Summary

Several years ago, Andrew and Kalley Heiligenthal asked the members of their church, Bethel in Redding, California, to pray for resurrection after their two-year old daughter Olive died suddenly. The hashtag #wakeupolive was shared thousands of times on social media. After the unsuccessful attempt to raise Olive from the dead, many Christians began wondering what type of theology was really being taught at Bethel. “How to Raise the Dead” is a book by Bethel alum Tyler Johnson. The book claims that every Christian should be performing miracles, raising the dead, and achieving immortality. The book has been sold in the Bethel book store, and lays a theological framework in which the author claims every Christian can harness resurrection power. Alisa read the book and offers her analysis and review on today’s episode.------------------------------------------------------------------This video is sponsored by:GOOD RANCHERSSubscribe to any Good Ranchers box and you can choose a free add-on for the next year!Free in every box for 1 year: Boneless Chicken Breasts or Angus Ground Beef or Applewood Smoked Bacon Or Wild-Caught SalmonPlus, with my special code, ALISA, you’ll get an additional $25 off your first box and free express shipping.Go to www.goodranchers.com/alisa for more information.SEVEN WEEKS COFFEETaste the Coffee that is Saving Lives.Use the code, ALISA, to get 10% off, plus Subscribe and save and extra 15% and get a free “Drink Coffee, Save Lives” tote on your order.Will you join us by drinking more coffee so we can save more lives?

0:00.0	Welcome to the Elisa Childers Podcast, where we equip Christians to identify the core beliefs of historic
0:13.9	Christianity, discern its counterfeits and proclaim the gospel with
0:17.3	clarity, kindness, and truth, and today's episode is part one in a two-part series
0:21.8	about a particular theology that has come across my radar that I am really
0:27.0	concerned about. It's something that's growing in the church and it's based on a very particular
0:31.4	way of interpreting the Bible. So a lot of this type of theology
0:35.7	is coming out of the new Apostolic Reformation affiliated with Bethel and
0:40.0	Pastor Bill Johnson, but there's always there's also a bit of overlap with
0:44.0	progressive Christianity so I've just read a book called How to Raise the Dead by
0:47.5	Tyler Johnson going to be reviewing that book today which claims to teach every Christian how to literally raise dead bodies back to life.
0:56.8	And then in next week's episode, I'm interviewing a woman who actually had one of these dead
1:01.5	raising teams come to the hospital to try to raise her brother back to life after he died in an unexpected accident.
1:10.0	And the point of these two podcasts is number one to inform you about this theology,
1:15.9	talk about it from a biblical perspective, but also to demonstrate how bad theology hurts people.
1:21.2	We've said that a lot on this podcast.
1:23.0	I didn't come up with that.
1:24.3	That's been said by many other people smarter than me.
1:27.6	But bad theology hurts people.
1:29.6	And bad theology has victims.
1:31.0	So we're gonna talk to someone who really whose life was really
1:35.6	messed with because of this bad theology. So with that said I'm going to get
1:39.7	right into the book. So the book is called How to Raise the Dead by
