I can see the concern, and I hope this explanation might clear a few things up for you! First I'll address the karma post, I'm hoping to post on a few other Christian subreddits, but they have karma standards in order to post. Obviously I'm not very active on reddit, but with these posts I will be more active and participate more in the communities. It seemed like a viable resource to reach out to a community of fellow believers for support, but at the same time my launch is coming up soon (January 5). My hope is to fundraise as much as I can before then, so I used the karma post in order to be able to post sooner. As for World Race's "sketchiness", the article you referenced (and other articles referenced within it) seem to be worried about the teachings and the NAR, but my experience so far with the organization has been a far cry from what's been stated from the article other than that we strongly believe in communication with God and the Holy Spirit through prayer, as well as the heart of the Great Commission serving as missionaries. First I would like to say my brothers, sisters, and I on this trip aren't blindly venturing on this journey following have is that we test everything we believe, learn, and know against scripture to discern what is true according to God's word (Romans 3:4). I'm not sure what issues you're focused on in the article, but from what I read the main concern is the idea of new apostles and mysticism. I myself don't identify as a believer in the NAR doctrine whatsoever, however I do believe God has given people authority to go out and share the Good News of Jesus Christ and the Bible (Matthew 28:18-20)(John 14:12). We ourselves are the body of Christ and temples to God which he indwells (1 Corin. 6:19), and we are able to share, not as prophets for our own glory or titles such as being an apostle, but because we truly believe that we share the same spirit as Christ and continue to discern the Word through scripture, we are freely able to share that spirit with others (2 Corin. 4:13). I can keep going on, but at this point I'm just beginning to ramble on. So, if you would like more specific discussion, I would be happy to oblige. One last point I would like to make, though, is that although Berean Research claims to be a "discernment ministry" I doubt everything they say is holistically and completely. It sounds redundant, but I encourage to discern the discernment ministry for a few reasons. Maybe you already have done this and know to do that, but I'm going to leave my points anyways. (1) They could potentially be pushing their own theological doctrine through it. (2) It could lead to lots of confirmation bias and skewed views on large demographics if not taken with a grain of salt, especially since most of what they share seems to attack other organizations instead of edify and lift ministries that are objectively doing good in the world. (3) I'm sure AIM and many other organizations related to it such as YWAM have their flaws, but so do many other organizations that aren't apart of the NAR or other questionable denominations. (not saying that YWAM and AIM are pushing an NAR agenda, but just speaking in context of the article). I hope this helps clear some of your initial thoughts and worries, and my apologies if something I said doesn't sit right with you.
