Why Mike Winger Started Exposing Bad Christian Leaders
Today I have on apologist Mike Winger to explain why he pivoted his channel toward investigating abuse and false teaching in the church especially in settings where prophecy is practiced without accountability. He traces how “cover-up culture” forms, why some leaders stay silent, and how non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), intimidation,and platform protection can compound harm. He also lays out a biblical blueprint for dealing with credible accusations (1 Tim. 5:19–20) that protects the innocent, warns the flock, and seeks real reform not mobs or witch hunts. *Get a MASTERS IN APOLOGETICS or SCIENCE AND RELIGION at BIOLA (https://bit.ly/3LdNqKf) *USE Discount Code [SMDCERTDISC] for 25% off the BIOLA APOLOGETICS CERTIFICATE program (https://bit.ly/3AzfPFM) *See our fully online UNDERGRAD DEGREE in Bible, Theology, and Apologetics: (https://bit.ly/448STKK) FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Twitter: https://x.com/Sean_McDowell TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sean_mcdowell?lang=en Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seanmcdowell/ Website: https://seanmcdowell.org Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

The End of the World? John Lennox on AI and the Book of Revelation
Artificial intelligence is reshaping our world at lightning speed bringing both incredible possibilities and sobering dangers. But how should Christians think about AI in light of Scripture, and in particular the book of Revelation? In this conversation, Dr. John Lennox joins me to discuss his concerns about AI, but also his confidence in why the end of history will not come through AI or some other manmade technology. We discuss his newest book God, AI and The End of History.

Demonic–Or Something Else? My Son's Chilling Encounter.
Today, I sit down with my 21-year-old son, Scottie, to briefly unpack a startling street conversation in New York City. While running a “Change My Mind” table at Union Square, he met a self-described Satanist who reached for tarot cards when asked about the identity of Jesus. According to my guest Steve Dabbs, author of "When Demons Surface," this was a genuine demonic encounter. We show part of the encounter, and then analyze the experience through the lens of scripture.
