During the COVID-19 pandemic, churches in each state in America were faced with incredible, heart-wrenching challenges. But no state, perhaps, suffered through the lockdown more than the state of California under liberal Gov. Gavin Newsom. Charisma News has published stories on Pastor Ché Ahn’s battle with persecution to keep his church, Harvest Rock Church, in

It’s difficult to imagine this issue would rear its ugly head in any Bible-believing church—especially a Pentecostal one—but there is a major atrocity I believe tragically has infiltrated many sanctuaries across our great country. The best words I can use to describe this problem is the “Christian left.” There are a lot of Christians out

As the senior leader of the charismatic megachurch, Bethel Church, in Redding, California, Bill Johnson was one of many ministry leaders in the state who were put into an awkward position by Governor Gavin Newsom during the COVID-19 crisis in 2020 and 2021. Johnson and other kingdom leaders worked diligently with local authorities to do

Dennis Doyle was a great man with a generous heart, who was enormously successful in real estate and who used his business acumen to enrich the lives of millions. He was also one of my closest friends. He died of Alzheimer’s on May 15 at age 68. Although we wrote about him in Charisma, and

Despite cancel culture’s desperate attempt to silence him and ruin his company, MyPillow’s Mike Lindell hasn’t stopped fighting for truth and freedom in America. He truly believes what happened in November’s election was a great injustice for this country, and he has tirelessly worked to help overturn it. Lindell told me on a Strang Report

Mario Murillo, who was powerfully used in the Jesus Movement of the 1960s and 1970s, and speaks to millions via his blog, in-person revival meetings and national television programs, says our generation needs Pattons to arise—referring to General George Patton, a hero of World War II. “Patton’s fundamental approach to war in the natural is

A Haitian Creole version of the famed FireBible will soon reach readers, and City Church in Sanford, Florida, is playing a key role. The Bible, described as “a full-featured study Bible with an emphasis on the person and work of the Holy Spirit,” is available now in 60 editions, says Tom Greene, co-founder of ministry

Seth Dillon bought Christian satire site The Babylon Bee in 2017 after first being a fan. He liked the way the satire website seemed to be an equal opportunity offender, even if it saw things from a right-of-center viewpoint. However, he immediately ran into cancel culture when so-called fact-checking sites like Snopes red-flagged the Bee

Many believers today—even within the charismatic-Pentecostal tradition—question prophetic ministry. And these questions have only escalated following the 2020 election, giving rise to the recent Prophetic Standards Statement as reported on Charisma News. Pastor Chris Reed of the Apostolic Revival Center in Peru, Indiana, who functions in the prophetic, says people have long questioned prophetic ministry.

As the social and spiritual climate in our nation gets worse and worse, talk of an end-times revival, even a third Great Awakening, is on the rise. Many young leaders are now declaring the approach of a coming revival, among them a 36-year-old Indiana pastor named Chris Reed, who had a supernatural encounter with an

Eric Metaxas is one of my favorite authors, a modern voice who is speaking more boldly and more articulately than most. He is adamant that Americans have enjoyed liberty for so long that we no longer appreciate what liberty is. It’s like a fish in water, he says. Fish don’t know what water is—they just

Revival stays in the news and on our hearts a lot these days. We expect it; we pray for it; we long to see it because we know it’s a sign of the Holy Spirit’s power. Ron Luce, longtime missions and youth culture expert, says one place is the “best-kept secret on the planet in

Ron Luce has a passion to reach the next generation with the gospel. He has translated his years of experience with teens and international missions to his current ministry, Generation Next, which seeks to help global leaders engage the youth of the world. Luce says that, although there’s not a “copy and paste” way to

Rob McCoy is an unusual figure in that he not only excels in the political arena but is the pastor of Godspeak Calvary Chapel in Ventura, California. For years, he has exhorted Christians to become more involved in the political arena lest they lose their influence—and their rights. And McCoy stands behind his words. He

Back in October 2020, Donald Trump Jr. said in an interview on Hannity that the 2021 election was “about freedom versus tyranny, capitalism versus socialism and communism.” Predictably, he was met with mocking and disbelief. But New Zealander Trevor Loudon says Trump Jr.’s words were accurate. They’re playing out in the Biden administration at such
