Pharaoh's magicians didn't fake it. Exodus 7 says they did the same thing Moses and Aaron did, "by their secret arts." So what does the Bible actually say is happening when magic works?
Nelly Van Sickle, pastor at Evergreen Calvary Chapel and creator of The Dancing Toaster Podcast joins us to explore where magic in the Bible actually comes from, starting in the ancient Near East with Egypt and Mesopotamia. Join us as we trace the history of magic and the authority we have in Christ to stand against it.
LIVE CHAT: Mon, August 17 at 4:00 p.m. CDT / UTC-5
A pastor pulls a college kid on stage, lays hands on him, tells him to "speak the holy language," and when nothing comes out, tells him his faith is weak. That's the true story that opens a recent Dial In Ministries episode on tongues. We're responding to their episode . . . and we agree with more of it than you'd expect.
Join us to hear where we agree and disagree on the exegesis, and why we land in a different place on whether the gift of tongues continues.
LIVE: Wed, August 19 at 4:00 p.m. CDT / UTC-5
Early Bird Deadline: TONIGHT!

Opens Wednesday! Fall 2026 Semester
Maybe you believe the gifts are for today but never had anyone walk you through them. Maybe you've seen the hype and chaos and wanted no part of it, but don't want to shut the whole thing down either. Or maybe you're just quietly asking, "Is this God or just me?"
That's who this course is for. Introduction to Spiritual Gifts is a 10-week discipleship intensive built on Scripture. 108 bite-sized video lessons, a live weekly Q&A with the Remnant hosts, and a weekly small group led by an experienced coach, where you step out in faith in a safe, accountable environment.
Early bird registration opens August 19 and runs through August 23 – use code FALL26PROMO for 20% off. Small group spots are limited and go fast, so if you want your preferred day and time this fall, mark your calendar for early bird registration.
