Welcome to the Eric Metaxis show with your host, Eric Mettaxas.

Hey there, folks. This is our two, technically, but who cares? It's just the continuance of a continuation,

rather, of my conversation with Chris Reed, who's been chosen as the, to succeed,

to succeed Rick Joyner at Morning Star Ministries. Let me ask you, Chris, for folks

that don't know anything about Morning Star, what is Morning Star Ministries?

Morning Star Ministries was founded by Rick Joyner and his wife, Julie, back in the early 80s,

and it started off as a publication. And then over time, Rick began to write some books. You know, the final quest was probably his most

popular, two trees in the garden. Final Quest was like one of the top sellers in the modern era.

And it was prophetic. It was all a compiled set of dreams that is just a fantastic, incredible picture of, in fact,

the times that we are living in right now.

And so they ultimately assumed this property here in Fort Mill, South Carolina,

that was built back in the 80s by Jim Baker. And of course, they Morning Star and Rick Joyner

purchased the property here back, I believe it was in 2004. And Morning Star has been on the

cusp. I mean, they've been one of the most, I mean, one of the leading prophetic voices

in the broader charismatic movement.

And Rick is really a man of integrity.

He is without a doubt to me a prophet.

And he is an incredible author.

I'm actually here now. This fall I'm going to be doing a school of

the prophets. And so, of course, we have a Bible college here, a K through 12, just a lot of

awesome things going on here. And it's just a great place to be. People have moved here from

all over the nation in different parts of the world
