Post-Charismatic

"Our weekly Charismatics Anonymous meeting is about to begin. Join me, won't you?"

It's like we're caught between a rock and a hard place.

We're "continuationists." We believe all the gifts of the Holy Spirit are alive and well and essential for today. But we've also been burned by unbiblical teachings, spiritual abuse, and the gaslighting subculture of pneuma-fomo (fear of missing out on the next great move of the Spirit).

We yearn for the Spirit's presence and power in our lives. We don't want to "throw the baby out with the bathwater," but the water's teeming with spiteful pathogens. It's time to roll up our sleeves and take responsibility for disinfecting the tub. Toxic beliefs have produced spiritual casualties among Pentecostals and charismatics for far too long.

Our Kairos moment has arrived. Let's hone the charismata of discernment.

Robby McAlpine writes with a positive and constructive voice. For burned-out and hurt former charismatics, Post-Charismatic leads the way forward toward a mature and sane re-engagement with the person and work of the Holy Spirit. Post-Charismatic is not post-Holy Spirit, it is a call for post-weirdness.
