  Stop Decoding with the News | How To Read The Book Of Revelation 14.09.2026 1t 2min

  How should we read the Book of Revelation? It's easy to write it off as the most confusing book in the Bible, with multiple viewpoints on how to interpret it. Joshua Lewis sits down with fellow co-host Michael Rowntree, author of the new book The World Made Right, to discuss the rules and perspective we should apply to apocalyptic literature (the genre Revelation belongs to). Michael says the moment we reach for a newspaper to decode Revelation, we've already misread it. ABOUT THE EPISODE: Mi...

  Skillet's John & Korey Cooper Reveal Church Abuse 10.09.2026 1t 25min

  Skillet's John and Korey Cooper just described spiritual abuse they endured at an NAR church. Unfortunately, their story shapes a pattern showing up in many churches across the country. Josh, Michael and Michael will speak with a former elder of the Cooper's church to understand what happened and learn how to better recognize spiritual abuse. ABOUT THIS EPISODE: John and Korey Cooper recently sat down for a long, detailed interview on Alisa Childers' YouTube channel (link to full episo...

  John Bevere Gets The Gospel Wrong, A Lot 08.09.2026 1t 19min

  John Bevere's "Under Cover" has sold close to half a million copies and shaped how a generation of churches views submission. In a previous episode, Joshua Lewis and Michael Miller discussed the dangers of the type of authority Bevere's book promotes (see link below). But does "Under Cover" also present a different Gospel? ABOUT THIS EPISODE Josh and Michael return to "Under Cover" to track how often the book confuses law and gospel, treating obedience as the source of faith and the gr...

  Two Kinds of Prophecy? The Rabbinic Bat Kol Explored 03.09.2026 51min

  Ask a first-century rabbi if biblical prophecy had ceased, and he'd say yes. Ask him if God still spoke, and he'd tell you about the Bat Kol. ABOUT THIS EPISODE: Josh, Michael and Michael explore the biblical case that prophecy operates at more than one level of authority. Scripture itself is uniquely inspired, infallible, and authoritative, while other genuine prophetic revelation can still occur without becoming Scripture. To explore this more, we turn to rabbinic Judaism and the fascinati...

  666, Digital ID & the Mark of the Beast: What Revelation Says | Michael Rowntree 31.08.2026 31min

  Can you take the mark of the beast by accident? Get it through an RFID chip? A vaccine? A barcode to buy and sell? It's a question that's kept believers concerned, especially with new technologies appearing. But most answers on the Internet start in the wrong place. Michael Rowntree starts in the Bible with Ezekiel and Deuteronomy. ABOUT THIS EPISODE Michael walks through Revelation 13:16–18, then follows it back to its Old Testament roots. His case: the mark of the beast was never a physica...

  How to Practice Tongues & Interpretation in Church, Biblically 27.08.2026 1t 17min

  A lot of churches either forbid tongues in public altogether or let them run with no interpretation and no order. Scripture never actually gives you those two options. So what does the Bible prescribe for the gift of tongues in church? ABOUT THIS EPISODE: Josh, Michael, and Michael sit down with the question that splits churches on both sides of the Word and Spirit divide: what does it actually look like to practice the gifts of tongues and interpretation, named together in 1 Corinthia...

  The Philosophy That Built the Liberal Mind: Descartes to Marx w/ Dr. Jordan Cooper 24.08.2026 1t 5min

  Why do we need a nuclear family? What actually determines the difference between a boy and a girl? These feel like brand-new questions, but the ideas that make them askable were actually seeded four hundred years ago. Dr. Jordan Cooper joins us to trace them back to their source. ABOUT THE EPISODE: Lutheran theologian and pastor Dr. Cooper walks Josh through the philosophical roots of the modern progressive mind and the broader philosophy of the left: Descartes and Cartesian doubt, Kan...

  Is Speaking in Tongues Biblical? Our Honest Take 20.08.2026 1t 14min

  A pastor pulls a college kid on stage, lays hands on him, tells him to "speak the holy language," and when nothing comes out, tells him his faith is weak. That's the true story that opens a recent Dial In Ministries episode on tongues. We're responding to their episode . . . and we agree with more of it than you'd expect. ABOUT THE EPISODE: Jonny Ardavanis and Hank Bowen make a solid biblical case that tongues in Acts and 1 Corinthians means real human languages, not gibberish or...

  History of Magical Arts in the Bible: Egypt & Mesopotamia 17.08.2026 1t 10min

  Pharaoh's magicians didn't fake it. Exodus 7 says they did the same thing Moses and Aaron did, "by their secret arts." So what does the Bible actually say is happening when magic works? ABOUT THE EPISODE: Nelly Van Sickle, pastor at Evergreen Calvary Chapel and creator of The Dancing Toaster Podcast joins Remnant Radio to walk through his "History of Magic" series, a biblical dig into where magic in the Bible actually comes from, starting in the ancient Near East with Egypt and Mesopotamia. ...

  Is Deuteronomy 18 the Test for Modern Prophets? 13.08.2026 1t 26min

  Deuteronomy 18 is the traditional chapter people reach for to test a prophet. But is Deut 18 the right test for the modern church? Or is it more nuanced for the New Covenant? Does modern prophecy in the local church operate the same? Josh, Michael, and Michael will examine Deut 18 together and explore whether this passage operates the same in the modern church as it did with Moses and a theocratic nation. 0:00 – Introduction 0:41 – Cessationist Video Response 4:30 – Reading Deuteronomy 18:1...

  What Happens When the Breakthrough Doesn't Come? | Dr. Craig Keener on Suffering 11.08.2026 1t 9min

  Have you ever prayed for a breakthrough that never came, and wondered what that says about your faith? Dr. Craig Keener, one of the most respected New Testament scholars, says we're only looking at half the story. He joins Remnant Radio to explore the theology of suffering - not as a theological afterthought for the Spirit-filled believer, but an essential part of the story Scripture actually tells. ABOUT THE EPISODE: Dr. Craig Keener, F.M. and Ada Thompson Professor of Biblical Studies at A...

  John Bevere's "Under Cover" | Biblical Authority or Spiritual Abuse? 06.08.2026 2t 25min

  What happens when submission to God quietly becomes submission to a leader? When questioning your pastor starts getting treated like questioning God? Those are the questions we're exploring as we review John Bevere's "Under Cover," one of the most widely read books on spiritual authority in the modern charismatic Church. We're holding up the book's conclusions against Hebrews 13, Romans 13, and what Jesus himself said about leaders exercising authority over believers. Does "Under Cover" hold...

  Kathryn Krick: Ignite Revival or False Fire? 04.08.2026 1t 22min

  At Kathryn Krick's Houston book signing for "Ignite Revival," over 200 people showed up. Attendees ended up on the floor, shaking, weeping and convulsing, while Krick kept signing copies of her book and called it "revival." Plenty of people online are calling it staged or coercive. Instead of responding to the experiences, Joshua Lewis and Michael Rowntree read the book itself. What they found was more like cultish language than Scripture-based teaching. Krick promotes a clear structure wher...

  Is Jesus Calling New Age? Examining the Claims 30.07.2026 1t 8min

  "Jesus Calling" has sold more than 50 million copies across its brand. It's been promoted by Christian leaders, shelved in bookstores and gift shops, and quoted from pulpits. A recent episode from Little Light Studios and Stephanie Griffin Ministries has raised a hard question about it: does this beloved devotional have New Age roots? Joshua Lewis and Michael Miller will explore the claims, call balls & strikes, and help you discern whether this is a book to have on your nightstand or no...

  Hell Debate Part 2: Paul Copan on Eternal Conscious Punishment 28.07.2026 1t 15min

  Is hell a divine torture chamber? Dr. Paul Copan says no, and he's the one defending the traditional view. In Part 2 of our Hell Debate series, the Palm Beach Atlantic University philosopher and co-editor of the forthcoming Concerning Hell makes the biblical case for eternal conscious punishment while giving annihilationism the fairest hearing you'll find anywhere. Fresh off Kirk Cameron's viral Hellgate roundtable, Copan and Joshua work through the texts, the caricatures, and the question un...

  Talking Past Each Other, Pt 2: Where the Real Debate Lives 25.07.2026 1t 4min

  A cessationist prays for a sick friend, and the friend recovers. He calls it answered prayer. A continuationist watches the same moment and calls it the gift of healing. Same event, same God, two labels. And that difference explains more about why this debate stalls than almost anything else. ABOUT THIS EPISODE: The conversation continues. In Part 1, Joshua Lewis and Michael Miller looked at how continuationists and cessationists end up misrepresenting each other: different theological strea...

  Hell Debate, Part 1: Chris Date Makes the Case for Annihilationism 23.07.2026 1t 40min

  What does the Bible actually say happens to the lost? Chris Date of ​Rethinking Hell joins the show to lay out the biblical case for annihilationism / conditional immortality, the view that the unsaved are resurrected, judged, and then die a second death rather than suffering consciously forever. ABOUT THE EPISODE: Chris spent his first years as a believer firmly convinced of eternal conscious torment, until an interview with the late Edward Fudge sent him back to the text. What followed was...

  Why Continuationists and Cessationists Keep Talking Past Each Other 16.07.2026 1t 5min

  Continuationists and cessationists spend a lot of time responding to one another, but how often is that response actually accurate? Joshua Lewis and Michael Miller explore the caricatures both sides fall into when talking about the gifts of the Spirit. ABOUT THIS EPISODE: Most debates about the gifts of the Spirit aren't really debates. They're two sides responding to a caricature of the other. Cessationists often get flattened as denying the supernatural altogether. Continuationists get pai...

  Cracking the Time Code: When Bad Greek Meets Bad Theology 13.07.2026 37min

  Heresy doesn't knock and announce itself. It shows up wearing just enough biblical language to sound credible. Joshua Lewis breaks down Cracking the Time Code by Candice Smithyman (Destiny Image, 2025), offering a robust scriptural critique that doubles as a lesson in how to spot the same patterns anywhere else you find them. Joshua's review traces how the book builds toward a word of faith framework, where your own faith produces blessing and protects against loss, and even extends into a c...

  Is Bethel Church Past the Point of No Return? 10.07.2026 35min

  There are still God-fearing, God-loving people attending Bethel Church. That's exactly what makes this episode hard to make. But in light of recent events, we have to ask: Have we reached the point of mark and avoid? This is a one-stop, 30-minute review of concerns with Bethel to see the patterns. ABOUT THIS EPISODE: Remnant Radio has kept an eye on Bethel for years - through the grave soaking scandal, through Bill Johnson's daughter-in-law describing the Holy Spirit as a "genie," through th...
