The Lovesick Scribe Podcast

The NAR has often been described as being a web of connections. From well-known high-profile leaders to local ministers, many people may not realize how deep the connections go and how expanse is the reach. There are aspects of this movement that initially make subtle inroads into denominations and even Biblically sound churches, which can lead to significant changes in the doctrine of that church. It is important to recognize the beliefs so that believers can be more aware should they grace the doors of their local church.Join me in this discussion with Menno Zweers, as we reflect on his latest book about the New Apostolic Reformation and NAR connections.

Is the NAR a secondary issue? Why is there such a focus on exposing the doctrines and practices concerning this ever-growing movement? American Gospel has released its latest installment, examining the New Apostolic Reformation more in-depth. This is a project that has been years in the making.Join me in a recent discussion with Doreen Virtue and Emily Massey, as we discuss American Gospel: Spirit and Fire, and we share our personal involvement in this docuseries and why this project matters. Emily Massey:Emily Massey is at https://emilyrosemassey.comand http://www.wewouldratherhavejesus.comDoreen Virtue:https://www.youtube.com/@Doreen_VirtueAmerican Gospel 3: Spirit and Fire is now available, and if you have friends or family caught up in NAR churches, Word of Faith teaching, or the charismatic prosperity gospel, this docuseries was made for them. This video series is also perfect for churches to warn about deception. You can order your own copy of American Gospel 3 Spirit and Fire at https://www.americangospelfilm.com/spirit--fire-ag3.html

Several doctrinal streams run into the New Apostolic Reformation. One of those streams is that of the New Age. Sadly, this movement attracts those who have had past dealings with New Age teachings. On the surface, the beliefs appear as Biblical Christianity with an emphasis on the supernatural, but when peeling back the layers of practices and verbiage used by key leaders in the NAR, part of the root system finds its way back into the New Age. Join me as we look at Angela Scafidi, a former New Ager, who is becoming more influenced by leaders within the NAR, and why this is concerning both for her and her followers.Resources:https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/from-the-new-age-frying-pan-to-the-deliverance-fire/id1757877739?i=1000662646160https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/is-denying-deliverance-blasphemy-against-the-holy-spirit/id1535754914?i=1000693957488https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/does-scripture-agree-with-my-personal-experience/id1757877739?i=1000662646210My info:Website: http://www.lovesickscribe.comSubscribe to my blog here: http://eepurl.com/dfZ-uHInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lovesickscribe/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lovesickscribeblog/

Kathryn Krick and GeorDavie are continuing to be exposed, not only for their false teaching, but also for sexual abuse allegations against GeorDavie. A recurring pattern noted from Krick is that she teaches her followers not to listen to those who oppose her, claiming that she and GeorDavie are both being persecuted and facing jealousy from opponents. One of the things that Kathryn Krick has stated is that those who oppose her and her spiritual father are calling the good done by them evil. This brings concerning conclusions to light given the recent allegations against GeorDavie and Krick's knowledge of such actions. Join me as we look at GeorDavie's response to these allegations and what Isaiah 5:20 says as opposed to Kathryn Krick's interpretation. We will consider what is truly evil that is being called good.

The loss of a loved one. A severed relationship. The departure from false teaching and all that is familiar. No matter the situation, grief is encountered at various times in our lives. Grief is experienced in sickness, death, relationships, and church related issues. Mourning such things is understandable and may feel insurmountable, but there is hope in Christ. Join Dave and Jenkins and me as we discuss the process of grief in various situations from a Christian perspective.Dave Jenkins:https://www.youtube.com/@Servantsofgracehttps://servantsofgrace.org/My info:Website: http://www.lovesickscribe.comSubscribe to my blog here: http://eepurl.com/dfZ-uHInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lovesickscribe/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lovesickscribeblog

What would the Apostle Paul had done if he were offered an award calling him the Apostle of the Year? We could speculate as to how he would respond, but we know that neither he nor any others received temporal rewards. Recently, Alexander Pagani was awarded the Apostle of the Year by an organization in Atlanta. Not long after this award, it was announced on social media that the church founded by Pagani in New York was closing its doors. Now, he is working diligently to open his apostolic hub in Atlanta, Georgia, after leaving New York last year.Join me as we consider these topics surrounding Alexander Pagani and Amazing Church Global.

When leaving a church and false teaching, there may be reluctancy to attend another church due to experienced spiritual abuse and prior circumstances. There may be legitimate fear that further trauma may ensue and that spiritual leaders cannot be trusted. Some people may think that online community, Christian coaches, podcasts, or a support group are sufficient for discipleship and understanding God's Word. But the local church with faithful leaders is vital for the Christian and is instrumental in testifying of Jesus Christ.Join me as we examine an online Christian coach, as well as recognizing that online support and resources should be supplemental, and we understand Biblically why attending the local church is important for Christians, even after enduring spiritual abuse and difficulty.

With testing and scrutinization upon spiritual leaders within the NAR comes pushback and criticism from proponents of those leaders being tested. Claims of being judgmental and critical heresy hunters are common things lofted at those who would dare to question the anointed ones. Now, some self-proclaimed prophets are issuing words of judgment upon those who righteously judge such leaders. Join me as we apply 1 John 4:1 to a modern-day prophet making such claims.

Recently, Vlad Savchuk released a video, teaching people about the octopus spirit, a demonic entity that is said to be mind-controlling and invasive to one's life. Though he is not the first person to speak about this spirit, his video garnered much online traction. Join me as we review his recent teaching about the octopus spirit and his use of Bible verses to illustrate this spirit that he admits is not named in Scripture.

Charisma Magazine has platformed numerous leaders over the years, and they have published books discussing spiritual warfare and the demonic, prophecy, and apostolic teachings by these very leaders. With the recent publication and endorsement of Kathryn Krick, it seemed relevant to look at a recent video shared by Charisma, featuring Katie Souza. Join me as we consider Katie's alleged prophetic visions, Charisma's recent publication of her book pertaining to aliens, and if Charisma or Souza are reliable theological sources for the masses.
