Hey guys, Joshua Lewis here with Remnant Radio, and I'll tell you about Rimcon this spring in San Diego, California.

The dates are February 5th through the 7th, and the subject of the conference is growing in the Gifts of the Spirit.

You can join us there in person or via live stream, and what you're going to get out of that conference is some serious theological training on the gifts of the Spirit.

But something that often clouds our desire to see these signs is because we have a desire

to belong that blinds us from these kinds of warning signs.

And this episode will walk through the four major red flags of high-controlled church cultures

so that you can discern whether what you're part of is a biblical community or something

that distorts the gospel and harms the people of God.

And if you're a pastor or leader watching this, this isn't just about what you say from the

pulpit.

Maybe you've never embraced these cult-like patterns yourself, but these ideas can still take root within your
