In this first episode of the Lightbulb Ministries Podcast, Richard Moore, Rick Becker, and Daniel Long take aim at the popular but unbiblical idea that God wakes you up at 3:00 a.m. to give you fresh revelations, prophetic downloads, or mystical visions. We’ll expose the roots of this teaching, compare it with Scripture, and show why it’s more superstition than sound doctrine.

In this episode, we’re joined by Jesse Westwood—a former Betel insider who spent three years at the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry. Jesse walks us through exactly what he was taught about the gospel at Bethel. If you’ve ever wondered what kind of “good news” is being preached in Redding, this conversation will open your eyes.

Anointing talk runs rampant in Charismatic circles. But is it biblical? In this episode, we compare what some of the most popular Charismatic voices say about “the anointing” with what the Bible actually teaches. Is the anointing something you chase? Can you lose it? Is it transferable? Or is the truth far more grounded—and far more comforting—for those who are in Christ?

The roots of deception in Mercy Culture run deep. In this episode, my guest, Pablo Marte, and I discuss the poisonous prophetic tree of Mercy Culture.

From unbiblical teachings to manipulative practices, we discuss the reasons why Mercy Culture poses a danger to the body of Christ and should be marked and avoided.

Join us as we explore Jimmy Swaggart's life, from humble beginnings to wealth and star status, to scandalous collapse. His story is a cautionary tale to embrace humility and accountability in ministry.

Is David Diga Hernandez really teaching biblical Christianity—or is he just packaging the same old Word of Faith heresies in a more appealing, emotionally restrained format? In this video, we examine Hernandez’s background, theology, and public teachings to reveal a troubling alignment with the core doctrines of the Word of Faith movement. From prosperity-lite messages to claims of supernatural healing, we show how his teachings are far from sound doctrine, no matter how calm or polished the delivery may be.

The megachurch didn’t just appear out of nowhere—it has a long and tangled history that stretches all the way back to the First Great Awakening. In this episode, we're joined by Steve Kozar of The Messed Up Church as we trace the roots of this modern-day monster, exposing how emotionalism, revivalism, and entertainment have slowly replaced biblical preaching and faithful pastoral care. If you've ever wondered where the madness of the megachurch came from, you won’t want to miss this.

According to John Bevere, God speaks to him regularly—and he makes sure his audience knows it. But what’s even more concerning is his claim that God commands him to write certain books. If that’s true, we have to ask: are these just books… or new revelation? In this video, we’ll show you the evidence—and let you decide if John Bevere is simply promoting his brand, or elevating his words to the level of Scripture.

My guest, Chuck Lewis, grew up in the Word of Faith Movement. Over and over again, he was told that if he just had enough faith, he would be healed. But the healing never came. Now an Assemblies of God pastor, Chuck is speaking out — warning others about the empty promises, dangerous teachings, and false hope that define the Word of Faith Movement. In this interview, he shares his powerful story of disappointment, spiritual abuse, and ultimately, freedom in Christ.
