Picture this: a coliseum filled with crazy people whipped into a frenzy, arms flailing like windmills in a gale, eyes rolled back as if caught in a trance. The preacher, slick and telegenic, lays a hand on someone’s forehead, mutters a few words, and then—bam! Down...
In 2021, The Dissenter reported that Grace Semler Baldridge–who goes by the stage name, Semler–had topped Lauren Daigle for the number one spot on the Christian music charts on iTunes. Baldridge was also nominated by GLAAD for the 2020 Award for...
A few weeks ago, we reported that Contemporary Christian Worship celebrity and lead guitarist in the "Christian" band, Caedmon's Call, Derek Webb, who defected from the faith a few years ago and came out in full support of sodomy, decided to gather with two other...
Barcelona, how you've outdone yourself! In a display of unparalleled originality, an artist has taken it upon themselves to blasphemously depict the paragon of fast-food commercialism, Ronald McDonald on a crucifix in the city’s Museum of Forbidden Art. And what...
The antics of Florida Southern Baptist megachurch, Church by the Glades, have reached a level of circus-like absurdity that calls into question the very essence of a religious sanctuary. Led by David Hughes, this circus has become more synonymous with grandiose...
Mike Bickle, founder and CEO of the International House of Prayer in Kansas City (IHOPKC) has been accused of serious allegations of clergy sexual abuse spanning several decades. Bickle, a prominent figure in the charismatic movement, is known for his role in the...
The Church of England stands at the precipice of a theological abyss as it contemplates blessing same-sex unions, a stark deviation from the biblical truth it once held sacrosanct. A controversial document "Living in Love and Faith" is set to be debated in the...
Arianism. The ancient heresy that keeps coming back like an insidious weed in the theological garden of the Church. Rooted in the 4th century teachings of the arch-heretic, Arius, this toxic belief system thrives today in many forms, including in the theology of...
Earlier today, I wrote an article expressing "cautious optimism" on the election of the new Republican Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson. Johnson, a Southern Baptist, is being heralded by many conservatives as "the most conservative" speaker in U.S. History. Upon...
The election of Representative Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House is a remarkably surprising turn of events considering the tumultuous political scenario. On October 25, 2023, the House elected Johnson in a 220 to 209 vote, a conservative Southern Baptist, filling a...
In the realm of charismatic Christian ministry, Shawn Bolz is a name that often comes adorned with an aura of divine insight. He claims a direct line to God and a prophetic vision that unveils the formerly unrevealed. His proclaimed ability to peer into the mysteries...
In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve committed a glaring offense against their Maker. Yet, in a twist of irony, they sought to hide from His all-seeing gaze by using the very elements of the world He so generously gifted them with. Since then, not much has changed. So,...
The Unitarian Universalist Congregations (UUC) is the epitome of religious vagueness. A place where any belief is welcome, except, of course, the notion that absolute truth exists and that it can only be found in the one, true God's revelation to us. They'll claim...
In the Show-Me State of Missouri, a place known for its straight-shooting politics and no-nonsense approach, Republican Senator Mike Moon has been pushing the envelope—way beyond what many so-called "pro-life" organizations are willing to do. Back in May, Moon...
Oh yes, the Asbury Revival of 2023—remember that? Just a few months ago, it was the talk of the town—at least, it was the talk of "Christian Twitter." If you scrolled through social media, you'd think the next Great Awakening was happening at Asbury University in...

If you've followed The Dissenter for any amount of time, you may remember in 2019 when I wrote that the fire at the Notre Dame Cathedral was not the tragic loss that many claimed it to be. Instead, I argued that it was a fitting symbol of the Roman Catholic Church's...
If you don’t think the world has gone mad, just look at Ireland and view the clip at the bottom of this article. Ireland is only a few years ahead of the rest of the Western world, but mark my words, it won’t be long. In a stunning display of state-sanctioned...
If you’ve never heard of her, self-proclaimed “Prophetess” Katie Souza is the ringleader of her own spiritual sideshow, where she’s carved out a niche in the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR). The NAR is a movement that has nothing to do with the gospel and is more...
Meet Keith McQueen, a self-styled "bishop" who seems to think that his platform at Powerhouse Church is a stage for profound biblical illiteracy rather than for the preaching of the truth and the exhortation of obeying God’s word. If there were a trophy for most...
