Grace Escape

In this episode, we are looking at another round of wild, strange, and deeply questionable things Pentecostal preachers say and do. From a prayer log being treated like a spiritual relic, to creepy “spiritual daughter” language, to money pressure, and pulpit chaos, we are asking whether these things are actually biblical or just something we were trained to call “anointed” and “Pentecostal”. We also talk about how easily mysticism, manipulation, greed, and lack of self-control can get dressed up in church language. More importantly, we want to encourage anyone who has started noticing the weirdness and wondering if they are allowed to question it. Scripture tells us to test everything, recognize fruit, and hold fast to what is good, and that includes what comes from a Pentecostal pulpit.

Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits. - Matthew 7:15-16 ESV

In this episode, we are looking at another round of wild, strange, and deeply questionable things Pentecostal preachers say and do. From a prayer log being treated like a spiritual relic, to creepy “spiritual daughter” language, to money pressure, recorded bishop soundbites, and pulpit chaos, we are asking whether these things are actually biblical or just something we were trained to call “anointed.” We also talk about how easily mysticism, manipulation, greed, and lack of self-control can get dressed up in church language. More importantly, we want to encourage anyone who has started noticing the weirdness and wondering if they are allowed to question it. Scripture tells us to test everything, recognize fruit, and hold fast to what is good — and that includes what comes from a Pentecostal pulpit.

Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits. - Matthew 7:15-16 ESV

In this episode, we continue last week’s conversation about why modern church buildings are not the “house of God”, by looking at what happens when sacred-building theology gets tied to millions of dollars in debt. We examine how pastors frame expansion projects as vision, prophecy, revival, and obedience, while the saints are left carrying the financial burden through pressure, maxed-out credit cards, and years of giving. We also look at the way some recent debt-free announcements are celebrated as though “God did it,” while the actual people who paid the price are barely acknowledged. We are asking whether this looks like the New Testament church or like spiritualized financial abuse. Jesus is not building His church through man-made empires. His church is His people.

And he said, ‘I will do this: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. - Luke 12:18 ESV

In Oneness Pentecostalism, the church building is often treated as far more than a place to gather.

It becomes the “House of God,” the place where God supposedly moves, restores, pours out His Spirit, calls people, and meets with His people in a special way. In this episode, we look at the language, clips, and Scripture surrounding sacred church buildings, altar dependence, “don’t miss the move” fear, and the idea that some churches are special epicenters of revival. Incidentally, the New Testament tells a very different story: God does not dwell in buildings made by human hands; He dwells in His people.

So today we’re asking one simple question: what if God never left you?

What kind of house will you build for me, says the Lord, or what is the place of my rest? Did not my hand make all these things?’ - Acts 7:49-50 ESV

This Mother’s Day, we’re having a complicated conversation on Grace Escape: the role and culture  surrounding the modern “First Lady.” In many Pentecostal churches, these pastor wives carry enormous pressure, influence, responsibility, and emotional weight behind the scenes, often while quietly suffering themselves. But we also take an honest look at the very real spiritual, emotional, and relational damage that can happen through manipulation, guilt, soft control, and celebrity-style church culture. From luxury gifts and leadership hierarchy, to loneliness, burnout, and impossible expectations, we’re looking at a role that can deeply affect both church members and the women living inside it. Our hope is to bring clarity, validation, compassion, and ultimately freedom to anyone who has been hurt by unhealthy religious systems.

But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. - Mark 10:43-44 ESV

Holiness is one of the most talked about, and most misunderstood, concepts in high-control church systems. For many, it became a visible checklist of rules rather than a work of the Holy Spirit. In this episode, we walk through how holiness is taught in Oneness Pentecostalism, how it was defined under the Old Covenant, and what actually changed under the New. We unpack key Scriptures often used to support external standards and compare them with what the New Testament really says about transformation. Our goal is to help you see that biblical holiness isn’t something you achieve, it’s something God produces in you.

For I am the Lord your God. Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am holy. - Leviticus 11:44 ESV

What is fundamentalism?  And does it describe Apostolic Pentecostalism? 

In this episode, we define the term clearly, as we walk through how it has shifted from protecting core doctrine to building systems that draw hard lines around who is “in” and who is “out.” We connect the dots between fundamentalism and legalism, showing how one creates the environment for the other to thrive. Along the way, we ask honest questions about Oneness Pentecostalism and whether its structure reflects this modern definition. Most importantly, we point back to the gospel and remind you that your standing with God is built on Christ alone, not a system.

For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. - Romans 10:3-4 ESV

In this episode, we’re exposing how legalism is often redefined from the pulpit, typically so it can be rejected in name, while still being practiced in reality. We break down real sermon clips and examine how language around grace, holiness, and obedience can subtly shift from freedom into pressure. Using Scripture from Galatians and Colossians, we show how legalism isn’t just about earning salvation, it’s also about trying to maintain your standing with God through performance. We also address common arguments that confuse biblical obedience with man-made standards, and why that distinction matters. This conversation is meant to bring clarity where there’s been confusion, and to point you back to the freedom and assurance found in what Christ has already finished.

Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? - Galatians 3:3 ESV

We keep hearing this phrase in Pentecostal services: “let’s entertain the presence of the Lord”… but what does that actually mean? In this LIVE episode, we break down portions of the IBC Music Fest 2026, and expose the theology behind this kind of language. Is God’s presence something we have to create, sustain, or “not lose”… or is that an Old Covenant idea creeping into New Covenant worship? We’ll walk through what Scripture actually says about God’s presence, how emotional worship environments reinforce this belief, and why this teaching quietly puts pressure back on you. If you’ve ever felt like it was your job to “entertain” God or His presence, join us for some clarity, and a whole lot of relief.
