Who is the mysterious “Angel of the LORD” who keeps showing up all over the Old Testament—and why does he talk, act, and receive worship as if he is God Himself? In this episode, Joshua Lewis walks through key Old Testament passages to argue that the Angel of the LORD is not a created angel at all, but the pre-incarnate Son of God, Jesus Christ, appearing long before Bethlehem.

From Hagar in the wilderness, to Abraham on Mount Moriah, to Moses at the burning bush, to Gideon in the wine press, these Old Testament stories form a consistent pattern: this Angel carries the divine name, makes covenant promises, swears by Himself, declares “I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,” accepts worship and sacrifice, and is recognized as Yahweh—with no correction from Scripture. Josh carefully exegetes key passages like Genesis 16, Genesis 22, Exodus 3, and Judges 6, showing how the biblical authors themselves move seamlessly between “the Angel of the LORD” and “Yahweh,” presenting one divine being in more than one person.

Along the way, we explore how this fits within Christian theology, biblical prophecy, and the developing revelation of the Trinity. How can God the Father be “invisible” and yet God is repeatedly seen in the Old Testament? How does the New Testament’s teaching that the Son is “the image of the invisible God” resolve this tension? And what does it mean for spiritual warfare, for covenant, and for our reading of the entire Bible if Jesus has been present and active in redemptive history from the very beginning?

If you’re hungry for a deeper dive into Christian theology, Old Testament theophanies, and the identity of the Angel of the LORD as the pre-incarnate Christ, this episode will help you see Jesus woven all through the story of Israel - speaking, saving, commissioning, judging, forgiving, and revealing the Father long before the incarnation.

Did Bethel Church actually repent over the Shawn Bolz scandal? In this episode of The Remnant Radio, we carefully examine the public statements and actions of Bethel Church leadership—including Bill Johnson, Kris Vallotton, and Danny Silk—to determine whether their response represents genuine biblical repentance or merely institutional damage control. From questions of prophetic accountability and false prophecy to the broader credibility of charismatic theology, this conversation aims to help believers think clearly, biblically, and sober-mindedly about what true repentance looks like in church leadership.

We walk step-by-step through what Bethel leaders said, what they admitted, what they failed to address, and how their response compares to the biblical standard for repentance, confession, and restoration. We also interact with the wider conversation sparked by Mike Winger and others, exploring how prophecy abuse and leadership silence can damage trust in the church and distort the witness of the gospel. As continuationists who affirm the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit, we believe accountability is not an attack on the charismatic movement—it is essential to its integrity.

Critical Questions Discussed:
-Is Bethel's apology genuine or just PR spin?​
-What does biblical restoration require beyond saying "I'm sorry"?​
-Why did it take Mike Winger's exposé for leadership to act?​
-What about Kenneth Copeland, The Passion Translation, and other concerning endorsements?​
-How can churches protect victims while reconciling fallen leaders to the body of Christ?

Our goal is not to tear down, but to tell the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15), to test everything and hold fast to what is good (1 Thessalonians 5:21), and to call the Church to holiness, transparency, and faithfulness to Christ. If you care about sound theology, responsible use of spiritual gifts, and protecting God’s people from spiritual harm, this conversation is for you.

Special thanks to the Bethel alumni who held their leaders accountable—your faithfulness in speaking truth in love catalyzed this moment of repentance. This could be a watershed moment for the charismatic movement if genuine fruit follows these words.

What does biblical prophecy with integrity actually look like? In a charismatic landscape riddled with false prophecies and manipulation, the Remnant Radio crew is calling the Church back to accountable, Christ-centered prophetic ministry. Join Joshua Lewis, Michael Rowntree, and Michael Miller as they lay out a roadmap for practicing spiritual gifts with character, biblical grounding, and zero tolerance for spiritual abuse.

This isn't just another critique of charismatic excess—it's a solution. The hosts dive deep into prophetic integrity at three critical levels: local church ministry, conference settings, and national prophetic words. Discover practical frameworks for training believers in the gift of prophecy, establishing accountability systems, and creating environments where the Holy Spirit can move without manipulation or data mining scandals.

What You'll Learn:
-What the democratization of the Holy Spirit means  
-How to implement prophetic accountability in your local church, including recording prophecies and establishing prayer teams
-The crucial difference between a missed prophecy and a false prophet
-Why national prophetic words should be the exception, not the norm
-Guardrails to prevent spiritual abuse through prophetic manipulation
-Biblical examples of prophetic training (Samuel, the 72 elders, Acts 21:4)

The Remnant hosts explore 1 Corinthians 14, Acts 2, Numbers 11, and other key scriptures while sharing real stories from their own ministry experiences. They're not afraid to call out abuses while also casting vision for what healthy prophetic culture could look like in the body of Christ.

Whether you're a cessationist questioning if spiritual gifts are real, a charismatic burned by prophetic abuse, or a pastor wanting to cultivate the gifts in your congregation, this episode offers a balanced, biblically-sound approach to prophetic ministry that honors both the power of the Spirit and the authority of Scripture.

Can science actually PROVE God exists? Dr. Antony Latham joins us to explore how the cosmos, consciousness, and the complexity of life all point to divine design—and why the Big Bang might be Christianity's best friend.

In this episode of Remnant Radio, Joshua Lewis sits down with retired physician and author Dr. Antony Latham to tackle one of the most critical questions facing believers today: Does science contradict Christian faith, or does it actually confirm it?

What We Discuss:
-The Big Bang & Biblical Creation 
-Fine-Tuning of the Universe
-The Cambrian Explosion

What happens when leaders stay silent about abuse? In this episode, the Remnant Radio hosts—Joshua Lewis, Michael Rowntree, and Michael Miller—break down Mike Winger's explosive six-hour investigation into Shawn Bolz and the devastating coverup culture plaguing charismatic Christianity.​

The hosts dive deep into the evidence Mike Winger presented showing how Shawn Bolz faked prophetic words through data mining, committed sexual misconduct, and how Bethel Church leadership knew about it for years but failed to warn their own congregation. This isn't just disappointing—it's dangerous. When victims suffered devastating consequences from fraudulent prophecies, where was the public accountability?​ 

Joshua, Michael, and Michael also respond to Kris Vallotton's recent sermon that many see as damage control rather than genuine accountability. They examine his claims about social media fake news, family confidentiality, and shepherding complexity—but find these arguments fall short of biblical standards for church discipline.​ 

This episode tackles critical questions every Christian needs to wrestle with: 

-What does biblical prophecy actually look like versus manipulation and fraud?​ 
-When should church leaders publicly expose false prophets and abusers?​ 
-How do we balance mercy with justice against deception?​ 
-What does 1 Timothy 5:19-20 require when multiple witnesses come forward?​ 

Whether you're navigating charismatic theology, concerned about spiritual abuse, or simply want to understand what biblical accountability looks like in the modern church, this episode provides crucial insights.

The 2026 prophecies are out! We're putting those 'words for the year' under the biblical microscope, examining whether the predictions hold water or if they're just repackaged headlines with spiritual wrapping paper.

Cindy Jacobs, James Goll, Bishop Joseph Garlington, Samuel Robinson, Kevin Zadai, and Rick Renner have released prophecies shaping how millions of Christians view 2026. But are these genuine revelations from God, or carefully crafted statements vague enough to always land somewhere close to "right"? The Remnant Radio hosts are digging into Scripture to test these prophecies with discernment, wisdom, and solid biblical theology.​​

The Bible gives clear instructions to test prophetic words (1 Thessalonians 5:20-21, 1 John 4:1). True biblical prophecy isn't about vague predictions that sound spiritual. The team will examine whether these prophecies contain revelation from God or enough wiggle room to never technically be wrong. True biblical prophecy isn't about farming the news cycle and repeating what is already known. The hosts will examine whether the claims are already being discussed in public forums. And true biblical prophecy doesn't come from a false prophet - someone who leads people away from Christ through their words or actions (Deut 13:1-5). This is where proper theology and discernment separates genuine revelation from religious performance.

Whether you follow these prophetic voices or you're skeptical of the modern prophetic movement, this episode will challenge your thinking about biblical prophecy and evaluating spiritual claims. The guys aren't here to mock—they're here to do what Scripture calls every believer to do: test everything, hold fast to what is good, and protect the flock from deception.

What happens when well-meaning advice becomes another layer of trauma? Michael Rowntree unpacks the book of Job to reveal how our responses to suffering people can either deepen their pain or become a pathway to healing—and why the hardest lesson might be learning when to simply sit in silence.

Drawing from biblical wisdom and modern trauma therapy principles, this episode explores the dangerous beliefs that blame victims for their suffering, the common Christian platitudes that intensify pain rather than heal it, and the revolutionary practice of presence over advice. You'll discover why seven days of silence proved more helpful than lengthy speeches, how to make space for extreme emotions without condemnation, and why accepting mystery is sometimes the most honest response to suffering.

Whether you're a pastor, counselor, friend, or simply someone who wants to minister compassion effectively, this teaching will transform how you approach hurting people. Michael challenges prosperity gospel thinking and retribution theology while offering a tender, Christ-centered alternative rooted in wisdom about how God's people should bear one another's burdens.

The ministry of presence. The freedom to lament. Honoring complexity. These aren't just counseling techniques—they're reflections of how Jesus himself approached the broken and bruised. This is trauma-informed care as God designed it.

Kat Kerr claims she's been caught up to heaven multiple times, and her latest "revelation" involves deceased conservative activist Charlie Kirk now residing in a mansion, eating ice cream, and wielding thousands of arrows to dispel darkness on earth. She also says saints like Oral Roberts work in Jesus's "headquarters" distributing money and ideas to the living through a crystal ball.

But here's the question: Does any of this line up with what the Bible actually teaches about heaven, the afterlife, and spiritual warfare? When prophecies don't come true and platforms keep amplifying these voices, what does that do to the credibility of the charismatic movement?

In this episode, we unpack the biblical, theological, and practical problems with these claims. We examine what Scripture says about necromancy, testing prophecy, and false prophets in the church. This isn't about being harsh—it's about protecting Christian theology and ensuring genuine prophetic ministry can thrive.

We're charismatic Christians who believe in spiritual gifts including prophecy, tongues and healing—but Scripture commands us to test every prophetic word. ​

The charismatic movement needs discernment more than ever. If we want biblical prophecy and genuine spiritual warfare to thrive, we must reject false prophets who prioritize fanciful visions over Scripture. Join us as we defend Christian theology while practicing the gifts of the Spirit with biblical integrity.

Is trauma-informed counseling biblical—or is it undermining the sufficiency of Scripture?

In this episode of Remnant Radio, we take a careful, biblical look at trauma-informed care, responding to recent critiques from pastors, biblical counselors, and theologians who argue that trauma-informed counseling is harming the church. Some claim that if Christians would simply repent, trust Jesus, and obey Scripture, trauma-informed approaches would be unnecessary—or even dangerous.

So how should Christians think about trauma, trauma-informed counseling, and trauma-informed therapy?

In Part One of this two-part discussion, we begin by defining trauma and trauma-informed care, ensuring we are speaking clearly and accurately. We then distinguish between trauma-informed pastoral counseling and trauma-informed therapy, including approaches such as EMDR, somatic experiencing, internal family systems, and polyvagal-informed therapy.

We examine whether trauma-informed counseling is supported by Scripture by turning to the Book of Job, one of the Bible’s most extensive treatments of suffering, trauma, and pastoral response. Job’s condemnation of his friends as “miserable comforters” provides a sobering warning against theologically misinformed counsel that intensifies suffering rather than alleviating it.

This episode also addresses key theological concerns, including:
-The sufficiency of Scripture for salvation and sanctification
-The doctrine of common grace and its relationship to medicine, psychology, and therapy
-Whether trauma-informed care excuses sin or undermines repentance
-How physiological trauma responses differ from sinful anxiety
-Whether modern psychology should ever be subordinate to biblical authority

Part Two will move into practical application, offering a biblical framework for trauma-informed care that upholds Scripture, guards against theological compromise, and equips pastors, counselors, and Christians to care well for those who have suffered trauma. To be released next week!

This episode dives into the high-profile prophetic words for 2025 released by Cindy Jacobs and the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders—and asks the hard question: what actually came to pass, and what didn’t?

In this Remnant Radio conversation, Joshua Lewis, Michael Rowntree, and Michael Miller walk through the major 2025 prophecies from Cindy Jacobs and ACPE, examining themes like national shaking, global conflict, economic turbulence, spiritual warfare, and calls to intercession and repentance. Using Scripture as the plumb line, they explore how Christians should approach national-level prophetic words, how to test them, and what it really means to practice prophetic accountability in the local church and the broader body of Christ.

The guys discuss the tension between honoring prophetic ministry and refusing to give in to spiritual hype, asking honest questions about what to do when timing, details, or outcomes don’t match what was proclaimed. 

If you care about Christian theology, charismatic gifts, and the future of prophetic ministry, this episode will help you think more clearly about modern prophecy, discernment, and integrity in the prophetic movement. Join the dialogue as Remnant Radio continues to pursue that radical middle—fully open to the Holy Spirit, fully anchored in the Word.

Ever feel like your church calendar skips straight from Christmas cheer to Easter celebration—missing something crucial in between? You're not alone, and Lent might be the answer.

Join Joshua Lewis and author Elyse Fitzpatrick to understand why Lent matters for every believer—not just the high church crowd. Elyse shares her transformative Ash Wednesday experience during the pandemic and why spending 40 days reflecting on Christ's suffering changed everything about her faith.

This isn't about earning brownie points with God through religious rituals. It's about understanding that before glory comes suffering—and why Western Christianity desperately needs to recover this truth. Elyse unpacks how fasting reveals our weakness so we can rest in Christ's strength, and why biblical lament looks nothing like hopeless despair.

This conversation challenges our therapeutic, comfort-obsessed culture. Discover why the church calendar isn't just liturgical tradition—it's discipleship that keeps Christ's life and work constantly before our eyes. Learn how to practice godly lament, embrace voluntary weakness, and find hope in the wilderness seasons of life.

In This Episode:
-Why low-church Christians should care about Lent and the church calendar
-The difference between fasting for merit versus fasting for remembrance
-How to practice biblical lament with resurrection hope
-Why American Christianity avoids suffering and what we lose because of it
-The hidden grief of Palm Sunday and burned palm branch symbolism
-Balancing community service with personal solitude during Lent
