Ever heard of Ayahuasca? Ayahusaca is a sacred plant medicine used in ceremonies by indigenous communities in the Amazon rainforest. And there are some crazy stories out there from people reporting spiritual experiences after taking Ayahuasca. You can find numerous testimonies of atheists and drug addicts experiencing God and coming to Christ after this experience - descriptions of another dimension that is 'more real than reality'. In recent years, Ayahuasca has gained popularity in Western cultures, leading to the rise of Ayahuasca tourism and retreats - and even churches promoting its spiritual benefits. But is this something Christians should be experiencing? If the substance is bringing people to Christ, should churches be exploring it? Or is this something we should mark and stay away?

Join us as we discuss the moral and biblical implications of Ayahuasca.

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
