. Rather than simply reacting to the rhetoric, we open Scripture and ask the question at the heart of this episode: What does the New Testament actually teach about the authority, and the limits, of pastors and spiritual leaders?


    Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood. - Acts 20:28 ESV

  • Did They Really "Preach" That?! | Pentecostal Camp Meetings 2026 – LIVE SPECIAL

    In this special LIVE edition, we had you join us as we worked through a stack of clips we collected from Oneness Pentecostal camp meetings and conferences over the summer. Some are funny, some are strange, and others raise much more serious questions about doctrine, pastoral authority, healing, the Holy Spirit, and what people are being told God requires. Rather than dismissing something just because it sounds unusual, we open Scripture and ask whether what was preached actually lines up with the Word. And as always, our goal isn’t to tell you what to think, it’s to encourage you to test everything for yourself.

    Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. - 2 Timothy 4:2 ESV
