What is New Apostolic Reformation?
Discerning Faith in a Changing Christian Landscape
What happens when spiritual movements gain influence faster than discernment keeps pace?
In this episode of Honest Christian Conversations, I kick off the new season by sitting down with Amelia Walden to examine the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) and its growing impact on modern Christianity. Together, we explore how certain teachings, language, and practices can subtly reshape faith—and why biblical discernment matters now more than ever.
This conversation isn’t about fear-mongering or drawing hard lines. It’s about slowing down, asking honest questions, and returning to Scripture as our foundation. Amelia shares her personal journey through NAR-influenced spaces and reflects on the importance of examining spiritual experiences, worship language, and leadership claims in light of God’s Word.
Throughout the episode, we wrestle with questions many believers are already asking:
• How do we discern truth without becoming divisive?
• Where is the line between spiritual freedom and spiritual excess?
• How do personal conviction, worship, and Scripture work together in a healthy faith life?
This episode invites listeners to stay engaged, grounded, and curious—anchored not in trends or personalities, but in a growing relationship with Christ and a deep commitment to biblical truth.

Ana is the host of the Honest Christian Conversations podcast and a prodigal saved by God’s unending grace.
She grew up in a legalistic Christian home where asking questions often felt wrong. In her early twenties, overwhelmed by confusion and hurt, she walked away from her faith. Yet even then, God’s love never stopped pursuing her. At thirty years old—and after a painful second divorce—He brought her back to himself, and she has never looked back.
As Ana returned to Christ, she began rebuilding her faith from the ground up and asked the questions she once feared to ask. Along that journey, she discovered inconsistencies, misplaced teachings, and even lies woven into the Christianity she grew up with. Instead of destroying her faith, this only deepened it. Out of that discovery, she founded Honest Christian Conversations. Ana's heart is to help others navigate the same tension she once lived with: wanting to know the real Jesus while sorting through the noise of deceptive teachings, spiritual manipulation, and “wolves in sheep’s clothing.”
Everything she creates flows from gratitude for the God who rescued her, restored her, and continues to shape her into who He intended her to be.
