  History of Magical Arts in the Bible: Egypt & Mesopotamia 17.08.2026 1h 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 1h 25min

  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 1h 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 2h 24min

  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 1h 21min

  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 1h 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 1h 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 1h 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 1h 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 1h 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 36min

  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...

  The Hidden Structure That Explains All of Daniel | Dr. Jim Hamilton 08.07.2026 1h 5min

  You were probably taught to read Daniel like a codebook with beasts to identify, timelines to chart, and an Antichrist to spot. Dr. Jim Hamilton thinks the church has been missing the point, and he makes a compelling case that the key to Daniel's strangest visions is hiding in the stories of chapters 1–6. ABOUT THE EPISODE: Dr. Jim Hamilton, professor of biblical theology at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and senior pastor of Kenwood Baptist Church, joins Joshua Lewis to walk thro...
• 
  Fivefold Injustice: Debunking Emma Stark's New Doctrine 06.07.2026 1h 40min

  Is it wrong to publicly name a false teacher, or is staying quiet the real problem? Emma Stark of the Global Prophetic Alliance recently released a video arguing that exposure ministries are "measuring fruit in hopelessness," and that real biblical justice can only be administered through a five-fold ministry structure where prophets alone have the authority to remove someone's spiritual credibility. Joshua Lewis and Michael Miller go clip by clip through her argument. ABOUT THE EPISODE: Whe...
• 
  Did the Inquisition Murder All the Psychics? 02.07.2026 19min

  Joe Rogan's latest viral guest claims the Catholic Church genetically eliminated psychic ability from humanity through the Inquisitions. But is that true? ABOUT THIS EPISODE: Joe Rogan recently hosted Dr. Dean Radin, chief scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, to discuss his "psi gene" theory. During the interview, Radin claimed that the Catholic Inquisitions systematically targeted and killed people with a genetic predisposition for psychic ability, effectively removing that trait ...

  Simony, Money, and Ministry: Where Scripture Draws the Line 01.07.2026 1h 4min

  What is simony? And where do you draw the line? Here at Remnant Radio, we do sell courses and conferences teaching people about the gifts of the spirit. We want to be honest and upfront about that, and it's exactly why we're discussing simony in this episode. We want to examine whether what we do holds up under Scripture. ABOUT THIS EPISODE: The word "simony" comes from Acts 8, when Simon Magus tried to purchase the power of the Holy Spirit and Peter answered him: "May your money peris...

  Was America Founded on Faith? Dr. Ben Carson 26.06.2026 44min

  Was America's founding a genuinely Christian project, or has that idea been read backward into history by people who want it to be true? Dr. Ben Carson, famed neurosurgeon, former U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and founder of the American Cornerstone Institute, joins Joshua Lewis to make the case that the founders' faith wasn't incidental to the American project, but was foundational to it. ABOUT THE EPISODE: Carson walks through the well-known stories: George Washington's ...

  Prophecy, Words of Knowledge & Evangelism with JonMark Baker | Minor Prophets Podcast 23.06.2026 57min

  Can a prophetic word reach someone an argument never could? What if the most effective evangelism tool in Scripture is a detail about someone that only God could have known? JonMark Baker of the Minor Prophets Podcast joins Remnant Radio to talk about the gift of prophecy and words of knowledge as on-mission tools for evangelism. ABOUT THIS EPISODE: We live in a culture that's heard plenty of arguments for God and built a callus against most of them. Apologetics still matters. But what do y...
• 
  Did Protestant Reformers Believe in Spiritual Gifts? Luther, Calvin, Wesley & More 18.06.2026 20min

  Samuel Rutherford helped write the Westminster Confession. He also developed a four-part test for evaluating prophetic words. That's not a charismatic running loose, but a Westminster divine doing careful pastoral theology on the gifts. ABOUT THIS EPISODE: There's an assumption that the debate over spiritual gifts is a recent one: a 20th-century Pentecostal invention set against centuries of Reformation clarity. But the historical record tells a different story. John Knox was called "the pro...

  Deliverance, Baptism & Church History | Matthew Esquivel 16.06.2026 1h 19min

  The early church didn't just baptize new believers. They delivered them first. For the first several centuries of Christianity, exorcism wasn't a dramatic spectacle reserved for extreme cases. It was woven into the baptismal rite itself, practiced across traditions, and considered a normal part of welcoming someone into the body of Christ. Somewhere along the way, we forgot. ABOUT THIS EPISODE: Matthew Esquivel returns to Remnant Radio to walk us through overlooked chapters in church history...
