Longing For Truth

What does the Bible actually teach about spiritual “mantles”? In this episode, we examine the growing Charismatic teaching about receiving, transferring, and inheriting mantles—and the books, courses, and ministries making money from it.

Jenny Weaver has publicly warned people about Kathryn Krick—but just how different are their ministries? In this episode, I’m joined by Dawn Hill of The Lovesick Scribe to compare Weaver and Krick side by side, examining their claims to apostolic authority, criticisms of the local church, emphasis on deliverance and supernatural experiences, spiritual hierarchy, and the elevation of ministry leaders. Dawn brings a unique perspective as a former member of Ryan LeStrange’s organization who has personally encountered Jenny Weaver. Kathryn Krick may be the name getting the headlines right now, but the similarities uncovered in this conversation raise some serious questions about Jenny Weaver and the Core Group as well.

In this episode, Daniel Long and Steve Kozar take a serious look at Kathryn Krick and 5F Church, examining the teachings, practices, leadership structure, and troubling reports surrounding the ministry. They also discuss the assessment of recognized cult expert and expert witness Rick Alan Ross, who concluded that 5F Church fits the characteristics of a destructive personality cult. This isn't simply the opinion of two YouTubers—we examine the evidence and ask whether what is being presented as a powerful “move of God” is actually something very different.

Where did Kenneth Copeland get the idea that God is 6'2" and weighs a couple hundred pounds? Why did Benny Hinn teach that there are nine persons in the Trinity? It all traces back to one man — and a study Bible still sitting on bookshelves in millions of Christian homes. I'm joined by Chuck Lewis from Sheep Among Wolves and Steve Johnson, author of Deconstructing Kenneth Hagin, to look at who this man was, what he taught, and why so many Word of Faith teachers still endorse his Bible today.

Kathryn Krick and her self-proclaimed "spiritual father," Tanzanian prophet GeorDavie, tell packed crowds that the anointing is a free gift — "freely you have received, freely give." But watch closely, because what happens right after that promise reveals exactly what this ministry is really built on. In this video, we examine the footage for ourselves and hold it up against Scripture, including a sin the Bible condemns by name. If you or someone you love has been drawn into this movement, you'll want to see this all the way through.

For over two decades, John Samson preached Word of Faith. He hosted a TBN program in Arizona, shared his pulpit with Andrew Wommack, and rubbed elbows with the movement's biggest names. Then he started doing the funerals of people he had declared healed. In this conversation, John tells the story of how one weekend with R.C. Sproul unraveled everything he believed, why "positive confession" and seed-faith collapsed under the weight of Scripture, and what finally led him out of the movement and into the pulpit of a Reformed Baptist church. If you or someone you love is caught up in Word of Faith teaching, this testimony is for you.

When the Southern Baptist Convention voted this week to affirm that the office of pastor is reserved for qualified men, social media erupted—so we sat down to work through the most common arguments people are making for women pastors and weigh each one against Scripture.

Jennifer LeClaire says you can test any prophetic word in seconds — no Scripture required, no spiritual maturity needed! But when we open the Bible and examine her test, things fall apart fast.

Heather Z has an alien story. She also has a heaven story. And she has a book she'd like to sell you. Let's talk about all three.

Charismatic "prophets" Mike Signorelli, Joseph Z, Alan DiDio, and others claim they were called to a secret meeting in the middle of nowhere — phones on airplane mode, assumed identities, the works — to be briefed on coming "alien disclosure" and save the church from deception. But what came out of that meeting may be some of the most blasphemous teachings we've ever covered on this channel, including a direct comparison between the Virgin Birth of Christ and fallen angels having relations with women. Justin Peters and Jim Osman join me to expose the secret meeting, dismantle the bad theology behind the Nephilim/alien hybrid claims, address Joseph Z's failed "prophecy" over Joni Lamb, and explain why none of this — biblically, theologically, or even scientifically — holds up. If you're a former Charismatic trying to think clearly about all the alien talk flooding social media right now, this episode is for you.

In October 2025, self-proclaimed prophet Joseph Z appeared on Daystar and prophesied a season of strength, expanded ministry, and victory over Joni Lamb. Seven months later, she passed away. In the same week of her death, Joseph Z was making headlines for his role in the so-called "secret pastors UFO meeting" — a story that began collapsing almost as soon as it went public, with Pastor Larry Ragland forced to issue a public apology after Congressman Eric Burlison disputed his claims on X. In this episode, we lay both stories side by side and weigh them against the standard Scripture itself sets in Deuteronomy 18:20 — the very verse Joseph Z quoted to Charisma Magazine in 2024 to define a false prophet. So why should anyone trust the words of men whose prophecies don't come to pass?

Kathryn Krick is back — and this time she's leading her followers on a "revival history tour" of the very spots where her ministry began, including trees, sidewalks, and parking lots! Daniel and Robin walk through the footage and ask the obvious question: What kind of "pastor" turns her own short ministry history into a pilgrimage site?

A so-called “Reformed” pastor claims to have found revival—but what does that actually mean? In this episode, Steve Kozar, David Lovi, and Daniel Long break down the shift from confessional, Scripture-centered theology to a world of dreams, visions, prophecy, and emotional experiences, and we ask the question: Is this truly the work of the Holy Spirit, or something else entirely?
