This is what many on the outside did not know about the UMC allowing churches to leave the denomination. Many smaller churches that were established well before the UMC even began, now had to PAY to leave!

In this video, I react to 'the chosen' new promotional video. While many view the show as harmless creative liberty, taking liberties with God's Word comes with serious dangers. Playing fast and loose with text creates an inaccurate picture of Jesus and His ministry. I break down the theological concerns, biblical accuracy, and why sticking to pure Scripture matters now more than ever. What are your thoughts? Does The Chosen cross the line, or is it harmless artistic interpretation? Let’s talk in the comments! Don't forget to LIKE, SHARE, and SUBSCRIBE for more biblical commentary and reactions!

This video is a clip from a live stream where we discussed the fall out of G3 Ministries. One of the things that stands out to me is that is shows that being correct in theology is not the only guard people should have from allowing sin to take hold. You have to practice what you preach.

This is a clip from a previous live discussing Steve Lawson. This specific section has some good biblical general principles when we look at fallen christian leadership and sin in general in a believer's life.

Live Christian News and Podcast. In this episode I am giving updates and also checking on what is going on.

Two years after his removal from ministry following an extramarital affair, Dr. Steven Lawson has announced a new book titled "Mercy in the Wilderness: How I Fell & What I Found." In this video, I share my honest thoughts on this release. While I haven't read the book yet and I want to remain fair to what he actually writes, I have some concerns about putting out a book like this after a major moral failure. To give credit where it's due: Lawson has not stepped back into the pulpit or attempted to resume public ministry leadership, which is a positive sign of respect for qualifications and church discipline. However, releasing a book framed around his fall raises critical questions. Let’s talk through the nuances: - Why writing a book after a scandal can feel premature - Giving credit for staying out of public pastoral ministry - What genuine restoration and accountability should look like - Why I’m holding back on fully criticizing What are your thoughts on pastors releasing books following a moral fall? Let’s discuss respectfully in the comments below. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 📖 Article Referenced: "Steven Lawson Releases 'Unflinching Confession' 2 Years After Extramarital Affair" - ChurchLeaders https://churchleaders.com/news/2222895-steven-lawson-new-book.html -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #StevenLawson #ChurchLeaders #Christianity #MinistryScandal #Theology #PastoralEthics #MercyInTheWilderness

Is Sean Feucht actually "vindicated," or did his legal team just exploit a non-profit contract loophole? In this live stream, we react to and break down the recent Christian Post article and the Trinity Foundation reporting surrounding the dismissal of Steve Bray’s $250,000 lawsuit. We’ll dive into how non-profit donation rules work, why an "unrestricted gift" defense is a procedural shield rather than a financial audit, and how tax-exempt ministries navigate real estate purchases and donor transparency. In this stream, we break down: The Christian Post article & Sean’s claims of total innocence. The legal difference between procedural dismissal vs. true financial vindication.

A regional body of the United Methodist Church has fallen victim to a sophisticated international cyberattack, with criminals stealing over $1.6 million from local church operating funds. In this IBNW News "Minute News Update," we deliver a concise, fact-first breakdown of the August 5th wire fraud scheme, the FBI and Secret Service investigation, and how this sudden financial hit intersects with the UMC's broader financial decline following its departure from biblical orthodoxy.

Self-proclaimed "apostle" Kathryn Krick of Five-Fold Church in Los Angeles is drawing intense criticism from Christian leaders following recent comments about salvation, spiritual authority, and protection from demonic attacks. In a recent message, Krick claimed that simply accepting Jesus as Lord isn't enough to protect believers from witchcraft, financial harm, or health issues. Instead, she argues that believers must be "planted" under "truly anointed" leaders like herself to receive full spiritual protection. 00:00 - Introduction: Why Address Kathryn Krick? 01:05 - The Claim: "Jesus as Lord" Is Not Enough 03:24 - Clip Breakdown: "Spiritual Covering" & Misquoting Scripture 06:10 - Biblical Refutation: God's True Protection & Authority 07:50 - Live Chat Q&A & Discernment Discussion 09:20 - Analyzing the Claim: Demonic Oppression vs. God's Sovereign Control 14:57 - Community Discussion: The Modern "Apostle" Movement 17:40 - Examining Channel Engagement & Follower Metrics 21:18 - Distorting the "Shadow of Peter" & Qualifications of an Apostle 25:30 - Community Prayer Requests 29:25 - False Impartation Doctrine vs. Sound Scripture 33:33 - Final Thoughts & Closing
