In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Rhenn Cherry joins us to examine the theology within the Enneagram. Drawing from Scripture and years of theological study, Dr. Cherry discusses why the Enneagram is fundamentally unbiblical and how it conflicts with core Christian doctrine. Whether you’re a skeptic, a curious believer, or someone deeply invested in spiritual truth, this episode offers a compelling, biblical perspective on a popular but controversial tool.

*This episode is an updated version of a previous episode from Season 2.

May this episode expose the false teaching entering the church and bring glory to God.

Explore the intersection of automatic writing, idolatry, and the Enneagram with renowned spiritual teacher Doreen Virtue. In this insightful discussion, Doreen shares her expertise on the spiritual risks of New Age tools, the Enneagram, and how the Ennea-types were developed through automatic writing. Is the Enneagram "just a personality test"? And should Christians "redeem" pagan spiritual tools to "gospel-center" them in hopes of making us more like Christ? Can we just "eat the meat and spit out the bones" of tools like these?

In this episode, we critically examine the Gospel-centered Enneagram and its conflict with the sufficiency of Scripture to disciple others. Is using the Enneagram in a Christian context truly in line with biblical teachings? We explore how the Enneagram, even when framed through a Gospel lens, may undermine the all-sufficient Word of God.

Join me as I discuss the dangers of integrating this “personality test” with Scripture and why it’s crucial to rely solely on the Bible for guidance in life and faith. If you’re seeking a biblical perspective on the Enneagram, this video is a must-watch! Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more thought-provoking content.

Is the way we have seen, trained, and determined someone to be spiritual derived from Scripture or from mysticism? A lot of the popular examples of someone being spirit filled points us to people who have extraordinary experiences and witness supernatural signs and wonders. These are a sign that one has a deep relationship with God. And that relationship developed with continued personal supernatural experiences. These are the starting points to the relationship and are continually sought after to maintain or develop that relationship. These personal experiences are how people gauge they are intimate with God or, as people also say spiritual/spirit filled and led (aka are spiritual).

But what does Scripture say about spirituality? What does the Spirit lead one to do when they are filled by Him? What does the Spirit filled/led person look like according to Scripture?

When I came across the speakers and worship leaders set to present at Gather25, I had to put together a rough episode to expose the ministries/churches that are being propped up by Gather25 as those "being used of God" to advance His kingdom.

Are those presented at this global church gathering an example of men and women who submit to Christ's headship over the church?

Spiritual Disciplines and this idea of "practicing the way" of Jesus is quickly becoming a large movement with in the Evangelical church today. How are these teachings entering the local churches and who are the Spiritual directors that are seen as the Masters of "spiritual" formation? What are some of the dangerous doctrines that these teachers believe that may lead undiscerning women to fall for an walk in?

In this episode I had the honor of having Marcia Montenegro of Christian Answers for the New Age

What is Mysticism? What is Christian Mysticism? Is it compatible with the Gospel? Or does it teach a different path to God?

In this episode we look at what Christian Mysticism teaches about the nature of God, the nature of man, the nature of sin, and the nature of salvation and compare it to the Gospel.

Is it truly Christian and what are the dangers to Christian women should they go down the mystic path?

May this episode expose the false teaching entering the church and bring glory to God.
