The focal point of the current discourse is an incisive examination of Bill Johnson's theological assertions as presented in his book, *When Heaven Invades Earth*. The host, Andrew Rappaport, along with his guest, Adam Parker, strives to elucidate the implications of Johnson's teachings, particularly concerning the nature of divine power within the Christian experience. They delve into the potential dangers associated with prioritizing experiential manifestations of power over scriptural authority, raising critical questions about the legitimacy of such beliefs. The conversation also explores the broader ramifications of these theological constructs within the context of the Bethel movement and its impact on contemporary Christian thought. Listeners are encouraged to engage with this pivotal dialogue, which seeks not only to challenge prevailing notions but also to foster a deeper understanding of the interplay between faith, scripture, and experience in the life of believers.

Takeaways:

• In this episode of Apologetics Live, Andrew Rappaport and Adam Parker explore the theological implications of Bill Johnson's book 'When Heaven Invades Earth', emphasizing the necessity of grounding experiences in Scripture rather than allowing personal experiences to dictate theological understanding.
• The hosts argue that when power becomes the measure of legitimacy in the Christian life, Scripture is subordinated, leading to a distorted view of God and the Gospel that emphasizes miraculous experiences over sound doctrine and biblical authority.
• Adam Parker shares his concern that the Bethel movement prioritizes miraculous manifestations as the standard for normal Christianity, which can lead to spiritual abuse and a misunderstanding of the nature of Jesus' humanity and divinity.
• The discussion highlights the dangers of conflating personal experiences with biblical truth, asserting that true Christian maturity is defined by the fruit of the Spirit rather than the pursuit of miraculous signs and wonders.

What do you say to someone who understands Christianity… but just isn’t convinced it’s true?

This week’s episode is different.

George was invited onto Apologetics Live, a national call-in show, where an atheist named Landon joined the conversation. What followed wasn’t just a debate—it was a real, unscripted moment where worldviews collided.

Landon didn’t come with hostility. In fact, he grew up in a strong Christian home, served in church, and knew the faith well. But today? He simply says: “I’m not convinced it’s true.”

So how do you respond?

You’ll hear:

• A thoughtful apologetics approach to the “best explanation” argument
• George’s relational response using the Exchange method
• The tension between evidence and experience
• The moment the conversation shifts from arguments… to the heart

And ultimately, the question that matters most:

Do you actually know Jesus?

This episode will challenge how you think about evangelism—and show you what it looks like to engage someone in real time when the stakes are eternal.

REPLAY:

What is Theonomy and what is a basic definition of it? What does Deuteronomy 4:5-8 say and how does it apply to us today? On today's program I play and review several clips from a recent Pastors Talk episode produced by 9Marks. The hosts, Jonathan Leeman and Mark Dever, interview Carl Trueman about his most recent book, The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self. Although the book and the interview are excellent, a few comments are made about theonomy that are worth bringing up. The men raise several straw men arguments regarding theonomy before knocking them down, seemly misunderstanding what theonomy actually teaches.

Justin Peters exposes more contradictions in Gabe Poirot’s “18 Days in Heaven” claims. Poirot told Pastor Alan Jackson he saw no angels in heaven, yet described shiny seraphim with eyes everywhere on Sid Roth’s show. His book mentions witnessing fallen angels, angelic pathways, and being transported by angels.

On the recent Blurry Creatures podcast, Poirot called Moses a tough “Middle Eastern lumberjack.” Earlier, with Joseph Z, he portrayed Moses as weak, emaciated, and insignificant.

Peters warns that habitual lying about heaven reveals an unregenerate heart. He urges repentance like Alex Malarkey, and shares the gospel: salvation through faith in Christ’s cross.

If faith is treated as a tool to produce outcomes, it inevitably collapses under the weight of unmet expectations. But Scripture never presents faith as control. Faith does not move God. Faith trusts God. It submits to His will, rests in His wisdom, and endures under His timing. The moment faith becomes something we use to “activate” results, we have shifted from trusting God to trying to manage Him.

In this episode, we press into the heart of the issue: faith is not about getting God to act. It is about remaining steadfast when He doesn’t act the way we expect. True faith is not measured by visible breakthrough, but by quiet perseverance. It is the kind of faith that says, “Even if He does not,” I will still trust Him. That is the faith Scripture calls us to, and that is the faith that endures.
