The content helps with Come Follow Me, but with so many other topics, from art to mental health. You also support the podcast and allow us to keep doing it when you join Patreon. We would love to have you with us!Janiece Johnson and Kerry discuss important and hard lessons that are learned in the early Church as they figured out what were appropriate manifestations of the Spirit, and how Satan imitates revelation. They look at how God revealed to His prophet the things they, and we, need to learn in order to avoid being deceived. They help us see the need for growing in our revelatory relationship with God. They explore how misunderstanding God's revelatory process can lead to us being "overthrown", and how we can grow in the light and thus overcoming darkness rather than being overcome by it. They look at how that which is worldly and fallen lead to deception as well. They focus on how Christ is the one who overcomes, and that if we don't come to Christ and accept His light in His way we will be overcome rather than overcoming through Christ. They also look at how important it is to follow the revelation we receive, and how we need to use it to know what voices to listen to and what to accept from the voices around us. We are grateful for our executive producers, B. Fisher and K. Bradley, and for all our generous and loyal donors. We are also very grateful for all our Patreon members.
