Is your church safe? We’re exposing grooming practices in the church & offering biblical steps to protect yourself and others!
Join Joshua Lewis and Dr. Natalie Atwell as they discuss the insidious issue of grooming within church environments. We’ll define grooming behavior, explore its subtle tactics, and contrast it with healthy mentorship and discipleship. Dr. Atwell provides practical insights on identifying red flags, responding to spiritual abuse, and creating a safe church culture. This episode is essential for all Christians, especially pastors, youth leaders, and anyone in a position of spiritual authority.

Hey Guys, Josh Lewis here. Have you ever wondered if the miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit—like prophecy, healing, and tongues—really stopped after the apostles? Cessationists claim they vanished throughout church history, but that's a myth. In Remnant Radio’s new ebook, History of Spiritual Gifts: The Myth of Cessationism, I dive into church history to reveal the active use of spiritual gifts by early church fathers
