A Ministry Of Discernment
The Lord Jesus Christ prophetically warned in Matthew 24 of a time of global deception and degeneration that would occur before His return. Along with today’s explosive rise of geopolitical violence, hatred and global pandemic has come a floodtide of abusive spirituality in the forms of cultism and aberrant churches.
The days Christ foretold are now upon us.
Spiritwatch Ministries is a response to His command to “take heed that no man deceive you.” Deception can only be countered by discernment. We provide balanced Biblical insight and response to the many forms of deceptive cultism and culture in our fallen world, as well as practical personal assistance from an Evangelical Christian perspective.
We aid those struggling in the shadows of abusive spirituality and extremism that have engulfed them and we’ve helped thousands around the world out of many a human darkness.Where there is life, there is always hope.

Conferences & Teaching
Since 1993, Spiritwatch Ministries has provided solid, engaging Biblical insight into deceptive cultism and religious abuse via church based education forums ranging from Bible studies to conferences. We are working to make select conference teaching audio and video online through this site and our Vimeo and YouTube channels. Our “Where Are We Going” podcasts and Spiritwatch Unchained blogging are outlets for these Scriptural insights as well.
Discernment By Research
To enable factually objective perspective on any questionable teaching or movement, we exhaustively pursue first hand research into their truth claims for our no-nonsense articles and counseling based on primary sources we archive .. not rumors and half-truths. Testimonials and painstaking study to expose and verify them are the backbone of sound and legitimate discernment. It’s all free .. available by download on this site and in our blog, Facebook page and video channels.
Counseling & Interventions
We don’t just talk and write about cultic deception. We do something about it. We bring light to the darkness by confidential pastoral counsel, intercessory prayer and non-coercive intervention services for those affected by this social ill. Our passionate commitment to help others stems from our willingness to take heed of deception and bring hope to those struggling to be free of it.

“I got a bunch of stuff from you today–thanks. I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your ministry on line. You mentioned that you were not a pastor yet but were hoping to someday.
Well, you are serving me and probably a host of other people without the official title of minister; however, you are truly putting Matthew 10:42 into action in the lives of many weary, unhealthy, and sometimes unwanted sheep of the Master’s fold. Many thanks.”
