Kat Kerr claims she's been caught up to heaven multiple times, and her latest "revelation" involves deceased conservative activist Charlie Kirk now residing in a mansion, eating ice cream, and wielding thousands of arrows to dispel darkness on earth. She also says saints like Oral Roberts work in Jesus's "headquarters" distributing money and ideas to the living through a crystal ball.But here's the question: Does any of this line up with what the Bible actually teaches about heaven, the afterlife, and spiritual warfare? When prophecies don't come true and platforms keep amplifying these voices, what does that do to the credibility of the charismatic movement?In this episode, we unpack the biblical, theological, and practical problems with these claims. We examine what Scripture says about necromancy, testing prophecy, and false prophets in the church. This isn't about being harsh—it's about protecting Christian theology and ensuring genuine prophetic ministry can thrive.We're charismatic Christians who believe in spiritual gifts including prophecy, tongues and healing—but Scripture commands us to test every prophetic word. ​The charismatic movement needs discernment more than ever. If we want biblical prophecy and genuine spiritual warfare to thrive, we must reject false prophets who prioritize fanciful visions over Scripture. Join us as we defend Christian theology while practicing the gifts of the Spirit with biblical integrity.0:00 – Introduction1:07 – Who Is Kat Kerr and Why Testing Prophecy Matters6:38 – Video 1: Charlie Kirk in Heaven20:52 – Video 1 Analysis35:22 – Video 2: More Charlie Kirk Claims50:12 – Biblical Analysis: No Grief in Heaven?55:27 – The Danger of False Hope1:00:00 – Final Thoughts and Closing WarningsPROPHECY REVIEWS: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMsjeViSScFHAxEWVUTMiJvLHWHF7hOE1 Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

Is trauma-informed counseling biblical—or is it undermining the sufficiency of Scripture?In this episode of Remnant Radio, we take a careful, biblical look at trauma-informed care, responding to recent critiques from pastors, biblical counselors, and theologians who argue that trauma-informed counseling is harming the church. Some claim that if Christians would simply repent, trust Jesus, and obey Scripture, trauma-informed approaches would be unnecessary—or even dangerous.So how should Christians think about trauma, trauma-informed counseling, and trauma-informed therapy?In Part One of this two-part discussion, we begin by defining trauma and trauma-informed care, ensuring we are speaking clearly and accurately. We then distinguish between trauma-informed pastoral counseling and trauma-informed therapy, including approaches such as EMDR, somatic experiencing, internal family systems, and polyvagal-informed therapy.We examine whether trauma-informed counseling is supported by Scripture by turning to the Book of Job, one of the Bible’s most extensive treatments of suffering, trauma, and pastoral response. Job’s condemnation of his friends as “miserable comforters” provides a sobering warning against theologically misinformed counsel that intensifies suffering rather than alleviating it.This episode also addresses key theological concerns, including:-The sufficiency of Scripture for salvation and sanctification-The doctrine of common grace and its relationship to medicine, psychology, and therapy-Whether trauma-informed care excuses sin or undermines repentance-How physiological trauma responses differ from sinful anxiety-Whether modern psychology should ever be subordinate to biblical authorityPart Two will move into practical application, offering a biblical framework for trauma-informed care that upholds Scripture, guards against theological compromise, and equips pastors, counselors, and Christians to care well for those who have suffered trauma.

This episode dives into the high-profile prophetic words for 2025 released by Cindy Jacobs and the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders—and asks the hard question: what actually came to pass, and what didn’t?In this Remnant Radio conversation, Joshua Lewis, Michael Rowntree, and Michael Miller walk through the major 2025 prophecies from Cindy Jacobs and ACPE, examining themes like national shaking, global conflict, economic turbulence, spiritual warfare, and calls to intercession and repentance. Using Scripture as the plumb line, they explore how Christians should approach national-level prophetic words, how to test them, and what it really means to practice prophetic accountability in the local church and the broader body of Christ.The guys discuss the tension between honoring prophetic ministry and refusing to give in to spiritual hype, asking honest questions about what to do when timing, details, or outcomes don’t match what was proclaimed. If you care about Christian theology, charismatic gifts, and the future of prophetic ministry, this episode will help you think more clearly about modern prophecy, discernment, and integrity in the prophetic movement. Join the dialogue as Remnant Radio continues to pursue that radical middle—fully open to the Holy Spirit, fully anchored in the Word.Reviewing Prophecies Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMsjeViSScFHAxEWVUTMiJvLHWHF7hOE10:00 – Introduction 4:30 – Psalm 25 and numerology-based themes for 20256:44 – “Reset of the nations” and Trump as “wartime president” 10:38 – War intensifying, spiritual warfare framing, and burdens on intercessors15:03 – Strategic-level spiritual warfare and worship/Tabernacle of David critique26:28 – “Enforcing victory,” economic collapse warnings, and Haman’s sons as “principalities”48:11 – Israel, eschatology, and nationalism in prophetic words1:07:41 – Final exhortations on testing prophecy Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

In this episode of Remnant Radio, we debunk the“prophetic words” from Jeremiah Johnson. Joined by guest co-host JonMark Baker with the Minor Prophets Podcast and Michael Miller, we clarify up front that this is not a cessationist critique—everyone on the panel affirms and practices continuationist gifts, including prophecy. Our aim is to model biblical “testing and weighing” (1 Cor. 14:29; 1 Thess. 5:19–22) for the health of the church.We walk through multiple clips from Johnson’s “2025” prophecy, assessing whether the claims are genuinely prophetic, testable, and rooted in sound exegesis—or whether they function as “words of obvious,” built from current events and broadly plausible predictions. We also address methodological red flags, including numerology-style reasoning, vague claims that cannot be meaningfully verified, and the way certain segments appear to preempt criticism by framing accusations as “Leviathan” twisting words. Along the way, we discuss the importance of judging not only the content of a prophetic word but also the prophet’s credibility and fruit, especially when public prophecy has a track record of harm, manipulation, or failed predictions.How to Test Prophecy Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMsjeViSScFHAxEWVUTMiJvLHWHF7hOE1 Join the conversation, test everything, and hold fast to what is good.00:00 Introduction02:15 Why charismatics must test prophecy04:30 How bad prophecy damages the church07:15 Trump as a “wartime president” prophecy10:05 Assassination warnings and predictable claims11:55 Israel conflict prophecy evaluated12:50 Candace Owens “Spirit of Jehu” prophecy14:40 Kanye West prophecy that backfired16:15 Mike Bickle and “passing the crown” prophecy19:05 Explaining “words of obvious”20:55 Can this be Googled?
