Dr. Michael Heiser, of the Naked Bible Podcast, recently interviewed me about the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR). Topics we addressed included defining NAR and explaining exactly what distinguishes NAR from other groups and movements, including Pentecostals, charismatics, the Vineyard movement, and the signs and wonders movement. We also discussed ways to help people who are caught up in NAR teachings. Listen to the podcast here.Here's a description of the episode from the Naked Bible Podcast website.

What is the New Apostolic Reformation, with Holly Pivec

The New Apostolic Reformation seems to quite clearly justify labeling it a movement or denomination. Millions of people around the world are part of its network of churches. However, many NAR leaders and advocates deny that it’s a denomination or movement. Many Christians who are attracted by NAR teachings and practices have no idea that something called the NAR even exists. For those aware of its influence and presence within Christianity, the NAR has branded itself as representing the return of authoritative apostles and prophets to the modern church, complete with miracles such as healing and raising the dead. On this episode, we talk to Holly Pivec, and authority on the NAR, to learn what it is, what its defining characteristics are, and how we should think about its teachings.
