When someone shares a prophetic word, how do you know it’s really from God? Joshua Lewis explores one of the most important—and often misunderstood—topics in the charismatic world: how to test prophecy biblically.Too often, Christians fall into the trap of either uncritically embracing any “prophetic word” or cynically rejecting genuine words from the Lord. But Scripture commands us to “test everything; hold fast what is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21).In this video, Joshua unpacks:✅ Why testing prophecy is essential for a healthy church✅ Key biblical criteria for discerning true prophecy from deception✅ Common errors in modern prophetic practices, including syncretism, numerology, and “fortune cookie” prophecies✅ The role of spiritual community and accountability in weighing prophecy✅ How prophetic words should always align with Scripture, the character of God, and the historic Christian faithWhether you’re a pastor, a prophetic minister, or a believer navigating today’s prophetic movements, this episode will equip you with solid biblical tools to discern what is truly from the Spirit of God.0:00 – Intro: How to Test Prophecy3:35 – Is The Prophecy Biblical?9:44 – What Is the Source Of The Prophecy?15:21 – Can The Prophecy Even Be Tested?21:14 – Test All Things in Community.24:15 – What Is the Doctrine Of The Prophet?28:32 – What Is the Character Of The Prophet?32:04 – What Is the Track Record Of The Prophet?INTRO TO THEOLOGY COURSE:💥GET $50 OFF: https://www.theremnantradio.com/intro-to-christian-theology-special-offer Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

Dr. Craig Keener: Facing Fire | Persecution in 1 Peter
1 Peter was written to believers facing unimaginable persecution-from torture and crucifixions to even being burned alive and used as human torches in Nero's gardens. What can we learn from these first century believers? The book of 1 Peter is a powerful guide for navigating suffering for your faith.In this episode of Remnant Radio, we sit down with leading New Testament scholar Dr. Craig Keener to discuss his commentary on 1 Peter and explore its incredibly relevant message for believers today.Dr. Keener unpacks how the original recipients of 1 Peter were called “foreigners” and “resident aliens,” a term that highlighted their vulnerable status in a hostile world, especially in the face of impending persecution.We dive into crucial themes directly related to suffering and persecution, including:-Seeing ourselves as “foreigners” in this world.-How suffering for Christ became a badge of honor.-Responding to mistreatment with Christlike love, not retaliation.-Standing firm against Satan’s attempts to make us fall away through pressure.ABOUT THE GUEST:📖BOOK: https://a.co/d/8gh3af5ABOUT THE REMNANT RADIO:📧 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER https://www.theremnantradio.com📚 COURSES & CONFERENCES https://www.theremnantradio.com💝 SUPPORT OUR MINISTRY: • Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/c/TheRemnantRadio• Make a Donation: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=GC2Z86XHHG4X6&ssrt=1686780016992Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

Andrew Klavan: How Reading about Murder Led Me to Christ
What happens when a crime novelist steeped in atheism starts asking hard questions about good, evil, and the meaning of life? In this episode of Remnant Radio, @AndrewKlavan —bestselling author, Daily Wire host, and former atheist—reveals how reading some of the darkest literature in Western history unexpectedly paved his road to Christ. From Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment to the disturbing philosophies of the Marquis de Sade, Klavan shares how the reality of evil pointed him toward objective moral truth—and ultimately, the beauty of the Gospel. This is not your typical testimony; it’s a mind-bending journey through murder, meaning, and redemption.We also unpack Klavan’s latest book, The Kingdom of Cain: Finding God in the Literature of Darkness, where he argues that some of the most haunting stories in art and culture can become unlikely tools of grace. Can Christians engage deeply with stories of depravity without compromising their faith? Is modern Christian art too safe to be spiritually transformative? And why is beauty, even when born from evil, such a powerful witness to truth? This episode is a bold invitation to think more deeply about art, suffering, and the soul. Don’t miss it.00:00 – Intro: Why Talk About Murder and Faith?03:42 – Finding God in the Literature of Darkness07:38 – The Philosopher Who Drove Klavan Away from Atheism11:24 – Can Evil Stories Lead to Salvation?15:30 – Why Shallow Christian Art Fails the Church19:18 – What Makes Dark Stories Spiritually Powerful23:02 – How Crime and Punishment Changed Klavan’s Soul28:15 – The Crisis of Evangelical Storytelling33:10 – Rules vs. Stories: Why Jesus Taught in Parables38:06 – Drawing the Line: When Art Becomes Corrupt44:20 – From Hollywood to Holiness: Klavan's Turning Point51:00 – Final Thoughts: Why Christians Must Engage the DarknessABOUT THE GUEST:📖BOOK https://a.co/d/3CPfLVGSubscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.
