On March 6, 2026, Francis Chan released a public apology titled "Tremble at His Words, Be Careful with Your Own." In it, he addresses his associations with leaders in the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), including Mike Bickle and IHOPKC. But does this apology truly address the root of the problem, or does it sidestep the real issues and dangers?
In this special audio-only episode of the podcast, Holly Pivec and Doug Geivett (joining from the Florida Everglades!) break down Chan’s letter and the accompanying statement from his network elders.
We dive deep into:
The "Integrity" Gap: Was Mike Bickle a man of integrity who "fell," or was the foundation flawed from the start?
"Fooled Hundreds of Times": Analyzing Chan’s admission of a lack of discernment and what that means for his role as a globally influential leader.
The Elder’s Defense: Why claiming "refutation" of NAR accusations is factually incorrect and misleading to the church.
The Prophetic Movement: Why a focus on character scandals ignores the deeper crisis of fallible prophecy and theological error.
A Call to Action: Will Chan ever give us the biblical criteria for evaluating prophets?
