  Is Spiritual Power Earned or Given? Jon Thompson of Sanctus Church 30.09.2026 1ч 32мин

  Most of us have asked God for more power. Pastor Jon Thompson wants to know when you last asked God what you DON'T get. Jon has spent nearly three decades on staff at Sanctus Church in Toronto. Along the way he led a functionally cessationist congregation into spiritual gifts, spiritual disciplines, and a three-year season of renewal. So when he says "God's 'no' is your best friend," it isn't a slogan. It comes from a close reading of Romans 12:3 and the "measure" God assigns to every gift. ...

  The Antichrist Explained - The Wound, Death & Resurrection | Michael Rowntree 28.09.2026 50мин

  A generation raised on Left Behind was told to watch for a world leader who survives a fatal head wound and rises from the dead. Revelation 13 really does describe a death and a resurrection. But whose death? And when? ABOUT THE EPISODE: Joshua Lewis and Michael Rowntree pick up part two of our 'Who is the Antichrist?' conversation and work through the beast, the wound, and what John wants the church to expect. We Explore: - Where the "Antichrist rises from the dead" idea comes from in Reve...

  Speaking in Tongues in Public? What Does the Bible Say? 25.09.2026 1ч 19мин

  Michael Rowntree recently posted a short addressing Deion Sanders speaking in tongues at a press conference, and pointed to Paul's instruction that tongues shouldn't be spoken in the congregation with an unbeliever present unless an interpreter is there too, so the unbeliever isn't left thinking you've lost your mind (1 Corinthians 14:23, 14:27-28). Comments came fast: isn't there a difference between tongues spoken publicly in a church service and a private prayer language used to bui...

  Answering Your Law & Gospel Questions | Jon Moffitt with Theocast 22.09.2026 2ч 1мин

  After our episode on John Bevere getting the gospel wrong (https://youtu.be/FXXvRTiLNbQ) blew up in the comments, one argument kept coming back: doesn't the Bible say your obedience keeps you saved? So we called in Theocast's Jon Moffitt to answer your questions. ABOUT THE EPISODE: Joshua Lewis and Jon Moffitt go straight into the texts people cited: Romans 8, Matthew 7, Matthew 19, James 2, John 15, and Galatians 3 and 5. They give a verse-by-verse case that Christ's finished work is what s...

  Who Is the Antichrist? What the Book of Revelation Actually Says | Michael Rowntree 21.09.2026 59мин

  Everyone loves to speculate about who the Antichrist is, but the word "antichrist" never once appears in the book of Revelation. So where did our mental picture of him actually come from, and does Scripture back it up? ABOUT THE EPISODE: Most of what we think about the Antichrist comes from pop culture, not Scripture. So what does the Bible say? Joshua Lewis interviews fellow co-host Michael Rowntree in part 3 of our Revelation series. Together, they work through 1 John, 2 Thessalonians 2, D...

  Can Demons Prophesy? A Biblical Answer from Scripture & Church History 19.09.2026 16мин

  What if the prophecy that came true wasn't from God at all? Scripture says that not only is that possible, but it's happened before. And, it's happening now. How can you tell the difference? ABOUT THE EPISODE: Michael Rowntree tackles the question, "Can demons prophesy?" The answer matters because it changes how prophecy gets practiced, interpreted, and discerned. Starting with King Saul's unsettling character arc across 1 Samuel 10, 18, and 19, Michael traces how the same Hebrew word...

  Is the Pastor Supposed to Be a Trainer? Examining Ephesians 4:11-12 17.09.2026 1ч 2мин

  Everyone agrees Christians are supposed to serve. The question this episode asks is different: did we accidentally turn the pastor into a trainer instead of a minister, and is that even biblical? Who should actually be ministering? ABOUT THIS EPISODE: Joshua Lewis, Michael Miller, and Michael Rowntree examine T. David Gordon's 1994 ETS paper (link below) that Ephesians 4:11-12 has been misread for decades. Gordon doesn't question whether ordinary Christians should serve. He questions whether...

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

  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 1ч 24мин

  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 1ч 18мин

  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 50мин

  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 30мин

  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 1ч 16мин

  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 1ч 4мин

  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 1ч 13мин

  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 1ч 9мин

  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 1ч 25мин

  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 1ч 8мин

  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 2ч 24мин

  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 1ч 21мин

  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...
