The new “Return to the Shack” novel has just been released.

You may remember the controversy surrounding the first “The Shack” book and movie back in 2007, but according to some who have read an advanced copy, the sequel is much worse.

In this episode we cover:

- Exploring author William Paul Young’s Universalism belief

- How “Return to the Shack” conceals the new age

A new viral video online claims "Paul is a false Apostle that Jesus warned about in the Book of Revelation".

Tonight on the RISE Radio Podcast, we are joined by James from Canada, a street pastor who runs an outreach ministry called "Into the Light Society".

A popular trend today convinces people that seeing patterns of numbers unlocks a special power or meaning for their life.

Sometimes this leads to a fixation on license plates, clocks, receipts, Bible verse numbers etc. in an effort to find secret messages or instructions.

Doreen Virtue, who was a prominent new age author and guru for many years, argues this practise is not innocent or harmless, but is a demonic deception.

In this podcast episode on RISE Radio, Doreen Virtue joins us to discuss her experience with numerology in the new age and...

Andrew Jones and the Noah’s Ark Scans team have been researching at the Mt Ararat site for many years.

The boat shaped feature in the mountains of Eastern Turkey has long been debated and contested, whether it is simply a natural but strange geological feature or the remnants of the Biblical Ark used in the days of the worldwide flood.

After several scientific tests have been conducted, Andrew Jones has now worked alongside Dr. Khosrow Bakhtar, who is a veteran of 25+ U.S. Department of Defense projects and author of 200+ technical papers.

The Call Is Urgent.. The Hour Is Late.

It's important that we take these times seriously. 

Wars. Conflicts. Strange weather events. Civil Unrest. Droughts. Earthquakes in diverse places. And that's just in the last couple of weeks.

We can see many of the signs that Jesus Christ warned us to look for. The Bible has shown us how reliable and trustworthy it is.

In this podcast we talk about 2 Peter chapter 3, and the important perspective it gives us about the last days of human history.

Kevin and Barb Sisti spent many years in Word of Faith Groups, including IHOP and under the ministry of Dean Briggs.

But something happened that woke the couple up to concerns about the movements beliefs, and parallels with the New Age Religion that has shocked them.

In this episode, I ask them about their experiences. What led them to leave the NAR, what their research since has uncovered, and their message for those who are still involved.

Kevin and Barb run a Youtube channel, where they unpack what they've learned and show viewers...

During this time, Dawn was told by her “Apostle” that she would lead a big movement and began to believe she herself was a Prophet.

Are new “psychedelic” treatments safe?

Tonight we are joined by author and speaker Joseph Jordan, who has spent 30 years researching the UFO / UAP phenomenon.

This factor, among many others discussed in this podcast episode, have proven time and again to Joseph and the CE4 Research team, that we are dealing with...

Tonight we are talking about the dangers of critical theory and its religious counterpart “Liberation Theology” (which was first coined by a Jesuit priest).

This popular belief system takes highly complex issues and paints them as black & white, removing all nuance.

In this ideology there’s always a perpetual “oppressor”, who can never do anything right. And a perpetually “oppressed”, who can never do anything wrong.

Often the result is that even more oppression is created. And, at worst, it leads to a much worse outcome than it sought to resolve.

What are the dangers of the New Apostolic Reformation?

Tonight we are talking about the doctrines of demons behind agendas which are being pushed forward by the New Age Movement and the inter-dimensional Alien narrative.

We see ancient deceptions infiltrating peoples minds and worldview as they become convinced that humanity wasn’t created by the God of the Bible, but instead we were 'seeded on the earth' by an advanced group of highly evolved beings.

However, as we dig into where these ideas originate, and its influences in the modern new age movement, we discover something very disturbing.

But after years of pursuing an alternate lifestyle and campaigning for liberal causes, Adira began to question her lifestyle...
