Bethel Music and Bethel Church have become global phenomena—shaping much of modern worship culture. In this episode, Daniel tests Bethel’s claims and practices by Scripture: the Toronto Blessing roots, Bill Johnson’s influence, the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry, emotionalism, false prophecy, and a deficient Christology. With an open Bible, he calls believers to discernment, love, and faithfulness to Christ.
