The Remnant Radio's Podcast

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.

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.

The unseen battle is more real than most of us realize — and the Bible has a lot more to say about it than we've been taught.

Dr. Joel Muddamalle, director of theology and research at Proverbs 31 Ministries, joins Joshua Lewis to unpack the cosmic spiritual warfare woven throughout Scripture — from the Garden of Eden to the cross of Christ. Drawing on his PhD research in biblical theology under Dr. Patrick Schreiner and the late Dr. Michael Heiser, Joel walks us through the divine council worldview, the two-family household of God, and why the supernatural rebellion described in Genesis 6 and Deuteronomy 32:8–9 isn't just ancient history — it's the backstory of the gospel itself.

We cover:
-Eden as the mountain of God and the original household of the divine council
-The sons of God (Ben Elohim), the Nephilim, and what Genesis 6 is actually describing
-The Tower of Babel, the scattering of nations, and the gods placed over them
-How Christ's death, resurrection, and ascension disarms the rulers and authorities
-What spiritual warfare actually looks like in the everyday life of a believer

Bethel Church has shut down the BSSM Alumni Facebook Group — a 5,000+ member community where former students had been raising concerns, sharing experiences, and asking for accountability. Now Bethel has issued a public statement. We read it. We talked about it. And we're not going to pretend it doesn't raise serious questions.

To be clear, we're continuationists. We believe in the ongoing work of the Spirit. We want Spirit-filled churches to thrive, which is exactly why we care when transparency breaks down, when safe church processes get sidestepped, and when "move this to proper channels" starts to sound more like damage control than genuine pastoral care.

What does real accountability look like when leadership is under scrutiny? Does centralizing these conversations protect the vulnerable or does it protect the institution? What does real repentance and meaningful accountability look like when leadership is under scrutiny?

If you love the gifts of the Spirit and you love the Word, you already know these two things aren't in tension: a church can be Spirit-filled and biblically accountable. We're holding out for both.

This conversation is for anyone who cares about charismatic theology, church reform, and building communities where the most vulnerable are protected - not silenced.

We've spent a lot of time talking about what biblical accountability looks like at the national level - Bethel, Shawn Bolz, Mike Bickle, Chris Reed, or Michael Brown to name a few - examining cover-up culture that protects powerful leaders while silencing victims. But here's the question we keep getting in the comments and in our inboxes: What do I do when it's happening in my own church?

That's a harder question — and honestly, a more important one.

In this episode, Joshua Lewis, Michael Miller, and Michael Rowntree come back to ground level: your actual local church, where you know these people, where your kids go to Sunday school, where you serve. What does Matthew 18 actually look like when you're sitting across the table from an elder who won't listen? When do you escalate? When do you leave? When do you go public following 1 Timothy 5 — and is that ever right for a layperson to do?

We're walking through the biblical process step by step, giving you real categories for navigating one of the hardest situations a believer can face. This isn't about gossip, mob justice, or protecting institutions. It's about protecting people — and honoring the Word of God in the process.
