Here’s a list of credible resources for Christians on controversial and difficult topics.

Personal Deliverance – Inner-healing, physical healing, and casting out demons.
Michael W. Smith (the counselor and not singer) from the Healing House in Arizona has the most solid, effective, and comprehensive teaching on personal deliverance. Just go to Youtube and enter Hardcore Christianity. I recommend his teaching on addiction and ministering to the mentally ill.

Spiritual Warfare
John Paul Jackson has a book called Needless Casualties of War. This is a safety guideline. It prevents Christians from lawlessly going into the second heaven to confront entities over cities without God's directon and permission. Here is a sample: http://www.daystar.com/ondemand/video/?video=2491413908001

Discerning Spirits - Particularly Principalities and Territorial Spirits
Don Paul has a series called Building the Warrior series of 50 YouTube videos. He has a team where he is directed by God to go around the world - either individually or with a team - and confront high level demons in territories. This ministry is only for the mature and the called. Just Google "BTW Don Paul" for his YouTube channel. I recommend the one on religious spirits.

Teaching with an Historical/Hebrew Background
If you are teaching and want a big-picture historical understanding that includes a Hebrew perspective on various books in the Bible then go to David Pawson’s Unlocking the Bible series on YouTube. I recommend Hebrew Poetry.

Women in Ministry
Jonathan Welton has a YouTube video called Liberating Women in Ministry that expounds what the Bible really says about women speaking in church. He also has other resources that help interpret the difficult passages on women in ministry using the Bible through his books, CD’s and videos.

End Times
Jonathan Welton also has a YouTube series on the four views of the Endtimes. This series is called the Last Days Series. His perspective is called Preterism which is a Christian eschatological view that claims that most End Time prophecies from the Bible have already happened.

New Testament Giving (not Tithing)
If you want a comprehensive and accurate study on the challenging topic of tithing than you can go to Dr. Stephen Jones website called God’s Kingdom Ministries and go to the search box and enter "tithe" and choose from the various articles.

Ministry of the Apostle and Prophet
There is an Apostle training series on Youtube through Apostolic Movement International with Collette Toach. She also does training in the prophet. This will give you a foundation of the training of an apostle or prophet about. Start with the YouTube video on the Apostalic Mandate.

Spiritual Abuse
Roberta Morrison has some YouTube videos on spiritual abuse. She uses her own experience of removing herself from a toxic church setting. Start with Toxic Spiritual abuse at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6x5RVfKXgQ.

Song of Solomon
The Song of Songs is not the easiest poem in the Bible to interpret but Mike Bickle has researched this book in depth. He has a 24 session podcast on the topic and seems to me to be to be the best interpretation. https://mikebickle.org/resources/series/song-of-songs

The Parable of the Shrewd Manager – Luke 16:1-13
This is the most difficult parable in the Bible to interpret and has been taught inaccurately by many. Most times preachers just avoid it. Its complexity can be dissected and expounded at https://liferemixed.net/2011/11/30/shrewd-manager-luke-16/
