Many Shall Come in My Name

Jan Markell and Eric Barger host former New Ager Warren Smith for the hour. This movement is now called the “new spirituality” and you would be surprised how even evangelical leaders fit into it. The chief proponent of it is Oprah Winfrey who is now utilizing Rob Bell to further this Satanic agenda. Why would Rick Warren tap into three men with involvement in this “new spirituality” to be a part of a program at Saddleback Church? Hear from one who attended this outrageous seminar. We carry Smith’s excellent book, False Christ Coming: What New Age Leaders Really Have in Store for America, the Church, and the World. Find it here. We use the mobile app found at www.oneplace.com.

Then Jan Markell gets an economic update from Christian economist John Terry. How can Wall Street be flourishing yet we have 90 million Americans out of work? How will the surge of illegals affect our economy? Jan and John Terry explain the Cloward & PIven agenda which is in play. And how do new ObamaCare taxes affect you? They are legion and our lives will never be the same. (*Contact info for Ivan Soto here.)

The Cross in the Crosshairs

Our first topic is "Christian Yoga." Jan Markell and her co-hosts, Eric Barger and Jill Martin Rische, discuss why the two cannot ever blend, although sound bytes are played of one Christian "leader" who thinks they go well together. Then Dr. Emad Shenouda joins Jan to talk about the horrific persecution of Christians in the Middle East. He focuses heavily on the Coptic Christians in Egypt as this is his heritage but the dilemma spans many nations. He is a physician in Iowa who is appealing for prayer on behalf of his brethren.

The Submerging Church part 2

Eric interviews pastor and filmmaker, Joe Schimmel, in a continuing discussion of Joe's newest DVD project "The Submerging Church."

In this segment, Schimmel and Barger detail more of the problems associated with the Emergent philosophy in the light of the familiar apologetics standard: Galatians 1:8-9. Joe and Eric also point out the bottom line of Emergent error which is that it leads people into a godless eternity.

Here Schimmel also outlines how one man profoundly effected Bill Hybels (Seeker Movement), Rick Warren (Purpose Driven Movement), and Brian McLaren (Emergent Movement) moving them - and thousands of their followers - in one troubling direction. That man was New Age mystic and management guru, the late Peter Drucker.

Don't miss any part of this series by two of Christendom's leading voices warning the Church about postmodernism and emergent heresy. Be sure to share this Take A Stand! Radio series with anyone lost in New Age thought or those traveling down the unbiblical Emergent road.

The Submerging Church part 1

Eric interviews pastor and filmmaker, Joe Schimmel about his new documentary DVD set "The Submerging Church."

In this first segment, both men tell of their spiritual search before surrendering to Jesus Christ. Each also share unique perspectives on how millions inside Christian churches today have so easily accepted Emergent postmodernism and how it is submerging many congregations both in America and around the world. Joe and Eric also recount how they became aware of the growing Emergent Church and its troubling diversions into cultic and occultic philosophy.

Included are many definitions and problematic quotes from Emergent leaders which will help you to effectively communicate warnings concerning the many problems inherent in the movement.

Being that both Barger and Schimmel come from backgrounds deeply immersed in mystical beliefs and New Age, esoteric practices, both the personal experience and in-depth research they offer serve as bold warnings to those who've shelved the Bible to dabble instead with Emergent heresy.
Be sure to share this Take A Stand! Radio series with anyone lost in New Age thought or those traveling down the unbiblical Emergent road. Also find Joe Schimmel at www.goodfight.org.

Bible Prophecy and the Occult part 5 - The Kingdom of the Occult

Jill Martin Rische is Eric's guest again this week as we focus again on the world of the occult from a biblical perspective. Jill is the daughter of the late Dr. Walter Martin, the 20th centuries greatest Christian apologist. She, and co-author Kurt Van Gorden, have taken Walter Martin's notes and teachings and have developed the most complete treatise ever compiled on the topic in their book, The Kingdom of the Occult.

In the first part of the interview, Eric and Jill warned against the inherent dangers of reading occult-oriented literature without first understanding the seductive and spiritually damaging nature of them. In today's episode, Jill and Eric discuss the spread and pervasive acceptance of occultism through the media and literature today. They also connect the Hindu worship tool of yoga with demonic power and detail the fact that Hindu yogis (teachers) decry the current western culture's yoga craze, in particular the notion that yoga can be joined to Christianity, as ignorant and naive.

Tune in for this informative conversation on Take A Stand! Radio.

She, and co-author Kurt Van Gorden, have taken Walter Martin's notes and teachings and have developed the most complete treatise ever compiled on the topic in their book, The Kingdom of the Occult.

In the first part of the interview, Eric and Jill warn against reading occult-oriented literature without first understanding the dangers inherent in them. They also caution that unless one is called by God to specifically research on or expose the occult, Christians should endeavor to learn about the occult from Christian sources instead of from demonically inspired writers and their works.
