On April 24, 2022, the media outreach "Protestia" published an article on Stovall Weems, a "pastor" with undeniable ties to the Association of Related Churches (ARC). This brief (?) episode uses that article as a springboard for a brief word about him.

Here is the article by Protestia:

On June 14, 2020, I posted a movie review on "They Sold Their Souls For Rock & Roll (10-hour edition)" by Good Fight Ministries. It became my most-viewed post for 2020. I give basically the audio version of this review. I also discuss how this post of mine in actuality was a dud. No commercials on this one.

If you listen with your kids, please be aware that some of the topics may be for mature audiences only.

Here is that movie review post:

This is a dedicated episode to Jen Tringale, "an internationally known speaker, author, and strategist on awakening destiny." She was mentioned in my book review on Kent Philpott's "False Prophets Among Us: A Critical Analysis of the New Apostolic Reformation." I received an email request inquiring of her. This episode is a response to that request.

I mentioned how Cindy Jacobs is labeled as an "apostle." Here is Cindy Jacobs' Twitter page. As of June 22, 2021, the label "apostle" was used to describe her. I did obtain a screen capture of the page in case the label is no longer there:

In this episode, I both lay some groundwork and review a sermon by Pastor Rob Ketterling, pastor of River Valley Church, a multi-site megachurch in Burnsville, Minnesota. Ketterling is part of the lead team of the Association of Related Churches (ARC).

Here is the book review on David Cloud that I mentioned:

https://earnestlayman.wordpress.com/2020/10/31/book-review-the-pentecostal-charismatic-movements-the-history-and-error-by-david-w-cloud/ Here are the resources debunking and refuting false teacher Robert Morris:

Here's the ARC video I referenced that showed the soundbite of Morris:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iW7ATJi-2EQ&t=4479s

This episode overall is an excellent refutation against hearing God's voice audibly. If you wish to skip to Morris' Easter Sermon (which, spoiler alert, took 3rd place for the 2014 "Worst Easter Sermon of the Year" contest for F4TF), go to the 1:11:15 mark: http://www.piratechristian.com/fightingforthefaith/2014/4/osteen-proves-that-god-is-not-speaking-to-him?rq=osteen%20proves%20that%20god%20is%20not

Finally, I mentioned a book review I did on a book by Galen Woodward. Here is the review: https://earnestlayman.wordpress.com/2021/02/21/book-review-changing-church-by-galen-woodward/

In the pre-episode, I made mention of a book review on "God Doesn't Whisper" by Jim Osman and a video by Pastor Chris Rosebrough. Here they are:
