The Remnant Radio's Podcast

What does biblical prophecy with integrity actually look like? In a charismatic landscape riddled with false prophecies and manipulation, the Remnant Radio crew is calling the Church back to accountable, Christ-centered prophetic ministry. Join Joshua Lewis, Michael Rowntree, and Michael Miller as they lay out a roadmap for practicing spiritual gifts with character, biblical grounding, and zero tolerance for spiritual abuse.

This isn't just another critique of charismatic excess—it's a solution. The hosts dive deep into prophetic integrity at three critical levels: local church ministry, conference settings, and national prophetic words. Discover practical frameworks for training believers in the gift of prophecy, establishing accountability systems, and creating environments where the Holy Spirit can move without manipulation or data mining scandals.

What You'll Learn:
-What the democratization of the Holy Spirit means  
-How to implement prophetic accountability in your local church, including recording prophecies and establishing prayer teams
-The crucial difference between a missed prophecy and a false prophet
-Why national prophetic words should be the exception, not the norm
-Guardrails to prevent spiritual abuse through prophetic manipulation
-Biblical examples of prophetic training (Samuel, the 72 elders, Acts 21:4)

The Remnant hosts explore 1 Corinthians 14, Acts 2, Numbers 11, and other key scriptures while sharing real stories from their own ministry experiences. They're not afraid to call out abuses while also casting vision for what healthy prophetic culture could look like in the body of Christ.

Whether you're a cessationist questioning if spiritual gifts are real, a charismatic burned by prophetic abuse, or a pastor wanting to cultivate the gifts in your congregation, this episode offers a balanced, biblically-sound approach to prophetic ministry that honors both the power of the Spirit and the authority of Scripture.

Can science actually PROVE God exists? Dr. Antony Latham joins us to explore how the cosmos, consciousness, and the complexity of life all point to divine design—and why the Big Bang might be Christianity's best friend.

In this episode of Remnant Radio, Joshua Lewis sits down with retired physician and author Dr. Antony Latham to tackle one of the most critical questions facing believers today: Does science contradict Christian faith, or does it actually confirm it? From his own journey as a teenage skeptic who lost faith studying evolution to becoming a Christian in Kenya and diving deep into biology, consciousness, and cosmology, Antony brings a unique perspective that bridges the gap between the lab and the sanctuary.​

What We Discuss:
-The Big Bang & Biblical Creation 
-Fine-Tuning of the Universe
-The Cambrian Explosion
-Consciousness & the Soul 
-Moral Law & Objective Beauty 
-Miracles & an Open Universe 

Whether you're wrestling with doubts about faith and science, or you're looking for solid apologetic tools to strengthen your biblical worldview, this conversation will equip you with evidence-based answers rooted in both Scripture and scientific discovery.

What happens when leaders stay silent about abuse? In this episode, the Remnant Radio hosts—Joshua Lewis, Michael Rowntree, and Michael Miller—break down Mike Winger's explosive six-hour investigation into Shawn Bolz and the devastating coverup culture plaguing charismatic Christianity.​

The hosts dive deep into the evidence Mike Winger presented showing how Shawn Bolz faked prophetic words through data mining, committed sexual misconduct, and how Bethel Church leadership knew about it for years but failed to warn their own congregation. This isn't just disappointing—it's dangerous. When victims suffered devastating consequences from fraudulent prophecies, where was the public accountability?​ 

Joshua, Michael, and Michael also respond to Kris Vallotton's recent sermon that many see as damage control rather than genuine accountability. They examine his claims about social media fake news, family confidentiality, and shepherding complexity—but find these arguments fall short of biblical standards for church discipline.​ 

This episode tackles critical questions every Christian needs to wrestle with: 

-What does biblical prophecy actually look like versus manipulation and fraud?​ 
-When should church leaders publicly expose false prophets and abusers?​ 
-How do we balance mercy with justice against deception?​ 
-What does 1 Timothy 5:19-20 require when multiple witnesses come forward?​ 

Whether you're navigating charismatic theology, concerned about spiritual abuse, or simply want to understand what biblical accountability looks like in the modern church, this episode provides crucial insights.

The 2026 prophecies are out! We're putting those 'words for the year' under the biblical microscope, examining whether the predictions hold water or if they're just repackaged headlines with spiritual wrapping paper.

Cindy Jacobs, James Goll, Bishop Joseph Garlington, Samuel Robinson, Kevin Zadai, and Rick Renner have released prophecies shaping how millions of Christians view 2026. But are these genuine revelations from God, or carefully crafted statements vague enough to always land somewhere close to "right"? The Remnant Radio hosts are digging into Scripture to test these prophecies with discernment, wisdom, and solid biblical theology.​​

The Bible gives clear instructions to test prophetic words (1 Thessalonians 5:20-21, 1 John 4:1). True biblical prophecy isn't about vague predictions that sound spiritual. The team will examine whether these prophecies contain revelation from God or enough wiggle room to never technically be wrong. True biblical prophecy isn't about farming the news cycle and repeating what is already known. The hosts will examine whether the claims are already being discussed in public forums. And true biblical prophecy doesn't come from a false prophet - someone who leads people away from Christ through their words or actions (Deut 13:1-5). This is where proper theology and discernment separates genuine revelation from religious performance.

Whether you follow these prophetic voices or you're skeptical of the modern prophetic movement, this episode will challenge your thinking about biblical prophecy and evaluating spiritual claims. The guys aren't here to mock—they're here to do what Scripture calls every believer to do: test everything, hold fast to what is good, and protect the flock from deception.

What happens when well-meaning advice becomes another layer of trauma? Michael Rowntree unpacks the book of Job to reveal how our responses to suffering people can either deepen their pain or become a pathway to healing—and why the hardest lesson might be learning when to simply sit in silence.

Drawing from biblical wisdom and modern trauma therapy principles, this episode explores the dangerous beliefs that blame victims for their suffering, the common Christian platitudes that intensify pain rather than heal it, and the revolutionary practice of presence over advice. You'll discover why seven days of silence proved more helpful than lengthy speeches, how to make space for extreme emotions without condemnation, and why accepting mystery is sometimes the most honest response to suffering.

Whether you're a pastor, counselor, friend, or simply someone who wants to minister compassion effectively, this teaching will transform how you approach hurting people. Michael challenges prosperity gospel thinking and retribution theology while offering a tender, Christ-centered alternative rooted in wisdom about how God's people should bear one another's burdens.

The ministry of presence. The freedom to lament. Honoring complexity. These aren't just counseling techniques—they're reflections of how Jesus himself approached the broken and bruised. This is trauma-informed care as God designed it.
