  • How Counterfeit Movements Gain Traction in the Church

    How Counterfeit Movements Gain Traction in the Church
    Feb 21 2026
    In this episode of The Weekly Watch, part of the Contending for the Word podcast, Dave Jenkins examines how counterfeit movements gain traction inside the church, and why biblical vigilance is not optional for Christians today. False movements rarely begin with outright heresy. Instead, they often arise from legitimate concerns: cultural decay, a desire for revival, frustration with shallow Christianity, or a hunger for spiritual depth. Over time, biblical themes are exaggerated, isolated, or detached from the full counsel of God's Word, eventually replacing the gospel rather than serving it. Drawing from passages such as 2 Corinthians 11, Jude 3, 1 John 4:1, Matthew 24, and Acts 20, this episode explores: • How counterfeit movements disguise themselves as truth. • Why fear, simplicity, and unaccountable authority fuel their growth. • How false teaching subtly shifts the mission of the church. • What faithful vigilance looks like without paranoia or cynicism. Scripture calls believers not to panic, but to be watchful to test every teaching, remain rooted in the local church, and submit all authority to Christ as revealed in His Word. Vigilance is not fear. It is faithfulness. For more episodes of Contending for the Word, visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/contending-for-the-word-podcast/

  • The Seven Mountain Mandate: History, Origins, and a Biblical Assessment

    The Seven Mountain Mandate: History, Origins, and a Biblical Assessment
    Feb 17 2026
    In this episode of Contending for the Word, Dave Jenkins examines the Seven Mountain Mandate by tracing its historical development, commonly claimed origins, and its shift from cultural engagement into a theology of dominion and control. This is not a political discussion, but a biblical and theological one. Scripture calls Christians to test the spirits (1 John 4:1), remain anchored in the sufficiency of God's Word, and guard the mission Christ entrusted to His church. In this episode, we explore: • How Christians have historically engaged culture without seeking dominion. • The frequently cited 1975 origin story and how it has been reshaped over time. • The influence of modern teachers who frame cultural control as a spiritual mandate. • Why the Seven Mountain Mandate distorts the Great Commission. • How believers can pursue faithful witness without confusing influence with control. Christ does not need the church to seize power in order to reign. Christ reigns now. The church is called to discipleship, proclamation, humility, and faithfulness to the Word of God. Key Scriptures: 1 John 4:1 • Matthew 28:18–20 • John 18:36 • Matthew 20:25–28 • 2 Corinthians 10:3–5 • Romans 1:16 For more episodes of Contending for the Word, visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/contending-for-the-word-podcast/

  • Counterfeit Spirituality and False Revival: Why Discernment Still Matters

    Counterfeit Spirituality and False Revival: Why Discernment Still Matters
    Feb 14 2026
    In this episode of The Weekly Watch, part of the Contending for the Word podcast, Dave Jenkins examines the rise of counterfeit spirituality, false revival language, and experience-driven teachings that subtly shift authority away from Scripture. Instead of reacting with speculation or outrage, this episode calls believers to biblical discernment grounded in the sufficiency, clarity, and authority of God's Word. True spiritual depth is not found in emotional momentum or inward experience, but in faithfulness to Christ as He is revealed in Scripture. You'll be encouraged to test all things, hold fast to what is good, and stay anchored in the Word of God in an age of confusion and deception.
