Longing For Truth

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?

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.

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.
