Today we’re looking at the high-octane theatrical tripe of Steve Munsey’s 2026 Easter/Passover extravaganza. If you’ve ever wondered if the resurrection of Jesus Christ could be turned into a marketing campaign for longer-lasting washing machines and a "double portion" of financial favor, wonder no more. We examine the "illustrated sermon" style of Family Christian Center, where the gospel is treated like a Coke machine that only accepts "seed" tokens, and the cross is just a prop for modern-day indulgences. We will contrast this transactional prosperity pipe dream with the objective historical victory of the Risen Christ, proving once and for all that God’s sovereign grace doesn’t require an open wallet or the tap of a Visa card.

Welcome to Church by the Glades, where Palm Sunday does not exist. Where their Easter extravaganza is so "rockin" great that they preformed it a week early. Where the bodily resurrection of Christ Jesus is just a "coming attraction" for an upcoming "At the Movies" series. Today, we’re taking a look at a prime example of the Disney-fication of the church. Come with me and see what happens when a rock concert replaces the Gospel, and Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" leads to a spiritual dead end.

Stop trying to get "Locked In" until you understand exactly where this flight path is taking you. Keion Henderson’s recent sermon might sound like high-performance inspiration, but under the hood, it’s a theological stall waiting to happen. As a mechanic and pilot, I can tell you that having "three greens" on your landing gear doesn't matter if you're navigating toward the wrong destination. In this debrief, we’re recovering the black box to see if his "Algorithm of Favor" actually holds air. We’re running a full diagnostic on a message that trades the Theology of the Cross for a high-gloss Theology of Glory.

James Talarico, is he a progressive preacher or politician, or both? In this video, we examine the narcegesis behind his 2025 "Divine Loser" Easter sermon and his heretical portrait of Jesus as a "boy scout" activist. The Threefold Office of Christ—Prophet, Priest, and King is out and a secular activist nice guy model is in. Talarico has embraced a form of moralistic,therapeutic deism (MTD) that replaces penal substitutionary atonement with DEI and democratic social services.

Two churches, ten miles apart on Austin’s I-35 corridor, but worlds away in the gospel they preach. In this video, I compare two very different sermons of Genesis 4. One treats the account of Cain and Abel as a myth used to push political resistance and a new age, "do-it-yourself" redemption. The other submits to the text as the "Living Word of God," grounding our only hope in the blood of Christ that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel. Is the gospel about "calibrating your heart" for social justice, or is it about the substitutionary atonement of Jesus Christ? Watch as we examine the great theological divide in the heart of Texas.

In this episode, we buckle up as Jesse Duplantis takes his $21 million Falcon 7X on a global tour to peddle his latest theme: the "Faith Voice". We’re breaking down his "Popcorn Gospel" and exposing how this "revelation" is really just a theological hijacking of Romans 4:17. From identifying as the divine "I Am" to promising a mathematical miracle that would crash the global jet market, we're putting this prosperity math to the test. Is it a move of God, or just a multi-million dollar "replenishment" scam for Jesse's personal ministry/lifestyle?

In this episode, we examine Ed Young Jr.’s recent sermon, "Image Is Everything," from his First and Ten series on the Ten Commandments. While the sermon attempts to make the prohibition of idols relatable for a modern audience, it inadvertently reveals a major crisis in the modern megachurch: the elevation of Imagination over Revelation. We tackle the Chewing Gum Trap: How trivializing metaphors domesticate the holiness of God and also the Photo App Fallacy: Why a "laundry list" of church programs does not equal a "fully orbed" explanation of the nature of God. #EdYoung #TenCommandments #Exegesis #ChurchCritique #BezelT3 #SecondCommandment #MeansOfGrace

In this episode, we’re heading to Wichita to look at NewSpring Church’s elaborate "Flying By Instruments" series. They built a large scale Citation Jet on stage to teach the story of Rahab, but did they lose the Gospel in the hangar? While the "set design" team, (why any church would have such a team is beyond me), is quite talented, the theology is grounded in Narcigesis and Moralistic Therapeutic Deism. By turning Rahab into a "Captain" and faith into a "navigational decision," Pastor Stephen Hoover shifts the focus from Christ’s objective work to our subjective perception. This should never be.

Kenneth Copeland guarantees he has an iron-clad "covenant" with God to live to 120. So why is his son John Copeland currently busy drafting succession plans? In this video, we expose the glaring contradiction happening right now behind the scenes at Kenneth Copeland Ministries.

In this episode of BezelT3, we dive into the sharp contrast between the Apostle Paul and the modern "glory hounds" of the New Apostolic Reformation and Bethel Church. Specifically, we will look at Dano McCollam's recent message at Bethel. While Paul used the unique Greek term "elachistoteros" meaning the "leastest" of the the least, to describe his standing before the grace of God , modern "prophetic" teachers seem more interested in "prophetic infusions" and "radical acts of obedience" that look more like a Barney dance on crack than biblical worship.

In this video, we dissect Tavner Smith’s "Million Dollar Miracle" to ask a critical question: Is God your Sovereign Lord, or just a celestial "step and fetch it"? We expose the blatant "narcigesis" that twists the biblical account of Solomon’s temple into a real estate hack that reduces the Covenant of Grace into a "Covenant of Commerce." From claims of "negotiating with Jesus" to promises of an "Eternal ROI" for your seed sowing, we expose how this transactional theology trades the glory of the Cross for a theology of personal glory. Let's cut through the sales pitch to rediscover the true, sufficient, and priceless grace of God.

Since I uploaded a short intro video this morning I thought I would add a few random thoughts for those who view the channel regularly.

Welcome to the BezelT3 channel, where we spit out both the grizzly meat and the bones of those who teach self help, better life now and prosperity ponzi schemes. We practice Berean discernment in an age of celebrity pastors, testing the smooth talk and flattery against the immutable standard of Scripture. If you’re tired of sermons that are more 'me-ology' than theology, and you're ready to separate the saints from the 'ain'ts, you’re in the right place. We don’t just react; we examine—because truth matters." #Narcigesis #ProsperityGospel #WordOfFaith #Jude3 #BezelT3

Is Steven Furtick a real pastor, or is he nothing more than a motivational speaker who may, or may not have a Bible on the podium? In his sermon "Sinking In The Storm," we examine the problem of "narcigesis" taking place in Elevation Church. While Matthew 14:22-33 is meant to reveal the deity of Christ Jesus, Furtick turns it into a manual for personal empowerment and "syncing" with your Savior. Let's compare this man-centered approach to the true, Christ-centered meaning of the text.
