The 3,000 Hidden Connections in Your New Testament | Dr. Ben Gladd with The Gospel Coalition Apr 15, 2026

Show notes

Did you know the Bible has thousands of hidden threads woven through it that most Christians have never been shown? There are approximately 350 direct Old Testament quotations in the New Testament, but over 3,000 allusions - indirect references scholars have documented that never made it into study Bibles.
Dr. Benjamin Gladd, executive director of the Carson Center for Theological Renewal at The Gospel Coalition joins the show to talk about Connecting Scripture, a unique, first-of-its-kind study Bible he co-authored with G.K. Beale, that makes exploring these threads possible for the everyday Christian.
This isn't just a study Bible upgrade. It's a whole new way of reading. Ben explains the difference between a direct quotation - those flashing red lights moments like "that it might be fulfilled" - and an allusion, which functions more like an Easter egg hidden in the text. Think of John 1:1 ("In the beginning was the Word") deliberately echoing Genesis 1:1.
We also get into some of the harder questions. What do you do when the New Testament seems to use the Old Testament in ways that invert or even contradict the original meaning? And how did the Apostles read the Scriptures? Did the Old Testament authors actually know what they were writing?
This episode is the kind of biblical theology content that feeds your soul and sharpens your mind. Don't miss it.

Are All Unbelievers Demonized? What the Bible Says Apr 14, 2026

Show notes

Are most, if not all, unbelievers demonized? It sounds extreme. But Scripture might be less ambiguous about this than the modern church wants to admit.
Most Christians default to one picture when they hear the word "demonized" - the Gadarene demoniac from Mark 5, a naked man in the tombs, chains broken, screaming at Jesus. That's a level 10. But the Bible describes demonic influence across a spectrum, and the passages we tend to skip suggest that every person outside of Christ is somewhere on it.
Paul says the "god of this age" has blinded the minds of unbelievers (2 Corinthians 4:4). He describes Satan as the spirit actively at work in "the sons of disobedience" (Ephesians 2:2). John writes that "the whole world lies in the power of the evil one" (1 John 5:19). And in 1 Corinthians 10, Paul makes the explicit connection between idol worship and demon worship, which means that since everyone worships something before coming to Christ, no one gets a pass.
This isn't a fringe charismatic idea. It's the Bible's own framework for understanding the spiritual condition of the lost. And if it's true, it changes everything: how we pray, how we evangelize, and what it means to walk someone out of darkness and into the kingdom.
In this episode, we examine the biblical case and ask the most important follow-up question: what should believers actually be doing about it?

Lies, Plagiarism, and Cover-Up: Everything You Need to Know About Jeremiah Johnson Apr 08, 2026

Show notes

What happens when a charismatic prophet's own documented words contradict each other repeatedly, across years, in print and on video? Joshua Lewis and Michael Rowntree bring independent researcher Joshua Harris onto Remnant Radio to walk through the cumulative case on Jeremiah Johnson: prophetic inconsistency, documented plagiarism, and a pattern that the body of Christ needs to weigh carefully.
Joshua Harris has spent months building a documented, timestamped case across multiple categories, and what he found goes far deeper than one bad prophecy or one misremembered detail.
This is the one-stop episode on everything regarding the allegations against Jeremiah Johnson: false prophecy, plagiarism, fabricated testimony, and what a leaked leadership meeting reveals about how Jeremiah is spinning the narrative behind closed doors.

Hot Takes on Deliverance: Impartation, Generational Spirits, Sleeper Agent Demons & More Apr 07, 2026

Show notes

What if your theology of deliverance has blind spots you haven't considered yet? Joshua Lewis, Michael Rowntree, and Michael Miller consider some provocative ideas about how the demonic operates, and then push back on each other to find solid ground.
This is theology done with friends around a table. Not from a pulpit. These are hot takes, not finished doctrines - and that's the point.
If you've ever felt theologically homeless between 'demons don't exist' and unaccountable, hyper-charismatic excess, this episode was made for you.

Demonic Impartation from False Teachers? What the Bible Says Apr 02, 2026

Show notes

What if the altar call you attended wasn't from God at all? And what if the spirit being imparted had nothing to do with the Holy Spirit? These aren't hypothetical questions, they're the testimonies of real believers who've come to us with real experiences.
Joshua Lewis has spent over five years wrestling with an uncomfortable question: can a Christian receive a demonic impartation from a false teacher? In this episode, he lays out the biblical case, engages the hard testimonies, and refuses to give an easy answer, because the scriptures don't offer one.
The goal of this episode isn't to make you afraid of every altar call. It's to make you fluent enough in the true gospel that you can tell the real thing from a counterfeit. Because the shield isn't fear -- it's the gospel itself. Know it well enough to recognize when someone is preaching another Jesus, another spirit, another gospel (2 Corinthians 11:4). That discernment could be the thing that keeps you free.

Reviewing Catholic Exorcist on The Shawn Ryan Show Mar 31, 2026

Show notes

Millions of people just got a deep-dive on demonic oppression, generational curses, and exorcism from a Catholic exorcist on one of the biggest podcasts in America. We're taking a look at the conversation and seeing how these practices line-up with Scripture.
Father Chad Ripperger is a Roman Catholic priest, theologian, philosopher, and exorcist serving in the Archdiocese of Denver, and founder of the Society of the Most Sorrowful Mother, a religious community dedicated to spiritual warfare, deliverance ministry, and traditional Catholic liturgy. His recent appearance on the Shawn Ryan Show wasn't a fringe internet moment, but drew millions of viewers.
The episode covered generational curses, ancestral spirits, and the structure of the demonic realm. Some of what Ripperger teaches resonates with Scripture, while some of it raises real questions worth reviewing.
We'll look at what the Bible actually says about this, where Catholic and Protestant deliverance ministries share common ground, and where they don't.

Show notes

COLLABORATION: This episode was produced and hosted by the Wake Up and Win Podcast in collaboration with Mike Winger, Stephen Powell, and Michael Miller with Remnant Radio.

Pastor Jake Kail publicly acknowledged that the scandal surrounding Jeremiah Johnson's plagiarism and false prophecies had merit. In a leaked call, the pastors network out of the North Georgia Revival responded with cover-up culture, siding with Jeremiah Johnson and rebuking Jake. Mike Winger, Blaise Foret, Michael Miller and Stephen Powell review this call and respond to why Jake Kail's post was biblical, according to 1 Timothy 5:20.

Melissa Dougherty on Apologetics and Raising Kids Who Can Think Mar 25, 2026

Show notes

Are you raising your kids to survive the spiritual war or just survive Sunday school? Melissa Dougherty (apologist, author, and fellow YouTube creator) is back on Remnant Radio, and this time she's brought a children's gospel allegory and a straight-talking framework for raising kids who can actually defend their faith in the real world.
Most Christian parents want to pass the faith to their kids, but somewhere between memorizing Psalm 23 and answering questions about dinosaurs and reincarnation, the strategy gets fuzzy. Melissa Dougherty, known for her work on new thought, new age, and Christian apologetics, brings her background in early childhood education to a conversation that every Christian parent needs to hear.
We dig into the real challenge facing Christian parents today: how do you disciple kids in a world that is actively working to undo everything you teach them? Melissa offers practical wisdom for every parenting stage, from toddlers asking "Who made God?" to teenagers staring blankly through family devotion time.
Additionally, we discuss how to celebrate the resurrection with joy and intentionality, why Christians should be making a bigger deal of Easter than Christmas, and how to think through the Easter Bunny, Easter eggs, and commercial culture without either being legalistic or losing the point.

When Science Discovers Demons: The Rise of Secular Exorcism Mar 24, 2026

Show notes

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.

How to Heal & Find a Healthy Church | Church Hurt, Red Flags & Real Recovery Mar 18, 2026

Show notes

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.
