Episode #26 of Entangled Kingdoms is now available!
Spiritual deception does not always look like darkness. Sometimes it sounds biblical, appears righteous, and even speaks the name of Jesus.
In this episode, we:
Examine Paul’s warning about “another Jesus,” a “different spirit,” and a “different gospel”
Explore Satan’s disguise as an “angel of light”
Contrast Christlike leadership with manipulation and self-exaltation
Consider how to test the voices shaping our faith
Counterfeit light is dangerous precisely because it looks familiar.
How can believers recognize deception without becoming cynical or suspicious of everyone?
Tune in as we continue to untangle the kingdoms and discover how to live in light of the gospel of Jesus Christ!
