In this four-part DVD series, Steve Wohlberg and guest Dave Fiedler take a clear, Bible-centered look at the rapidly growing emerging church movement. While its teachings often feel fresh, exciting, and deeply spiritual, a closer examination reveals that many of its practices are rooted in mysticism and inter-spiritual philosophies far removed from Scripture.
Blending Christian terms with techniques borrowed from Eastern religions, the movement promotes spiritual experiences that bypass the mind and subtly open the door to deception. This series helps viewers recognize the difference between genuine biblical spirituality and counterfeits that mix truth with error.
You’ll learn why emerging church principles often emphasize:
• Experiencing God through the senses
• Spiritual exercises and mystical disciplines
• Contemplative prayer and meditative silence
• Teachings from ancient mystics and non-biblical traditions
Each program tackles a major component of the movement:
Program 1 — The Emerging Church on the Move
A foundational overview of the movement’s teachings and trends. Scripture warnings such as 1 Timothy 4:1 and 2 Timothy 4:3 reveal how deception enters the church when sound doctrine is neglected.
Program 2 — The Mystery Babylon Factor
Shows how emerging-church ideas connect with the prophetic warnings about spiritual confusion in Revelation. Viewers learn how to identify these elements if they begin appearing in their own congregations.
Program 3 — The Return of Ancient Mysticism
Explores how mystical practices have returned to Christianity through charismatic and ecumenical influences. The presentation opens and closes with Scripture to help viewers discern truth from counterfeit spiritual experience.
Program 4 — Embrace the Light
Examines the heart of the issue: the danger of spiritual experiences that remove dependence on God and lead toward self-exaltation—the same lie preached in Eden. The path from counterfeit spirituality to suffering and spiritual danger is made unmistakably clear.
Clear, biblical, and deeply relevant for today, this DVD set equips viewers to recognize deceptive spirituality, stay anchored in God’s Word, and avoid the trap that millions are unknowingly stepping into.
