Leaving the NAR is a journey with a lot of twists and turns. What begins with one red flag grows until there are too many warnings to ignore. In episode 7 we interview Jason Walkerow, just 30 days into having his eyes open to the unbiblical teachings found in the NAR. If you’re just waking up to the truth or fresh out of this dangerous movement, this one is for you!

Legalism was the sin of the Pharisees, and it’s still alive in the church today. Not only in fundamentalist churches, even the NAR isn’t immune. While it may look different from one movement to another, feeling the need to “perform” good enough for God leads to a life of guilt, shame & condemnation that can take years to heal from. In this episode we touch on what legalism is, some ways that it shows up in a church & what you can do to begin to heal as you learn a more biblically balanced life in freedom.

How do you know if your church is being influenced by NAR teaching? In this episode, we’ll hit 8 of the most common telltale signs that you can watch out for. The NAR thrives in part because of a lack of knowledge about what it is and how destructive it can be. Eventually the ATMOSPHERE SHIFTS away from sound bible teaching and ACCELERATES into an extra biblical FRESH REVELATION fueled FLOW of error. We need to know what listen for & learn to identify these buzz words and teachings imported from the heretical Latter Rain movement, repackaged for a modern audience. NAR

Worship encounters full of manifestations of the Spirit, are where lives are forever changed. So we are told. But do these manifestations prove that the Spirit is working? Do we really usher in the presence of God? Are Christians taught to be uninhibited in worship, and automatically accept that what we are seeing and experiencing is the work of God? The Bible lists many virtues & fruit that a believer should seek to cultivate, and on this episode we’ll be exploring the reality of these encounters - which could either be true worship according to scripture or an exercise of the flesh, but it cant be both.

Honor culture in charismatic/NAR churches is an unbiblical idea that originated in the 20th century, not the pages of scripture. In this episode we explore the origins of the “touch not God’s anointed” that began with the shepherding movement, and trace its evolution. By making connections, we can guard ourselves and our churches from falling under toxic leadership.

Episode 2 - New and immature believers don't yet have the Bible knowledge to separate biblical teaching from man made. How else can we explain why so many have fallen into NAR / Hyper charismatic false teaching? In this episode we'll look at 3 "prophecies" and see if there is really any substance. Discernment is the result of bible study over time, not a gut feeling that something is right or not. It's time to take popular teaching to task, and learn to defend ourself and others from wolves among the flock. Open your eyes to one of the oldest tricks in the enemies' playbook, getting us to believe things that aren't from God as if they really were.

Episode 1 is about growing up in dysfunctional church, having a lot of unanswered questions about the faith & eventually leaving altogether - only to be saved and introduced to the one thing that FINALLY delivered answers and clarity. This is the short version of how I got here & what the podcast is about. For those who aren't so sure if what they've been taught is really biblical, those who are seeing a lot of red flags or anyone else who is beginning to wonder why the things they see and hear in church don't look or sound much like scripture.
