What is the connection between Vatican II and the New Age Movement? Tonights guest is Christian J. Pinto, director and producer of American Jesuits: A History of Jesuitism in the United States. We draw on his expertise in research about the Jesuit order to determine why Jesuit author Teilhard de Chardin was known as the “Father of the New Age”. How did his alleged involvement with the “missing link” hoax in 1912 (known as The Piltdown Man) relate to the overarching agenda to connect science ...

Tonight we are talking about the doctrines of demons behind agendas which are being pushed forward by the New Age Movement and the inter-dimensional Alien narrative. We see ancient deceptions infiltrating peoples minds and worldview as they become convinced that humanity wasn’t created by the God of the Bible, but instead we were 'seeded on the earth' by an advanced group of highly evolved beings. However, as we dig into where these ideas originate, and its influences in the modern new age movem...

Tonight we speak to Dr Anthony Harper, who is a journalist and writer for InterMountain Christian News in Idaho. Dr Harper sometimes appears at the White House press conferences to ask questions from a Biblical perspective. In this episode I ask him what his thoughts are on the recent comments made by President Donald Trump, which stated that the “Alien files” or disclosure of what the US Department of War knows about extraterrestrials, UAPS or UFOS, should be released to the public. Our podcast...

Tonight we get an inside look in Taiwan. Our guest is Joshua, an English Teacher who moved from North Carolina, USA, to the island. In this episode we ask Joshua what he can see unfolding in Taiwan, China’s recent military drills and how it affects local people, Trumps recent incursion into Venezuela, and other world events of 2026. We also discuss the importance of faith in the midst of those trials and hardship. If you want to listen to more RISE Radio Podcast episodes and are interested in Bi...

Tonight we look at how fast the world is changing, with RISE Radio callers from California, Utah and Germany. But in the midst of these times, there remains one steadfast anchor.

Tonight we speak to Cameron from Edinburgh, Scotland, who joins us to discuss the polarisation of society. Cameron was once involved with the online truth movement, but began to grow concerned when he realised the solutions that were being offered to world problems, was Gnostic / Theosophy. This made him feel disillusioned after years of listening to David Icke and others. When Cameron found Jesus Christ of the Bible, he began to see through this deception, and now warns us today of the current ...

Tonight we speak to Joseph from Maine, USA, who recently shared his story in front of hundreds of people. He was saved out of a false light, which promised him satisfaction, yet was totally empty. Joseph encourages listeners to be discerning about deceptive influences which claim to be truth. In this world today there are many who are unknowingly chasing after counterfeit messages which bring false hope. You can listen to the full message of Joseph’s testimony here: https://youtu.be/O09b6emfZkQ?...

Tonight we speak with Stephen Montgomery, author of ‘The Converging Apostasy’. In this episode I ask him about the danger of ecumenicism, where it may be leading and the greater impacts of mysticism on the New Apostolic Reformation. We look at Gnosticism from the second century and trace it to the Latter Rain Movement and the potential impact if hard right politics, disciples of Alice Bailey and the NARs ‘sacred purge’ teaching, grew closer together and found some common ground. -------- St...

This week we visited the London Freedom of Speech march, which became focused on recent incident involving Charlie Kirk. At the event I approached several protestors to get a feel for where people are at. We also had the opportunity to go backstage and ask some of the main influencers their perspectives on what’s happening in our society today and why. In this episode, we interviewed: - Dan Wootton (GBNews, News of the World, Outspoken) - Tommy Robinson (British Activist) - Saargon of Akkad (Car...

Tonight we speak to Dr. Bradley Maston (PhD) who is a pastor, radio speaker and author, and wrote a thesis on pseudepigrapha and Angelology. Dr Mastons book can be found here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Angels-Pseudepigrapha-Pseudepigraphic-Angelology-Biblically/dp/1947022091 There are many today who are looking for truth but end up in cults. How can we properly understand the Biblical worldview and narrative? One way is to look at the cultural context in which it was written. Bradley takes us thr...

Tonight we interview Rick Thomas from LifeOverCoffee. Rick is a Biblical counsellor and speaker who has been featured on Wretched Radio, and recently wrote an article about Jordan Peterson and the "Neo-Conservative" Movement. This article is entitled, Jordan Peterson Fatigue: When the Desert Well Turns Brackish "Jordan Peterson arrived on the scene during the cultural dusk of pre-woke chaos, when many of us were grasping for truth in a landscape flooded with censorship, self-worship, and secular...

On tonight’s show we are looking at the False Goddess / Divine Feminine figure and the ways this doctrine of demons impacts society. This is the second part of our series on Gnosticism. In the episode we discuss the rise of the idea of “Mother Earth”, the false light, so-called ‘liberation’ from the Matrix, the false goddess Sophia (wisdom) and where these ideas come from. The song featured in this episode is released later this month and called “Sleeping” by SHAPES AND SHADOWS. I will be featu...

Tonight we speak with Orthodox Jewish Journalist, Adam Berkowitz, from the Golan Heights in Israel. Adam is a reporter for Israel365 News and deeply involved with the niche group of Temple advocates who are actively trying to lead the way to build a Third Temple in Jerusalem. I ask Adam about a possible “Peace Deal” under Donald Trump, what that could mean and his hope for the future of a rebuilt Temple. Above all, my desire for the interview is to plant seeds of truth for the Gospel. John 3:16-...

Dan was on a journey of discovery. This led him through many different ideas, philosophies and conspiracies until it finally all made sense. He found the answer he had always been looking for. Join us as we discuss Dan’s story and the powerful lessons he learned along the way. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! - Matthew 6:23b Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but sh...

Tonight we speak with Pastor Michael Nissim from Nahariyya, Israel. We have previously interviewed Michael about his work exposing the NAR. Recently, his focus has been on the influx of “Self Love” and the Religion of “Self Worship” which is prevalent not only in our society today - but also in some conservative churches. ‘For men shall be lovers of their own selves..’ - 2 Timothy 3:2 In this episode we cover: - Todays generation fuelled by Selfies - Subtle forms of self elevation / humanism cre...

A lot of ground is covered in this episode and I must say it’s refreshing to hear a theological academic give his perspecti...

Tonight we speak with Tony Pearce, Pastor from The Bridge Christian Fellowship in London, who gives a regular end times prophecy talk to viewers online from across the world.
