  • Excellent work

    Thank you john, this podcast has helped me understand why and what I was deeply involved in for close to 13 years. The Lord delivered our family from NAR and shepherding movement cult in so cal. Thanks for all the historical evidence, it’s a big help!

  • Okay but not great

    This podcast is an example of a pendulum swing, moving away from one wayside of error, into another. Some episodes are gold, others are not good at all. Take heed how you listen.

  • A freeing tonic for a once chained follower

    This podcast does not only provide a clear picture of the “Message Church” and it’s origins but it is also an excellent resource for those still within the church seeking to know and understand how many of the pillars that hold up the message came to be.

    For any young and old follower who has been plagued with questions on doctrine you will find freedom in many of the topics discussed. Thank you for the work of the podcast team - your work has freed a great number of souls.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Leaving Hyper-Charismania: Mystica’s Journey Back to Biblical Truth
Q: How have your beliefs changed since your first conversation?
My beliefs are largely the same in grounding in scripture, but I shifted from a drive to expose to a focus on sharing the gospel, living humbly, and approaching others with compassion rather than confrontation.
Leaving Hyper-Charismania: Mystica’s Journey Back to Biblical Truth
Q: What would you say is the most unhealthy doctrine you left behind?
The most heart-breaking was the full preterism teaching, which claimed Jesus had already returned and that believers were living in a now-complete prophecy. It shattered expectations and made the future feel pointless, prompting a need to re-evaluate core beliefs.
Hebrew Roots and Pentecostalism: More Alike Than You Think
Q: How did the movement view church history and Catholicism, and what did that mean for you personally?
The discussion highlights a distrust of historical scholarship within the Hebrew Roots movement, a tendency to reject Catholic history as 'the devil's church,' and a cautionary note about how myths can shape identity, with the guest acknowledging learning from church history to see past conspiracy-style teachings.
Hebrew Roots and Pentecostalism: More Alike Than You Think
Q: What was it like being in the Hebrew Roots movement, from training to daily life?
She recounts experiences of worship, feasts, Sabbath observance, and community, followed by episodes where the deity of Christ was questioned within certain groups, leading to personal doubt, depressive experiences, and ultimately leaving the movement.
Hebrew Roots and Pentecostalism: More Alike Than You Think
Q: Maybe if you could begin by telling everybody a little bit about yourself.
Melissa describes her background growing up in Nebraska, her path into the Hebrew Roots movement around 2000, and her eventual departure in 2018, including the shift from a faith community focused on Torah to a realization that the core Gospel and the righteousness of Christ should be the foundation.
