Anti-intellectualism is a Discernment Killer!

In this video, I talk about the danger of anti-intellectualism, which can keep you from understanding your Bible and from living a vibrant Christian life. I also discuss the history of anti-intellectualism, and how it has led to several false movements and cults throughout Christian history. I also respond to some of the comments left under the videos of my current series that questions the concept of modern deliverance ministry from a biblical lens. ------------------------------------------------------------------ This video is sponsored by: A'DEL Elevate your skincare routine with A'del's toxin-free cosmetics.
