Jesus is King, and we magnify Him.
Berean Research is a resource to help Christians equip and keep themselves and their brothers and sisters from falling into deception. 2 Timothy 4:3-4 warns us of a time when people will not put up with sound doctrine, but will gravitate to a great number of teachers who’ll say what their itching ears want to hear. We believe this deception has never been greater than it is right now. That’s why sound doctrine is so important.
A warning about blogs:
You’ll notice our Home Page no longer lands on the news feed, but on our White Papers. That’s by design. We want you to know that spending too much time on news articles about false teachers can cloud your vision of the Good News of the Gospel, and can even take your eyes off of the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. May it never be! So don’t spend too much time on blogs. Instead, guard your heart with prayer and God’s steadfast promises in the Bible.
Who runs Berean Research?
Amy Spreeman
is a speaker and journalist, and founder/owner of Berean Research, Naomi’s Table Bible Studies for Women, and writes the Berean Examiner blog over at Pirate Christian Radio. She also co-hosts the weekly podcast, A Word Fitly Spoken, and is a contributing researcher for The American Gospel AGTV’s Spirit and Fire documentary series. She and her husband of 37 years are empty nesters and live in rural Wisconsin with their dog and some chickens.
Growing up in a pagan religion, Amy was fascinated with the cult craze of the ‘70s. After the Lord saved her in the late 1990s, she got caught up in the seeker-friendly church model and worked as a communications director for a large church. God graciously opened her eyes during that time, and she started researching movements within the visible church after learning firsthand how devastating those aberrant gospels can be.
In 2010, she helped launch and co-host a one-hour live Christian discernment radio program in Wisconsin called Stand Up for the Truth, reporting on trends and unbiblical movements happening in churches around the world.
Last year Amy made her third speaking appearance at the annual Answers In Genesis Women’s Conference. When she speaks at women’s conferences and retreats, she teaches them to trust in Scripture to discern between truth and error and points them to the Hope of Jesus Christ. Contact Amy at aspree @ protonmail.com (no spaces), to inquire about speaking at your next women’s event.
