Can you train someone in spiritual gifts? Joshua Lewis walks through why training doesn’t manufacture gifts of the Spirit, but rather creates a biblical, accountable community to discover and steward the spiritual gifts God has already given.

If you’ve wondered how to grow in spiritual gifts without sliding into charismatic chaos, this episode will give you biblical categories, guardrails, and practical next steps. You’ll see why training in spiritual gifts is less about hype and more about cultivating a theologically serious, Jesus-centered community that pursues Christian theology with real accountability.

When the dust settles after spiritual abuse and public scandal, is any of this charismatic stuff actually real—or should you walk away from it all for good? Many believers are asking hard questions: “If so much has been falsified, are all prophecies fake? Are healings just wishful thinking? How do I trust again?” In this episode of Remnant Radio, Joshua Lewis, Michael Rowntree and Michael Miller open up as pastors and fellow survivors of charismatic fallout to help you process the pain without abandoning the work of the Spirit.​

The hosts will examine:
-Can a “cheater” still give an accurate prophetic word?
-How do we discern between genuine Christian prophecy, demonic counterfeits, and pure manipulation?
-What do we do with verified healings or real words of knowledge that came through morally compromised ministries?
-How do we honor spiritual gifts without platforming abusive leaders or building new celebrity cultures?

This episode is deeply pastoral and aimed at those who feel spiritually disoriented, retraumatized, or jaded after charismatic abuse. If you’re struggling with charismatic ministry gone wrong, this is a safe space to process without being shamed for your doubts. You’ll hear how to move from gullibility, through cynicism, into true discernment—learning to separate God’s voice from human abuse, and the gifts of the Spirit from the sins of leaders.

Danny Silk just dropped a statement to his Loving on Purpose community owning up to his mishandling of Shawn Bolz's abuses. But did his apology level up to repentance? Is it too little too late? We'll review his statement, acknowledging what he got right while also calling out where deeper heart change is still needed. We'll discuss leadership accountability, "honor culture," spiritual failures, and what true biblical restoration looks like.
