Signs of a False Prophet (With Special Guest: Josh Lewis)
Why Do Christians...?
Sunday, August 16, 2026 - 28 minutes
What exactly is a “false prophet,” and how can you tell if you’re following one? In this episode of the Why Do Christians podcast, Mark and Pastor Burt sit down again with Josh Lewis from Remnant Radio for Part 2 of their conversation on spiritual discernment.They dig into practical red flags: leaders who play the “Thus sayeth the Lord” trump card to shut down questions, pyramid-style authority structures where the “man of God” can’t be challenged, and Bible teaching built on wild, over‑spiritualized interpretations no one in church history has ever held.Josh also unpacks why character and the fruit of the Spirit matter more than charisma, and Pastor Burt shares a personal story of getting pulled into a cult‑like ministry. Finally, they offer pastoral guidance on what to do if you realize you may be in an unhealthy church—when to confront, when to leave, and how to guard your heart going forward.You can learn more about Josh’s ministry at https://theremnantradio.com/The Bridge Podcast Network is made possible by generous support from The Boardwalk Plaza Hotel and Victoria’s Restaurant on the boardwalk in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware - Open 7 days a week, year-round - Learn more at https://boardwalkplaza.comFeedback, or Show Ideas?
