A number of years ago, shortly after Hillsong’s worldwide rise to fame, Charisma did a cover story on Brian Houston, the Australian church’s senior pastor. Hillsong rose quickly to international prominence because of its worship band’s string of worship hits, namely its first hit, “Shout to the Lord,” and more recently “Oceans.” Our former Charisma

Pastor Zhenya Kasevich calls Ukraine “the Bible Belt for Soviet countries.” Beginning in 1990, according to Kasevich, hundreds of Christian ministries started pouring resources into Ukraine. Pastors preached the gospel on Sunday morning. Bibles were readily available to anybody who wanted one, and lots of Christian programming like CBN broadcast the gospel on TV. Because

Just before the Jesus People Movement of the 1970s, things looked terribly dark for America. A sexual revolution was fueled by the free-love culture of West Coast hippies, and drug culture was normalized on college campuses. Evangelist Mario Murillo, who helped to spark the Jesus People Movement, readily points out the parallels between that moment

Over the last 30 years, Hillsong’s conferences, worship music and emphasis on helping pastors build strong local churches have deeply impacted John Finkelde, former pastor and CEO of Grow a Healthy Church in Perth, Australia. Around the world, Hillsong has been known for its worship music, but according to Finkelde, Hillsong’s lesser-known work with the

Ukrainian Christian women whose homes have been bombed by Russians are actively caring for other refugees in Poland and sharing the gospel with them, according to eyewitness, Ian Kilpatrick, a musician and volunteer who recently delivered supplies to the border of Ukraine.

Sources inside the Ukrainian government have told Mike Evans, the founder of the Jerusalem Prayer Team, to expect a massive bombing from the Russian military within the next seven days.

Chuck Pierce, who has a strong track record in prophetic ministry, predicted years ago that China would become a world menace. Pierce now has very disturbing news about the future of the United States as we know it. Pierce has written several books on prophecy, including The Passover Prophecies (Charisma House 2020), Releasing the Prophetic

Controversy has swarmed around Roger Stone since the time of Nixon’s presidency. Google “Roger Stone,” and not one positive story appears in the results. In 2016, as a Democratic Congress tried to find impeachable offenses against President Trump, he claims federal prosecutors pressured him and courts violated his constitutional rights in order to get him

“History began when humans invented gods, and will end when humans become gods.” I didn’t borrow this quote from a dystopian novel about the future or from an end-times movie. Clay Clark, founder of the ReAwaken America Tour, used this quote because it’s the main headline on Yuval Noah Harari’s website. According to Clark, Barack

A well-known Pentecostal pastor announced on Ukrainian national television that his adopted daughter was killed in her apartment by a Russian tank. Pastor Gennadiy Mokhnenko opened his interview by saying, “I’m sorry. I’m not very able to say something intelligible today because a few hours ago I was informed that one of my daughters was

While the world is focused on the war in Ukraine, I look for ways to provide eyewitness reports for Charisma readers. So, when I got a text a few days ago from my longtime friend Mike Evans, who had just returned from Ukraine, I asked to interview him for a recent episode of my Strang

The Charismatic Renewal emphasizes a renewal of gifts and miracles in our generation, unlike those who say they ceased after the early church. But if you study history, there were many of each in the church throughout the centuries. There is no better example than that of Patrick of Ireland, whose holiday we celebrate every

The reason I wrote my new book God and Cancel Culture is not because Donald Trump was canceled from Twitter or Mike Lindell had his MyPillow canceled in a couple dozen retail outlets. I think that’s a disturbing trend. I wrote it because I believe the ultimate goal for the far-Left socialist cancel culture crowd
