Radical Faith, Violent Fruit: The Cost of Dominionist Theology - Jed Hartley

John and Jed discuss the convergence of various troubling trends they've been researching. They explore how New Apostolic Reformation figures, such as Lance Wallnau, use fabricated credentials and cut corners to achieve influence in spheres of power, rather than through genuine education or merit. They examine how dominionist theology supports this behavior by framing believers as already chosen and anointed to rule, which discourages self-examination or moral accountability. The conversation highlights how violent rhetoric in these circles spills into real-world consequences, including political violence, while leaders deflect responsibility by cloaking such rhetoric as spiritual metaphor.

The discussion further analyzes how leaders validate each other in a web of mutual reinforcement, making it difficult for followers to question or leave these movements without dismantling their entire belief framework. They reflect on the emotional, relational, and moral challenges of walking away from such tightly controlled systems. John and Jed emphasize that without genuine moral character and accountability, these movements serve as financial and political power structures rather than communities of faith. They conclude by hoping their dialogue helps others find the courage to leave unhealthy systems.
