(Podcast 5.13.20) Safeguarding Continuationism from the NAR and New Age Practices with Chris Berg

On today’s podcast, Brian Chilton and Curtis Evelo are joined by Chris Berg. Chris fields questions concerning continuationism and the safeguards that need to be kept to ward off New Age thinking. He also discusses the rise of the New Apostolic Reformation and the dangers it poses to the church. Brian, Curtis, and Chris all contend that while continuationism is an appropriate worldview, it cannot be abused to allow for foreign practices that are unsupported by Scripture.
