Allegations are mounting against pastor Jeremiah Johnson. Multiple people are coming forward claiming he presented prophetic insights from others as his own, effectively plagiarizing their words.
What does it actually mean to plagiarize a prophetic word? And why is this such a grievous sin in God's eyes?
Scripture speaks directly to this. God said through the prophet Jeremiah: "I am against the prophets … who steal My words from one another" (Jeremiah 23:30).
This episode explores a reckoning that continues to unfold in the Charismatic church. It is not just about one pastor. It is about a culture where social media platforms have enabled the copying of prophetic words without credit, where ad revenue can feed the problem, and where the line between authentic revelation and plagiarism has become dangerously blurred.
Scripture is clear. The gift of prophecy is available to all, and we are encouraged to pursue it. But the words must pass the biblical test of authenticity and accuracy. We should never accept copied words or second-hand revelations.
This is an honest, hard conversation about integrity, honor, and the fear of God.

Your story could be the encouragement another believer has been praying for.

She stood at Speakers' Corner in London, the most famous place in the world for free speech. She wanted to debate, to discuss, to tell people about Jesus Christ. Then a man in a black Islamic robe walked up and stabbed her multiple times in the throat and body.

Hatun Tash, an ex-Muslim turned Christian preacher, survived. She is now speaking out for the first time.

"I am upset and disturbed by what has happened to me," she said. "Watching the video, the intention is clearly to kill me. I can't believe this has happened in broad daylight at Speakers' Corner. You do not expect such things to happen in Great Britain."

The attacker fled. Police have not made an arrest. Counter-terrorism is now investigating.

This is not the first time Hatun has been attacked. She has been slapped, punched, knocked to the ground, and surrounded by threatening mobs. Police have repeatedly failed to protect her. Instead, she has been arrested, detained overnight, and humiliated.

This episode explores the rising threat to free speech, the danger faced by Christians who critique Islam, and one woman's courage to keep speaking even after being stabbed.

Your story could be the encouragement another believer has been praying for.

He was the only Christian in Pakistan's federal cabinet. He spoke out against the country's strict blasphemy laws. He defended Asia Bibi, a Christian woman sentenced to death. He knew he was being hunted. He recorded a video before his death.

"I believe in Jesus Christ who has given his own life for us, and I am ready to die for a cause," Shahbaz Bhatti said. "I'm living for my community… and I will die to defend their rights."

On March 2, 2011, he was gunned down by members of the Taliban while driving in Islamabad.

Ten years later, world leaders, religious figures, and human rights advocates gathered online to remember him. The Archbishop of Canterbury remembered him with "profound gratitude." A U.S. senator called him "one of the most courageous men I have ever known." The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom said his killers have never been prosecuted.

Asia Bibi, now living in Canada, said: "When I remember him I start grieving deeply. I never can forget the martyrdom of Shahbaz Bhatti. Even today I grieve for him and my heart cries and my eyes weep for him."

This episode explores the life, death, and enduring legacy of a modern-day martyr. A man who could have stayed silent. A man who chose to speak. A man who now awaits possible beatification in the Catholic Church.

An OnlyFans model walked up to a Five Guys counter and asked the employee if he was "on the menu." She asked about taking him out back. She proposed meeting after his shift.

The employee said no. "I'm a Christian man, and I'm waiting until marriage."

The video has been viewed over 10 million times. Comments poured in supporting the worker. One person told him to sue her. He replied, "Bro, I'm broke."

This episode explores a simple act of faithfulness in a moment of public pressure. No preaching. No drama. Just a young man who knew what he believed and wasn't afraid to say it.

Savannah Guthrie, co-anchor of the "Today" show, stood before her church on Easter Sunday and admitted something many Christians are afraid to say out loud.

"I have felt abandoned by God."

Two months earlier, her 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie, disappeared from her home. A masked man was caught on doorbell camera tampering with the camera. No arrest has been made. No person of interest has been named. Savannah and her family are offering a $1 million reward for any information that leads to her mother's recovery.

In her Easter message, Savannah wrestled with a painful question. Did Jesus ever experience the agony of not knowing? He knew His destiny was to die on the cross and rise again. He knew the ending. But Savannah admitted that in her own season of trial, she has wondered whether Jesus truly understands this particular wound — the uncertainty, the confusion, the answers withheld.

"This grievous and uniquely cruel injury of not knowing," she called it.

This episode explores a public figure's honest crisis of faith, the hope of resurrection, and the truth that even in the darkest moments, we can still say with conviction, "Happy Easter."

John K. Tarwater taught business classes at Cedarville University, a Baptist school in Ohio. He holds two doctoral degrees, including one in Christian ethics from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He wrote about biblical sexuality and the marriage covenant. He is also a father of ten.

Now he has been indicted on two counts of rape, three counts of sexual battery, and three counts of gross sexual imposition. The victim is a child as young as ten years old. The alleged crimes occurred at property Tarwater once owned, spanning from August 2019 through July 2025.

Tarwater entered a plea of not guilty. His bond is set at $1 million.

Cedarville University placed him on administrative leave in July 2025 after learning of the investigation. By October, he had been dismissed from his contract.

This is not an easy story to tell. But the church must not look away. When a man who taught Christian ethics is accused of such grievous sins, the body of Christ is called to grieve, to pray, and to demand accountability.

Pope Leo XIV said God rejects the prayers of those who wage war. He quoted Isaiah 1:15: "Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen: your hands are full of blood."

Franklin Graham disagrees. He pointed to King David, who prayed that God would train his hands for battle. "God gave great favor to David every time he went into war," Graham told Piers Morgan.

But another guest, Avraham Burg, a former speaker of the Israeli Knesset, pushed back. He reminded viewers that David was not permitted to build the temple because his hands were full of blood. "Bloody warriors are not entitled to build the house of God, the house of peace."

This episode explores a sharp theological debate. Is there such a thing as a just war? Does God hear the prayers of soldiers and generals? And how should Christians think about Iran, Israel, and the modern call to arms?

Graham went further. At a White House Easter lunch, he compared President Trump to Esther, raised up "for such a time as this" to save the Jewish people from the Iranian regime.

This is not an easy conversation. But it is one every Christian needs to consider.

Carrie Underwood won American Idol in 2005 without compromising her Christian faith. Twenty years later, she returned to the judges' panel for the show's second annual Songs of Faith episode.

"I respect ABC and American Idol so much for being bold in this theme," she told The Christian Post. "You don't have to sell your soul to make it in the entertainment industry. Remember where your gifts come from, because it wasn't you."

The episode featured worship music, prayers from a child pastor, and contestants singing "Jireh," "At the Cross," and "Nothing but the Blood." Even judges Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan opened with "Jesus Is Love."

This is a story about faith, fame, and the gentle way one of country music's biggest stars continues to point back to the One who got her here.
