The Long for Truth Show

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.

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.

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 Daniel and Robin sat down to work through the most common arguments people are making for women pastors and weigh each one against Scripture.

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.
