With the recent developments surrounding Mike Winger's extensive video covering Shawn Bolz and Bethel's responses to the confirmed allegations and actions, there has been a mixture of responses and perspectives pertaining to Bethel and its leadership. While many are rightfully troubled and even angered at Bethel's lack of response to this situation, others are continuing to support and defend Bethel. Some are hopeful that Bethel will bring needed reform to their organization and that this is the starting point.

However, does this one act of seeming repentance fix the deep-seated issues that have produced a massive root system of false teaching and aberrant practices? My contention is that Bethel is indefensible and that though error has been acknowledged, this is merely the tip of the iceberg.

Join me as I present the reasons why Bethel is indefensible.

Online access to information has its benefits and drawbacks. Though we can obtain information at the touch of a button, we can also be influenced and misinformed as to spiritual matters. False teachers and false prophets have seemingly flourished online, and now that individuals are questioning such practices and teachings, they are experiencing the disadvantage of growing Biblical discernment. Now, some leaders are countering by calling "discernment ministries" gossips and slanderers, telling their followers to silence such people and to avoid them.

Join me as we look at some recent developments regarding specific leaders within this movement, and we consider the definitions of gossip and slander.

Katie Souza has taught some rather unorthodox teachings, and she has made some wild claims. From seeing werewolves and supernatural weight loss to engaging in alleged time travel, Souza has espoused teachings that are problematic and unbiblical. A recent video released featured her prophetic word about the culling that is coming to people and how one can defeat the spirit of death over aging, sickness, and financial lack. This begs the question: can we defeat the spirit of death?

Join me as we examine Katie Souza's teaching on defeating the spirit of death, and why we as Christians should not fear death.

2026 is here, and many who claim to be prophets and to hear directly from God are announcing their alleged prophetic words for all to hear. However, what did these individuals prophesy for 2025, and are they accurate? Are there tests that we can apply in order to test these words?

Join me as we examine and test alleged prophetic words from Mike Signorelli, a self-professing apostle and pastor, and we revisit his prophecies from 2025.

With the recent viral clip from Kirk Cameron's podcast about annihilationism, the internet has seemingly exploded with both disagreements and agreements surrounding this topic. Some are expressing concerns about Cameron agreeing with this topic and its ramifications for those who would hear the gospel and understand the severity of sin against God. Why is the belief in annihilationism of such a concern?

Join me, along with David Lovi, as we discuss this topic and how it pertains to the New Apostolic Reformation.

Though the New Apostolic Reformation was coined by one man, this movement has taken root globally and has multiple streams running into it, spanning for decades. The teachings dating back to the Latter Rain movement, Word of Faith and into the NAR have no partiality to geographical location, finding their way into many countries and into many churches.

Join Arpana Saladi and me for this discussion, as we look at examples of this movement in the country of India, and why this is a global matter and concern.

Bethel Church in Redding, California, is part of a global movement known as the New Apostolic Reformation. Their teachings and their music have been integral in perpetuating aberrant practices that are finding inroads into solid churches. Given their influence and popularity, it is important to recognize and to warn others about the influence of Bethel and the NAR.

Join us in this discussion regarding Doug Geivett and Holly Pivec's book, Reckless Christianity, as we consider these concerns.
