In this brief episode, Esther and Elizabeth say goodbye after a great third season! They update you on what's coming in season four and when, and where to find them during the break.

Is manifesting bad? Is the Law of Attraction compatible with scripture? What is the link between word of faith and prosperity gospel? What kinds of things open up doors to the demonic?

In this episode, Esther and Elizabeth interview the brilliant ex-New Ager, Melissa Dougherty to go through the deep details about how these pagan, demonic and dangerous practices are infiltrating the church.

They discuss how the evil one deceives many by using popular teaching + even mainstream pastors to distort scripture to propagate New Age ideologies. Join us as we turn the lights on all things concerning the universe, new thought, new age, divine power + the demonic and why all of this matters.

Can we trust the origins of the Bible? How can we know we have the whole, true Bible?

In this catalytic second episode with renowned writer and speaker Samuel Sey, we go deeper into the nuances of CRT + Anti-Racism.

Sey discusses broken family units, and the true cause of disparity between black people and white people in the USA. He shares more of his story and experience as a black man, and as the son of a single mother and immigrant in North America. In true form, all the hot-button issues in racial reconciliation are held under the lens of scripture and the gospel.

This episode is FIRE and we can’t wait for you to be as floored as we were in our conversation with Samuel Sey!

What is anti-racism? What is critical race theory? What is racism? And most importantly, how do believers understand these terminologies and issues in light of scripture?

Join Esther and Elizabeth as they welcome renowned blogger and speaker, Samuel Sey for an in depth discussion on the topics of race. Samuel eloquently equips Christ followers to compare our culture's understanding of racism with the biblical definition of injustice and favoritism. Listeners can expect to walk away from this episode with a renewed mind and a greater conviction for the sin of racism as well as a clearer picture on disconnects between God's word and modern day anti-racism.

We are BACK with prophetic scholar Amir Tsarfati in his BEST episode yet, to look at more of your questions about the End Times.

This episode covers the two main schools of thought about the Millennial Kingdom: Pre-millennialist + Amillennial theology. We consider:
•Will Jesus will have a literal reign on earth? What does the Bible actually say about it?

•What happens to Christians during the tribulation?

•What is “kingdom now” theology and how is it different from manifestations of the Holy Spirit on earth now?

•Where is deception occurring and what role of influence does our beloved charismatic church play?

•Why is there confusion around the sequence of events?

•How can we *know* what is true, based on scripture. What should we look for next?

There is a lot to be said and while we can’t be exhaustive we hope to at least keep you tethered to both New and Old Testament, and the clear words of Jesus to help clarify. Finally Esther offers some of the key arguments in scripture and logic that have informed our conclusions. And of course, why eschatological theology MATTERS!

In troubling times, people want to know what will happen next! So we enlisted Amir Tsarfati (a Messianic Jewish scholar from Israel) and expert who has spent decades studying Biblical prophesies and texts about the END TIMES. We caught up with Amir mid-global tour to ask WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY regarding these controversial and critical questions:

What is the role of Israel in the End Times? Does God’s covenant with the Israeli people and the land still matter today? Are we in the End Times? How do we know? What will happen next? Will there be a rapture? Why or why not? Is the rapture a modern concept? Do only Western Evangelicals believe in the rapture?

In this Part 1, we’ll also discuss the Antichrist, the chronology of events, significant Biblical prophesies, AND the reasons why Tsarfati thinks Jesus will be returning sooner than you think!
