  • Che Ahn vs. Newsom: Supreme Court Victory, Spiritual Warfare, and a Run for Governor
    Feb 26 2026

    In this special episode of the Strang Report, host Stephen Strang sits down with longtime friend Che Ahn—apostolic leader, pastor of Harvest Rock Church in Pasadena, and now candidate for Governor of California. Che shares how his landmark Supreme Court victory against Governor Gavin Newsom during the COVID-19 church shutdowns propelled him into a new assignment: running for the state’s highest office. He explains the spiritual encounter that led him to lay down his “dream job” in ministry, why he believes revival and reformation must go hand-in-hand with public policy, and how he hopes to mobilize one million prayer warriors and voters to transform California. Che also outlines common-sense policy priorities—from enforcing Proposition 36 and addressing homelessness, to fixing water infrastructure and pushing back on radical environmental mandates. Stephen offers his public endorsement, and together they issue a call for believers in California and across the nation to pray, fast, and act for the future of the Golden State.

  • Shawn Bolz, Bethel & Prophetic Scandal: Lee Grady and Stephen Strang on Discernment and Integrity
    Jan 29 2026

    In this episode of The Strang Report, Stephen Strang sits down with longtime friend and former Charisma editor J. Lee Grady to discuss the recent Shawn Bolz scandal and Bethel Church’s public response. They walk through: Allegations of faked prophetic words and inappropriate sexual behavior involving Shawn Bolz Why discernment (the discerning of spirits) is desperately needed in the charismatic movement today How Bethel leaders, including Bill Johnson and Kris Vallotton, responded in repentance and what they admitted went wrong Lessons from past prophetic scandals (Paul Cain, W.V. Grant and others) and how media like Charisma tried to confront abuse Why gifts of the Spirit must always be matched with character, integrity, humility and holiness How the church should care for and listen to victims and spiritual “whistleblowers” If you care about the future of the prophetic movement, this honest conversation will help you think biblically about accountability, church leadership, and spiritual abuse—without throwing away genuine moves of the Holy Spirit. 🔔 Subscribe to The Strang Report for more episodes on integrity, revival, and the work of the Holy Spirit. 👍 If this helped you, please like, comment, and share to help others think clearly about this issue. 🙏 Please pray for those affected by the Shawn Bolz situation, for Bethel’s leadership, and for the broader charismatic movement to walk in both gifts and fruit of the Spirit.

  • Has the Charismatic Church Lost Its Power? Stephen Strang’s Urgent Call for Truth & Repentance
    Dec 4 2025

    In this powerful episode of The Strang Report, Stephen Strang exposes the creeping compromise within the charismatic and Pentecostal world. Drawing on decades of experience and four generations in the movement, Strang addresses the shift from holiness and spiritual power to entertainment, the silence on sin and moral issues, and the urgent need for pastors and churches to return to biblical truth, bold preaching, and authentic worship. Discover why the church’s reluctance to confront sin, embrace political and moral clarity, and pursue true spiritual power is threatening the foundation of the Spirit-filled movement. Strang challenges believers and leaders alike to seek repentance, holiness, and the fire of the Holy Spirit once again.
