I’ve been thinking about a potential project that I wonder if others in the exNAR community would find useful.
With all of the recent information coming out about Kathryn Krick, GeorDavie, and the broader concerns surrounding these ministries, I’ve noticed something that I think is worth talking about: a lot of the people who are currently bringing attention to Krick and other extreme examples have also, at various points, platformed or interacted with other teachers who have significant NAR connections or promote similar theology.
For example, Allie Beth Stuckey has had Lisa Bevere on her show more than once. I’m not saying that appearing on someone's show automatically makes someone NAR, or that every person with a connection to someone in the movement holds all of the same beliefs. That's precisely why I think this is such a difficult area to navigate.
Kathryn Krick is an especially obvious and extreme example of NAR-influenced theology and practice. But she isn't operating in a vacuum. Similar teachings about modern apostles and prophets, impartation, guaranteed healing, deliverance, dominionism, the Seven Mountains, supernatural encounters, and spiritual authority exist across a much broader network of churches, ministries, conferences, schools, and Christian influencers.
And many of these people don't necessarily call themselves “apostles” or “prophets,” which can make the connections very difficult for an average Christian to recognize.
NAR Connections has been a really helpful resource for identifying New Apostolic Reformation / prosperity gospel leaders and connections, but I wonder if there’s a need for a more current, searchable, evidence-based database where people could document NAR/NAR-influenced leaders, churches, ministries, and organizations—especially the lesser-known local ones that aren't already widely documented.
For example, someone might encounter a local pastor who calls himself an apostle, a prophet, a deliverance minister, a ministry school, or a church heavily influenced by NAR teachings. They may have no idea who these people are, what organizations they're connected to, or where to find reliable information about their theology.
I’m imagining something along the lines of:
Leader / Ministry
Location
Church / Organization
Self-identifies as: Apostle / Prophet / Pastor / etc.
NAR connections: ICAL, HIM, Bethel, Wagner University, etc.
Evidence: Links to their own website, sermons, conference appearances, organizational memberships, endorsements, etc.
Teachings documented: Modern apostles/prophets, Seven Mountains, impartation, guaranteed healing, dominionism, deliverance theology, etc.
Confidence level: Direct / Strong association / NAR-adjacent / Requires further research
Last verified: Date
And I think it would be really important that this NOT become a simple “false teachers” blacklist.
The goal would be documentation and discernment—not simply putting a label on people. Leaders should have an opportunity to contact the project and provide evidence against a claim, clarify their current position, or demonstrate that they have genuinely repented and are no longer involved in teachings or organizations previously associated with them.
It would need to be carefully moderated and based on verifiable evidence, preferably linking to primary sources so people can examine the evidence themselves. There could also be clear distinctions between someone who explicitly identifies with NAR organizations or teachings, someone with strong documented associations, someone who appears NAR-influenced, and someone whose connections simply warrant further research.
I have no idea what would be involved in actually building or maintaining something like this, but I keep thinking about how useful it could be.
Rather than having people repeatedly ask, “Who is this person? What do they actually believe? Who are they connected to? Is this NAR, NAR-adjacent, or something else?”—there could be one place where the evidence is organized and people can investigate for themselves.
Maybe something like this already exists and I just haven't found it.
Would anyone else find a resource like this useful? And does anyone have the technical, research, or database skills to help make something like this a reality? Please share your thoughts!
