Although Charisma Mag broke the story with their (excellent) reporting, discernment proves to trump faux-prophecy every time. We first warned you about John Crist a little less than a year ago and cautioned Christians about following his ‘humor ministry.’ When worship songstress, Lauren Daigle, found herself unable to state whether or not homosexuality was a … Read more
