John, Kevin, and Barb trace how “deeper things” messaging can slide sincere believers into authoritarian control, prayer “strategy,” and dominion-flavored activism. Along the way, they weigh the cost of handling heavy survivor stories, why accountability structures matter, and how “God said” language can shut down discernment.
They also connect dots between revival hype, conference culture, and leadership models that reward influence without oversight. The conversation lands on practical discernment: testing fruit, refusing manipulation, rebuilding faith after spiritual harm, and keeping the God of Scripture central instead of a performance-driven substitute.
