Über den Podcast
The Remnant Radio educates and equips believers in God's Word & Spirit, exploring Christian theology, church history, and the gifts of the Spirit in a manner that is engaging, relatable, and inspiring. Weekly, we bring together Christian influencers from various denominations to explore theology, church history, and the gifts of the Spirit. We don't always agree with the views of our guests. And, we don’t expect that you will always agree, either. But we are brothers and sisters in Christ, and we agree to humbly approach God’s Word so we can better understand it together.
In each episode, we strive to offer constructive dialogue and healthy pushback without veering into argumentative or combative territory. Expect each Remnant Radio episode to be not only informative but also encouraging, entertaining, and, hopefully, inspiring. Our ultimate goal is to help every individual break out of their theological echo chamber and engage in the conversation.

Where do demons come from? Demons show up all through the Gospels, but the Bible never directly addresses their origin. One explanation, held by Second Temple Jewish writers and revived in recent years by the late Old Testament scholar Dr. Michael Heiser, connects them to the Nephilim of Genesis 6. Were the spirits Jesus cast out once the giants of the ancient world?

ABOUT THE EPISODE:
Josh, Michael, and Michael take up the question of whether demons are the disembodied spirits of the Nephilim. Genesis 6:1–4 describes the sons of God taking human wives, and the Nephilim appear in the same passage. Later Jewish writings, including 1 Enoch and Jubilees, taught that when the giants died, their spirits stayed on the earth as evil spirits. Some early church writers held the same view.
Heiser wrote about this in The Unseen Realm, Reversing Hermon, and Demons, and for many believers his books were their first introduction to the idea. Scripture is clear that demons are real and that Jesus has authority over them, but it doesn’t say how they came to exist. So we have to ask how much Genesis 6 can tell us and how much weight to give books that aren’t part of the canon.
We'll explore what the Bible says about demons and fallen angels and talk through which conclusions the text supports.

ABOUT THE EPISODE:
This is part two of our conversation on the millennium, and we'll focus on the thousand years, the binding of Satan, the first resurrection, and a final battle John calls Gog and Magog.
Josh and Michael work through the chapter most often used to argue for a future thousand-year reign. Revelation 19 ends with Jesus returning, and Revelation 20 opens with Satan bound for a thousand years, so most readers assume one follows the other. Michael read it that way for a long time until details in the text started pulling him toward a different view.
Josh hasn’t settled the question himself, and he pushes back where he thinks the argument needs more support. His biggest question: If Satan is bound so he can’t deceive the nations (Revelation 20:3), why does deception seem to be everywhere?
They also get into how to tell when Revelation is moving forward in time and when it’s circling back to cover the same ground. Michael explains what he thinks John means by the first resurrection and why Gog and Magog show up more than once in the book. He leans on John 12:31 and Deuteronomy 32:8–9 to explain how he reads the binding of Satan.

Was someone living on this planet before Adam? Timothy Alberino thinks so. In Birthright, he argues an alien race was here first, until a cosmic war left the earth “without form and void” (Genesis 1:2).
ABOUT THIS EPISODE:
We’re reviewing Timothy Alberino’s Birthright: The Coming Posthuman Apocalypse and the Usurpation of Adam’s Dominion on Planet Earth. The book covers a lot of supernatural Christianity worldview: the Book of Enoch, the Watchers, the Nephilim, UFOs, transhumanism. We’ll touch on some of it. But most of our time will focus on one claim: that a race of beings lived on earth before Adam and Eve.
Josh, Michael, and Michael put Alberino's book and the Bible side by side. What do Genesis 1:1–2 actually say, and what don’t they? Where did the gap theory come from? And if Paul calls Adam “the first man” (1 Corinthians 15:45) and says death entered the world through him (Romans 5:12), what do we make of a race that lived and died before him?

Shownotes
Michael Rowntree held to premillennialism for years, mostly by default because nearly everyone he knew was premill. Then he preached through the book of Revelation and hit Chapter 20.
In the first of two episodes on Revelation 20, Josh sits down with Michael to talk about the thousand-year reign of Christ and what the rest of the New Testament says will happen when Jesus returns.
ABOUT THE EPISODE
Josh and Michael begin by walking through premillennialism, postmillennialism, and amillennialism, including the different branches within each. They also look at how Christians have held these views over the centuries, from Justin Martyr and Augustine to Luther and Calvin, and into the nineteenth century, when dispensationalism took hold. Michael then turns to the New Testament passages that speak most clearly about Christ’s return, including John 5:28–29, 2 Thessalonians 1:9–10, 1 Corinthians 15, and Romans 8. He explores what they say about the resurrection, the final judgment, the end of death, and the renewal of creation. Josh raises the hard questions each view has to answer, Ezekiel’s temple among them.
This is a secondary issue, and we want to talk about it like one. Michael makes his case, but he holds it with an open hand, and he’s clear that believers who land elsewhere are still his brothers and sisters in Christ.

Python, Leviathan, Rahab, the Greek sea god Triton, and even a squid. Jennifer LeClaire’s The Spiritual Warrior’s Guide to Defeating Water Spirits names them all as marine demons working near bodies of water. What does Scripture actually say about these figures?
ABOUT THIS EPISODE
At The Remnant Radio, Josh, Michael, and Michael take the demonic seriously. We pray for people and cast out demons, and we do it biblically. That’s why sensational spiritual warfare teaching bothers us. People end up more afraid of the enemy than confident in Christ.
In this live review, we take LeClaire’s water spirits book back to Scripture and weigh its claims against the text. Bring your questions to the chat as we talk through how to tell sound teaching on the demonic from hype, and what deliverance ministry looks like when it starts with the text rather than the thrill.

Is Babylon the Great a place you can find on a map? Rome? Jerusalem? A rebuilt city in modern Iraq? Plenty of people would put their money on America.
ABOUT THE EPISODE:
Josh sits down with Michael Rowntree to trace Babylon through the whole Bible. The trail runs from Cain’s first city and the Tower of Babel, through Nebuchadnezzar’s empire in Daniel, to the woman riding the scarlet beast in Revelation 17. Michael’s new book, The World Made Right, is out now, and this conversation draws on the final section, which he calls a tale of two cities.
Josh and Michael investigate: Why does she fall four separate times between Revelation 14 and 18? And why would the beast turn and devour the woman riding on its back (Revelation 17:16)? Josh presses Michael on both. He also asks about the clues that keep pulling readers in different directions: Jeremiah’s prophecy that ancient Babylon would never rise again (Jeremiah 51:26), and Peter’s greeting from “she who is at Babylon” (1 Peter 5:13).
Michael brings in Greg Beale, G.B. Caird, Sam Storms, Craig Keener and Richard Bauckham along the way. They also bring the conversation closer to home: the economic collapse in Revelation 18, whether the seven mountains of Revelation 17:9 have anything to do with the seven mountain mandate, and what it means today to hear “Come out of her, my people” (Revelation 18:4).
Join us for a deep theological discussion on the fall of Babylon.

Shawn Ryan turned to psychedelics to quiet what the war left behind. He came back from his last trip, on his own account, describing hell, then months of spiritual oppression and exorcism prayers from two priests.
ABOUT THE EPISODE:
For years the former Navy SEAL, CIA contractor, and host of one of the most-watched podcasts in the U.S., told his audience that psychedelic therapy helped him with PTSD and addiction. His most recent experience changed his mind. He describes months of nightmares, unexplained disturbances, and a series of exorcism prayers that still hasn’t settled the matter.

Joshua Lewis and Michael Rowntree reach the sixth bowl in their walk through Revelation, and with it the only verse in the Bible that names Armageddon (Revelation 16:16). Michael doesn’t think it describes a war between nations at Megiddo. Josh pushes back with Ezekiel 38–39, Joel 3, and Zechariah 14, and the two of them dive deep in back-and-forth dialogue.
IN THIS EPISODE:
- Why John calls it a mountain when Megiddo is flat
- What the Old Testament prophets saw, and what they couldn’t have known yet
- How “make war” gets used everywhere else in Revelation

Shownotes
Jesus crossed the Sea of Galilee, freed one man from a legion of demons, then sailed straight back (Mark 5:1-21). Why that shore?
Scott of BLK SHP Bible Talk suggests an answer, and it starts fourteen centuries earlier with Joshua. God told Joshua the conquest of Canaan wasn’t finished and said, “I myself will drive them out” (Joshua 13:6). Scott’s argument is that Jesus took that personally. Follow where he casts out demons, he says, and you’re tracing the ground Israel never cleared.
IN THIS EPISODE:
-What God says to Joshua about the unfinished conquest, and why Scott hears a promise in it
-Why “Galilee of the nations” (Isaiah 9:1) carries more weight in a Deuteronomy 32 worldview
-Capernaum, the far side of the lake, and the road toward Sidon: three exorcisms and what Scott sees connecting them
-Giants, Nephilim, and Scott’s view of where some demons come from
-The strong man of Matthew 12:29, and how Scott’s reading differs from the way John Wimber preached it

Shownotes
In Revelation 7, John hears a roll call: 144,000 from the twelve tribes of Israel. Then he turns to look and sees a crowd from every nation, too big to count. What you make of that moment says a lot about where you think Israel fits in the end times. Joshua Lewis sits down with Michael Rowntree to work through Scripture to better understand the role of Israel in the end times.
ABOUT THE EPISODE
We recorded this episode knowing the subject is tense. Antisemitism is showing up in places we never used to see it, including among professing Christians, while at the same time many believers have also been taught that loving Jesus means signing off on whatever the modern state of Israel does. So before we get to prophecy, Michael separates three things that get lumped together under one word: ethnic Israel, the nation of Israel, and God’s covenant people in Christ. He also explains his thoughts on “replacement theology” and where he stands on supersessionism.
The rest of the hour is Bible. Who are the people of God, and does Romans 9-11 promise a future for ethnic Israel? Did 1948 start a prophetic time clock? Who are the 144,000 in Revelation 7, what is the temple in Revelation 11, and who is the woman clothed with the sun in Revelation 12? Does a third temple have to be rebuilt in Jerusalem before the man of lawlessness appears (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4)? And what do we do with Daniel’s seventy weeks (Daniel 9:24-27)? Michael comes at this as an amillennialist, Josh leans a different direction on the temple, and neither of us expects to make either camp happy.
In the end, we hope our discussion drives you back to the Scriptures for further exploration.

"I don't believe in the rapture" has become a common line among Christians tired of end times hype. Michael Rowntree argues that every believer holds to a rapture of some kind. The real debate is when.
ABOUT THE EPISODE:
We're back in our series on the book of Revelation, and this time Josh and Michael discuss the timing of the rapture, examining pre-tribulation, pre-wrath, and post-tribulation views. They look at Revelation 3:10, Revelation 4, the 144,000 in Revelation 7, and Paul's warning in 2 Thessalonians 2 about the rebellion, the man of lawlessness, and the restrainer.
They also discuss what the early church expected. Where does John Nelson Darby fit, and what should we make of Irenaeus and Pseudo-Ephraem?
Then Josh asks the question many are too embarrassed to raise: if Jesus is coming down, why are we going up?
Join us for a biblically-grounded discussion about the Rapture.

Most of us have asked God for more power. Pastor Jon Thompson wants to know when you last asked God what you DON'T get.
Jon has spent nearly three decades on staff at Sanctus Church in Toronto. Along the way he led a functionally cessationist congregation into spiritual gifts, spiritual disciplines, and a three-year season of renewal. So when he says "God's 'no' is your best friend," it isn't a slogan. It comes from a close reading of Romans 12:3 and the "measure" God assigns to every gift.
ABOUT THIS EPISODE
A lot of believers were told that if they prayed harder, fasted longer, and lived holier, more anointing would follow. And when it didn't, some burned out, while others quietly stopped asking God for anything at all. Joshua Lewis sits down with Jon, author of Convergence, to examine whether that promise was biblical in the first place.
Josh and Jon discuss:
- Why Jon reads Romans 12:3 as a guardrail for leaders, not a ceiling to break through
- Whether praying, fasting, and holiness unlock "more" anointing
- What 1 Corinthians 14:1 and 2 Timothy 1:6 mean for pursuing spiritual gifts
- The regulative vs. normative principle
- Where godly ambition comes from, and where it doesn't
- Whether spiritual gifts are residential or occasional
- Common, office, gift, and assignment authority in deliverance ministry
They don't agree on everything. Join us for a healthy discussion among Christian brothers about how to biblically operate in spiritual gifts.

A generation raised on Left Behind was told to watch for a world leader who survives a fatal head wound and rises from the dead. Revelation 13 really does describe a death and a resurrection. But whose death? And when?
ABOUT THE EPISODE:
Joshua Lewis and Michael Rowntree pick up part two of our 'Who is the Antichrist?' conversation and work through the beast, the wound, and what John wants the church to expect.
We Explore:
- Where the "Antichrist rises from the dead" idea comes from in Revelation 13:3, 12, and 14
- Whether the wound points to a person, an empire, or something bigger
- Why Revelation 12 and 13 may need to be read together
- Nero, the Nero myth, and the partial preterist reading of Revelation 17
- The "eighth head" and whether a final persecuting ruler is still coming
- Why Revelation 11:15 gives believers a reason for hope, not fear

Shownotes
Michael Rowntree recently posted a short addressing Deion Sanders speaking in tongues at a press conference, and pointed to Paul's instruction that tongues shouldn't be spoken in the congregation with an unbeliever present unless an interpreter is there too, so the unbeliever isn't left thinking you've lost your mind (1 Corinthians 14:23, 14:27-28).
Comments came fast: isn't there a difference between tongues spoken publicly in a church service and a private prayer language used to build yourself up (1 Corinthians 14:4)? And what about in Acts when people are speaking in tongues with no interpreter?
Was Deion praying in a private prayer language or was he doing what Paul describes as speaking in tongues in church (in public) in front of a mix of believers and unbelievers, where the interpretation rule applies?
Joshua Lewis, Michael Miller, and Michael Rowntree will answer the comments, working through 1 Corinthians 14 and the book of Acts.Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

After our episode on John Bevere getting the gospel wrong (https://youtu.be/FXXvRTiLNbQ) blew up in the comments, one argument kept coming back: doesn't the Bible say your obedience keeps you saved? So we called in Theocast's Jon Moffitt to answer your questions.
ABOUT THE EPISODE:
Joshua Lewis and Jon Moffitt go straight into the texts people cited: Romans 8, Matthew 7, Matthew 19, James 2, John 15, and Galatians 3 and 5. They give a verse-by-verse case that Christ's finished work is what saves and sustains, and that obedience is the fruit of that faith, not the fuel keeping it alive.
If you've ever read James 2 and started sweating, or wondered whether the fruitless branch in John 15 is you, this conversation answers your questions.

Everyone loves to speculate about who the Antichrist is, but the word "antichrist" never once appears in the book of Revelation. So where did our mental picture of him actually come from, and does Scripture back it up?
ABOUT THE EPISODE:
Most of what we think about the Antichrist comes from pop culture, not Scripture. So what does the Bible say? Joshua Lewis interviews fellow co-host Michael Rowntree in part 3 of our Revelation series. Together, they work through 1 John, 2 Thessalonians 2, Daniel 7, and Revelation 13 to ask whether the Antichrist is one final man, a recurring category, or something in between.

What if the prophecy that came true wasn't from God at all? Scripture says that not only is that possible, but it's happened before. And, it's happening now. How can you tell the difference?
ABOUT THE EPISODE:
Michael Rowntree tackles the question, "Can demons prophesy?" The answer matters because it changes how prophecy gets practiced, interpreted, and discerned.
Starting with King Saul's unsettling character arc across 1 Samuel 10, 18, and 19, Michael traces how the same Hebrew word for prophesying gets applied to the Spirit of the Lord, to a harmful spirit, and to the prophets of Baal in 1 Kings 18.
Michael also examines whether demons can predict the future and explores why that question has to be answered carefully. Satan isn't the opposite of God, and he doesn't share God's omniscience, but Scripture and church history both describe a limited, counterfeit version of foresight that can look convincing.
Join Michael to better understand, from Scripture and church history, whether demons can prophesy and learn how to discern the real from the counterfeit.

Shownotes
Everyone agrees Christians are supposed to serve. The question this episode asks is different: did we accidentally turn the pastor into a trainer instead of a minister, and is that even biblical? Who should actually be ministering?
ABOUT THIS EPISODE:
Joshua Lewis, Michael Miller, and Michael Rowntree examine T. David Gordon's 1994 ETS paper (link below) that Ephesians 4:11-12 has been misread for decades. Gordon doesn't question whether ordinary Christians should serve. He questions whether the ordained minister was ever supposed to be a trainer at all, or whether that reading caught on because it fit American egalitarian, populist instincts more than it fit the text.
We're exploring Gordon's grammar, his word study, and his provocation about American church culture, and testing all three against Scripture ourselves. Does his argument hold up, or does he overreach? And if his proposition holds, what does that mean for churches built on the idea that pastors only equip the saints?

Shownotes
How should we read the Book of Revelation? It's easy to write it off as the most confusing book in the Bible, with multiple viewpoints on how to interpret it. Joshua Lewis sits down with fellow co-host Michael Rowntree, author of the new book The World Made Right, to discuss the rules and perspective we should apply to apocalyptic literature (the genre Revelation belongs to). Michael says the moment we reach for a newspaper to decode Revelation, we've already misread it.
ABOUT THE EPISODE:
Michael and Josh examine why the Apostle John calls his own book "signified" in the very first verse, why Revelation interprets itself and leans on the Old Testament, and why the book was written to form the church, not just predict its future.Michael breaks down the layers of genre at work, apocalyptic, prophetic, and a letter all at once, and why getting that right changes how you read every image in the book. They also explore recapitulation, the way Revelation circles back and re-magnifies the same events (Revelation 4, 6, 11, 16) instead of moving in a straight timeline, and discuss the four major interpretive lenses believers bring to the book: preterist, futurist, idealist, and historicist.
Join us to hear why Michael says, "Revelation is for us, but it's not about us," and how reading it with the right rules and perspective turns it into a book of hope, not fear.

Shownotes
Skillet's John and Korey Cooper just described spiritual abuse they endured at an NAR church. Unfortunately, their story shapes a pattern showing up in many churches across the country. Josh, Michael and Michael will speak with a former elder of the Cooper's church to understand what happened and learn how to better recognize spiritual abuse.
ABOUT THIS EPISODE:
John and Korey Cooper recently sat down for a long, detailed interview on Alisa Childers' YouTube channel (link to full episode below) and described what they say happened inside Korey's lifelong church. Leadership they'd trusted for decades had quietly embraced New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) theology. When the Coopers began asking direct theological questions, they say the response wasn't a proper answer. Instead, it was pressure, prophetic words used against people close to them, and warnings that leaving would cost them God's blessing.
In reviewing the Coopers' story, Joshua Lewis, Michael Miller, and Michael Rowntree will walk through what the New Apostolic Reformation actually teaches about apostolic authority, why "sound doctrine" so easily gets redefined once a leader claims that kind of role, and why asking a direct question about a church's beliefs should never be treated as rebellion. We'll look at where this movement's theology runs into what Scripture actually says about who qualifies to lead (1 Timothy 3, Titus 1:9), who the church is actually built on (Ephesians 2:20), and whether any leader, even a real apostle, is above correction (Galatians 1:8).
Join us to better understand the Coopers' story and learn how to spot spiritual abuse before it costs you.

Shownotes
John Bevere's "Under Cover" has sold close to half a million copies and shaped how a generation of churches views submission. In a previous episode, Joshua Lewis and Michael Miller discussed the dangers of the type of authority Bevere's book promotes (see link below). But does "Under Cover" also present a different Gospel?
ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Josh and Michael return to "Under Cover" to track how often the book confuses law and gospel, treating obedience as the source of faith and the ground of salvation instead of its fruit. They compare Bevere's own quotes against Luke 14, Matthew 7, Galatians, Hebrews 11, and James 2.
Unfortunately, what they find is a consistent pattern: obedience is the ground of assurance instead of its fruit, and faith is treated as something you earn your way into rather than something freely given.
Join us to understand where Bevere's book veers from Scripture and how to better recognize doctrinal drift when you see it.

Ask a first-century rabbi if biblical prophecy had ceased, and he'd say yes. Ask him if God still spoke, and he'd tell you about the Bat Kol.
ABOUT THIS EPISODE:
Josh, Michael and Michael explore the biblical case that prophecy operates at more than one level of authority. Scripture itself is uniquely inspired, infallible, and authoritative, while other genuine prophetic revelation can still occur without becoming Scripture. To explore this more, we turn to rabbinic Judaism and the fascinating concept of the Bat Kol.
Bat Kol means "daughter of a voice." It's rabbinic Judaism's term for a diminished echo of prophecy that kept showing up long after the age of the biblical prophets. This historical evidence suggests that the idea of genuine, non-canonical revelation was not foreign to ancient Jewish thought and may provide important historical support for the continuity view of prophecy.Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

Rowntree's Church666, Digital ID & the Mark of the Beast: What Revelation Says | Michael Rowntree

Can you take the mark of the beast by accident? Get it through an RFID chip? A vaccine? A barcode to buy and sell? It's a question that's kept believers concerned, especially with new technologies appearing. But most answers on the Internet start in the wrong place. Michael Rowntree starts in the Bible with Ezekiel and Deuteronomy.
ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Michael walks through Revelation 13:16–18, then follows it back to its Old Testament roots. His case: the mark of the beast was never a physical mark, but a spiritual insignia, a counterfeit of God's own seal. What it actually signifies is allegiance.
Join Michael to understand:
- Why Ezekiel 9 and Deuteronomy 6 hold the real key to interpreting Revelation 13:16–18
- How the seal of God in Revelation 7:3 and 14:4 and the mark of the beast counterfeit each other
- Why the mark speaks of allegiance, ownership, and protection, and why none of those happen to you by accident
- A closer look at gematria, the practice of calculating 666 to pin down a specific antichrist, and why Michael thinks it falls short
- What Michael believes it actually means to prepare for the mark of the beast today

Shownotes
A lot of churches either forbid tongues in public altogether or let them run with no interpretation and no order. Scripture never actually gives you those two options. So what does the Bible prescribe for the gift of tongues in church?
ABOUT THIS EPISODE:
Josh, Michael, and Michael sit down with the question that splits churches on both sides of the Word and Spirit divide: what does it actually look like to practice the gifts of tongues and interpretation, named together in 1 Corinthians 12:10, in corporate worship, biblically? Not in theory, but in practice, on a Sunday, in a room full of people, with order intact and the body edified.
Cessationist churches simply avoid the conversation entirely by not recognizing that the gift of tongues is still for today. Meanwhile, many charismatic churches practice tongues publicly with real sincerity but without the structure Paul actually prescribed: no clear call for interpretation, no one recognized as an interpreter of tongues, no accountability, no sense of "let it be done for building up," for the edification of the church (1 Corinthians 14:26). Both extremes miss what Scripture is actually asking for.
As such, many believers are left without a clear, biblical middle to stand on. We'll walk through 1 Corinthians 14 verse by verse, laying out Paul's actual instructions: what tongues in the assembly is for, why interpretation matters, who should speak and how many, and why "let all things be done decently and in order" (1 Corinthians 14:40) isn't a suppression of the gift but the framework that lets it function safely.

Why do we need a nuclear family? What actually determines the difference between a boy and a girl? These feel like brand-new questions, but the ideas that make them askable were actually seeded four hundred years ago. Dr. Jordan Cooper joins us to trace them back to their source.
ABOUT THE EPISODE:
Lutheran theologian and pastor Dr. Cooper walks Josh through the philosophical roots of the modern progressive mind and the broader philosophy of the left: Descartes and Cartesian doubt, Kant's Copernican Revolution, Hume's empiricism and skepticism, Hobbes's social contract theory, and Thomas Paine's radical individualism, the intellectual scaffolding beneath everything from critical theory to postmodernism. It's the same scaffolding underneath the questions above. Once Hume argues that even something as basic as cause and effect is just an assumption rather than a certainty, and Kant argues that categories like space and time are imposed by the mind rather than discovered in the world, the door opens to treating categories like family and gender the same way: not given, but constructed, and open to being remade.
Dr. Cooper's book Makers of the Modern Mind grew out of years doing campus ministry at Cornell, watching students absorb progressive assumptions and secular philosophy they'd never actually examined. Drawing on his background in Lutheran theology and Christian apologetics, this conversation is a guided tour through where those assumptions came from, and why the question underneath almost all of them, in philosophy, politics, and the modern culture wars alike, is simply: what is a human being?

A pastor pulls a college kid on stage, lays hands on him, tells him to "speak the holy language," and when nothing comes out, tells him his faith is weak. That's the true story that opens a recent Dial In Ministries episode on tongues. We're responding to their episode . . . and we agree with more of it than you'd expect.
ABOUT THE EPISODE:
Jonny Ardavanis and Hank Bowen make a solid biblical case that tongues in Acts and 1 Corinthians means real human languages, not gibberish or glossolalia in the ecstatic-speech sense, and that "tongues of angels" in 1 Corinthians 13 is rhetorical, not literal. We agree with them on both.
Where we split: they're arguing from a cessationist frame — that the sign gifts of the Holy Spirit ceased with the apostles. We're continuationists and believe the gift of tongues is still active in the church today. We'll discuss where we agree and disagree on the exegesis, and why we land in a different place on whether spiritual gifts like this one continue.

Pharaoh's magicians didn't fake it. Exodus 7 says they did the same thing Moses and Aaron did, "by their secret arts." So what does the Bible actually say is happening when magic works?
ABOUT THE EPISODE:
Nelly Van Sickle, pastor at Evergreen Calvary Chapel and creator of The Dancing Toaster Podcast joins Remnant Radio to walk through his "History of Magic" series, a biblical dig into where magic in the Bible actually comes from, starting in the ancient Near East with Egypt and Mesopotamia.
Egypt called its force Heka, something built into the fabric of creation itself, not invoked so much as cooperated with. Mesopotamian mythology named its spirits and negotiated with them directly. If the power on display in Old Testament magic was real, where did it actually come from, and why does Deuteronomy 18 treat some of it as off-limits instead of harmless nonsense? Dr. Michael Heiser used to point out that God doesn't legislate against things that don't exist, and that idea sits underneath this whole conversation: a biblical worldview takes demonology seriously precisely because it takes the supernatural worldview of Scripture seriously.
From there, the conversation turns to names, authority, and who actually gets to use the power of Jesus's name in spiritual warfare (think Sons of Sceva). Nelly also shares how researching the ancient occult reshaped his own theology of the supernatural, moving him from cautious and functionally cessationist toward a more continuationist conviction, wanting to see the gifts of the Spirit practiced rightly.
The occult is surging back into Western culture, and most Christians don't have a framework for it beyond "that's not real" or "don't go near it." This episode is an attempt to give you one. Join us as we trace the history of magic and the authority we have in Christ to stand against it.

Shownotes
Have you ever prayed for a breakthrough that never came, and wondered what that says about your faith? Dr. Craig Keener, one of the most respected New Testament scholars, says we're only looking at half the story. He joins Remnant Radio to explore the theology of suffering - not as a theological afterthought for the Spirit-filled believer, but an essential part of the story Scripture actually tells.
ABOUT THE EPISODE:
Dr. Craig Keener, F.M. and Ada Thompson Professor of Biblical Studies at Asbury Theological Seminary, has spent his career defending the biblical and historical case for the miraculous. His two-volume Miracles is an essential read for believers (also available in his shorter version Miracles Today). His newest book on suffering turns to the question that so often gets left unanswered: what do we do when we've prayed, and prayed, and the diagnosis doesn't change?
Keener explores what Scripture actually shows us about suffering and healing side by side, including in the lives of the apostles. The conversation moves through difficult ground in Christian theology: whether suffering can be God's will, how the crucifixion holds together the greatest evil and the greatest good in human history, and why the two churches in Revelation given no correction from Christ are the two enduring persecution.
This isn't an argument against miracles. Keener has given his career to defending them. Rather, it's an invitation to hold suffering and hope together, the way Scripture always has.
