## Resource

Is NAR (New Apostolic Reformation) theology espoused by Bill Johnson (Bethel Church), or Danny Silk (Culture of Honor) and other charismatic churches and organizations inherently abusive, or has the charismatic movement been plagued by just a few bad apples? John Cooper (from the band, Skillet) Went on Alisa Childers' podcast and laid out the case that churches led by divinely inspired "apostles" is not only unbiblical, but incredibly dangerous. In this episode we walk through why John Cooper is right—how unaccountable apostolic authority, secret doctrine, and “touch not the Lord’s anointed” culture harm families and fracture churches. We also look at how those same NAR patterns show up around Bethel Church and the wider worship/prophetic world, and how to keep the Holy Spirit without the hierarchy. If you watched the Alisa Childers / Skillet interview and want a clear, biblical charismatic take, this is for you.
