Corey Minor of the Smart Christians Channel recently posted a detailed response to Michael Miller's appearance on Deep End with Lecrae, challenging the biblical basis for generational curses and deliverance ministry. In this episode, the Remnant Radio team engages that critique directly with respect for Corey as a Christian brother and honest disagreement with his conclusions.

The core question on the table: Can believers be cursed? Can unbelievers? Is anyone born under a curse? And is the term "generational curse" even biblical language? The guys unpack the Hebrew words ārar, qālal, and ālāh, expose what they believe is an etymological fallacy at the heart of Corey's argument, and trace the theology of blessing and curse from Genesis 3 through the Deuteronomic covenant all the way to Galatians 3 and the new covenant promises of Jeremiah 31.

They also wrestle honestly with their own disagreements. Miller makes the case for demonic spirits traveling down family lines (citing Mark 9 and the demonized boy who'd suffered "since infancy"). Rowntree prefers the language of "generational consequences" over "generational curses." And Lewis draws a distinction between God as active agent vs. passive agent in the Deuteronomic curses -- with both Job and 1 Kings 22 shaping his thinking.

Part 2 is coming. The team still needs to address whether unbelievers can curse others, how curses actually operate metaphysically, and why not everyone in a family line seems to be equally affected.

What if the Church has been quietly erasing one of its most powerful practices for centuries, and we're paying for it right now?

The Remnant Radio welcomes Reverend David Miller, pastor of Church Tsidkenu, to unpack the hidden, and often deliberately suppressed, history of exorcism and deliverance ministry throughout church history. David is the author of Redacted, a three-year research project that traces deliverance from the early church fathers all the way to the 20th century. What he found is striking: deliverance and revival move together. And when one is removed, the other tends to collapse shortly after.

We walk through how the early church treated demonization as an assumed reality, how the medieval period saw a near-total collapse of effective exorcism, and how the Reformation ironically helped birth the modern assumption that Christians cannot have demons. David argues this isn't ancient orthodoxy. It's a pendulum swing traceable to John Calvin's polemical response to Catholic abuses, and it spread from there.

We also dig into the Azusa Street controversy. David makes a compelling case that Charles Parham's now-maligned critique of the revival wasn't racial antagonism, but rather a legitimate spiritual diagnosis. Bizarre manifestations, moral fractures among leaders, and the systematic exclusion of deliverance from the revival's framework all point to something darker than the standard Pentecostal narrative admits.

We close with the 20th-century resurgence of deliverance through figures like Derek Prince, Win Worley, Frank Hammond, and others. We discuss which schools of thought are most helpful for someone brand new to this ministry. 

If you've been frustrated by a church culture that either dismisses deliverance ministry or refuses to confront the abuses of it, this episode is for you.

Warning: Not everything that looks like the Holy Spirit is the Holy Spirit - and the Church needs to know the difference!

Healings, prophecies, tongues, signs, and wonders are on the rise in the Church, but so is deception. We have to ask: Can the demonic actually counterfeit the gifts of the Holy Spirit? In this episode, we explore Scripture, church history, and theology to give you a serious, grounded answer.

From the sorcerers of Pharaoh's court mimicking the miracles of Moses (Exodus 7:11–12), to the witch of Endor who brings up Samuel from the dead (1 Samuel 28), to the slave girl in Philippi whose spirit of divination produced accurate prophecy (Acts 16:16–18), the Bible is remarkably frank that the enemy is in the business of imitation. Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14), and his servants are no different.

Working through passages like Deuteronomy 13, Acts 16:16-18, Matthew 7:21-23, 2 Thessalonians 2:9-11, and 1 John 4:1-3, the guys walk through a biblical framework for discernment. Doctrine matters. But so does character, track record, submission to a local body, and the spiritual gift of discernment of spirits. 

They also wrestle with one of the strangest categories in Scripture: unbelievers who traffic in real spiritual power. Balaam. Caiaphas. The judges. The slave girl in Philippi who prophesied accurate things by a python spirit. What do we do with that? The answer isn't to run from the supernatural, but rather to pursue maturity so you can recognize the real thing.

The goal isn't fear. It's discernment. Moses didn't stop demonstrating God's power just because Pharaoh's magicians could mimic a few signs. And the church today shouldn't either. We pursue the genuine. We hold it up against the false. And we trust that Yahweh is still greater than the gods of Egypt.

Did you know the Bible has thousands of hidden threads woven through it that most Christians have never been shown? There are approximately 350 direct Old Testament quotations in the New Testament, but over 3,000 allusions - indirect references scholars have documented that never made it into study Bibles.

Dr. Benjamin Gladd, executive director of the Carson Center for Theological Renewal at The Gospel Coalition joins the show to talk about Connecting Scripture, a unique, first-of-its-kind study Bible he co-authored with G.K. Beale, that makes exploring these threads possible for the everyday Christian.

This isn't just a study Bible upgrade. It's a whole new way of reading. Ben explains the difference between a direct quotation - those flashing red lights moments like "that it might be fulfilled" - and an allusion, which functions more like an Easter egg hidden in the text. Think of John 1:1 ("In the beginning was the Word") deliberately echoing Genesis 1:1.

We also get into some of the harder questions. What do you do when the New Testament seems to use the Old Testament in ways that invert or even contradict the original meaning? And how did the Apostles read the Scriptures? Did the Old Testament authors actually know what they were writing?

This episode is the kind of biblical theology content that feeds your soul and sharpens your mind. Don't miss it.

Are most, if not all, unbelievers demonized? It sounds extreme. But Scripture might be less ambiguous about this than the modern church wants to admit.

Most Christians default to one picture when they hear the word "demonized" - the Gadarene demoniac from Mark 5, a naked man in the tombs, chains broken, screaming at Jesus. That's a level 10. But the Bible describes demonic influence across a spectrum, and the passages we tend to skip suggest that every person outside of Christ is somewhere on it.

Paul says the "god of this age" has blinded the minds of unbelievers (2 Corinthians 4:4). He describes Satan as the spirit actively at work in "the sons of disobedience" (Ephesians 2:2). John writes that "the whole world lies in the power of the evil one" (1 John 5:19). And in 1 Corinthians 10, Paul makes the explicit connection between idol worship and demon worship, which means that since everyone worships something before coming to Christ, no one gets a pass.

This isn't a fringe charismatic idea. It's the Bible's own framework for understanding the spiritual condition of the lost. And if it's true, it changes everything: how we pray, how we evangelize, and what it means to walk someone out of darkness and into the kingdom.

In this episode, we examine the biblical case and ask the most important follow-up question: what should believers actually be doing about it?

What happens when a charismatic prophet's own documented words contradict each other repeatedly, across years, in print and on video? Joshua Lewis and Michael Rowntree bring independent researcher Joshua Harris onto Remnant Radio to walk through the cumulative case on Jeremiah Johnson: prophetic inconsistency, documented plagiarism, and a pattern that the body of Christ needs to weigh carefully.

Joshua Harris has spent months building a documented, timestamped case across multiple categories, and what he found goes far deeper than one bad prophecy or one misremembered detail. 

This is the one-stop episode on everything regarding the allegations against Jeremiah Johnson: false prophecy, plagiarism, fabricated testimony, and what a leaked leadership meeting reveals about how Jeremiah is spinning the narrative behind closed doors.

What if your theology of deliverance has blind spots you haven't considered yet? Joshua Lewis, Michael Rowntree, and Michael Miller consider some provocative ideas about how the demonic operates, and then push back on each other to find solid ground.

This is theology done with friends around a table. Not from a pulpit. These are hot takes, not finished doctrines - and that's the point.

If you've ever felt theologically homeless between 'demons don't exist' and unaccountable, hyper-charismatic excess, this episode was made for you.

What if the altar call you attended wasn't from God at all? And what if the spirit being imparted had nothing to do with the Holy Spirit? These aren't hypothetical questions, they're the testimonies of real believers who've come to us with real experiences.

Joshua Lewis has spent over five years wrestling with an uncomfortable question: can a Christian receive a demonic impartation from a false teacher? In this episode, he lays out the biblical case, engages the hard testimonies, and refuses to give an easy answer, because the scriptures don't offer one.

The goal of this episode isn't to make you afraid of every altar call. It's to make you fluent enough in the true gospel that you can tell the real thing from a counterfeit. Because the shield isn't fear -- it's the gospel itself. Know it well enough to recognize when someone is preaching another Jesus, another spirit, another gospel (2 Corinthians 11:4). That discernment could be the thing that keeps you free.

Millions of people just got a deep-dive on demonic oppression, generational curses, and exorcism from a Catholic exorcist on one of the biggest podcasts in America. We're taking a look at the conversation and seeing how these practices line-up with Scripture.

Father Chad Ripperger is a Roman Catholic priest, theologian, philosopher, and exorcist serving in the Archdiocese of Denver, and founder of the Society of the Most Sorrowful Mother, a religious community dedicated to spiritual warfare, deliverance ministry, and traditional Catholic liturgy. His recent appearance on the Shawn Ryan Show wasn't a fringe internet moment, but drew millions of viewers. 

The episode covered generational curses, ancestral spirits, and the structure of the demonic realm. Some of what Ripperger teaches resonates with Scripture, while some of it raises real questions worth reviewing. 

We'll look at what the Bible actually says about this, where Catholic and Protestant deliverance ministries share common ground, and where they don't.

COLLABORATION: This episode was produced and hosted by the Wake Up and Win Podcast in collaboration with Mike Winger, Stephen Powell, and Michael Miller with Remnant Radio.

Pastor Jake Kail publicly acknowledged that the scandal surrounding Jeremiah Johnson's plagiarism and false prophecies had merit. In a leaked call, the pastors network out of the North Georgia Revival responded with cover-up culture, siding with Jeremiah Johnson and rebuking Jake. Mike Winger, Blaise Foret, Michael Miller and Stephen Powell review this call and respond to why Jake Kail's post was biblical, according to 1 Timothy 5:20.
