Ep 71: Revisiting Apostles, Prophets, & Culture of Honor w/ Dr. Chris Anthony

Friday Feb 13, 2026

In this conversation, Luke Geraty and Dr. Chris Anthony delve into the themes of Danny Silk's "Culture of Honor," exploring its implications for church leadership, the fivefold ministry, and the current state of charismatic movements. They discuss the importance of mutual honor among church leaders, the need for safeguarding and accountability, and the influence of John Wimber and the Vineyard movement. The conversation emphasizes the necessity of nurturing a healthy church culture and the importance of remembering that the Church belongs to Jesus!

Dr. Chris Anthony's research interest centres on the interactions between Christian theology and history within the last 200 years - especially relating to revival movements. Methodologically, Chris used historical contextualisation in order critically evaluate various movements within their own setting and then use their own sources as dialogue partners with a view to establishing structural theologies. His heart is to see the church fulfill the great commission and see believers be who they are called to be. In practice this means being an elder within an independent evangelical church, with an emphasis on outreach.
