  • Does God Command Restoring Predator Pastors? 10 Qs with Mike Winger (Ep 56)
    Aug 8 2025

    Today's Time Stamps:

    1. 0:33 {Restoring Predators?} As a policy, does God command us to restore predators to ministry, as Rick Joyner teaches?
    2. 23:52 {“Not Many…” So Should I?} How does someone answer the call to be a teacher or a pastor if they feel called but is concerned about the warning in James that not many should become teachers?
    3. 28:36 {Bringing Concerns to Leadership} I am 16 years old, attending an egalitarian church. I’ve been watching and studying your Women in Ministry series. How do I go about discussing this issue productively with the leaders of my church?
    4. 34:42 {“Red Letters”: More Important?} Are Paul's words in Scripture less important than Jesus' words?
    5. 38:47 {The Best Counsel for Couples} My wife and I recently starting doing pre-marital counseling for other couples in our church. What is some of the best advice we should give these couples?
    6. 41:37 {Paul’s Gospel?} In Philemon 1:19, why did Philemon owe himself to Paul? And why does Paul call it "his" gospel (please also see Romans 2:16 , 16:25, 2 Timothy 2:8)?
    7. 49:32 {Worship Lyrics: Thinking Biblically} I have a question about a worship song. Do you think it is appropriate to sing “Let Your holy fire consume us”?
    8. 51:55 {Are Annulments Biblical?} What are your thoughts on annulments? Are they biblical and are they ever wise? Or are people just trying to justify their divorce?
    9. 57:53 {Hats: Disrespectful or Stylish?} My mother-in-law is "old-fashioned." What's your opinion about wearing hats in church? How about pastors preaching in them?
    10. 1:01:42 {Why We’re Never Satisfied} How do I deal with not being satisfied in life? I feel guilty because God should satisfy me and be all that I need, but I don't feel satisfied or content.
    11. 1:06:19 BONUS: Can you PLEASE give a shout-out to my husband, Michael (non-believer) who started listening to you because I wouldn't stop talking about it! Please pray for him!

  • How victims are demonized: Bob Hazlett, Cindy Jacobs
    Aug 7 2025

    Sorry for the abrupt ending to this video. I was genuinely just saddened by this garbage. I've had some time to think it over and I am going to put this video on more than just X. It seems like a good example of Cover-up Culture and I am hoping that Cindy or Mike Jacobs, or Bob or Erica Hazlett may actually consider these things and realize they have been part of the problem. It would be awesome to see them admit it and make changes!

    Friends, the problem of Cover-up Culture in charismatic churches is even worse than I thought a month ago. Here's a simple example of how leaders give an imbalanced response to accountability and further promote Cover-up Culture in the name of seeking the well-being of others. It's so incredibly harmful!

    You can watch the full, original video from Cindy Jacobs right here.

  • False Prophetess and Blasphemer defends her brother, Mike Bickle.
    Aug 5 2025

    They are trying to put Mike Bickle back in ministry and using false prophecy to do it! This is bad.

    I know my words here are harsh. They need to be. If we respond too gently to this stuff, people will be lulled to sleep.

    I hate making these videos but believe they are needful.

  • Reading all of Psalm 119 for your edification
    Jul 27 2025

    Delight in God's Word.

    This reading is from the NET Bible. Unlike most translations, the NET allows for people to use it as much as they want without worrying about getting special permissions for quoting long sections. This is why I'm using it here. The copyright warnings of most modern translations forbid me from making this kind of video without approval from the publisher.

  • How AI will steal your knowledge of Scripture: 10 Qs with Mike Winger (Ep 55)
    Jul 19 2025

    Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:

    1. 0:58 {Pastors Using AI?} For pastors preparing sermons: What is the proper use of AI (artificial intelligence)? What are some rules of wisdom we can apply when using AI as a helpful tool?
    2. 27:23 {“Soul” in the OT/NT} How do we reconcile the Old Testament use of "soul" to mean a whole person with statements by Jesus implying that a soul is a separate entity? He seems to be contradicting what the Old Testament teaches.
    3. 31:24 {Why is Open Theism Unbiblical?} I know in the past you have been against Open Theism. Why is the idea of a non-completely settled future unbiblical? I lean toward Open Theism due to God’s freedom.
    4. 33:53 {Praying for Personal Blessings: Selfish?} Can you share your insight on how to get over the feeling that it’s somehow wrong to pray for personal blessings? Objectively, I know it’s not, but the feeling often creeps in, as if it’s selfish.
    5. 37:47 {“Lord” in the OT vs. NT} Is the title of Lord used in the same capacity in the New Testament as it is in the Old Testament (for example, in John 13:13)?
    6. 42:26 {Confessing to Others} You've recently been calling leaders out publicly. Do all Christians need to publicly confess our sins, or only leaders? Is confessing to God and repenting enough, or should we tell each other?
    7. 51:36 {The Importance of Jesus’ Lineage} Why was it so important for Jesus to be born from Seth vs. Cain, Isaac vs. Ishmael, etc., since He came to save all mankind?
    8. 53:49 {Should Shame Linger?} As a kid, even after apologizing, I felt my parents' shame/disappointment/anger in the room until a period of time would pass. I know my sin harms my intimacy w/God even though Romans 8:1 is true, so I can't get over the "awkward in the room" feeling when I try to pray or draw near to God after sinning. Should shame linger for a period of time?
    9. 57:09 {Church Leadership: Unbiblical Demands?} A church I know has an Intellectual Property document that staff signs and it says they can't pursue personal creative projects without the leadership’s permission. Is this biblical?
    10. 1:02:04 {How to Draw Near to God} How can someone draw closer to God?

    If anyone involved in the cover-up and harm comes forward with genuine repentance and confession we will FULLY forgive and embrace them in brotherly love. That would not only be acceptable, it would be an ideal goal and hope.

  • Would they abort Jesus? 10 Qs with Mike Winger (Ep 54)
    Jul 4 2025


    Today's Timestamps:

    1. 0:19 {Would They Abort Jesus?} What are four Bible verses to learn, to support the pro-live position? Would they have aborted Jesus back in history, based on current cultural reasoning we hear?
    2. 21:43 {Sins Against Us or Just God?} If someone commits a sin against you (abuse, etc.), are you also owed justice? Can Jesus forgive the justice you are owed, or was the sin committed only against God and not you (the sinner is now saved)?
    3. 29:54 {Choosing Between Two Churches} What would you do if you had to choose between a Calvinist leaning church and a church that believed women could be elders? Both churches are otherwise healthy and doctrinally sound.
    4. 33:14 {Interpreting the “High Places”} How should we understand the "high places"? 2 Chronicles 15: 17 and other passages condemn the kings for not tearing them down, but in 1 Samuel 9: 12, Samuel attends and blesses a sacrifice at a high place.
    5. ​44:43 {Processing Past Relationship Issues} My wife had several partners before our marriage. I wasn’t around, but I feel like I have to forgive the men. Am I being weird? How do I bring this to God, because I'm still losing sleep 10 years later?
    6. 49:02 {Different Translations = Different Meanings?} Why does 1 Samuel 13:1 have different meanings in different translations (like the NKJV and NIV)?
    7. 58:25 {Is the Holy Spirit All-Knowing?} Does Matthew 24: 36 imply that the Holy Spirit doesn't know everything? How does that work if the Holy Spirit is God? I've been struggling with the Trinity lately.
    8. 1:04:36 {Submitting to a Non-Christian Husband?} How should a newly Christian woman apply Ephesians 5: 22 and Colossians 3: 18 when her husband has not yet come to Christ and is not supportive of her conversion?
    9. 1:10:46 {Galatians: The Meaning of “Quickly”} When the Galatians quickly deserted the Gospel (Galatians 1:6), did "quickly" refer to the time after Paul left to when they heard false teaching, or how easily they turned once they heard false teaching?
    10. 1:15:19 {Historical Data: Biblical Christianity} Is there any historical data on biblical Christianity outside the Catholic Church before the Reformation?

    Bonus Q! 1:21:59 What’s your favorite Star Wars film?

    3:09:27 Elijah's Final Appeal
    3:17:08 Important Disclaimers

    Shawn Bolz is the false prophet. Elijah Stephens is the Christian who was misled and greatly harmed. Bethel is the church that I believe could have stopped it, and chose not to, endorsing the fake prophet and failing to deal properly with him and warn their people when evidence came out that he was lying in God's name. This video is made to help stir up positive change in the movement.

Elijah asked me to share this with you for the sake of integrity, transparency, and accountability, but he doesn't want it viewed outside the context of this interview.
