John invites Rebecca Ludwig to discuss her personal experiences in various churches associated with the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) and related movements. It opens with her traumatic childhood experiences involving intense fear of the Rapture and carries through to her involvement with churches tied to NAR. Rebecca shares the details of manipulation, control, and spiritual abuse within these churches, particularly highlighting Rick Joyner’s MorningStar Ministries and Todd Bentley’s ministry.

Rebecca’s story touches on her efforts to serve in ministry, the pressure to join the Knights of Malta, and accusations against her that led to her being sidelined in these churches. The conversation also brings up revelations of sexual misconduct, unethical behavior, and false prophetic practices. Throughout the discussion, both John Collins, the host, and Rebecca express concern over how leaders in these movements manipulate their followers by fostering fear and confusion, often tying their ministries to questionable practices like “grave soaking.”
