The Charismatic Movement: Is Any of It Real?
When the dust settles after spiritual abuse and public scandal, is any of this charismatic stuff actually real—or should you walk away from it all for good? Many believers are asking hard questions: “If so much has been falsified, are all prophecies fake? Are healings just wishful thinking? How do I trust again?” In this episode of Remnant Radio, Joshua Lewis, Michael Rowntree and Michael Miller open up as pastors and fellow survivors of charismatic fallout to help you process the pain without abandoning the work of the Spirit.The hosts will examine:-Can a “cheater” still give an accurate prophetic word?-How do we discern between genuine Christian prophecy, demonic counterfeits, and pure manipulation?-What do we do with verified healings or real words of knowledge that came through morally compromised ministries?-How do we honor spiritual gifts without platforming abusive leaders or building new celebrity cultures?This episode is deeply pastoral and aimed at those who feel spiritually disoriented, retraumatized, or jaded after charismatic abuse. If you’re struggling with charismatic ministry gone wrong, this is a safe space to process without being shamed for your doubts. You’ll hear how to move from gullibility, through cynicism, into true discernment—learning to separate God’s voice from human abuse, and the gifts of the Spirit from the sins of leaders.0:00 – Introduction1:53 – Pastoral scandal response3:05 – Miller’s abuse testimony4:00 – Josh’s prophetic trauma7:18 – Gifts still real biblically12:00 – Abuse across church offices17:19 – Cheaters getting it right19:48 – Four power sources23:04 – Don’t trust exposed prophets28:16 – Ordinary means of grace30:56 – Healing and discernment process36:01 – Submit gifts to God39:18 – Final pastoral encouragement Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.
