About Us

Chris Lawson

Missionary, Author/Speaker, and Director of SRN

Spiritual Research Network, LLC, is an independent Christian outreach committed first and foremost to the Lord Jesus Christ and the integrity of His Word. The Spiritual Research Network (SRN) outreach aims to help equip the Church, encourage biblical discernment, and evangelize the lost.

Feel free to contact me through my Spiritual Research Network website. I am happy to answer any questions you may have. For more information about my various websites and activities, please see the About Us page at SRN, my Audio and Video pages, and my Missions/Support website, LawsonChristopher.org.

DONATIONS to my research and work are sincerely appreciated. They help tremendously keep our websites online. Thank you very much for your contribution.

Why Buy These Resources?

The Chris Lawson SRN bookstore offers crucial research on pressing Church issues. Its resources will help you discern truth and error in today's confusing spiritual landscape. For further documentation and resources, visit my social media accounts and three biblical discernment theology websites, SpiritJournaling.com, DangersOfYoga.com, and SpiritualResearchNetwork.org.

The SpiritJournaling.com website, in particular, serves a vital purpose by exposing and warning against the dangers of occult/spiritistic practices in the world and the Church. This website will help you know the spiritual hazards of the Jesus Calling Series and how to stand against this dangerous threat. It will also help you not be misled by the massive onslaught of unbiblical, occult, telepathic, sensory-oriented "messages" from unbiblical spiritual entities that masquerade as "Jesus." The "Jesus" of Sarah Young's Jesus Calling Series is one of these dangerous spiritistic false Christ deceptions. The proof is in her writings.

Sadly, the 45 million-plus readers of Sarah Young's Jesus Calling devotional series have no idea that 50 Occult training principles are embedded throughout the Series. Brenna E. Scott's eight-year book research project reveals these principles in Sarah Young's books. At SpiritJournaling.com, Brenna's book can be read online for FREE. Hard copies can be obtained from our store. Click Christian Journaling or Psychic Channeling?: A Critical Comparison of the Jesus Calling Series with Occult Training Literature.

Some of the more glaring examples of dangerous occult influences entering the Church are "Christianized" versions of psychic methodologies, such as telepathy, clairaudience, clairsentience, and even necromancy (communicating with the dead). One such example can be found in the first chapter of Warren B. Smith's book, The Titanic and Today's Church—A Tale of Two Shipwrecks. This chapter warns about a variation of necromancy that Pastor Steve Berger and his wife Sarah have been promoting for many years. See these two booklets, Dead Men Talking: Necromancy In Today's Church and Promise Keepers, Steve Berger, and the Dangerous Implications of Ignoring Necromancy in the Church.

I hope the products in my bookstore will inspire and motivate you to stand firm in God's truth as you trust Him and share His gospel of hope and salvation with others.

Committed first and foremost to the Lord Jesus Christ and the integrity of His Word, the primary goal of Spiritual Research Network (SRN) is twofold:

to Proclaim the Gospel and Encourage Biblical Discernment, and

to Research, Inform, and Warn of the dangers of cults, spiritual abuse, and mystical/occult-based spirituality.
