Revealing The True Light with Mike Shreve: Recent Episodes
Mike Shreve
There are so many religions in the world. By studying their beliefs, we become stronger in our own faith and more capable of sharing the Gospel with others. Your host, Mike Shreve, explored several paths to spirituality before encountering the Lord Jesus. His passion now is to help both Christians and non-Christians better understand “the true light which gives light to everyone entering the world” (John 1:9 CJB).
Is it wrong to judge others? Jesus said, “Judge not that you be not judged” (Mt. 7:1). Did the Savior mean we should never offer an opinion challenging the doctrine or lifestyle choices of someone else? Or is the correct interpretation much different? You may be surprised at the answers.

In Revelation 12, John sees a “great wonder in heaven”—a “woman clothed with the sun…and upon her head a crown of twelve stars.” The Catholic interpretation assigns this image to Mary, the mother of Jesus, to help prove their claim that she is now the Queen of heaven. Is this true? Let’s subject this highly symbolic chapter to proper exegesis and see if it fits the Catholic narrative.

Several popular Christian worship songs propose that believers can breathe in the Spirit of God. A respected Charismatic pastor recently put out a video teaching greater peace can be achieved by inhaling deeply and saying, “I breathe you in Holy Spirit.” Is such an action even possible? Can our lungs contain the presence of God or does He dwell in our hearts? Is there a difference between human breath and the breath of God? Is this concept a mixed bag of biblical, far eastern, and new age beliefs? These important questions must be answered.

On July 16, 1251, a Catholic priest named Simon Stock claimed to have a vision of Mary. At the time, he was the sixth Superior General of the Carmelite Order (a group of friars based in Cambridge, England). Supposedly, Mary presented a brown scapular to Simon (a type of religious garment) promising that whoever died wearing it would escape the fires of hell. Is there any validity to such a fantastical story?

Jesus is called the “true light,” the “true bread,” the “true vine,” and “the true witness” in Scripture? To label something “true” implies the existence of a counterfeit that is false. What do these four unique symbols mean? Most importantly, why did Jesus warn His people, “Take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness”? (Luke 11:35) A powerful insight!

Hindus and New Agers often greet each other with a respectful gesture of folded hands and a slight bow as they utter the word “Namaste” (pronounced Nah-ma-stay’). Many yoga classes open with participants making this affirming statement toward their teacher and each other. Is this just an ordinary greeting like “Hello” or is there a deeper, spiritual connotation?

“Shalom” is the word Jews normally use to greet one another. It is an ancient biblical word with intriguing overtones of meaning that make it a powerful spiritual proclamation and even a prayer. It is a faith-filled confession that God will do numerous beneficial things in the life of the person being greeted. Wonderful revelation!

What is “mindfulness”? Is it an acceptable practice? Is it helpful? This spiritual discipline is pervading our culture, though usually, in a watered-down form. The descriptive terms may seem inviting, but this approach to spirituality is primarily based on a Buddhist worldview. Is that compatible with Christianity? Let’s dig deep and get answers.

Catholic apologists often insist, “Jesus Did Not Leave Us a Bible; He Left Us a Church.” Such assertions are intended to cancel sole dependency on the Bible as the standard of acceptable Christian doctrines, practices, and traditions. Such a claim is also intended to increase trust in church traditions and the rulings of church hierarchy, even if they are not found in the Bible. Is this view right? Is it safe? Is it pleasing to God?

World religions are notoriously based on human efforts. You must be good enough to earn the ultimate goals promised. On the contrary, Christianity is based on God’s goodness and His passion to make unworthy people worthy. It’s a calamity—because human beings like to “boast” of the effectiveness of their efforts—but Paul (a supreme example) summed it up by saying, “Where is boasting?” His answer? “It is excluded!”

Or does it mean something altogether different?

All seven feasts of the Lord in the Old Testament are prophetic of powerful New Testament realities. Passover foretells the crucifixion of the Lamb of God and the beginning of our salvation journey. Unleavened Bread speaks of Jesus’ sinlessness and our calling to be holy like Him, that we might properly represent God in this world.

Passover is the annual celebration memorializing the deliverance of the children of Israel from Egypt almost 3400 years ago. However, God reveals His mysteries in signs, symbols, and metaphorical imagery. As we dig deep into the biblical data, we will surely hit a motherlode of gold in God’s Word. The divine revelation we discover will enrich our understanding of this feast of the Lord, as well as God’s great plan for the ages.

A Catholic online prayer app called “Hallow” is getting a lot of attention lately. The representative spokespersons are most likely very sincere about their faith. But are they presenting a true, God-pleasing, biblical approach to prayer? Or are false, Catholic traditions being promoted? The word “hallowed” means holy or sacred. Only correct methods in prayer could ever be referred to as “hallowed.” Listen to this episode and decide for yourself.

Is it right to use the two Jezebels in the Bible to identify the activities of a demon that is given the same name and still active in this era? Is this sound biblical revelation or theological imagination?

The Bible is largely silent about Jesus between the ages of 12 and 30. Various sources offer conflicting claims, insisting Jesus trained under an Essene teacher, traveled to India, was mentored by Hindu healers, lived in a Tibetan monastery, studied Buddhism, or joined a “Secret Brotherhood” in Heliopolis, Egypt. After hearing the evidence, you’ll be able to determine if there is any validity to these stories or if He simply remained in Nazareth until announcing His ministry in the synagogue.

Jesus had a way of disregarding religious traditions that enraged His opponents. It was one major reason they demanded He be crucified. Yet Paul praised the Corinthians because they kept the traditions he introduced. Catholics revere what they call “sacred traditions” to such a degree, it is considered equal to “sacred Scripture” in that belief system. So, are religious traditions good or bad?

In just 66 words, “The Lord’s Prayer” contrasts biblical doctrine to other world religions on major issues like the nature of God, the nature of the universe, and the nature of true salvation. Each phrase uniquely identifies an essential truth. What apologetic genius from the Lord Jesus Christ! You will never view this prayer the same again.

One Catholic version of the Bible translates Genesis 3:15 with a major spin. The Lord
God prophesies to the serpent, “ “ I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and
thy seed and her seed: SHE SHALL CRUSH THY HEAD.” Consequently, some Catholic
theologians teach the serpent-crushing woman is Mary, the mother of Jesus. Protestant
Bible versions instead render this passage, “HE WILL BRUISE YOUR HEAD”—speaking of
JESUS. Which is right?

The three pillars of Catholicism (also called “The Three Legs”) are Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and the Magisterium. All three are equally revered by Catholics, and given equal authority, so if something cannot be proven by “Sacred Scripture,” but is part of “Sacred Tradition” and approved by “the Magisterium,” it is established as official dogma. Is there relevance to this point of view, or can it result in a departure from “the faith which was once delivered to the saints” (Jude 1:3)?

The last of five “sacred doors” in Rome and at the Vatican will be closed on January 6, 2026. Around 30 million Catholics have made a pilgrimage there in 2025, proclaimed by Pope Francis to be a special “year of Jubilee.” By walking through those doors, pilgrims hoped to earn indulgences facilitating an escape from the suffering of Purgatory, either for them or their deceased loved ones. Is this religious tradition a glorious opportunity or spiritual exploitation? Are they doors of blessings or doors of deception?

We will also find out that thankfulness was the primary key to his deliverance. Two other powerful, real-life stories illustrate this powerful concept even more powerfully. Try it!

How did the universe begin, or did it even have a beginning point? At least seven schools of thought exist in various religions in this world. They cannot all be right. Only one view is true at the expense of the others being false. One religious group even insists that because of evil abounding in this world, the Deity who created it must be evil. Others believe Ultimate Reality is both evil and good for a similar reason. Learn the various views, but most importantly, the correct one.

In 1274 A.D., Purgatory was officially declared a doctrine of the Catholic Church. This netherworld location has been described as a place of flames, punishment, intolerable pain, and purification, before those subjected to it graduate to the bliss of heaven. Purgatory cannot be proven by the Bible. Along with indulgences, it is one of the primary beliefs that led to the great Protestant Reformation.

It can also reach all the way to the right, embracing things like success seminars and positive thinking programs that don’t even promote a concept of God, yet incorporate certain New Age principles. This movement is one of three primary global influences preparing the world for the Antichrist, so you need to understand these truths.

Universal reconciliation is the concept that everything will ultimately be reconciled to God. The Scripture declares “the mystery” of God’s will is to finally “gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth”? (Eph. 1:9-10) Does that mean literally everything, including all sinners, even Satan himself and all his fallen angels, will finally be restored to a right relationship with God? This is a challenging and controversial subject that needs to be examined.

Do we cease to exist when we die? Or does the soul live on? Is there only one life or thousands of incarnations by which the soul evolves to perfection? When human beings die, does the soul sleep in the grave with the body or does it ascend to a paradise world? These are questions that beg to be answered. Various religions promote a plethora of opinions, but what did Jesus teach?

Did you know there are more Sabbaths mentioned in the Bible than just the seventh day of the week? Did you know all Sabbaths are described as a “shadow of good things to come” (Hebrews 10:1). What are those “good things” that make up the superior “substance” (the most important, valuable, and enduring truths symbolically foreshadowed)? It’s time to move up to the next level.

Is Saturday or Sunday the proper day of the week for Christians to gather in worship? The controversy has swirled around this issue from the early days of the Church. What is the correct Sabbath? Was this ancient tradition corrupted and even paganized at a certain point in church history? Is it necessary to make a choice between these two options, or is there a third explanation that is profoundly deep and life-changing? You decide after hearing all three views.

The Feast of Pentecost is the fourth of the seven “Feasts of the Lord” mentioned in the Bible. Every one of the feasts is both historical and prophetical. Each one commemorated something powerful God did for Israel in the past, under the Old Covenant, while revealing something powerful He would yet do for the Church in the New Covenant. You will see the genius of God on display by connecting the dots between these two phases of His plan.

Are New Age positive affirmations and biblically-based confessions of faith the same thing? Or, are there major differences? Listen to 10 primary points of comparison and make up your own mind. Some Christians, out of concern they are dabbling in New Age practices, teach against the practice of positive confessions of faith. By doing so, are they “throwing out the baby with the bath water”? This teaching will shine the light of revelation on this controversial concept.

Meditation, according to the Bible, is much different than the prescription for meditation found in Far Eastern religions and New Age spirituality. It is not mechanical; it is relational. It’s a normal outgrowth of walking with God in a personal and loving way. Instead of striving for emptiness of mind, quite the opposite, it involves filling the mind with worshipful, deep ponderings toward the Creator. The result? At choice times, God breathes inspired insights into our minds and hearts by the Holy Spirit. This episode will clarify many things.

It is believed in Catholicism that during the sacrament of Confirmation, the seal of the Holy Spirit is imparted, completing the work of salvation that begins at baptism. A Catholic bishop lays hands on each candidate, commands this ‘sealing’ to take place, and a new name (the name of a patron saint) is conferred. Does this supernatural impartation actually take place or is it just another religious ritual?

Four revered Catholic churches in Rome have “holy doors” that have been sealed for almost ten years but are now being opened by the pope for a Jubilee year in 2025. Catholics who pass through those doors are promised a plenary indulgence (an escape from all punishment awaiting them in Purgatory). Millions of pilgrims will be headed to Rome during the coming year. Is this a powerful rite or just an empty ritual?

What is the difference between natural religion and revealed religion? Has God, from the beginning, witnessed His reality in natural ways for the benefit of all humanity? Has He also revealed Himself supernaturally to certain blessed individuals chosen to walk with Him and represent Him in this world? How do both approaches fit into God’s eternal plan? An intriguing study.

When discussing the nature of the Godhead, Christians, Hindus, Sikhs, and New Agers all passionately insist, “There is only one God!” Do they all mean the same thing by that terse, five-word statement? Or are there drastically different ways of interpreting this simple phrase? In His conversation with the woman at the well, Jesus unveiled the mystery—profoundly.

A new prayer app called “Hallow” is getting a lot of attention among believers. However, do the teachings and services on this app present a true biblical approach to prayer or are concepts being promoted that are false? The word “hallowed” means holy or sacred. Only correct prayer methods could ever be labeled “hallowed.” The “true light” on this vitally important subject needs to be revealed.

One of the most valued aspects of being Catholic is the sacrament of reconciliation: confessing your sins to a priest, receiving absolution (cleansing), and performing the assigned penance. There are five main reasons I no longer believe these three things are necessary to be forgiven and restored to a right relationship with God.

In 1274 A.D., Purgatory was officially declared a doctrine of the Catholic Church. This netherworld location has been described as a place of flames, punishment, intolerable pain, and purification, before those subjected to it graduate to the bliss of heaven. Purgatory cannot be proven by the Bible. Along with indulgences, it is one of the primary beliefs that led to the great Protestant Reformation.

At a recent interfaith gathering in Singapore, Pope Francis voiced some very controversial statements. Referencing Sikhs, Hindus, Muslims, and Christians, he insisted, “We are all sons and daughters of God.” He also maintained, “There’s only one God,” and all religions are just “different paths” that all “arrive at God.” Are these assertions true or are they serious heretical departures from authentic, biblical Christianity?

Several popular Christian worship songs propose that believers can breathe in the Spirit of God. A respected Charismatic pastor recently put out a video teaching greater peace can be achieved by inhaling deeply and saying, “I breathe you in Holy Spirit.” Is such an action even possible? Can our lungs contain the presence of God or does He dwell in our hearts? Is there a difference between human breath and the breath of God? Is this concept a mixed bag of biblical, far eastern, and new age beliefs? These important questions must be answered.

New Age spirituality promotes the belief that Christ is within everyone and everything, that Christ is a principle not a person, that the Christ-nature is something different than the man, Jesus. This mindset has been promoted primarily by advocates of yoga, Far Eastern religions, Metaphysics, and the New Thought Movement. Surprisingly, however, some who profess Christianity are now also endorsing this view. Is this deeper revelation or a dark deception?

Universal reconciliation is the concept that everything will ultimately be reconciled to God. The Scripture declares “the mystery” of God’s will is to finally “gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth”? (Eph. 1:9-10) Does that mean literally everything, including all sinners, even Satan himself and all his fallen angels, will finally be restored to a right relationship with God?

Jesus is called the “true light,” the “true bread,” the “true vine,” and “the true witness” in Scripture? To label something “true” implies the existence of a counterfeit that is false.

The word “Yoga” means yoke. Jesus told His disciples to take His “yoke.” Was He introducing a yoga-like approach to spirituality, or did He mean something completely different? Many New Agers and yoga advocates insist that’s exactly what He did. Is that true? On this episode, the eight limbs of yoga and eight different types of yoga are compared to the teachings of the Son of God.
Note: The Warrior II pose is primarily dedicated to the god Virabhadra. It is also used at times as a worship pose to Ganesha. In this teaching, however, only Ganesha is mentioned. A much more thorough treatment of this concept can be found in a popular article by Mike Shreve titled, “10 Yoga Poses That Offer Worship to Hindu Deities*.”

Some Christians boldly claim a ‘god-like’ status even now based on this passage in John 10. Is that true, or is the correct interpretation something different?

Are all human beings in “the image of God”? Where does that expression come from? Was the “image” lost because of the fall of Adam? If so, was it completely lost or partially lost? Is true Christianity the only means by which that image can be fully restored? What facilitates that process? When will it be completed? A lot of questions need to be answered.

The Yin-Yang symbol—you see it in so many places—religious emblems, jewelry, movies, tattoos, graffiti, even national flags—but what does it really represent? Is it primarily the duality between male and female? Or does the mystery go much deeper? Many who display this popular symbol do not fully comprehend its meaning, nor its origin. It’s time to find out.

What happened to Jesus between His crucifixion and resurrection? Only a few scriptures deal with this amazing segment of His redemptive journey. Some Bible teachers propose He went to hell as a sinner where He was tormented by Satan, then spiritually reborn. Is that true? Peter claimed He preached the Gospel to the dead. Paul said He led captivity captive. What really took place in the lower parts of the earth? Such a great mystery!

There’s no better way of starting the new year than to immerse your mind in the concept of “forgiveness.” Receiving forgiveness from God and granting forgiveness to others are two fundamental and related principles in Christianity. Even though all positive religions emphasize the latter, many do not subscribe to the former. You will be surprised what Buddhism, Hinduism, New Age Spirituality, Shinto, Theosophy, The Law of Attraction, A Course in Miracles, and even the biblical revelation teach concerning this all-important concept that is so essential to the healing of the heart.

According to a recent, reputable poll, 63% of Americans believe in Karma, that everything we say or do will come back to us, either in this life or some future life. Is this true? Equally important—Is “The Law of Karma” in Hinduism and “The Law of Sowing and Reaping” in Christianity the same? Many people believe they are. One thing for certain, Karma is either an inescapable stalker or a doctrinal delusion. You need to decide which of these two conclusions is right.

God is constantly speaking to the entire human race, in secretive and subtle ways, as well as bold, profound, and undeniable ways. Not everyone has ears to hear, but for the spiritually thirsty and the spiritually sensitive, His communications are numerous, powerful, and awe-inspiring. Jesus promised that His sheep hear His voice. Learn to be sensitive to His communications. He will lead you to the “still waters” of inner peace and the “green pastures” of a fruitful life.

“There is only one God!”—When discussing the Godhead with Hindus, Sikhs, Muslims, or New Agers, that’s often the response you get. It’s the idea that, on an ultimate level, we are all worshiping the same God regardless of religious affiliation. Is that true? It sounds kind, loving and tolerant, but is it theologically correct, or even logically correct? Resolving this issue is vitally important.

The highest spiritual state attainable in Buddhism is called “Nirvana.” In Sanskrit, it means “a blowing out,” like the blowing out of a candle. What does that mean? Some claim it describes the same experience called Samadhi in Hinduism, Self-realization in yoga, and Christ-consciousness in New Age Spirituality—but is that true? What is the difference between Nirvana and the transformational, biblical encounter Jesus called being “born again”?

As we close out our study of “The Lord’s Prayer,” we will focus on the declaration, “Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.” This final confession of faith is the hinge on which the previous statement turns, “Do not lead us into temptation but deliver us from evil.” We cannot expect deliverance from evil unless we acknowledge these three vitally important and related concepts.

Several popular Christian worship songs propose that believers can breathe in the Spirit of God. A respected Charismatic pastor recently put out a video teaching greater peace can be achieved by inhaling deeply and saying, “I breathe you in Holy Spirit.” Is such an action even possible? Can our lungs contain the presence of God or does He dwell in our hearts? Is there a difference between human breath and the breath of God? Is this concept a mixed bag of biblical, far eastern, and new age beliefs? These important questions must be answered.

What are the seven major roles they fill in administrating God’s affairs in heaven and earth? What’s revealed by the original Hebrew and Greek words? We know angels are vitally important to the plans and purposes of God. However, there are many misconceptions and differing opinions in various religions concerning their nature, their functions, and to what degree human beings can interact with them.

Intriguingly, similar concepts (erroneous and incorrect) are also found in Buddhism, Islam, and mystical Judaism (Kabbala)—which we review on this episode.

In the coronation ceremony of Prince Charles, he knelt before the altar and prayed, “God of compassion and mercy . . . grant that I may be a blessing to all thy children, of every faith and belief.” That statement implies that all people of every religious belief system are blessed with the status of being children of God. Is that true? Or are there certain New Testament criteria that must be fulfilled for people to become children of God. If so, what are those requirements? The answer may be far more profound than you expect.

The King James Version of Isaiah 45:7 has God saying, “I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil.” This older translation makes it sound like the Creator is the source, not only of good, but also, of all the evil in this world. If that is a correct rendering, the New Age / Far Eastern idea that God is both darkness and light, both evil and good, is supported and even legitimized. How can that be? Is there a more correct translation and interpretation of this controversial verse that is in alignment with the biblical view?

As a follower of Jesus, I often discuss doctrinal beliefs and lifestyle choices with followers of other religions (and those who are not religious at all). At times, when I point out the biblical view, I get the response, “Didn’t Jesus say, ‘Judge not that you be not judged.’” Did the Savior mean that we should never offer our opinion (or His opinion) on matters like these? Or is the correct interpretation of that 7-word statement much different? Decide for yourself after you listen.

The Mystery of the Book of Life
In Psalms 56:8, David claimed that God keeps a record of every tear we shed in His “book.” Surely that was a reference to the “Book of Life,” a concept that is only found in Judaism and Christianity. It is mentioned sixteen times in the Bible. Since God is omniscient—and He knows all things past, present, and future—why would He need a book or a registry of all His people? Could this just be metaphorical, a symbolic way God compares a heavenly truth to an earthly object? Or is “The Book of Life” literal? Listen and decide.

Many religions include Jesus in their doctrinal base, but they define His identity, His nature and His purpose in non-biblical ways. Bible believers need to be equipped to recognize these erroneous views and respond with the truth. At Caesarea Philippi, Jesus asked His disciples, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” (Mt. 16:13) On this episode of “Revealing the True Light,” Mike Shreve, will provide answers to that important question.

By the fall of 1970, the Jesus Movement was a spiritual tsunami wave cresting over the United States. At the time, I was a yoga teacher at four universities and running a yoga ashram in Tampa, Florida. It was an incredible era when supernatural, divine interventions were commonplace. I was miraculously swept into the Kingdom of God in a day’s time. Then, four months later, I gave away everything I owned to hitchhike across America preaching the Gospel on college campuses and in downtown drug districts. What happened was amazing!

Did you know all these Sabbaths are described as just a “shadow of good things to come” (Hebrews 10:1). What are those “good things” that make up the superior “substance” (the most important, valuable, and enduring truths symbolically foreshadowed)? Christians often discuss whether Saturday or Sunday is the correct Sabbath, but could they be missing an even more profound aspect of their inheritance?

Since the beginning of the Church, controversy has swirled around the issue of the proper day of the week that Christians should gather for corporate worship.

Is it possible to receive forgiveness from God? Is it important for us to forgive others? Though all positive religions emphasize the latter, many do not subscribe to the former. Learn what Buddhism, Hinduism, New Age Spirituality, Shinto, Theosophy, The Law of Attraction, A Course in Miracles, and Christianity teach concerning this all-important concept that is so essential to the healing of the heart.

The biblical account of creation states that God breathed into Adam the “breath of life” and he became a “living soul.” What exactly is the “breath of life”? Is it the same as natural breath and is it still within every human being? Does it include the presence and essence of God? Many questions need to be answered.

The Greek word translated “wise men” in the Bible is magos, from which we get the term “magi” (strangely, the root of the words “magic" and “magician”). Magi were usually involved in occult spiritual practices like astrology. Many theories and traditions exist concerning the identity and religion practiced by these notable persons who visited Jesus shortly after his birth. Were there three of them? Were they kings? Did the Bible prophesy that they would come? Many questions need to be answered.

Most people relate to the word “avatar” as the name of a 2009 blockbuster movie set in a fictional world called Pandora. People also create “avatars” as representative images in video games, on Facebook, or other online activities. However, unknown to many, the word “avatar” is actually a profound ancient term drawn from Hinduism and enshrined in the heart of New Age Spirituality. Learn the truth. You may be surprised!

Religion is a desperate quest for power: power to comprehend the mysteries of life, power to rise above personal defeats, power to penetrate higher spiritual realms, power to overcome suffering, power to predict the future, power to overcome death and live forever, and most importantly, power to become one with God. Yes, it really is all about power. As we explore various religions of the world, find out how to distinguish between the wrong source and the right source of power and how it can work for you.

How appropriate it would be if the attitude of gratitude was highlighted in a ninth beatitude, “Blessed are the grateful, for God often works miracles for them!” In this "True Light" episode, you will discover that the story of Jonah in the Bible is completely different from what most people have been taught. We will also find out that thankfulness was the primary key to his deliverance. Two other powerful, real-life stories illustrate this powerful concept even more powerfully. Try it! The results may be miraculous for you too!

Angels fill many roles: worshipers, warriors, watchers, messengers, ministers, protectors, and administrators of God’s affairs in heaven and earth. They are vitally important to the plans and purposes of God.

The Bible is largely silent about Jesus between the ages of 12 and 30. Various sources offer conflicting claims, insisting Jesus trained under an Essene teacher, traveled to India, was mentored by Hindu healers, lived in a Tibetan monastery, studied Buddhism, or joined a “Secret Brotherhood” in Heliopolis, Egypt. After hearing the evidence, you’ll be able to determine if there is any validity to these stories or if He simply remained in Nazareth until announcing His ministry in the synagogue.

New Age spirituality promotes the belief that Christ is within everyone and everything. According to that approach, Christ is a principle not a person and is different from the man, Jesus. This mindset used to be heralded primarily by advocates of yoga, Far Eastern religions, metaphysics, and the New Thought Movement—people who intentionally use Christian-sounding terminology to help persuade people familiar with the Bible to accept their ideas. However, in recent years, there has been an overflow into some Charismatic and evangelical circles of this unique concept. Is this deeper revelation that needs to be embraced or dark deception that needs to be discarded? Find out in this important episode of “Revealing the True Light.”

What is “Soul Sleep”? This controversial doctrine, primarily taught by Seventh-day Adventists, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Christadelphians, is based on biblical passages, like Jesus’ statement, “Our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may wake him up” (Jn. 11:11). Are those words to be taken literally? When Lazarus died, did his soul go into an unconscious, non-functional 'sleep' mode in the grave? Is that the plight of all who pass away? Or is it true, for born-again Christians, that to be “absent from the body” is to be “present with the Lord” (2 Cor. 5:8)? A vitally important subject to explore.

Consider how the Creator “witnesses” His reality and His character, even to those who have never heard the Gospel and the added, invisible, spiritual witness that is all-pervasive globally.

Why is Jesus called the “true light,” the “true bread,” the “true vine” and “the true God” in Scripture? To label something “true” implies the existence of a counterfeit that is “false.” If there is a “true light,” that implies that there is also a “false light.” No wonder Jesus said, “Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness” (Luke 11:35). www.thetruelight.net
Are New Age positive affirmations and biblically-based confessions of faith the same thing? Or are there major differences? Listen to 10 primary points of comparison and make up your own mind. Some Christians, out of concern they are dabbling in New Age practices, teach against the practice of positive confessions of faith. By doing so, are they “throwing out the baby with the bath water”? This teaching will empower you to distinguish truth from error. www.thetruelight.net
The term, “The New Age Movement,” stems from Astrology. It is based on the erroneous idea that the sun passes through twelve houses in its journey around the earth. Each house represents an age that is about 2200 years long. Those who subscribe to this worldview believe we are about to pass into “The Age of Aquarius,” a new age of enlightenment and peace on planet Earth. Is this the same as the biblical concept of a coming Kingdom Age when the Messiah (Jesus) will reign over a restored paradise world? Find out on this episode of “Revealing the True Light” as we explore eight more common beliefs that most New Agers embrace, comparing them to the biblical view. www.thetruelight.net
The New Age Movement is a term that covers a lot of territory spiritually. It can reach all the way to the left, embracing the dark side of the occult like Wicca, paganism, and Satanism. It can also reach all the way to the right, embracing things like success seminars and positive thinking programs that don’t even promote a basic concept of God, yet incorporate certain New Age principles. This movement is one of three primary global influences preparing the world for the Antichrist, so you need to understand these truths. www.thetruelight.net
Right before leaving, Jesus instructed His disciples, “Let not your heart be troubled . . . In My Father’s house are many mansions . . . I go to prepare a place for you.” Will there be literal mansions in heaven for God’s eternal offspring or is this a mistranslation? Three other important questions: Will we know each other in heaven? Will there be genders in heaven? Is heaven our ultimate and final destination or some other arrangement? www.thetruelight.net
What’s the difference between sins, wickedness, transgressions, and trespasses? Are you a sinner because you sin, or do you sin because you are a sinner? Are there different degrees of sin? What spiritual law cancels out the law of sin and death? These vitally important questions give rise to powerful answers.
www.thetruelight.net
Bible believers claim that humanity’s problem is sin—that sin causes separation from God—and that repentance and faith toward God bring forth the cure. The New Age, on the other hand, claims that sin does not exist, repentance is unnecessary, and that ignorance is the real problem. So, the cure for our dilemma is to be spiritually awakened, to rid ourselves of a self-imposed ‘sense of separation,’ to realize that we have always been one with God. Who is right? www.thetruelight.net
Is the practice of chanting mantras a powerful means of awakening the Christ nature and achieving enlightenment as many teach, or is it a futile and incorrect attempt at penetrating the realm of the supernatural? Does it help a person experience oneness with God, or does it open the door to evil spirits? Is the well-known “Jesus Prayer” just a Christian mantra? What did Jesus say about chanting mantras? www.thetruelight.net
The word “yoga” means yoke. It implies being yoked, not with the “true God,” but a deity named Brahman, described as ultimate reality in Hinduism, an impersonal cosmic force. Most westerners consider yoga just a trendy way to get in shape, a low impact exercise regimen. But Yoga and Hinduism cannot be separated. It is a door to great, spiritual deception. Learn the seven reasons you should never practice yoga. This will open your eyes!
New agers, witches, pagans, and promoters of the Law of Attraction often call themselves “lightworkers.” What does that term really mean? Is it good or bad? Should it be embraced or shunned? Can followers of Jesus call themselves “lightworkers”? Is there an alternate way of re-envisioning this title? These questions need to be answered.
The highest spiritual state attainable in Buddhism is called “Nirvana.” In Sanskrit, it means “a blowing out,” like the blowing out of a candle. What does that mean? Some claim it describes the same experience called Samadhi in Hinduism, Self-realization in yoga, and Christ-consciousness in New Age Spirituality—but is that true? What is the difference between Nirvana and the transformational, biblical encounter Jesus called being “born again”? www.thetruelight.net
What happened to Jesus between His crucifixion and His resurrection? Only a few scriptures deal with this most amazing segment of His redemptive journey. Some Bible teachers insist He suffered damnation as a sinner and was tormented by Satan, then spiritually reborn (the firstborn from the dead)? Is that true? Peter claimed He preached the Gospel to the dead. Paul said He led captivity captive. What really took place in the lower parts of the earth? Such a great mystery! www.thetruelight.net
Many people assume the “Law of Karma” in Hinduism and the biblical “Law of Sowing and Reaping” in Christianity are the same, but they are not. There are similarities, but there are also significant differences. In contrasting the two concepts, you will discover some valuable truths. Without a doubt, what we sow is what we will reap---but that statement must be interpreted correctly. www.thetruelight.net
What is “the kundalini” and why do gurus, yoga advocates, and new agers also call it “the serpent power”? How do seekers pursue a “kundalini awakening”? Why are the Hindu deities, the goddess Shakti and the god Shiva, associated with this supernatural phenomenon? Is there such a thing as a “kundalini spirit” and has it invaded the church? The answers to these questions are very important. www.thetruelight.net
“The Third Eye” is a mysterious, eerie image of an eye in the middle of the forehead. Does it really exist? Is it the sixth chakra, as some claim. If so, what is its function and purpose? Do chakras exist and do they need to be awakened? And the most important question—did Jesus believe in “the third eye” and did He teach His disciples about it? www.thetruelight.net
Hinduism teaches that all human beings have a “higher self” which is already one with God. Buddhists call this the “Buddha Nature”; New Thought terms it the “Christ Principle.” Christians, however, believe in “the conscience.” What’s the difference? www.thetruelight.net
Billions of people throughout the earth have never heard of Jesus—what happens to them when they die? A primary objection to Christianity concerns how unjust it would be if God required faith in the Gospel of those who have never heard it. Does the Bible give a suitable and logical explanation for this dilemma?
Hinduism teaches that maya (delusion) prevents human beings from understanding their true nature (the belief that they actually are God). Christianity teaches human beings live misguided lives because of deception. Are both these beliefs saying the same thing? Or are they completely different? www.thetruelight.net
The Yin Yang symbol is a recognized image around the globe. It is used symbolically even in many non-religious ways—including jewelry and rock music. But what does it really mean? Does it just represent the contrast between male and female? Or does the mystery go much deeper? You will be intrigued by the explanation of its spiritual significance and the history of its origin—the ancient Chinese religion called Taoism. www.thetruelight.net
When people say, “Truth is relative,” or “Truth is subjective,” what do they mean? Are these true statements? Or false? Before we can make any progress toward the goal of understanding, embracing, or establishing truth in our hearts and minds, this issue needs to be resolved. This is foundational!
Hinduism and Christianity are very different in many ways---in the interpretation of the nature of God, the nature of the universe, the nature of human beings, the nature of salvation, and the ultimate destiny of the universe. Once you understand the contrast between these two religions, you will be all the more convinced of the uniqueness and the power of the message Jesus preached and better able to communicate to those who do not yet understand.
“Shalom” is the word Jews normally use to greet one another. It is an ancient biblical word with intriguing overtones of meaning that make up a powerful spiritual proclamation and prayer. It is an faith-filled appeal to God to do numerous beneficial things in the life of the person being greeted. A wonderful truth!
Hindus and New Agers often greet each other with a respectful gesture of folded hands and a slight bow as they utter the word “Namaste.” Many yoga classes open with this exchanged statement. Is this just an ordinary greeting like “Hello” or is there a deeper, spiritual connotation? If so, what is it, and how should we respond?
“All religions are one—we all worship the same God!” You hear this opinion voiced quite often. But is it true? If a Muslim, or a Sikh, or a Hindu, or a New Ager claims to love God and worship God—is it audacious and ludicrous for a Christian to deny the authenticity of that claim? Or is there a different explanation that is sound, loving, and logical?
“There is only one God!”—When discussing the Godhead with Hindus, Sikhs, or New Agers, that’s often the response you get. It’s the idea that, on an ultimate level, we are all worshiping the same God regardless of religious affiliation. Is that true? It sounds kind, loving and tolerant, but is it theologically correct, or even logically correct? Resolving this issue is vitally important.
The Greek word translated “wise men” is magos, from which we get the term “magi” (the root of the words “magical” or “magician”). Magi were usually involved in occult spiritual practices like astrology. Many theories and traditions exist concerning the identity and religion practiced by these notable persons who visited Jesus at his birth. Were there three of them? Were they kings? Many questions need to be answered. www.thetruelight.net
“I’m not part of any religion; I believe in being spiritual.” Many people make this claim, especially sincere truth-seekers who desire an understanding of the true God and want to experience the supernatural world. But is religion bad? Is spirituality the answer, or can it be misleading, too? Should one be discarded and the other embraced, or is there a balance between the two? Intriguing! The answers may surprise you in more ways than one. www.thetruelight.net
In this third episode of “The Lord’s Prayer,” we continue our focus on this amazing combination of petitions and declarations that Jesus gave the church. Not only does this prayer reveal the proper approach to the Father, it also establishes biblical doctrine as compared to the false doctrines that abound in the religions of this world. Listen and be empowered! www.thetruelight.net
“The Lord’s Prayer” was constructed by the genius of God, not only to give us a proper approach to the Father, but to reveal major facets of the belief system we should embrace as followers of Jesus. In this episode, we will cover key concepts such as: the will of God and a proper understanding of forgiveness (and how New Agers get it wrong). www.thetruelight.net
In just over 60 words, “The Lord’s Prayer” establishes biblical doctrine as compared to other world religions on major issues like the nature of God, the nature of the universe, and the nature of true salvation. Individual words and phrases uniquely unveil essential truths. What apologetic genius! You will never view this prayer the same again.

When Jesus said, “You are gods!”—who was He referring to? Many New Agers believe this statement reveals that He taught the divinity of all human beings. Some Christians boldly claim a ‘god-like’ status even now based on this passage in John 10. What’s the true interpretation? www.thetruelight.net
Why is the word “OM” considered so sacred and powerful? How many religions recognize it as a spiritually potent word? What association does it have with three of the most revered gods of the Hindu pantheon: Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva? Does it have any connection with John 1:1 as some gurus propose? www.thetruelight.net
Will God’s people be in this world when His wrath is poured out and if so, will they be protected? What is the difference between “tribulation” and “wrath”? Why does the Bible say that at one time we were all “children of wrath”? What is the difference between being a vessel of wrath and a vessel of mercy? These are pivotal questions that must be answered. www.thetruelight.net
Failing to understand the difference between the word “tribulation” and the word “wrath” is one of the main reasons some believers wrongly gravitate toward the concept of a pre-tribulation rapture. Believers are never promised a life free from tribulation. However, “God did NOT appoint us to wrath but to obtain salvation” (1 Th. 5:9) There is a difference! www.thetruelight.net
Why does the Bible teach that Jesus will come back “as a thief in the night”? Jesus compared his return and the church’s condition to the days of Noah. Why should believers want to be the ones “left behind”? This episode may offer insights that quite possibly you have never considered before! www.thetruelight.net
Did the early church fathers teach a pre-tribulation rapture? If not, when did that doctrine first make its appearance? Why did Paul say the Antichrist must be revealed before our “gathering together” to the Lord takes place? Does the Bible emphasize the “appearing of the Lord” or the “disappearing of the church”? What did Jesus teach about these things? Many questions need to be answered.
The great tribulation is rushing toward us like a dark, ominous, swirling storm cloud. Will the church be ready to take a strong and final stand for truth or will God allow His people to escape seven years before the end of the age? Do the scriptures support a post-tribulation catching away of the saints or a pre-tribulation rapture? Solid answers await.
Google the question, “Does the universe love me?” and millions of affirmative responses will pull up, encouraging you to believe that “the universe has your back” or that you should “trust the universe”—and how to consciously walk in that level of spiritual awareness. Is that even possible? Is the cosmos capable of emotion? Or is this deception and delusion? www.thetruelight.net
Psalm 23 is one of the most beloved chapters in the Bible. It hides a rarely understood mystery concerning the “valley of the shadow of death.” Your host, Mike Shreve, unveils this mystery, and then he shares five times he has faced death and the valuable lessons he learned. www.thetruelight.net
Every religion’s name reveals an important insight about that belief system: either its origin or a primary concept its followers embrace, or both. Surprisingly, these names often speak of longings common to all who seek the truth. What does that indicate? A very important teaching www.thetruelight.net
Why is the “Golden Rule” found in almost every major religion? Some assume it indicates all those religions are equally legitimate paths to God. Is that right or wrong? If this concept is found in the Scripture base of multiple worldviews, how did it get there? There are three possible answers. See which one you believe.
Do you think going to a yoga class is harmless? Think again. The poses assumed, according to the teachings of Hinduism, are offerings to specific Hindu deities. Ten yoga poses will be examined in this teaching. Shiva, the god of destruction, is referred to in Hinduism as “the Lord of yoga.” It is a system intentionally designed to carry practitioners into an altered state of mind called “God-consciousness,” which means “a conscious awareness that YOU ARE GOD!”
Many religions include Jesus in their doctrinal base, but they define His identity, His nature, and His purpose in non-biblical, and often, heretical ways. Bible believers need to be equipped to recognize these erroneous views and respond with the truth. At Caesarea Philippi, Jesus asked His disciples, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” (Mt. 16:13) On this episode of “Revealing the True Light,” Mike Shreve, will provide answers to that important question.
Dallas Jenkins, the talented and respected producer of THE CHOSEN TV series (films about the life of Jesus), recently commented concerning Mormons and evangelical Christians, “We love the same JESUS.” Is that true? Is the Jesus promoted in Mormonism the same as the Jesus we read about in the Bible? Dallas is a very loving and passionate believer and brother in the Lord and I honor him for his tremendous work that has impacted millions, but this issue needs to be clarified. www.thetruelight.net
Jesus is a very prominent figure in the Quran. He is mentioned 97 times in 93 verses. His name is Isa. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, and is considered a prophet. He worked miracles and is coming back again. All of these ideas sound very biblical—but other references to Jesus in the Quran completely contradict the Bible. www.thetruelight.net
Only in Christianity and Judaism do you find the concept of “The Book of Life”—mentioned sixteen times in the Bible. Since God is omniscient—and He knows all things past, present, and future—why would He need a book or a registry of all who are gifted with eternal life? Could this just be metaphorical, a symbolic way God compares a heavenly truth to an earthly object we are familiar with? Or is “The Book of Life” literal?
www.thetruelight.net
Hearing the phrase—“the evil eye”—strikes fear in the hearts of those who are superstitious. It involves a belief that a malevolent glare directed toward a person can cause misfortune, harm, injury, and even catastrophic problems. Is this true? Does a person need protection? When Jesus identified an “evil eye” in His teaching, what was He referring to? www.thetruelight.net
Does the Statue of Liberty, that beloved icon of freedom and hope, contain occult symbols promoting false religious belief systems? If so, are they innocuous and unimportant, or proof of dark, ominous, evil influences invading our culture and contaminating our nation? You decide after listening to all the facts. www.thetruelight.net
What does the tree of life represent? Intriguingly, this spiritual symbol is discovered, not only in biblical Judaism and Christianity, but also, in Buddhism, Islam, and Kabbala (which is the mystical branch of Judaism), as well as other world religions. When we understand the biblical revelation concerning this renowned tree, the door will open to some of the deepest mysteries of the kingdom of God. www.thetruelight.net
The King James Version of Isaiah 45:7 quotes God as saying, “I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil.” This translation makes it sound like the Creator is the source of all the evil in this world. How could that be true? What is the correct translation and interpretation of that controversial verse? www.thetruelight.net
Two direct encounters with Satan taught me numerous lessons that have been part of the foundation of revelation in my walk with God. Both occurred at night, in a dream-like state. In the first dream, the Holy Spirit rose up with me to rebuke the enemy. In the second dream, God Himself rebuked the enemy. What was spoken in both dreams is extremely important.

Is Satan’s personal name really Lucifer? Was he the worship leader of heaven before he fell? Did he hover over the throne of God in heaven? Did a third of the angels fall with him? Often believers repeat biblically-based ideas like these without fully researching them in Scripture. It is possible they are based on wrong assumptions. You may change what you believe after listening to this teaching. www.shreveministries.org
So many beliefs about Satan cannot be proven by Scripture. Just because they are generally accepted doesn’t mean they are right. Is Satan’s skin red? Does he have a tail and batwings? Does he reign in hell? Can he torment you daily? Many questions need to be answered. Once you see the truth, it will completely change your way of looking at this arch-enemy of the church. www.thetruelight.net
Were the Nephilim giants of Genesis 6 the offspring of fallen angels and earthly women? If so, why are they mentioned after the flood too—since everyone except Noah’s family were drowned? Is this mysterious passage simply about rampant polygamy or sexual contact with supernatural entities? www.thetruelight.net
Should human beings seek angelic encounters, initiating conversations with them? Some Christian teachers insist we can and should. Is this pure, biblical truth or an erroneous approach also found in New Age spirituality? You decide! www.thetruelight.net
Can believers command angels to do their bidding? Some teachers of the Word say we can. Angels are ministering spirits sent forth to minister to and for the heirs of salvation, so shouldn’t we exert some kind of authority over them? What does the Bible have to say? www.thetruelight.net
Angels are mentioned over 250 times in the Bible. Their God-given purpose is inseparably intertwined with God’s plan for humankind. Does every person have a guardian angel? Is there such a thing as “an angel of death”? What are the divisions in the angelic kingdom? Both truths and misconceptions need to be addressed. www.thetruelight.net
Angels fill many roles: worshipers, warriors, watchers, messengers, ministers, protectors, and administrators of God’s affairs in heaven and earth. They are vitally important to the plans and purposes of God. However, there are many misconceptions and differing opinions in various religions concerning their nature, their functions, and to what degree human beings can interact with them.
Some pluralistic thinkers propose any name assigned to God in any religion is legitimate and appropriate. Is that true? Or is there a correct revelation of the divine name that uniquely and powerfully grants access into a personal relationship with Him? The answer is profound and extremely important. www.thetruelight.net
Prema Sankarsingh was raised in a Hindu temple, however, as a child, Jesus appeared to her in two dreams. Twenty years later, through a miraculous coincidence, she was led to true salvation. Though she worshiped many of the 330 million Hindu gods and goddesses, the true God revealed Himself to her and everything changed. A powerful interview you will want to share.
Is “The Law of Attraction” a legitimate approach to success in life? Does it work? Is it the same as “The Law of Sowing and Reaping” in the Bible? What are the differences? What is “The Secret” and should it be embraced by people of all religions? Many questions about the societal megatrend need to be answered. www.thetruelight.net

The world is full of religions that practice idolatry—the representation of various manmade deities in statues, images, or drawings that are used as objects of worship by devoted followers. Is this wrong? How does the true and living God feel about idolatry? www.thetruelight.net
Eight primary meditation methods are found in eastern religions and new age spirituality, such as breath meditation, chakra meditation, and mantra meditation. In the last episode, we focused on the true biblical approach to meditation; on this episode, we will examine non-biblical practices and arrive at some very important conclusions.
Almost all religions teach methods of meditation. Not all are acceptable to God. If meditation techniques are mechanical, mindless, monotonous, mundane, magical, or even overly mystical, they are probably the wrong approach. Biblical meditation is relational: the overflow of loving communion between the heavenly Father and His sons and daughters.

From Masonic ceremonies to Luciferianism to the depiction of Greek gods and goddesses alongside George Washington, the capitol building in DC has been spiritually under siege since 1793. What does God think about this and what do we need to do? www.thetruelight.net
There is a belief among some Christians that the second coming of Jesus Christ is spiritual, not literal, that it will happen in His people, that there will be no visible return of Jesus to the earth, and that all the scriptures dealing with that blessed hope are metaphorical and should be spiritualized. Are they right?
New Agers often promote reincarnation by quoting Bible passages. For instance, concerning John the Baptist, Jesus said, “If you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah.” How do you prove just one life when dealing with this and other puzzling passages of Scripture?

Almost every religion promotes a unique view of the future of the universe. These concepts often contradict each other and cannot all be true. Eastern religions are usually cyclical. Mideastern religions tend to be linear. What's the difference? www.thetruelight.net
Why does God allow evil to exist in this world and all the pain that results from it: corrupted hearts, damaged lives, and destroyed dreams? If God is good, why is there so much “bad”? If God created the wicked one perfect (before his fall), how did he ever become wicked? www.thetruelight.net

Why is Jesus called the “true light,” the “true bread,” the “true vine” and “the true God” in Scripture? To label something “true” implies the existence of a counterfeit that is “false.” No wonder Jesus said, “Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness” (Luke 11:35). www.thetruelight.net
Learn the difference between New Age affirmations and biblically-based confessions of faith. Many Christians, out of concern they are dabbling in New Age practices, throw out the “baby with the bath water.” This teaching will resolve the issue.
Pranayama is the yogic practice of breath control. Practitioners claim it helps them reach higher levels of consciousness by activating the chakras and intensifying the intake of “prana” (the divine life force). How does this compare to the biblical concept of the breath of God? And why do some popular Christian worship songs actually align with this Hindu concept?
Many religions acknowledge evil spirits exist but differ greatly in explaining how they got here, why they exist, what they are like and how to overcome them. Let’s explore a wide range of beliefs and compare them to the only inspired source of revelation: The Bible.
This idea of the origin of evil has plagued the minds of deep thinkers for thousands of years. How did this world become so wicked? Did God author it? Have people caused this chaos? Do we blame it all on the devil? What’s the root source? More importantly, what is the cure?
Is the practice of chanting mantras a powerful means of achieving enlightenment or a futile and improper attempt at penetrating the realm of the supernatural? What did Jesus say about it? Is the well-known “Jesus Prayer” just a Christian mantra?
Hinduism teaches that maya (delusion) prevents human beings from understanding their true nature. Christianity teaches human beings live misguided lives because of deception. Are both these beliefs the same, or are they completely different?
Billions have never heard of Jesus—what happens to them? A primary objection to Christianity concerns how unjust it would be if God required faith in the Gospel of those who have never heard it. Does the Bible give a suitable explanation?
Does the Kingdom of God reside within every person? Jesus explained to the Pharisees, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, 'See here!' or 'See there!'
