John invites David to share his journey from the Assemblies of God into an international prophetic healing movement that claimed supernatural authority, modern apostleship, and end-time fulfillment. He explains how teachings about tongues, holiness, dominion theology, and five-fold ministry prepared him to accept increasingly dramatic prophetic claims.
Together they examine how charismatic structures can shift into authoritarian control, how miracle culture shapes belief, and how false hope surrounding healing—especially involving autism—can deeply affect families. This discussion explores Pentecostal history, prophetic movements, and the warning signs of personality-driven ministries.
