When Science Discovers Demons: The Rise of Secular Exorcism

What happens when secular clinicians start doing what Jesus commissioned His disciples to do?Licensed psychiatrists, psychologists and therapists are encountering something in their patients they can't fully explain: external entities that aren't part of the self, that want to destroy, torment, and deceive. What they're calling "unattached burdens," the body of Christ has been calling demons for two thousand years. Josh is joined by Michael Miller and guest David Fish to dig into Robert Falconer's book The Others Within Us. They discuss what happens when the clinical sciences start bumping into the supernatural.Robert Falconer is not a Christian and doesn't believe in demons - at least not officially. But in his book The Others Within Us, he documents something that every deliverance minister will recognize: external entities that enter traumatized people and set up shop. They come in through open wounds. They offer false comfort. They isolate. They destroy. And when you try to reason with them, they can't see anything true or good.He calls them Unattached Burdens. We call them demons. Same thing.We walk through Falconer's framework step by step, the Internal Family Systems model that underlies it, the diagnostic tests he uses to tell human "parts" from outside entities, and the clinical process he follows to try to remove them. It's genuinely impressive how much he gets right. And it's genuinely concerning because without the authority of Christ, without repentance, without the Holy Spirit, "secular exorcism" may be simply moving entities around more than casting them out.C.S. Lewis's "chronological snobbery" gets brought up for good reason: the ancient near east understood spiritual warfare better than the modern materialist west ever has. But the secular world is waking up. Insurance companies are covering Reiki. New Age and Wicca are exploding. The spiritual landscape is shifting fast, and the body of Christ needs to recover its authority in this space.0:00 – Introduction2:10 – Guest David Fish9:44 – Robert Falconer's Framework17:45 – Diagnosing UBs vs. Self37:42 – How UBs Enter41:31 – Secular Exorcism Methods49:32 – Sending UBs Away1:04:54 – Closing ThoughtsINTRO TO DELIVERANCE MINISTRY: https://www.theremnantradio.com/intro-to-deliverance-ministrySubscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

How to Heal & Find a Healthy Church | Church Hurt, Red Flags & Real Recovery

If you've been burned by the church, this episode is for you.Church hurt isn't rare, it isn't new, and it isn't evidence that something is uniquely broken in you. From prophetic words that never came to pass, to pastors who weaponized loyalty language, to leadership boards that protected predators instead of people, church hurt and spiritual abuse happen. Many believers are left sitting on the edges of the body of Christ, quietly debating whether walking back through those doors is even worth it.What makes this moment different is that people are no longer just recognizing these patterns at the national level. They're seeing them in their own local churches: the same cover-ups, the same gaslighting, the same spiritual abuse dressed up in theological language. And the question they're asking isn't just "what went wrong?" It's "how do I ever trust again?"In this episode, Joshua Lewis gives you the theological grounding to stop blaming yourself, the cultural and structural markers to help you spot a healthy church before you're two years deep in another painful situation, and the practical steps to walk back in - slowly, wisely, and without getting burned again. If you or someone you love is theologically homeless right now or wondering how to find a healthy church, this one is worth your full attention.0:00 – Introduction0:15 – Church Hurt Narrative5:24 – Disillusionment Defined6:13 – Leadership Failures Normalized10:12 – Enemy's Isolation Tactic12:14 – Head vs. Heart Tension13:27 – Nine Marks Overview20:09 – Cultural Markers (Krueger)27:28 – Finding a Healthy ChurchRESOURCES MENTIONED:📖Nine Marks of a Healthy Church by Mark Dever https://a.co/d/01cz5F9t📖Bully Pulpit by Michael Kruger https://a.co/d/081hfOmw🌐9Marks Ministry: www.9marks.orgSubscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

God's Judgment Is GOOD News | Dr. Tom Schreiner on Justice, Hell & What the Bible Actually Teaches

The mainstream church doesn't want to talk about judgment, but the Bible won't stop. Dr. Tom Schreiner, one of the most respected New Testament scholars in the evangelical world and a professor at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, joins Remnant Radio for a straight-shooting conversation on what Scripture actually teaches about divine justice, eternal punishment, and why recovering this doctrine is urgent for the body of Christ right now.If you want to understand why divine justice is not God's dark side but His very goodness on display, this conversation is for you.0:00 – Introduction1:43 – Dr. Schreiner's Background3:35 – Cultural Allergy to Judgment8:07 – God's Holiness & Justice11:19 – Wrath vs. Judgment22:39 – Annihilationism vs. Eternal Conscious Punishment39:09 – Jesus on Judgment41:20 – Atonement & Propitiation46:29 – Judgment as Vindication50:03 – Justification & Works56:02 – Assurance of SalvationSubscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

Are Charismatic Leaders Repeating Rome's Biggest Mistakes?

Maybe history doesn't exactly repeat itself, but it does have a way of rhyming. In many charismatic spaces today, some of the most troubling patterns from pre-Reformation Rome have resurfaced, and the body of Christ deserves an honest conversation about it. As continuationists, we aren't here to tear down Spirit-filled Christianity, but rather protect it.In this episode of Remnant Radio, Joshua, Michael, and Michael walk through parallels between the errors of Rome and what we're seeing in charismatic church culture today. We'll cover the full spectrum: from the way extra-biblical practices have entered in to the church, to the devastating sexual immorality scandals that keep surfacing, to the cultural pressure that silences anyone who dares to question a prominent voice and more.If you've been burned by a church system that protected its brand over its people, this one's for you. If you're a charismatic believer who still believes in the gifts but can't ignore what you're seeing, we invite you to pull up a chair.0:00 – Introduction3:11 – Charismatic Self-Critique8:40 – Papal Authority Parallels25:07 – Unverified Miracle Claims35:53 – Indulgences & Simony46:42 – Extra-Biblical Practices56:31 – Clergy as Mediators1:05:18 – Sexual Immorality Parallels1:09:54 – Silencing DissentSubscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.
