Trusted ministries exposing false teaching, defending biblical prophecy, and standing for the pre-tribulational, dispensational faith.
Lighthouse Trails Publishing was founded in 2002 with a singular focus: exposing the infiltration of contemplative spirituality, New Age mysticism, and the emerging church into evangelical Christianity. Their research project documents how Purpose Driven, Willow Creek, and spiritual formation movements have introduced practices and theology foreign to the biblical gospel. They published Dave Hunt — whose four-book collection is available through their store — making them a natural companion to the Dave Hunt resources already on this platform.
Their free research blog and newsletter track current developments in church apostasy, false teaching, and doctrinal drift. Their booklet series — over 100 titles — covers everything from Calvinism to contemplative prayer to Critical Race Theory, written accessibly for laypeople and pastors alike.
The Berean Call is Dave Hunt's legacy ministry — now led by T.A. McMahon — dedicated to biblical discernment, testing all teaching by Scripture, and defending the free-grace gospel against both Calvinist distortion and charismatic excess. Their monthly newsletter, extensive free article archive, and radio program have equipped hundreds of thousands of believers to think biblically about doctrine and practice.
The name comes from Acts 17:11 — the Bereans who received the word with all readiness and searched the Scriptures daily to verify what they heard. That posture of Scripture-first discernment is the foundation of this ministry and a model for every serious Bible student.
Jan Markell is the founder of Olive Tree Ministries and the host of Understanding the Times— one of the most widely listened-to Christian prophecy radio programs in America, carried on hundreds of stations. Her focus is biblical prophecy, Israel's covenantal significance, the pre-tribulational Rapture, and the signs of the approaching end times. She has interviewed virtually every major voice in the dispensational prophecy world over her decades of ministry.
Her annual Understanding the Times conference in Minneapolis draws thousands and features the leading pre-trib, pro-Israel voices in evangelical Christianity. Her free radio archive at olivetreeviews.org is one of the most comprehensive collections of dispensational prophecy teaching available.
Brannon Howse is the founder of Worldview Weekend and Worldview Weekend TV — a discernment and apologetics ministry dedicated to helping Christians think biblically about culture, theology, and current events. His work overlaps significantly with Lighthouse Trails and The Berean Call in exposing false teaching, mysticism, and the drift of evangelical Christianity away from biblical foundations.
His free content archive at worldviewweekend.com and his television network provide extensive teaching on Christian worldview, biblical prophecy, eschatology, and doctrinal discernment. He has worked closely with Jan Markell, Lighthouse Trails, and other discernment ministries.
John Ankerberg is the host of The John Ankerberg Show— one of the longest-running Christian apologetics programs on television — and the founder of the Ankerberg Theological Research Institute. His ministry is known for hosting formal debates between scholars on theological questions, making complex doctrinal issues accessible to lay audiences. He holds a pre-tribulational, premillennial position and has produced extensive teaching on biblical prophecy and eschatology.
His free article and resource archive at jashow.org is one of the most comprehensive apologetics databases available — covering Calvinism, Islam, the cults, prophecy, creation, and comparative religion. His debate series with scholars from opposing positions is a valuable resource for serious students wanting to understand the strongest arguments on each side.
Billy Crone is the Senior Pastor of Sunrise Bible Church in Las Vegas and the founder of Get A Life Ministries — one of the most prolific pre-tribulational, dispensational teaching ministries currently active. A former drug addict and heavy metal musician saved by grace, his testimony is a living demonstration of Thread 7 — the genuinely open invitation that reaches anyone who calls on the name of the Lord.
He is the author of over 60 books and has produced hundreds of hours of teaching on biblical prophecy, the pre-tribulation Rapture, the signs of the times, artificial intelligence and Bible prophecy, Israel, and the coming Tribulation. His teaching ministry reaches over 200 countries. He has produced a 17-hour DVD documentary series on the Rapture alone — the most comprehensive defense of the pre-tribulational position available in video format.
His free teaching archive at getalifemedia.com covers the full range of dispensational prophecy — Daniel, Revelation, the Rapture, the Antichrist, the Millennial Kingdom, and Israel's future. His YouTube channel carries the full video archive freely.
These ministries share a common commitment: the Bible is the final authority, the gospel is the substitutionary atonement of Christ received by faith, Israel and the Church are distinct peoples with distinct programs, and the pre-tribulational Rapture is the blessed hope of the Church. Discernment and prophecy are not separate concerns — a church that cannot identify false teaching will not be ready for the Lord's return.
