Title
Why Bethel Is Not Defensible: A Biblical Examination of NAR Teaching and Practice
Show Summary
In this episode of From NAR to Christ with Dawn Hill, we examine whether Bethel Church and its
broader New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) influence can be biblically defended in light of doctrine, prophetic
methodology, and spiritual practices. Rather than reacting to a single headline, we look at the cumulative pattern
of teaching and practice and evaluate it through the lens of Scripture.
