What happens when a "national prophet" discovers she's been living a lie? In this powerful testimony, Dawn Hill shares her shocking 18-year journey inside the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) movement - from seeking God to being recognized as a prophet and featured in Charisma Magazine, and finally to her dramatic escape from spiritual abuse.

Dawn's story isn't just another "I left my church" testimony. She was deeply embedded in the NAR world, serving, writing prophetic blogs, and even being considered for Bible study projects with the controversial Passion Translation. Her insider perspective reveals the dangerous control tactics, twisted theology, and manipulative "honor culture" that keeps people trapped in these movements.

The turning point came during a service in February 2019 when her "apostle" misquoted Jesus. That moment of biblical clarity began Dawn's painful but necessary journey to freedom.

In this episode, we explore:

  • The difference between apostles and "Apostles"
  • How Word of Faith theology preys on biblical illiteracy
  • The dangerous "honor culture" that silences dissent
  • Warning signs of spiritual abuse in charismatic churches
  • How God's Word itself became the tool of Dawn's liberation
  • The courage it takes to leave everything you've known

Whether you're in a similar situation, know someone who is, or simply want to understand these movements better, Dawn's story offers both warning and hope. Sometimes the most loving thing we can do is call out deception - even when it costs us everything.

Content Warning: This episode discusses spiritual abuse and manipulation.
