This is my heart. One for unity. And one for us to grow in discernment. In this episode, I address the growing exposure of cover-up culture, false prophecy, and spiritual abuse within parts of the modern church—particularly within charismatic and prophetic movements, though not limited to them. In light of recent investigations and public apologies, we examine the biblical difference between apology and repentance, what Scripture actually teaches about false teachers and fruit, and why Christians should not be surprised when wolves are revealed among the flock. This episode also speaks directly to: How to test teaching biblically without reacting in extremes Why discernment matters in every denomination How churches should prepare to care for those leaving abusive or deceptive movements The danger of itching ears, emotionalism, and biblical illiteracy Why repentance must be visible, costly, and long-term Scripture references include Matthew 7, Acts 20, Jeremiah 14 & 23, 2 Timothy 4, Proverbs 28, and 2 Peter 2. This is a sober but necessary call for the church to remain grounded in the whole counsel of God, faithful to truth, even when it costs. Follow @hertheology on Instagram & YouTube.
