In this episode, we expose how Paula White — senior advisor to the White House Faith Office and notorious prosperity gospel teacher — turns the Easter offering into a manipulative 14-minute guilt trip.

Does God promise revival in the way it’s being presented today? If the Spirit of God works through His Word, then what are we to make of experiences that seem to bypass the Bible entirely? This isn’t about dismissing genuine faith—it’s about testing everything (1 Thess. 5:21) and asking whether what’s being called “revival” is truly from God, or something manufactured by man.

Word of Faith theology promises health, healing, and victory through faith—but does it actually deliver? In this episode, we are joined by Steve Johnson to examine the claims of Kenneth Hagin and others, exposing the inconsistencies, failed predictions, and troubling theology behind the movement. By looking at real-life examples—even among its own teachers—this discussion shows how these teachings collapse under scrutiny and ultimately present a false picture of Christ, one that stands in stark contrast to the gracious, compassionate Savior revealed in Scripture.

When Brian Simmons produced The Trashin Translation, what safeguards were in place? Normally, when a new Bible translation is produced, it goes through a rigorous, multi-layered process involving committees of qualified scholars, linguists, and theologians who work directly from the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts. These teams provide built-in accountability, cross-checking one another’s work through multiple rounds of peer review to safeguard accuracy. and minimize personal bias. So when it comes to The Passion Translation, the obvious question is this: where are those same safeguards—what recognized committee, what transparent review process, and what meaningful checks and balances were actually in place?

In this video, we take a closer look at The Passion Translation and compare it directly with faithful translations like the ESV and NKJV. What we found is not just stylistic differences, but the consistent insertion of New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) buzzwords. This is a short clip taken from our video, Why You STILL Shouldn't Read The Passion Translation. (you can find a link at the end of this video).

In this episode, we respond to a shocking and deeply manipulative claim made by Landon Schott. In a clip that circulated on X, Schott suggests that discernment podcasters would be happy if disgraced pastor Robert Morris took his own life. We also examine comments from self-styled “apostle” Kelly Lohrke, who echoes similar sentiments while criticizing discernment ministries on social media.

In this long-overdue, raw conversation, Daniel Long and Steve Kozar sit down to talk about why they do what they do, the shocking early history of the Pentecostal movement, and the big question on everyone's mind: Will the Charismatic/NAR movement ever actually reform?

At Paula White’s Unleashed 2026 Conference, a clip revealed manipulative fundraising appeals, prophetic claims, and promises of financial and generational blessing that raise serious biblical concerns.

John Alexander Dowie is often remembered in Charismatic circles as a “general of the faith” and a pioneer of divine healing. His name appears in popular books, sermons, and classrooms as a hero of the early movement. But history tells a much darker story. In this video, we look directly at what contemporary newspapers reported about Dowie’s healing homes, his practices, and the disturbing number of deaths connected to his ministry. These are not rumors or later critiques — these are reports from his own time, written while he was alive and at the height of his influence.

From Landon Schott visiting Robert Morris in jail to David Diga Hernandez platforming Kathryn Krick, the pattern is hard to ignore—questionable judgment seems to be a recurring theme among Big Charisma leaders. The three bald guys are back together, taking a closer look at these headline-making moves and what they reveal.

False prophets and fake faith healers have been mining information from people at their events for decades. From Dowie to Lake to Branham to Bolz, these false prophets have used gathered information to prop themselves up. In this episode, I’m joined by Pete Evans and Barry Bowen of the Trinity Foundation as we discuss how these fake prophets and healers operate and how they get away with it.

You’ve probably heard it in sermons, prayer meetings, and deliverance sessions: “We bind you, Satan.” “We bind every principality.” “We bind the devil in Jesus’ name.” But where does the Bible actually teach Christians to do this? In this video, we take a careful, in-context look at the passages most often used to justify the practice of “binding Satan”—including Matthew 16, Matthew 18, Mark 3, and Luke 10. Instead of relying on slogans, spiritual warfare language, or emotional experiences, we let Scripture interpret Scripture.

Is Annihilationism actually taught in Scripture, or is it an unbiblical doctrine of hell?
