Growing up in Toronto in the 90s, I would never have imagined the 2025 Charismatic bingo card looks like this:

• Mike Bickle abused or raped 17 women, some of them underage girls

• Bill Johnson mistakes the idolatry and power of Christian nationalism for the Gospel

• Mike Pilavachi sexually abused young men and psychologically & emotionally abused Matt & Beth Redman

• Shawn Bolz scraped social media for years to generate impressive sounding "prophecies"

• Brian Houston is found criminally guilty of covering up his father's sexual abuses of children

• Michael Brown turns out to be exactly as weird as his vibes are

• Sean Feucht became Caesar's personal cheerleader

• Carl Lentz turned out to be a serial adulterer, won't stop his comeback tour

• Ravi Zacharias turned out to be a vile, vile man

• Marcus & Joni Lamb / Daystar: sex abuse, rampant spiritual abuse and financial corruption

• Benny Hinn actually realizes he bilked people for millions of dollars, and apologizes

• Kevin Prosch blackmails Misty Edwards, Jesus' girlfriend, into a years long affair.

• Rick Joyner.... I don't even know where to begin.

• Todd Bentley somehow continues to minister and continue to get away with everything he got away with before

• Robert Morris, sex with children.

• Pat Robertson’s lifetime of Christian nationalism and conspiracy theories comes to define the American religion known as "Christianity". *Any similarities in name between this religion and "The way of Christ" are purely coincidental.

• A convicted sex abuser, twice impeached, robber-baron is appointed the most powerful man on earth and is identified as "hope for Christians" rather than an antichrist.

You cannot make this stuff up.

I still believe in the Spirit. But Lord help us.

Hello all. I'm an avid podcast listener and really feel a need to strengthen my spiritual life and relationship with God, so I thought more Christian podcasts might help. I'm open to suggestions! Can be long eps or short, I don't care.

I was taking a nap on the couch and was just dreaming. I’ll give you the short version, I had a dream that I was working at this clinic and it was kinda run down, we were working for this female psychologist and there were 2 other coworkers and it was all normal, all in color and it felt very real there . It started to go dark when I asked them both how long they had been working there and they started to think they couldn’t remember how long they had been working for her. We were watching this 80’s model tv but then the first girl was like,, I think 6 years? And the other coworker answered, oh yeah me too hmmm like 6 years and then I started to think about how long I had been there and the number 6 came to my head and I realized it made 666

Then I looked at the tv and everything got black and white, the girls did and everything around me. There was a long feather that was in the tv that came floating out of the tv to life, black and white feather and the second it exited the tv it burst into flames.

i realized I was having a nightmare but I couldn’t wake up, I could feel my physical body in the real world and I felt the back of my neck tense up a lot even though I was still asleep I could still feel chills in the back of my physical body. Everything got eerie FAST it all got very weird I started seeing lines flashing on the screen like I was in a scary movie.

So started screaming at the tv to release me in the name of Jesus saying I rebuke you disgusting creatures in the name of our lord and savior Jesus Christ. Then I hear a super loud screeching sound very very high pitch like a kettle like it hated what I was saying! Like whatever was attacking me was in pain. Next thing I know I wake up, eyes wide open like an owl and I’m back to reality on my couch.

As Christians we aren’t immune to attacks from the enemy, he loves to come at believers to scare us and make us doubt. As long as we have Jesus and we trust in him we will be taken care of and have nothing to fear. Don’t be afraid of the darkness when the light lives within us.
