Didaché - You Will Not Believe The Latest Charismatic Scam From Ron Carpenter

In this episode, Justin Peters exposes a shocking new scam from prosperity preacher Ron Carpenter. Carpenter is releasing an app that allows users to "talk" to him and receive prayers via an AI chatbot that mimics his voice. For $49, users can feel like they carry their personal pastor in their pocket.

Peters lambasts the idea that a "mindless, soulless computer program" could offer genuine prayer or spiritual care. He argues that the real Ron Carpenter doesn't care about his followers, only their money - a hallmark of false teachers, according to the Bible.

Peters ties this into the broader problem of false teachers in the charismatic movement, noting that they are God's judgment on those who refuse to endure sound doctrine. He calls on Carpenter to repent, admit his lies and exploitation and put his trust in the true Christ.

About the Podcast

Didaché
Didaché is dedicated to deepening our love for God through deepening our knowledge of God.
Didaché is the Greek word for teaching or doctrine. All Christians profess to love Jesus but few seem to have a passion for doctrine and theology. The Didaché podcast is dedicated to teaching sound doctrine and theology for it is by this that our knowledge of God is deepened which, in turn, enables our love for God to be deepened. The Bible says, "And this I pray, that your love would abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment" (Philippians 1:9).

This podcast will discuss doctrine, theology, hermeneutics, and how to apply all of these disciplines so that we can live lives obedient to God's word and for His glory. We will see how, far from being boring, there is nothing more exciting and practical for the Christian than to both know and apply sound doctrine. Most of the programs will simply be straight teaching from Justin but from time to time he will also interview special guests on the program, deal with current theological issues as they arise, and will dedicate some time to answering your questions that you send in. This podcast will not have all of the bells and whistles of some of the others, but what it lacks in sound effects we trust will be made up in content.
