Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

New Age Is Old Age: Ancient Deception Repackaged in Modern Christian Language
Q: What was the hardest shift for you, moving from trusting spiritual experiences to submitting to scripture?
It was all but, I mean, God was the one who removed those obstacles. I couldn't have removed them by myself.
Armor of God, Biblical Spiritual Warfare with Doreen Virtue
Q: Can you tell us about this wonderful book that you've written, The Armor of God, Biblical Help for Spiritual Warfare?
In the book, I share my experiences and emphasize the importance of relying on Scripture for spiritual warfare, rather than on unbiblical deliverance practices.
Worshiptainment: When the Stage Replaces the Savior (w/ Matthew Everhard)
Q: What should they do about that? Should they stay? Should they go? Should they speak with the pastor?
They should first express their concern to their pastor kindly, then take formal steps if necessary. If unbiblical practices persist, they may need to consider leaving the church.
Worshiptainment: When the Stage Replaces the Savior (w/ Matthew Everhard)
Q: What would you say to pastors so they can do what Scripture says and guard the flock from these, you know, false teachings from Bethel, Hillsong, Elevation, and how they lead?
Music needs to be reformed according to the Word of God because our forefathers in the Reformation sought to reform both doctrine and worship practices, and both must align with Biblical teaching.
Out of Formation: Gary Gilley on the Spiritual Formation Movement
Q: How have you seen this movement shape modern Evangelicalism?
It influences a movement towards experience-based Christianity, making people gravitate towards methodologies that promise mystical experiences rather than focusing on biblical knowledge.
