  • Testing the Spirits: Contemplative Spirituality Q&A

    Testing the Spirits: Contemplative Spirituality Q&A
    Feb 10 2026
    In this Contending for the Word Q&A episode, Dave Jenkins is joined by Marcia Montenegro to examine contemplative spirituality and why Scripture commands believers to test the spirits rather than adopt man-made methods of spiritual growth. Contemplative spirituality is often presented as a deeper or more authentic Christian life, yet it is rooted in experience-driven practices that can introduce doctrinal error and subtly undermine the authority and sufficiency of Scripture. In this episode, Dave and Marcia address listener questions and explain why contemplative spirituality is not a neutral practice, but a spiritually harmful approach tied to unbiblical theology. This episode addresses: • What contemplative spirituality teaches and why it appeals to Christians. • How unbiblical approaches to spiritual growth distort sound doctrine. • The difference between biblical meditation and mystical practices. • Why experience must never replace Scripture as the final authority. • How Christians can respond with biblical discernment, clarity, and love. This Q&A is designed to help believers remain anchored in God's Word and stand firm against spiritual error in the church.

  • Why Discernment Is Not Optional in a Noisy Church Age

    Why Discernment Is Not Optional in a Noisy Church Age
    Feb 7 2026
    The church today is surrounded by spiritual noise, theological confusion, and growing authority drift. In this episode of The Weekly Watch on Contending for the Word, Dave Jenkins explains why biblical discernment is not optional for Christians living in a confusing age. Drawing from Scripture, this message addresses the rebranding of false movements such as the New Apostolic Reformation, the rise of counterfeit spirituality that elevates experience over God's Word, and the growing tendency to treat doctrine as mere personal opinion. It also explains why biblical correction is often labeled unloving, and why Scripture teaches otherwise. Discernment is not fear-driven or reactionary. It is obedience to God. The Bible commands believers to test the spirits, examine teaching, and guard the gospel for the good of the church and the protection of vulnerable believers. This episode offers both warning and encouragement, calling Christians to remain anchored in Christ, His Word, the local church, and the means of grace.

  • Why Biblical Theology Matters for Discernment

    Why Biblical Theology Matters for Discernment
    Feb 3 2026
    In this episode of Contending for the Word, Dave Jenkins begins our February focus on testing the spirits, exposing counterfeits, and standing firmly on the truth of God's Word. Many Christians who drift into false teaching do not do so because they reject Scripture, but because they lack a framework for understanding how the Bible fits together as one unified story centered on Christ. This episode explains why biblical theology is essential for true discernment and how it protects believers from fragmented Bible reading, counterfeit spirituality, and subtle gospel distortion. In this episode, you'll learn: • What biblical theology is and why it is not merely academic. • How fragmented Scripture reading weakens discernment. • Why false teaching often sounds biblical while redefining biblical terms. • How biblical theology safeguards the gospel. • Why discernment is about trajectory, not isolated mistakes. • How biblical theology stabilizes the church and produces maturity. Key passages include Luke 24, Nehemiah 8, Galatians 1, Ephesians 4, Colossians 2, and John 17. This episode is not about naming names or generating outrage. It is about helping ordinary Christians see truth clearly, recognize counterfeits, and remain anchored in the Word of God. "Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth." (John 17:17) For more from Contending for the Word, visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/contending-for-the-word-podcast/
