The Remnant Radio's Podcast

In this episode of Remnant Radio, we debunk the“prophetic words” from Jeremiah Johnson. Joined by guest co-host JonMark Baker with the Minor Prophets Podcast and Michael Miller, we clarify up front that this is not a cessationist critique—everyone on the panel affirms and practices continuationist gifts, including prophecy. Our aim is to model biblical “testing and weighing” (1 Cor. 14:29; 1 Thess. 5:19–22) for the health of the church.We walk through multiple clips from Johnson’s “2025” prophecy, assessing whether the claims are genuinely prophetic, testable, and rooted in sound exegesis—or whether they function as “words of obvious,” built from current events and broadly plausible predictions. We also address methodological red flags, including numerology-style reasoning, vague claims that cannot be meaningfully verified, and the way certain segments appear to preempt criticism by framing accusations as “Leviathan” twisting words. Along the way, we discuss the importance of judging not only the content of a prophetic word but also the prophet’s credibility and fruit, especially when public prophecy has a track record of harm, manipulation, or failed predictions.How to Test Prophecy Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMsjeViSScFHAxEWVUTMiJvLHWHF7hOE1 Join the conversation, test everything, and hold fast to what is good.00:00 Introduction02:15 Why charismatics must test prophecy04:30 How bad prophecy damages the church07:15 Trump as a “wartime president” prophecy10:05 Assassination warnings and predictable claims11:55 Israel conflict prophecy evaluated12:50 Candace Owens “Spirit of Jehu” prophecy14:40 Kanye West prophecy that backfired16:15 Mike Bickle and “passing the crown” prophecy19:05 Explaining “words of obvious”20:55 Can this be Googled?

What happens when the power of the Holy Spirit collides with the chaos of American politics? Join Joshua Lewis as he sits down with historian Molly Worthen to explore her book Spellbound, which traces the fascinating and often controversial story of charisma—both spiritual and political—from Puritan prophets to modern-day leaders like Donald Trump.We explore the tension between institutional authority and personal revelation that has defined American Christianity and culture for centuries. Discover how figures like Anne Hutchinson challenged Puritan ministers by claiming direct assurance from the Holy Spirit, how George Whitefield revolutionized preaching with theatrical emotion, and how Joseph Smith blended enlightenment rationalism with spiritual experience to birth Mormonism.Professor Worthen, a historian at UNC Chapel Hill, reveals how charismatic leaders aren't always the charming orators we imagine—instead, they're polarizing storytellers who invite followers into transcendent narratives that give suffering and struggle cosmic significance. We explore the dangerous line between prophetic truth and spiritual manipulation, examining everyone from radical Quaker Benjamin Lay to Martin Luther King Jr., and asking the crucial question: how do we test the spirits in an age of radical individualism?Whether you're fascinated by church history, concerned about discernment in charismatic movements, or trying to understand the spiritual undercurrents shaping our political moment, this episode offers essential insights into how divine power—or the claim to it—has shaped the American experiment.0:00 – Introduction0:46 – Molly's background and ministry4:49 – Defining charisma20:11 – Anne Hutchinson & Puritan Massachusetts30:00 – Donna Beatrice & the Congo rebellion36:25 – George Fox & the Quaker movement44:01 – George Whitefield & emotional preaching50:28 – Charisma & American individualism54:05 – Joseph Smith & the Mormon church1:00:14 – Closing thoughts on charisma & discernmentABOUT THE GUEST:📖BOOK https://a.co/d/e9yLtGC 🙏 God’s been GOOD! 🙏 Watch our year-end message from Joshua Lewis & see how your support helps us resource & equip believers in God's Word & Spirit!If Remnant Radio has blessed you, would you consider partnering with us as we step into the new year?

In this end-of-year episode, the Remnant Radio crew breaks down prophetic declarations given at the start of 2025, comparing them against real-world events and spiritual markers we've witnessed throughout the year. We'll discuss the hits, the misses, and the "jury's still out" moments with honesty and biblical integrity. Our goal is to uphold the standard Scripture gives us for testing prophecy and holding modern prophets accountable to God's Word.We'll explore critical questions every believer should ask: How do we properly test prophetic words according to 1 Thessalonians 5:20-21? What separates genuine prophetic insight from wishful thinking or cultural commentary? How should the body of Christ respond when prophecies don't come to pass? And what does biblical discernment look like in an age of viral prophetic declarations?Whether you're navigating the prophetic movement, curious about spiritual gifts, or simply want to grow in biblical discernment, this episode offers practical wisdom rooted in Scripture. We're committed to honoring authentic moves of the Holy Spirit while maintaining the accountability that protects God's people from deception. As we close out 2025, join us for an honest conversation about prophecy, discernment, and what it means to test everything and hold fast to what is good.0:00 – Introduction3:26 – Theology of prophecy and why we review national words8:20 – Tomi Arayomi’s prophecy28:34 – Kay Nash prophecy45:59 – Emma Stark / Sam Robertson prophecy57:30 – Closing thoughts 🙏 God’s been GOOD! 🙏 Watch our year-end message from Joshua Lewis & see how your support helps us resource & equip believers in God's Word & Spirit!If Remnant Radio has blessed you, would you consider partnering with us as we step into the new year?

We believe that the balance, or as we call it the "radical middle" between Word and Spirit isn't found through treating them like opposing forces. Rather, it's found through pursuing both fully and deeply. We want the full counsel of the Word of God. We want you to be biblically literate, equipped to rightly divide the Word for yourself. We also want the Holy Spirit to move in power, unhindered and unquenched in our lives, and we want you to see His miraculous power at work.It's easy to feel theologically homeless when you have a hunger for the Word, an appreciation for church history and liturgy, yet see the lack of spiritual depth in many churches. We also know how stifling it can feel to know there is more to experience of God's power in your life, but have so few balanced voices to learn from. The Remnant Radio was born out of our own hunger for challenging conversations,  theological depth, and a desire to experience all that God has for us! Support the showABOUT THE REMNANT RADIO: 📧 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER 📚 COURSES & CONFERENCES 🛒 SHOP MERCH 💝 SUPPORT OUR MINISTRY: • Leave a Tip• Become a Patron• Make a Tax-Deductible Donation 🌐📧 Check Out Our Church PagesJosh's ChurchMiller's ChurchRowntree's Church

Can theological debates destroy Christian unity? In this raw, unfiltered conversation, we sit down with Jon Moffitt (Theocast) and Doug Van Dorn (Reformed Fringe) to discuss one of the more controversial splits in the Reformed world—and what it reveals about how we handle disagreement in the body of Christ. Jon and Doug open up about their journey exploring the spiritual realm, the divine council, and the angel of the Lord—topics that sparked fierce opposition within their own theological circles. What began as thoughtful biblical exploration turned into accusations of heresy, demands for public repentance, and ultimately, painful separation from longtime friends and ministry partners.This isn't just another theology debate. It's a sobering look at how pride, fear, and miscommunication can fracture Christian unity, even among believers who share the same core convictions. Jon and Doug discuss the Grace Reformed Network controversy, the role of Michael Heiser's work in Reformed circles, and why talking about angels and spiritual warfare became so divisive.We dive deep into questions that matter: How should Christians handle theological disagreements? When does doctrinal clarity become doctrinal gatekeeping? And how do we fight for truth without destroying the very unity Christ prayed for ?Whether you're Reformed, charismatic, or somewhere in between, this conversation offers crucial lessons about humility, spiritual warfare, and the cost of standing for what you believe. The real enemy isn't the brother who disagrees with you—it's the one who wants to see the church divided.Join Joshua Lewis, Michael Miller, Jon Moffitt, and Doug Van Dorn for a conversation about Christian theology, biblical interpretation, spiritual warfare, church unity, and what happens when good men disagree.0:00 – Introduction7:12 – The (Reformed) Fringe podcast12:43 – Heiser, the Divine Council, & pushback 20:11 – Online debates, slander, & controversy31:05 – Strawmanning & accusations of heresy43:06 – Internal concerns & pressure to shut down Fringe50:04 – Email ultimatum56:02 – Board letters, Jon & Doug’s clarifying response1:02:24 – Doug’s theology of the Angel of the Lord1:13:35 – How GRN handled Doug’s old paper & calls for due process1:19:23 – Reflections on unity, charity, & spiritual warfare1:23:28 – Closing 🙏 God’s been GOOD! 🙏 Watch our year-end message from Joshua Lewis & see how your support helps us resource & equip believers in God's Word & Spirit!If Remnant Radio has blessed you, would you consider partnering with us as we step into the new year?
