    Kirk Cameron is a man of God. He has a long record of making a huge impact for the kingdom. However, he has recently changed his stance on the doctrine of hell.

Speaking of hell, Zac Brown has faced backlash for his recent show at the Sphere that seemed to take his fans straight into the depths. Some claim it was a demonic ceremony performed before our eyes. Some say it was just an artistic expression of the pain he experienced in his life.

    Oct 4 2025
    As the nation moves farther away from God, the U.S. military seems to be as well. Norse paganism, also known as heathenry, is a polytheistic religion focused on the worship of Norse gods like Odin and Thor. The trends we are seeing in the military leave us troubled, and we caution our armed service members to stay away from this false religion. This week we also hear letters from the audience that detail demonic oppression in the form of dreams. How should Christians deal with these attacks?
