Concordia University Chicago, with Christ at the center, we stand tall for the church. I've heard a lot of things over the years coming out of the word faith movement

from my time in high school when I first became acquainted with this movement.

The claims by comparison to today

seem rather tame, false, but still rather tamely false, claims of if you simply believe hard enough

and confess for it, then God will bring you prosperity and health and wealth. Well, you kind of have to build on that a little bit.

And a lot of preachers have Jesse Duplanus.

Well, where is he at now?

He's now claiming, in the name of the same word faith teaching, that he has God's DNA

and that he has, in fact, created his own world with his positive confession.

Welcome back to Issues, Cedar. I'm Todd Wilkin. It's this week in Pop Christianity,

joining us today to talk about Jesse Duplantis claim. Pastor Chris Rosebro, Pastor of

Consfinger Lutheran Church in Oslo, Minnesota, and creator and host of the YouTube channel

Fighting for the Faith.
