Is the Apostle Paul a "covenant" or an "apocalyptic" theologian? We sit down with Dr. Constantine Campbell to discuss Pauline eschatology in Campbell's latest book "Paul and the Hope of Glory." We'll explore the significance of eschatology (end times) in Pauline theology. Campbell asserts that while union with Christ serves as the webbing that connects the Apostle Paul's thought, eschatology shapes the contours of his teaching on justification, resurrection, ethics, and more. Campbell will share how Paul thought about the end times, unpacking phrases like "the last day," "inheritance," and "hope," and showing us how they fit into the bigger picture of what Paul believed. Why does Paul's perspective on the future matter for us today? Campbell will discuss how Pauline theology shapes our beliefs about salvation, resurrection, and how we live our lives right now. Tune in and equip yourself with a deeper understanding of Paul's eschatological vision and its implications for our hope of glory.

Get ready for a critical and eye-opening episode of The Remnant Radio. We're exploring the cult-like tactics and practices that some churches in the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) use to maintain control and power. The New Apostolic Reformation is a movement within certain charismatic Christian groups that emphasizes modern-day apostles and prophets. While it aims to bring revival and transformation, there are significant concerns about its methods and impact. In this episode, we'll explore some of the cult-like tendencies associated with the NAR, such as shunning members who leave the church and enforcing strict honor culture to control speech and maintain leadership power. We'll discuss how these practices can create an environment where leaders remain in control and laypeople are kept ignorant and subservient. From manipulating followers through spiritual abuse to controlling narratives within the church, we'll uncover the strategies used to keep people in line. Join us as we unpack these critical issues and shed light on the darker side of the New Apostolic Reformation. We'll examine the biblical perspective on these practices and offer insights on how to recognize and respond to cult-like behavior in any church setting.

Could the Bible really be teaching the principle of sowing and reaping, or is it just another prosperity gospel myth? If the prosperity gospel is dangerous, why does Scripture seem to instruct us to sow and reap? Have you ever felt confused about what the Bible really says regarding blessings, finances, and faith? Are you struggling to reconcile the idea of sowing and reaping with the true message of the Gospel? In this episode of The Remnant Radio, we’re digging into these tough questions. We’ll explore the biblical foundation of sowing and reaping and ask: Is it a genuine principle God wants us to follow, or has it been hijacked by prosperity preachers? How can we understand these teachings without falling into the traps of the prosperity gospel? What does true biblical sowing and reaping look like in a life devoted to Christ?

Get ready for an intense and eye-opening episode of The Remnant Radio. We're exploring the chilling topics of haunted houses, desecrated spaces, and cursed regions. We'll uncover the dark realities of Satanic practices and the spiritual impact they can have on places, geography, and entire regions. What does the Bible say about principalities and powers ruling over certain areas? Can a house, church or building be cursed because of past sexual immorality or witchcraft previously practiced in the location? What about entire regions plagued by specific sins, like a history of slavery or abortions? We're going to tackle these tough questions head-on. The Bible has a lot to say about defiled land and buildings. Deuteronomy 18:9-12 warns against detestable practices that can defile the land, and Ephesians 6:12 speaks about our struggle against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. We'll examine these scriptures and more to understand if and how physical locations can be tainted by immoral or Satanic activities. And here's the big question: Can a physical location be redeemed? We'll discuss the power of prayer, spiritual cleansing, and whether desecrated spaces can be redeemed. Join us for this exploration into the spiritual implications of haunted and cursed places. 🌐📧 Visit our Website & Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://www.theremnantradio.com

We're exploring a side of the American Revolution that often gets overlooked. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Gregg Frazer to discuss his book God against the Revolution: The Loyalist Clergy's Case against the American Revolution. Romans 13:1 says, "Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God." This biblical principle of obeying authority is at the heart of Frazer's book. Frazer’s work offers the first comprehensive account of the political thought of the American Loyalists – the roughly one-third of the population who opposed independence. While we know much about the Patriots, what about those who loved their land but didn't support breaking away from Britain? Frazer digs into the biblical, philosophical, and legal arguments made by Loyalist ministers in their writings, pamphlets, and sermons. These clergymen were far from being mere apologists for British rule; they criticized its excesses while arguing for adherence to English law and authority. In our interview, we'll explore how these Loyalist ministers' perspectives provide an interesting counterpoint to the Patriots' fight for liberty, equality, and representation. Frazer raises challenging questions about the rationality and legitimacy of the Patriots' actions and their impacts on freedom of religion, expression, and due process. So how should we examine the Bible's command to submit to authority? This discussion is not only an interesting addition to our understanding of American political thought but also a timely reflection on the political dynamics of our own era. Join us as we delve into this nuanced and often forgotten perspective on the American Revolution. *** Gregg L. Frazer is Dean, John P. Stead School of Humanities, and Professor of History & Political Studies at The Master’s University in Santa Clarita, California. He’s the author of The Religious Beliefs of America's Founders: Reason, Revelation, and Revolution (University Press of Kansas). Gregg is a deacon at Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California.

Can demons attach themselves to objects in your home? Can certain objects attract demons and provide "open doors" to your home? We will examine what the Bible says and explore the theology behind whether demons can attach to inanimate objects and why.

A prophetic word should strengthen, encourage, and comfort, so that it edifies and builds up the church body. There is an etiquette and integrity to delivering prophetic messages and also receiving feedback. Today, we'll examine the best practices of how to deliver prophecy in person and during the Sunday gathering. In so doing, we're going to turn the spotlight on ourselves and review our own team's prophetic words. At last year's Remnant Conference, we gathered a team gifted in prophetic ministry, and we provided live demonstrations right from the stage, getting real-time feedback. Part of etiquette and integrity is accountability. We want to know if our prophetic words hit the mark or not, helping us grow and learn from both the successes and the misses. We'll discuss how we can apologize, repent, and seek the Lord for greater clarity when our interpretation doesn't quite land where we expected. It's all part of our journey with the Lord, and we're excited to share it with you. 🌐📧 Visit our Website & Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://www.theremnantradio.com

Explore biblical prophecy with esteemed biblical scholar Dr. Ben Witherington III as he discusses his book, "Jesus the Seer: The Progress of Prophecy." Jesus the Seer explores the profound role of prophecy in both the Old and New Testaments and how it all points to the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. Dr. Witherington unpacks the historical and theological contexts of prophecy, shedding light on its significance in the ancient Near East and Greco-Roman world. He explains how ancient cultures relied on diviners to interpret signs from nature, while court prophets served kings with their insights. In contrast, the Israelites transitioned from these practices as Yahweh’s prophets rose to prominence, delivering divine messages directly from God. Meanwhile, priests took on roles that involved interpreting God’s will through sacred objects such as the Urim and thummim, effectively replacing the diviners of surrounding nations. Our conversation examines the complexities of distinguishing true prophecy from false, the role of court prophets, and the fascinating interplay between prophetic and wisdom literature. Dr. Witherington also shares his perspective on how the Holy Spirit operates differently in the New Covenant era, emphasizing the importance of discernment in contemporary prophetic practice. Don't miss this thought-provoking discussion that not only enriches our understanding of biblical prophecy but also points us back to the central figure of our faith—Jesus Christ. Whether you're a pastor, teacher, or theology enthusiast, this episode is packed with valuable insights that will deepen your appreciation for the prophetic traditions of the Bible.

Join us for a thought-provoking discussion as we examine how to build a healthy culture for developing the gifts of the Spirit in children's ministry at your church. But here's the twist: When is the right time to introduce children to the gifts of the Spirit? Should we start them young, or is it better to wait until they're older and more mature? We'll be exploring this question and more as we delve into why it's important to empower children to walk in their God-given gifts from an early age. Are they truly capable of hearing from God and tapping into their spiritual gifts, even as youngsters? And how do we create an environment where they can thrive spiritually while still nurturing their innocence and curiosity? Join the conversation as we discuss the benefits and challenges of introducing children to spiritual practices and helping them discern God's voice for themselves. After all, they're the future leaders of the Church, and it's our responsibility to equip them to confidently and clearly do God's work as they grow into adulthood. So don't miss out on this essential topic! Tune in and let's explore together how we can raise up a generation who knows their worth in Christ and is prepared to boldly step into their calling, no matter their age. 🌐📧 Visit our Website & Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://www.theremnantradio.com #remnantradio #giftsofthespirit #holyspirit

What does it mean to be holy? What does it mean to be perfect as God commands? The Christian life includes many demands, but perhaps none are as challenging or as misunderstood as the biblical command to “be holy” (Leviticus 11:44 and 1 Peter 1:16) or to “be perfect” (Matthew 5:48). How should we try to accomplish these goals? Join us for an interview with Dr. Matt Ayars, co-author of "Holiness: A Biblical, Historical, and Systematic Theology." We'll dive deep into the concept of "neo-Holiness" – a fresh take that blends the pursuit of Christian perfection with grace and the Holy Spirit's work. Dr. Ayars's insights are game-changers. He'll shed light on how these commands to "be holy" and "be perfect" aren't just burdensome rules, but pathways to blessing.

There's a rising trend of "Christian yoga" practiced by believers and even offered in churches. Christians are embracing Christian yoga workouts and Christian yoga music. But can we truly divorce the spiritual from the physical? Are we inadvertently embracing pagan practices by participating in yoga? Or can we transform the practices into a form of worship to Christ? On Wednesday, we'll delve into the spiritual implications of yoga and Christian yoga flow - and whether renaming it to "Christian yoga" changes its essence.

Join us for our discussion with theologian Andrew Root on his book The Church in An Age of Secular Mysticism. In a world flooded with spiritualities promising personal transformation, Root sheds light on the differences between these mysticisms and authentic Christian transformation. We'll explore the dangers of following or adapting these reigning mysticisms and learn why the self has become so important yet so burdened with guilt--and how we should think about both. Root will present a better way--even a mysticism--centered on the theology of the cross that pastors and leaders can use to form their own imaginations and practices.

Ever heard of Ayahuasca? Ayahusaca is a sacred plant medicine used in ceremonies by indigenous communities in the Amazon rainforest. And there are some crazy stories out there from people reporting spiritual experiences after taking Ayahuasca. You can find numerous testimonies of atheists and drug addicts experiencing God and coming to Christ after this experience - descriptions of another dimension that is 'more real than reality'. In recent years, Ayahuasca has gained popularity in Western cultures, leading to the rise of Ayahuasca tourism and retreats - and even churches promoting its spiritual benefits. But is this something Christians should be experiencing? If the substance is bringing people to Christ, should churches be exploring it? Or is this something we should mark and stay away?

Did Jesus go to Hell? Did Jesus go to Sheol? The doctrine of Christ’s “descent” is confessed in the Apostles’s and Athanasian Creeds and celebrated by Eastern and Roman Catholic churches, but evangelical churches rarely give it much attention. Even where the Apostles’s Creed is recited many evangelicals leave out the clause, “he descended into hell/the dead.” So just what is the doctrine of Jesus descending to the dead? Did Jesus go to hell for 3 days? In this episode, we'll interview Matt Emerson and discuss his book "He Descended to the Dead": An Evangelical Theology of Holy Saturday, winner of a 2019 TGC book award.

We've all heard of the Holy Spirit as the third member of the Trinity. Did you know the books of Isaiah and Revelation also mention seven spirits of God?
