Booklet excerpt:

[O]ur departed loved ones are alive, active, and aware. . . . they are aware of times that we need special encouragement.1

[W]e’re surrounded by the saints who have gone before us, and however God chooses to use them to encourage us, you know we ought to be open to it.2

The words of a necromancing New Age channeler? No, these are the words of Promise Keepers Executive Board member Pastor Steve Berger, who was just announced to be one of the featured speakers at PK’s highly publicized “Daring Faith” conference to be held at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma on August 19-20, 2024.3

In their 2010 book Have Heart: Bridging the Gulf Between Heaven and Earth, Steve and Sarah Berger describe how their deceased son Josiah appeared at a Wednesday night prayer service at their church and spoke with then assistant pastor, Jim Sterling.4 According to the Bergers, Josiah showed up after guest worship leader, Rita Springer, had prayed before the service and asked the Lord if Josiah could come and worship with them that night.5 (This is necromancy! Deuteronomy 18:10-12) Pastor Sterling, initially convinced, later became convicted through Bible study and prayer that the “Josiah” that appeared before him was demonic and was definitely not the pastor’s son as the Bergers would have everyone believe in their book.6
