While the church has boosted the local economy, its growing influence in local government has raised concerns. Bethel Redding (Part 1) explores Bethel's theological position on Dominionism and the believer's authority in Christ. Is Bethel attempting to take control of Redding? How do their teachings about supernatural authority play out in practice?
