Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. (1 Timothy 6:12)
Helmed by our Captain, Pastor Chris Rosebrough, Fighting for the Faith is the program that has been dishing up your daily dose of Biblical discernment since 2008. The goal has always been to help you think biblically, help you think critically, and help you to slow down, stop, and open up your Bible and compare what people are saying in the Name of God to the Word of God.
A recent documentary series has been shining a light on the deep rooted issues of the Hillsong megachurch empire. Evangelicals are beginning to distance themselves from Hillsong, but it shouldn't have taken this long. The theological problems that gave rise to the movement are still entrenched wi...
Michael Todd has received a lot of criticism recently for getting too vivid with a sermon illustration and actually rubbing his spit on the face of a church volunteer. But this is not the worst part. What's worse was the tragic twisting of God's Word that defined this "sermon" at Transformation C...
God is once again granting Todd White an opportunity for repentance by allowing him to be afflicted with a severe heart condition. Todd recently informed his followers of the news, yet he sadly doesn’t see how this exposes his false teachings. Todd teaches that it’s always God’s will to heal and ...
Word of Faith preacher, David Crank, teaches his audience to deny reality. The teaching goes like this: If you are old and declining, don't admit it, but make a positive confession that you are young and healthy and attractive. This is obviously absent from the pages of Scripture but that doesn't...
American Evangelicalism is awash in the doctrine of individual purpose. It's the idea that God has a unique purpose for your life that only you can fulfill and that He is waiting on you to discover what it is. This self centered theology is a burden that God never intended us to bear. Chris Roseb...
The faith of everyday Christians is being undermined by constant, targeted attacks against the authenticity, veracity and sufficiency of the scriptures. Hence, "Did God really say?" (Genesis 3).
The ‘Did God Really Say?’ conference is the brainchild of a partnership between:
No! Apologies in Au...
Kevin Zadai is not content with God's Word and the glorious Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. He must go beyond what is written to teach for shameful gain that which he ought not to teach. His claims of a "Jesus Encounter" are phony on the surface. Christian ministers are only authorized to teach ...
Todd White's co-pastor William Hinn shares a theology with White of sinless perfectionism. In this episode of Fighting for the Faith, Pastor Chris breaks down the sophisticated Scripture twisting techniques that William Hinn uses to teach that Christians are without sin...at least the glow in the...
Is doctrinal diversity a good thing? Bethel Redding leaders think so. In this episode of Fighting for the Faith, Pastor Chris refutes the notion that it's a good to have a Catholic priest and a Baptist evangelist both preach at your church. The Church is diverse in ethnicity and culture but it is...
Jeremiah was sent by God to pronounce judgment upon Judah and to offer a way of escape for those who would listen. But at every step, Jeremiah found himself at odds with the popular false prophets who promised peace and prosperity for Jerusalem. It's easy to see why they were popular. In the same...
A false Christ isn't simply one who claims to be the one and only Saviour of the world, but can also be one who comes claiming for themself a special anointing from God and a corresponding authority to speak and act on God's behalf. Christ means "anointed one" and the visible church is full of pe...
Bethel Redding leaders recently released a series of videos titled "Rediscovering Bethel" in which they respond to many valid criticisms concerning their theology. Chris Rosebrough begins his own series responding to Bethel, since the only thing being clarified is that Bethel leaders do indeed be...
Many popular teachers today would have you think that God looks down on His people praying for little things. Jenzen Franklin is one such megachurch leader that scorns "get by prayers" and "prayers for daily bread". Is God looking for audacious and brash prayers for success, wealth, and glory, or...
Jesus taught His disciples not to pray like the pagans by heaping up many words just to pray longer. But some believe this would also apply to repeating the Lord's prayer daily. Wouldn't it just become vain repetition and lose it's meaning if you do it every day? Chris Rosebrough looks at Matthew...
Todd White claims the cross of Christ shows us how special and valuable we are since God gave His Son to purchase us, but the Bible doesn't present the cross in this way. Christ died for our sins, not because of our intrinsic value, but because Yahweh is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger,...
Some within the Charismatic Movement have been experimenting with mysticism in order to experience God. Only a select group of special leaders do “enough” to earn these experiences. David Edwards is one such leader who claims to burn with desire for these mystical phenomena. Pastor Chris Rosebro...
There is a new Bible growing in popularity which is marketed as a legitimate translation but really isn’t. The Passion Translation by self appointed Apostle, Brian Simmons, is a horrible paraphrase masquerading as a novel translation. Claiming to have traveled to Heaven and to have received speci...
In 2 Timothy 3:5, Paul describes a people who have a "form of godliness but denying its power..." Bill Johnson uses this verse to label anyone who is discerning about the supernatural encounters or manifestations that are often experienced at Bethel Church, as having an "antichrist spirit." Chris...
Some believe that in order to faithfully witness to the lost, we need to share our personal testimony of life-change. But the Gospel is not OUR story but HIS story. It's about His life, death, and resurrection. Our lives definitely change when we repent and believe the Gospel, but whatever fruit ...
Dr. Michael Brown led a group of Charismatic leaders and New Apostolic Reformation prophets in developing a statement on their theology of the gift of prophecy. The statement ignores some extremely important issues and clear passages of Scripture. Chris Rosebrough and Phil Johnson discuss these p...
Pastor Chris Rosebrough teams up with Steve Kozar and Amy Spreeman to tackle dangerous doctrines that have harmed Christians for decades in Evangelicalism such as the "Dream Destiny" doctrine and the "Purpose Driven Life".

Pastor Rosebrough reviews a popular teaching of Andrew Wommack about becoming a water walker. Wommack says it’s not about literal walking on the water but living a life of miracles.
