| I Was a Christian My Whole Life. Then the Holy Spirit Changed Me Overnight. - #195 Tori Gilbert | 20 Oct 2026 | 02:33:09 | |
Tori Gilbert had followed Jesus for years, but after being baptized in the Holy Spirit, her Christian life became something she says she never knew was possible. Tori grew up believing in God, heard His audible voice as a child, surrendered her life fully to Jesus at 19, attended Bible college, and even served on the mission field. But after years of following Christ, she found herself asking a difficult question: Is this all there is? Then she was baptized in the Holy Spirit. Almost immediately, Tori says her desires changed, her relationship with God came alive in a new way, and spiritual gifts she had never experienced began appearing. What started as a few simple syllables while praying in tongues soon became what she describes as an entire language pouring out of her for hours—along with an interpretation and an urgent message from the Holy Spirit for someone she barely knew. Since then, Tori says she has experienced prophetic words, tongues and interpretation, spiritually significant dreams, supernatural discernment, evangelism, and a completely different understanding of prayer and partnership with the Holy Spirit. This conversation explores what changed, how she knew these experiences weren't simply emotion or imagination, and why Tori believes there is far more available to followers of Jesus than she once understood. ---------- 👉 THINGS YOU CAN DO! ✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give ✟ Recommend a guest for us ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact ✟ Become a member of our YouTube channel! ⇨ https://www.youtube.com/@AStrongerFaith/join ✟ Subscribe to our YouTube Channel ⇨ https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube✟ Subscribe to our YouTube Clips Channel ⇨ https://www.youtube.com/@AStrongerFaithClips/?sub_confirmation=1 ---------- ✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith --------- ✟ For prayer or deliverance, or to become a prayer partner, please visit: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer. ✟ ASF recommended books: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books ---------- ✟ Small Group Questions from this Episode: 1.

| I Was a Christian for Years. Then I Started Hearing God and Seeing Visions. - #194 Valerie Duvall | 13 Oct 2026 | 02:52:32 | |
Val Duvall spent years as a Christian believing what the Bible said about dreams, visions, healing and the gifts of the Holy Spirit—then she began experiencing them for herself. Over the years, Val says God has spoken to her through nearly 200 recorded dreams, visions, prophetic impressions and His voice. She describes a vision of Jesus on a road she would later recognize as the entrance to the neighborhood where she has now lived for 20 years. She shares how her hands began getting hot when praying for healing, how God revealed that unforgiveness was hindering her healing gift, and how she has experienced three supernatural healings in her own body. In this conversation, Val and Stacy wrestle honestly with some of the questions many Christians have: • How do you know a vision is from God and not your imagination? • How do you recognize His voice? • Are dreams, healing and the gifts of the Spirit really available to believers today? • And what happens when someone stops simply believing these things happened in the Bible and begins pursuing God with the expectation that He is still active now? Val’s story is a journey from knowing about the supernatural life described in Scripture to personally experiencing dreams, visions, healing, prophecy and the voice of God. 👉 LINKS TO BOOKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: ⇨ The Power of a Praying Parent - Stormie Omartian https://link.amazon/A0dPYwqD1 ⇨ The Power of a Praying Wife - Stormie Omartian https://link.amazon/A08vNrAIA ---------- 👉 THINGS YOU CAN DO! ✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give ✟ Recommend a guest for us ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact ✟ Subscribe to our YouTube Channel ⇨ https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube✟ Subscribe to our YouTube Clips Channel ⇨ https://www.youtube.com/@AStrongerFaithClips/?sub_confirmation=1 ---------- ✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith --------- ✟ For prayer or deliverance, or to become a prayer partner, please visit: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer. ✟ ASF recommended books: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books ---------- Small Group Questions from this Episode: 1.

| She Prays for the Sick, Sees Angels & Hears God. You Can Too. - #193 Charlene Watson | 06 Oct 2026 | 02:13:19 | |
Charlene Watson asked God to let her see in the Spirit. Today she sees angels, prays for the sick and watches people get healed. She believes every Christian was meant to live this way. Charlene is the woman who prayed with Mandy Arriola in episode 176 for the healing in her legs (watch Mandy's episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VZ5AwI7AXk.) Charlene now helps lead a Friday Morning Prayer Group, where people come for healing, deliverance and freedom. In this conversation she shares: • How she asked God to see in the Spirit, and the hard year that followed • A college athlete who couldn't speak for six weeks, and the prayer session that gave her voice back • Why unforgiveness is the open door she sees most often in healing ministry • What walking in the Spirit looks like day to day • Why most Christians never experience the supernatural, and where to start. Be sure to stay to the end as Charlene closes by praying over you for healing, freedom and the baptism of the Holy Spirit. ---------- 👉 THINGS YOU CAN DO!: ✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give ✟ Recommend a guest for us ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact ✟ Subscribe to our YouTube Channel ⇨ https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ✟ Subscribe to our Clips Channel ⇨ https://www.youtube.com/@AStrongerFaithClips/?sub_confirmation=1 ---------- ✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith --------- ✟ For prayer or deliverance, or to become a prayer partner, please visit: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer. ✟ ASF recommended books: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books ---------- ✟ Small Group Questions from This Episode: ⇨ Charlene says that “walking in the Spirit” means choosing whether to listen to God or to our feelings.

| I Told God, “Hit Me Right Between the Eyes.” Then He Literally Did. - #192 Joe Mathews | 29 Sep 2026 | 02:09:32 | |
Joe Mathews spent years searching for God, questioning what was real, and asking for evidence. Then he challenged God directly: “Hit me right between the eyes.” Joe believed God existed, but he struggled to understand why a God who was supposedly everywhere seemed so hidden. His search led him through Eastern spirituality, séances, Ouija boards, and other spiritual experiences before he eventually walked into a Christian meeting he almost left. After responding to an invitation to follow Jesus, Joe says he felt the force of a blow directly between his eyes that sent him several feet backward. What followed was an intense encounter with the Holy Spirit that he says changed him immediately. Joe also shares about seeing what he believes was an angel, encounters with demonic activity, his search for evidence of God, and the years of faith that followed. ---------- 👉 THINGS YOU CAN DO!: ✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give ----------- ✟ Recommend a guest for us ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact ---------- ✟ Subscribe to our Clips Channel ⇨ https://www.youtube.com/@AStrongerFaithClips/?sub_confirmation=1 ---------- ✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith --------- ✟ For prayer or deliverance, or to become a prayer partner, please visit: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer. ✟ ASF recommended books: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books ---------- ✟ Small Group Questions from This Episode: ⇨ Joe said, “You don’t need to have the experience I had to get saved.” How has God made Himself known to you in your own experience? ⇨ Joe described a season when “God was present but distant”, what can we learn from his experience about trusting God when He seems distant or silent? ⇨ How do faith, evidence, and our personal experiences work together in helping us believe in and know God? ✟ Key Bible verses for Further Study: ⇨ John 20:24–29 ⇨ Job 38–42 ⇨ Acts 2 | |||
| I Saw Jesus. Then the Power of God Went Through My Body Like Electricity. - #191 Tiera Hoaglund | 22 Sep 2026 | 01:44:23 | |
Tiera Hoaglund grew up surrounded by abuse, neglect, and addiction—and called herself a Christian without knowing if God even loved her. Then, alone in her basement, she says she saw Jesus and felt the power of God move through her body like electricity. Tiera spent part of her childhood homeless, watched her mother cycle through destructive relationships, and saw her siblings taken away. She swore she would never repeat those patterns—yet eventually found herself surrounded by addiction again. As she began pursuing God, reading the Bible, confronting her past, and asking for more of Him, she started to realize He had been drawing her toward Himself all along. Then came the encounter that changed the course of her life. Tiera says she saw Jesus, felt God’s power move through her body for hours, and heard the words her heart desperately needed: “I see you. You are My child. I love you.” The woman who once only believed about God says she finally knew Him for herself. This is Tiera’s story of trauma, redemption, and an encounter with God so powerful that she has never been the same. ---------- 👉 THINGS YOU CAN DO!: ✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give ✟ Recommend a guest for us ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact ---------- ✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith --------- ✟ For prayer or deliverance, or to become a prayer partner, please visit: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer. ✟ ASF recommended books: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books ---------- ✟ Small Group Questions from this Episode ⇨ Tiera expressed patterns of brokenness and shame in her life, where do you see similar patterns of brokenness or shame in your own story? ⇨ How does confession open the door for healing and spiritual growth? ⇨ What does Tiera’s transformation reveal about the Holy Spirit’s power to change a life? ✟ Scripture References for Further Study ⇨ Psalm 34:18 ⇨ James 5:16 ⇨ Jeremiah 29:13 | |||
| A Psychologist Found Jesus at 39. Now She Shows People How to Actually Heal. - #190 Moriah Thomas | 15 Sep 2026 | 02:24:30 | |
Moriah Thomas spent years studying the human mind and treating trauma. Then she found Jesus at 39—and began discovering a kind of healing she had never been taught in psychology. Moriah holds multiple degrees in psychology and counseling, including a doctorate. But after coming to faith, she began hearing the voice of God, seeing angels and the spiritual realm, praying in tongues, experiencing deliverance, and pursuing the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Then her understanding of trauma began to change. Today, Moriah helps people uncover wounds and beliefs that may have been buried for years—not simply by teaching them how to cope, but by helping them quiet their minds, listen for Jesus, and allow Him to speak truth into the places that still hurt. In this conversation, Moriah and Stacy explore the difference between managing trauma and healing it, how to recognize the voice of God, what Moriah sees in the spiritual realm, and why she believes many Christians are living with far less freedom and intimacy with Jesus than is available to them. Stacy also shares what happened when he personally went through one of Moriah’s two-hour freedom sessions—and Jesus brought up something from his childhood he hadn’t thought about in decades. 👉 Learn more about the freedom ministry Moriah is developing below: Website: www.riseupculture.church Email address: freedom@theriseupculture.com ---------- ✟ Small Group Questions from this Episode ⇨ How have you personally experienced the “weight of truth” in your walk with Jesus? ⇨ What does spiritual hunger look like in your life right now, and what helps you pursue God more deeply? ⇨ What areas of your life might Jesus be inviting you to heal so you can experience more of Him? ✟ Key Bible Verses for Further Study ⇨ John 10:27 ⇨ Hebrews 11:6 ⇨ James 4:8 ---------- 👉 THINGS YOU CAN DO!: ✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give ✟ Recommend a guest for us ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact ---------- ✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith --------- ✟ For prayer or deliverance, or to become a prayer partner, please visit: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer. ✟ ASF recommended books: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books | |||
| I Swore I'd Never Fake It — Then I Couldn't Stop Speaking in Tongues - #189 Tyler Edwards | 08 Sep 2026 | 02:20:54 | |
He thought people who spoke in tongues were faking it. Then, alone in his car, he lost control of his own voice — and it didn't stop. Tyler Edwards grew up around Christianity, walked away from it, explored other beliefs, and eventually landed somewhere he wasn't sure what he believed at all. Serious kidney failure forced him to confront his own mortality — and he surrendered his life to Jesus. Days later, while driving alone, he felt prompted to pray. He opened his mouth reluctantly, determined not to fake anything. What happened next wasn't emotion, and it wasn't something he could have produced himself. He began speaking in tongues and felt what he describes as the tangible presence of God — a weight he still struggles to put into words, lasting nearly the whole day. Two months later, he received the kidney transplant he needed to survive. But Tyler's story isn't just about the encounter. It's also a warning: even after something that undeniable, your relationship with God can quietly fade if you stop pursuing Him. In this conversation, Tyler and Stacy talk openly about the baptism of the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues, surrender, healing, and what it means to keep chasing God after the encounter is over.

| Black Tar Came Out of Her as God Delivered Her From a Lifetime of Trauma - #188 Kathy Williamson | 01 Sep 2026 | 02:21:00 | |
Kathy Williamson believed in God — but she knew there had to be more. Then one night on her bathroom floor, she experienced the Holy Spirit in a way she never imagined. After years of hidden shame, anger, bitterness, and unexplained spiritual torment, Kathy began desperately pursuing God — praying for ten months for the gift of tongues. What followed was a two-and-a-half-hour encounter with the Holy Spirit that included speaking in tongues, visions, supernatural deliverance, and a physical manifestation she describes as black tar leaving her body. Her husband heard it happening through the door and started recording. But Kathy's story isn't ultimately about chasing supernatural experiences or spiritual gifts — it's about discovering intimacy with God. She shares what happened when she stopped simply believing in God and started surrendering her life to truly know Him, and why she believes anyone seeking encounters, healing, deliverance, or spiritual gifts should pursue God Himself first. If you're hungry to experience more of God, hear His voice, understand the Holy Spirit, or walk in greater spiritual freedom, this conversation is for you. ---------- ✟ Small Group Questions From This Episode ⇨ How does Kathy’s story challenge our understanding of what it means to truly seek God with our whole heart? ⇨ What does her experience reveal about the cost and the beauty of obedience, especially when God asks for something difficult? ⇨ How does Kathy’s encounter illustrate the Holy Spirit’s power to heal past wounds and transform identity? ✟ Bible References for Further Study ⇨ John 15:4–5 ⇨ Romans 8:1 ⇨ James 4:8 ---------- 👉 THINGS YOU CAN DO!: ✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give ----------- ✟ Recommend a guest for us ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact ---------- ✟ Subscribe to our Clips Channel ⇨ https://www.youtube.com/@AStrongerFaithClips/?sub_confirmation=1 ---------- ✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith --------- ✟ For prayer or deliverance, or to become a prayer partner, please visit: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer. ✟ ASF recommended books: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books | |||
| I Grew Up in Church. My Childhood 'Nervous Stomach' Was Actually a Demon. - #187 Kelly Alix | 25 Aug 2026 | 02:32:05 | |
Kelly Alix grew up in church and did everything she thought a good Christian should do—but she had no idea how real the spiritual world actually was. An unexplained childhood “nervous stomach” followed Kelly into adulthood, fear began sabotaging the calling God had placed on her, and eventually her hunger for something spiritually real drew her toward witchcraft and the paranormal. In this episode, Kelly shares how she came to believe her lifelong struggle wasn't simply anxiety, experienced deliverance from a spirit of fear, and discovered what it actually means to experience the Holy Spirit instead of simply believing in God. We talk about demonic attack, spiritual warfare, witchcraft and the occult, hearing God's voice, deliverance, discerning counterfeit spirituality, and encountering the presence of God. If you've ever wondered whether there's more of God to experience than what you've known, Kelly's story may challenge what you believe is possible.

| I Was a Lifelong Atheist Who Became an Anti-Theist. Now I Preach Jesus. - #186 James Leonard | 18 Aug 2026 | 03:07:51 | |
He was a lifelong atheist who became a committed anti-theist. Today, he preaches Jesus and leads worship—because Jesus actually spoke to him. James Leonard wanted nothing to do with Christianity. His search for truth eventually took him through Buddhism, meditation, New Age spirituality, tarot cards, channeling, and nearly an ayahuasca retreat. Then, during a 10-day silent meditation retreat, James experienced something he couldn't explain away—a thought entered his mind that he knew wasn't his own. He didn't know it was Jesus. Over the next year, James began encountering Jesus in unexpected ways until one night, after days of wrestling with what he was discovering, he finally said yes. Today, the man who once proudly identified himself as an anti-theist teaches the Bible, preaches Jesus, and leads Christian worship. 👉 REACH JAMES: • If you want to reach out to James directly with questions or comments – jamesleonardministry@gmail.com • YouTube (sermons and other content) – https://www.youtube.com/@jleonard24 • James on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jleonard47/ ---------- ✟ Small Group Questions From This Episode: • How have you personally experienced God in quiet or solitary moments? • Where have you seen the limits of trying to live a good life apart from God? • How has God used love, relationships, or service to draw you toward Him? ✟ Bible References for Further Study: • 1 Kings 19:12 • John 13:14–15 • 2 Corinthians 5:17 ---------- 👉 THINGS YOU CAN DO!: ✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give ✟ Recommend a guest for us ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact ✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith --------- ✟ For prayer or deliverance, or to become a prayer partner, please visit: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer. ✟ ASF recommended books: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books #AtheistToChristian #ChristianTestimony #JesusChangedMyLife #FindingJesus #GodIsReal #NewAgeToJesus #GodSpokeToMe #AntiTheist #FromDoubtToFaith #SpiritualAwakening #ChristianPodcast #AStrongerFaith | |||
| Why Most Christians Never Heal the Sick… And How You Can - #185 Tom Loud | 11 Aug 2026 | 03:01:09 | |
For many Christians, healing is something they believe God can do—but rarely something they expect Him to do through them. Tom Loud spent decades praying for people with little to no results. Then one revelation from God changed everything. Today, he has trained thousands of ordinary believers around the world to pray for the sick with confidence, authority, and expectancy—and they've witnessed countless testimonies of healing. In this conversation, Tom shares: • Why most Christians rarely see healing when they pray • The biblical difference between praying for healing and commanding healing • The role of faith, authority, and the Holy Spirit in healing ministry • Whether healing is a gift for only a few—or available to every believer • How God transformed Tom's understanding after decades of frustration • Remarkable healing testimonies from everyday Christians around the world Whether you're skeptical, curious, or have prayed for healing yourself, this conversation will challenge what you believe about the words of Jesus and what may still be possible today. 👉 GET TOM'S BOOK, Unlocking Kingdom Power: Five Keys to Divine Healing https://amzn.to/4wMxjcO 👉 Watch more from Tom Loud on his YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TomLoudMiracles 👉 Reach Tom at pastortomloud@gmail.com ---------- ✟ Small Group Questions From This Episode: ⇨ Tom describes learning to “quiet the natural mind” in order to operate in the Spirit.

| Jesus Appeared to Her at 10... Then Everything He Said Came True. - #184 Eileen Mestas | 04 Aug 2026 | 02:38:24 | |
At 10 years old, Jesus appeared at the foot of Eileen Mestas's bed and gave her an assignment for her life. What followed wasn't a single miracle—it was decades of watching everything He said come true. Eileen Mestas says Jesus appeared at the foot of her bed and told her He was taking her on a journey. Over the years, He showed her the man she would one day marry before they ever met, guided her family through multiple adoptions, answered an impossible prayer to breastfeed her adopted premature twins after eight years without nursing, and orchestrated events she believes only God could have arranged. Through every season, Eileen says she watched Jesus faithfully and miraculously fulfill what He had spoken from the very beginning. 👉 Link to Eileen’s book More Than "I" Can Handle: One Family's Story of Trusting God Through the Impossible: https://amzn.to/4wYyLZt 👉 Reach Eileen on her website here: https://www.mustardseedfaithministries.org/ ---------- ✟ Small Group Questions from this Episode: ⇨ How does Eileen’s early encounter with Jesus shape the way she interprets the rest of her life story? ⇨ What does Eileen’s lifelong hunger for God—and her experiences of His guidance through dreams, promptings, and provision—teach us about trusting God’s leading in our own lives? ⇨ How did Eileen’s struggles with fear, emotional overwhelm, and the weight of life’s pressures become moments where she learned to cling to God’s voice, and what can her story teach us about trusting God in seasons when our mental and emotional health feels fragile? ✟ Key Bible Passages Referenced in the Interview: ⇨ John 10:27 ⇨ Jeremiah 29:13 ⇨ Psalm 32:8 ---------- ✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give ----------- ✟ Recommend a guest for us ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact ---------- ✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith --------- ✟ For prayer or deliverance, or to become a prayer partner, please visit: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer. ✟ ASF recommended books: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books | |||
| I Was Charged With Murder. Then God Spoke. - #183 Derrick Frank | 28 Jul 2026 | 02:16:50 | |
A man is falsely charged with first-degree murder, spends nine and a half months in jail, and reaches the lowest point of his life. Then God spoke. Derrick Frank didn't grow up believing God was real. He went to church because that's what his family did, but abuse, poverty, and years of pain left him questioning whether God even existed. After becoming involved in drugs, Derrick found himself falsely accused of murder, locked in solitary confinement, and ready to end his life.Then, in a jail cell, God met him. What followed convinced Derrick beyond any doubt that Jesus Christ is alive, still speaks, and relentlessly pursues people—even at their darkest moments. In this powerful Christian testimony, Derrick shares how God warned him through prophetic dreams, protected his life during a deadly drug deal, spoke to him in jail, revealed Himself through Scripture, and forever changed the direction of his life.

| Jesus Showed Me I Was Channeling Demons for Fame - #182 Jay Bonisolli | 21 Jul 2026 | 02:23:58 | |
Jay Bonisolli spent years chasing enlightenment through psychedelics, Eastern philosophy, and a music career he was willing to go dark to win — until God interrupted him three separate times. On a heroic dose of mushrooms, Jay experienced something he later realized matched the Bible's description of "outer darkness" — long before he'd ever read the term for himself. Years later, after writing a desperate letter to God, he encountered the presence of Jesus Christ so powerfully that a daily weed addiction and years of Eastern spiritual practice fell away overnight. And in an out-of-body encounter he still struggles to fully put into words, Jesus showed him plainly that the music opening doors to fame had been channeled from a source he never should have trusted. This conversation covers Jay's early psychedelic experiences, his years studying Buddhism and Hinduism (including months in India under a Hindu monk), a warning dream that ended his pursuit of a record deal, and the moment Jesus met him and never let go. If you've ever wondered whether there's more beyond what science can measure — or whether God pursues people even when they're running the other way — this episode is for you. ---------- ✟ Small Group Questions From This Episode: ⇨ How does Jay’s story illustrate the ways God pursues people even when they drift into deception or darkness? ⇨ What does his experience reveal about the danger of seeking spiritual truth outside of God’s design? ⇨ How does Jay’s encounter with Jesus demonstrate the power of humility and surrender? ✟ Bible References for Further Study: ⇨ Luke 15:11–32 ⇨ Matthew 11:28-30 ⇨ John 14:6 --------- ✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give ----------- ✟ Recommend a guest for us ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact ---------- ✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith --------- ✟ For prayer or deliverance, or to become a prayer partner, please visit: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer. ✟ ASF recommended books: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books | |||
| Can Prayer Reach Someone Who Doesn't Want to Be Reached? - #181 Phil Dougherty | 14 Jul 2026 | 02:34:07 | |
Can persistent prayer reach someone who doesn't want God? Phil Dougherty's story may change the way you answer that question. Phil Dougherty never imagined his life would change on a beach in New Jersey. Raised in a broken home, drawn into spiritual darkness, and convinced there was little hope for his future, he reached a point where he believed life wasn't worth living. What he didn't know was that two friends had been faithfully praying and fasting for him. In this conversation, Phil shares the remarkable encounter that changed everything: hearing God's voice, experiencing an overwhelming freedom he had never known, being confronted with a life-changing choice, receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and discovering that the prayers of others had been shaping his story long before he realized it. In this episode, you'll discover: • The hidden role prayer and fasting played in Phil's encounter with God • What happened during the unforgettable beach encounter that changed his life forever • How God rescued him from deep spiritual darkness • Why every person must ultimately choose how they'll respond to God • How Phil went from hopelessness and bondage to walking in spiritual authority and helping others find freedom Whether you're praying for a loved one who seems unreachable, wondering if God still speaks today, or longing to experience Him more deeply yourself, Phil's story is a powerful reminder that no one is beyond God's reach. ---------- ✟ Small Group Questions From This Episode: ⇨ How does Phil’s story illustrate the power of intercession in someone’s life? ⇨ What does Phil’s encounter on the beach reveal about God’s ability to break into a person’s darkest moments? ⇨ How does Phil’s transformation challenge our assumptions about who God can reach and how He works? ✟ Bible References for Further Study: ⇨ John 10:27 ⇨ Acts 1:8 ⇨ Isaiah 58:6 --------- You can reach Phil via email at: mystoryfindinggod@gmail.com --------- ✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give ----------- ✟ Recommend a guest for us ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact ---------- ✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith --------- ✟ For prayer or deliverance, or to become a prayer partner, please visit: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer. ✟ ASF recommended books: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books | |||
| Why Most Christians Never Heal the Sick (And How You Can) - #180 Judy Deese | 07 Jul 2026 | 02:25:11 | |
What if healing the sick wasn't reserved for pastors, evangelists, or people with a special gift? Judy Deese had no training, no theology degree, and never imagined God could heal through her. For more than two decades as a believer, she assumed this kind of authority was for someone else. Then she witnessed a healing right in front of her eyes—and shortly afterward discovered the same authority Jesus promised His followers was already living in her. In this conversation, Judy shares how it all began: a Wednesday night, a simple question to the Holy Spirit, a jolt awake in the middle of the night, and a voice she can still barely describe. From that moment, she began stepping out in faith—and hasn't stopped since. This episode covers: • How Judy went from watching a healing to administering one herself—with zero formal training • The difference between commanding healing and casting out a demon—and why she approaches them differently • Why she stopped praying for healing and started speaking directly to the affliction • The three open doors she believes can block healing: sin, unrepentance, and unforgiveness • What changed after she received the baptism of the Holy Spirit—and why she believes it's the missing piece for many believers • The surprising moment she realized her emotions didn't limit God's power to heal Did Jesus intend for every believer to heal the sick—or have most Christians settled for less than He promised? If you've ever wondered whether this kind of authority is reserved for a select few, this conversation will challenge what you believe about healing, the Holy Spirit, and the authority Jesus gave His followers. ----- ✟ Small Group Questions From This Episode: ⇨ How does Judy’s experience of hearing God’s voice challenge or shape your understanding of how the Holy Spirit speaks today? ⇨ What does Judy’s story reveal about the authority believers carry through the Holy Spirit? ⇨ How does Judy describe the simplicity of ministering healing, and what does that suggest about how believers can step into it? ✟ Bible References for Further Study: ⇨ John 14:12 ⇨ Mark 16:17–18 ⇨ Acts 1:8 ------- ✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give ----------- ✟ Recommend a guest for us ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact ---------- ✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith --------- ✟ For prayer or deliverance, or to become a prayer partner, please visit: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer. ✟ ASF recommended books: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books | |||
| God Showed Me Every Sin I Ever Committed. Then He Said, "I Chose You." - #179 Brad Richter | 30 Jun 2026 | 02:42:19 | |
He hadn't prayed in 25 years. Then at 3:00 AM, a voice woke him up: "Get up. Find your Bible." What followed was a four-hour encounter with Jesus that Brad Richter had no framework for — a flood of memories of every failure he'd ever committed, followed by an answer he never expected: not condemnation, but "I chose you." Brad describes being embraced in his own filth, before any cleanup, before any effort to make himself presentable. Brad grew up a missionary kid in New Guinea, where the cost of the gospel — death, tragedy, and unanswered questions — hardened his heart by age 13. For the next 25 years he was disconnected from God: not hostile, just numb. He wasn't praying. He wasn't searching. In this conversation, Brad walks through: • The night God broke into his life with no warning and no spiritual buildup • Asking Jesus one question — "How much do you love me?" — and what happened next • How obedience in small, ordinary moments (fixing a stranger's roof, giving a ride to a woman searching for God, feeding a homeless brother in Christ) became the doorway to experiencing God personally • A vision of spiritual warfare — pinned in the mud with Satan's foot on his neck, refusing to tap out — and what he found in his hands when he didn't • What it means to invite God into your burdens instead of asking Him to remove them• Why God's delight in us is often harder to receive than His forgiveness This is a story about what happens when God interrupts a life that wasn't looking for Him — and what it costs, and gives, to say yes. ----- Small Group Questions From This Episode: ⇨ What impact did witnessing trauma on the mission field have on Brad’s view of God? ⇨ How did Brad respond when he heard the command, “Get up,” in the middle of the night? ⇨ How does Brad describe the moment when he realized Jesus knew his name? ⇨ What did Brad mean when he said receiving God’s love would “cost him his life”?

| She Can See the Gifts God Placed in You. They Appear As Color. - #178 Erica Laney | 23 Jun 2026 | 02:16:49 | |
What if the reason you haven't experienced more of God has nothing to do with how hard you're praying — and everything to do with what you're asking for? Erica Laney is a wife, mother of five, and a woman operating in a level of prophetic gifting that is rare and specific. She sees spiritual gifts in people through color. She receives visions that have proven out in real life. And she traces every bit of it back to one moment when she stopped bringing God her problems and asked Him what she could do for Him instead. In this conversation Erica shares how that single shift in posture unlocked prophetic gifts she never sought, how fasting became the most direct line she has found to hearing God clearly, why she believes the enemy is actively working to keep the church from real fasting, and what it looks like to cultivate spiritual gifts once they arrive. She also did something in this very conversation that neither of us expected. In this conversation, Erica shares: ⇨ What she sees when she looks at people in the Spirit — and what each color means ⇨ How she witnessed a vision of demonic beings planning specific assignments against her family ⇨ Why she believes most Christians are fasting wrong — and why that's not an accident ⇨ How a 21-day fast and a 48-hour water fast led to the birth of a son she saw coming years before he arrived ⇨ What it means to ask God what you can do for Him — and why it changes everything 📩 Share your story: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact 💛 Support this ministry: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give If you and a few people in your life are hungry for more of God, this episode was made to be discussed.

| I Was a Christian My Whole Life, But I Had Never Experienced God - #176 Mandy Arriola | 09 Jun 2026 | 01:54:51 | |
Mandy Arriola suffered with chronic leg pain for a year — then God healed her completely during prayer at a Bible study. What followed was a full awakening to the power of the Holy Spirit that transformed every part of her life. She grew up Southern Baptist, believed in Jesus her whole life, and considered herself a Christian. But she had never experienced God — not really. Then a year of chronic leg pain she couldn't explain led her to a Bible study in a small town general store, where a stranger prayed over her and everything changed in an instant. In this episode, Mandy shares the moment God healed her legs completely during prayer, what it physically felt like when the Holy Spirit moved through her body, and why the healing was actually the least important thing that happened that day. What she received was an awakening — to the baptism of the Holy Spirit, to speaking in tongues, to hearing God's voice, to commanding sickness to leave in Jesus' name — a version of Christianity she didn't know existed and says she could never go back from. In this episode: ⇨ Chronic leg pain following COVID that ended her 17-year career as a hairdresser ⇨ A miraculous physical healing during prayer at a small town Bible study ⇨ What it feels like when the Holy Spirit moves through your body ⇨ Hearing speaking in tongues for the first time — and why it was beautiful, not frightening ⇨ Receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the gift of tongues ⇨ Encountering Jesus in a vision while sitting in bed beside her sleeping husband ⇨ Commanding sickness to leave in Jesus' name — and watching it work ⇨ The difference between believing in God and actually experiencing Him ⇨ Why so many Christians are living with an unopened gift⇨ How to hear God's voice and recognize it as your own thoughts This is a conversation about the gap between believing in God and actually experiencing Him, the power and authority that Scripture says belongs to every believer, and why so many Christians are living with an unopened gift. --------- ✟ Small Group Discussion Questions from this Episode: ⇨ How does Mandy’s experience challenge or expand your understanding of how God heals and moves today? ⇨ What does her story reveal about the difference between knowing about God and experiencing His love personally? ⇨ How does her encounter with the Holy Spirit reshape the way we think about spiritual gifts and their purpose in the life of a believer? ✟ Bible References for Further Study: ⇨ John 10:10 ⇨ Romans 8:11 ⇨ 1 Corinthians 2:4–5 ---------- ✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give ----------- ✟ Recommend a guest for us ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact ---------- ✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith --------- ✟ For prayer or deliverance, or to become a prayer partner, please visit: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer. ✟ ASF recommended books: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books#HolySpirit | |||
| The Truth About Speaking in Tongues and How to Finally Receive It - #175 Jeff and Adrienne Rogers | 02 Jun 2026 | 02:50:10 | |
Many Christians have questions about the baptism of the Holy Spirit. What is it? Is it for believers today? Does it always happen the same way? How do you know if you've received it? And what role does speaking in tongues play in the experience? In this conversation, Jeff and Adrienne Rogers share two remarkably different experiences with the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Adrienne was raised in a Lutheran church and believed she already had everything she needed spiritually. Jeff spent years pursuing a deeper experience with God and wrestling through questions of faith, scripture, and the work of the Holy Spirit. What followed challenged many of their assumptions and ultimately transformed the course of their lives. Rather than presenting a formula, their stories reveal something many Christians never realize: God does not always work the same way in every person. The baptism of the Holy Spirit can look very different from one believer to another while producing the same hunger for God, intimacy with Him, and desire to walk in His power. In this episode, we discuss: ⇨ The baptism of the Holy Spirit ⇨ Speaking in tongues and prayer language ⇨ Whether spiritual gifts are still active today ⇨ Pentecost and Acts 2 ⇨ Faith, expectation, and receiving from God ⇨ Hearing God's voice ⇨ Miracles and the power of prayer ⇨ Walking in the fullness of what God has for believers Whether you have experienced the baptism of the Holy Spirit yourself, are seeking it, are skeptical of it, or simply want to understand what the Bible teaches, this conversation offers a thoughtful and honest look at a subject that has shaped the lives of Christians for generations. 👉 Subscribe to A Stronger Faith for more conversations about healing, miracles, deliverance, spiritual gifts, encounters with God, and the ways ordinary people are experiencing His presence and power today. 👉 Link to Jeff’s book God’s Love Is Different: https://amzn.to/4nQLVVa 👉 Link to Jeff’s YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@jygrogers --------------------------- ✟ SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS from this episode: ⇨ How does Adrienne’s experience challenge traditional assumptions about how the Holy Spirit moves in churches that do not teach or expect supernatural encounters? ⇨ What role does hunger, desperation, and personal pursuit play in receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit, based on both Jeff and Adrienne’s stories? ⇨ How should believers discern between emotionalism and genuine encounters with the Holy Spirit, especially when experiences fall outside their theological background?✟ Bible References for Further Study: ⇨ Acts 2:1–4 ⇨ Mark 11:24 ⇨ 1 Corinthians 14:2 ----------------------- ✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give -------------------------- ✟ Recommend a guest for us here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact -------------------------- ✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith ------------------------ ✟ If you need prayer or deliverance, or if you would like to join us as a prayer partner, please visit our prayer resources page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer. ✟ If you are looking for a good faith-building book, visit our recommended books page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books. | |||
| I Found Jesus… But Following Him Cost Me My Family - #174 Sajeda Wilson | 26 May 2026 | 02:22:50 | |
What happens when your search for God leads you to a truth that costs you everything? In this powerful episode of A Stronger Faith, Sajeda Wilson shares her extraordinary journey from 32 years of devout Islam to a life-altering encounter with Jesus Christ. Born in Pakistan and raised in a prominent Shia Muslim family, Sajeda was fully committed to her faith—until a personal tragedy and a search for truth led her to open a Bible for the very first time. In this episode, we discuss: ⇨ The Hidden Inconsistencies: Why Sajeda’s deep study of the Quran and Hadith left her with more questions than answers. ⇨ The "Secret" Bible Study: How an avid reader discovered the person of Jesus through the scriptures in a hotel room. ⇨ The Supernatural Nurse: Sajeda’s incredible, verbatim account of a mysterious figure who appeared in her hospital room during a critical moment. ⇨ The Ultimate Price: What it feels like to be told you are "dead" to your family for choosing to follow Jesus. ⇨ Radical Redemption: How the "God of judgment" she feared became the "God of love" who rescued her. Sajeda’s story is a profound reminder that God is actively pursuing us, often in the places we least expect. Whether you are questioning your own faith, seeking the truth, or need to be reminded of the power of God’s love, this testimony will leave you changed. ------------------- ✟ ✟ ✟ NEW ✟ ✟ ✟ SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS from this episode: 1.What does it look like to seek God with an honest heart, even when it leads us into uncomfortable questions? 2.

| The Doctor Said He Was DYING, Then a SINGLE FINGER Touched His Back - # 173 John Reed | 19 May 2026 | 02:25:01 | |
Doctors told John Reed to get his affairs in order. COVID was destroying his lungs, his oxygen levels were collapsing, and doctors believed he was going to die. Then, in the middle of the night, John heard someone enter his hospital room. He felt a single finger touch his back — but when he looked, no one was there. Days later, the spot on his lung that doctors feared would collapse suddenly began improving. But this story started years earlier. As a young gang member, John repeatedly encountered strangers who gave him the exact same message: “The Holy Spirit told me to tell you He’s going to make you a pastor.” A prophet. A lunch lady. A pastor. For years, he tried to outrun the calling on his life — until a near-death battle with COVID changed everything. In this episode, John Reed shares his supernatural healing testimony, prophetic encounters, dreams, surrender to God, and the hospital experience he believes saved his life. ------------------ ✟ ✟ ✟ NEW ✟ ✟ ✟ SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS from this episode: 1.

| I Didn’t Believe in God… Then I Heard Him Say “I AM” - #172 Lisa Kehs | 12 May 2026 | 03:09:21 | |
She didn’t believe God was real. Lisa Kehs wasn’t searching. She had already rejected religion after years of frustration with hypocrisy, rules, and empty ritual. Her life was successful, stable, and completely secular. Then one night, in the middle of her anger over people offering empty words to grieving friends, she said something she never expected to matter: “Unless you were real…” What happened next interrupted everything she believed—and forced her to confront a reality she couldn’t ignore. In this episode of A Stronger Faith, Lisa Kehs shares how a single, unexpected moment launched her from skepticism and resistance into a relentless pursuit of Jesus—not through religion, but through something she could no longer deny. ----------------- ✟ ✟ ✟ NEW ✟ ✟ ✟ SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS from this episode: 1.

| I Felt Like I Was on Fire… Then She Called Me Out in Front of Everyone - # 171 Natalie Roe | 05 May 2026 | 02:47:36 | |
Natalie Roe was a self-described analytical "first-born" who liked logic, rules, and order. But all of that was shattered in a single moment when the Holy Spirit broke through her intellectual barriers in a way she could not explain away. During a quiet Bible study, Natalie began to feel a tangible, heavy weight of peace—quickly followed by an intense physical heat that left her "on fire" and sweating in a climate-controlled room. In that moment, she heard a clear, internal voice telling her she was about to be "called out" in front of everyone. Minutes later, the speaker stopped mid-sentence, pointed directly at her, and declared: "You are on fire." But God wasn't done breaking through her logic. Just weeks later, doctors found a specific, precise lump that required immediate scans. Despite the diagnosis, Natalie was flooded with a supernatural peace and a clear word from God: "The lump will be gone." In this powerful testimony on A Stronger Faith, Natalie recounts: ⇨ The moment her physical heat became so intense it was visible to others. ⇨ How God redeemed her "Peter moment" of disobedience with a second chance to speak. ⇨ The medical results that left her doctors perplexed after the lump vanished in a 12-hour window. ⇨ How the "dam finally broke" on her prayer life, leading to a spontaneous gift of prayer language. If you have felt like your faith is more of an intellectual "checklist" than a living relationship, Natalie’s story is a roadmap for how to move from logic to the "Holy Tsunami" of God’s presence. --------- ✟ ✟ ✟ NEW! ✟ ✟ ✟ SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS from this episode: ⇨ How has God revealed Himself to you in ways that went beyond your expectations or understanding? ⇨ What does it look like to “get out of our own way” and posture ourselves in humility before God? ⇨ How can we tell the difference between God’s voice, our own thoughts, and feelings like shame or fear?

| I Was Taught Miracles Had Stopped—Then I Experienced God - #170 Jesse Schlabach | 28 Apr 2026 | 02:34:13 | |
For decades, Jesse Schlabach believed miracles had stopped. Then he experienced God in a way he couldn’t explain away. Jesse was raised in a tradition that taught God no longer moved in supernatural ways. But after years of living under the weight of religious pressure, battling deep shame from childhood trauma, and even facing suicidal thoughts, everything came to a breaking point. What followed wasn’t a new idea about God—it was a real encounter with the Holy Spirit that changed how he thinks, lives, and relates to the people around him. In this conversation, Jesse shares how his faith moved from something he understood in his head to something he actually experienced. He talks about hearing God in a way he never had before, the moment he witnessed a physical healing in an everyday setting, and how stepping into the gifts of the Spirit began to transform his prayer life, his marriage, and his identity. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt stuck in religion, weighed down by shame, or unsure if God is still active today. ---------- ✟ ✟ ✟ NEW! ✟ ✟ ✟ SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS from this episode: ⇨ Where in your life might God be inviting you to move from “head knowledge” to “heart transformation”? ⇨ What might you be holding onto—fear, control, shame, pride, or offense—that could be limiting your openness to the Holy Spirit’s work? ⇨ How have you seen obedience—especially when it felt uncomfortable or didn’t make sense—produce spiritual fruit in your life or in others?

| Atheist Calls Out to the "Universe"… and JESUS Showed Up - #169 Lucy Meadows | 21 Apr 2026 | 02:47:09 | |
Lucy Meadows was raised atheist and became openly hostile toward Christianity after being labeled and pushed out in a heavily Christian environment. But she didn’t reject spirituality altogether. As long as it wasn’t Christianity, she was open to it—and what she stepped into was real. But it didn’t lead where she expected. What began as exploration turned into something darker. Something she couldn’t control. And eventually, it led her to a moment in her living room where, without having the right words or even knowing who she was reaching out to, she asked for help. What happened next was immediate. It was personal. And it completely disrupted everything she thought she knew about God, truth, and even her own identity. In this conversation, Lucy shares: ⇨ What it was like growing up atheist and rejecting Christianity ⇨ How New Age spirituality opened the door to real supernatural experiences ⇨ The moment everything shifted when she cried out for help ⇨ What she encountered in her living room ⇨ How that moment changed her instantly—not gradually ⇨ What she’s discovered about truth, identity, and the reality of God If you’ve ever questioned whether God is real—or wondered what would happen if you genuinely reached out—this conversation will challenge you.

| God Taught Me Music Overnight… But That Was Just the Beginning - # 168 Katie Peters | 14 Apr 2026 | 02:39:02 | |
At one point in Katie Peters’ life, she sat down at a piano with almost no ability to play—and the music just flowed. No training. No practice. No explanation. But what she discovered next was even more profound. For years, Katie had walked with God, but like many people, she wrestled with questions that don’t go away just because you believe. How do you know when it’s really God? How do you hear His voice? And what does it actually mean for Christ to live through you instead of striving to live for Him? What unfolded in her life wasn’t about trying harder or becoming more disciplined. It was about surrender—and learning to recognize the voice of God in a way that changed everything. The music wasn’t the destination. It was the evidence. In this conversation, you’ll discover: ⇨ What it actually feels like to hear God’s voice ⇨ Why striving in your faith may be holding you back ⇨ The difference between living for God and letting Him live through you ⇨ How surrender unlocks transformation you can’t manufacture --------------- KATIE’S WEBSITE: https://hopeiscalling.com/ KATIE’S YOUTUBE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@KatieM_Peters ---------------- ✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give -------------------------- ✟ Recommend a guest for us here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact -------------------------- ✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith ------------------------ ✟ If you need prayer or deliverance, or if you would like to join us as a prayer partner, please visit our prayer resources page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer. ✟ If you are looking for a good faith-building book, visit our recommended books page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books. | |||
| After Everything I Did… I Didn’t Expect God to Show Up - #167 Michelle Slump | 07 Apr 2026 | 02:16:20 | |
She spent years running—through addiction, broken relationships, and choices she knew were pulling her deeper into darkness. But what she began to experience along the way… she couldn’t explain. Michelle Slump’s story isn’t just about addiction or hitting rock bottom. It’s about what happens when someone opens doors they don’t fully understand—and what follows them because of it. She describes moments that felt beyond psychological—seeing things, hearing things, even physical manifestations that left her questioning what was real. For years, she tried to manage it. To numb it. To outrun it. Until everything collapsed into a single moment where she realized she couldn’t fix it anymore. So she did something she had never fully done before—she surrendered. What she says happened next wasn’t subtle. It wasn’t theoretical. The presence of God met her in that moment and began to pull her out of a lifetime of chaos, addiction, and spiritual oppression. This conversation explores: ⇨ How addiction and destructive patterns can open doors you don’t recognize at the time ⇨ The reality of spiritual experiences that go beyond what we can explain ⇨ What true surrender actually looks like—and why it’s so hard to reach ⇨ What happens when God meets you at your lowest point. If you’ve ever felt stuck in patterns you can’t break, or wondered if there’s more going on beneath the surface, this story will challenge the way you see both darkness and freedom.

| I Thought I Found God… But Something Else Was Speaking - #166 Cheryl Pinto | 31 Mar 2026 | 02:53:33 | |
Raised in a religious home but left with unanswered questions, Cheryl walked away from faith and began searching for something more—something real, something powerful. That search led her deep into New Age spirituality: meditation, energy healing, spirit guides, and eventually ayahuasca ceremonies in the Amazon. What she experienced felt undeniable. She heard a voice. She saw things she couldn’t explain. She began accessing knowledge she didn’t have. It seemed like she was finally tapping into something real. But something wasn’t right. What she thought was spiritual… wasn’t from God. In this conversation, Cheryl shares how that path pulled her deeper into deception—and the moment everything shifted when she encountered the true presence of God. What followed wasn’t just clarity, but a confrontation between what had been influencing her and the Holy Spirit.

| I Asked God to Prove He Exists (And He Answered) - # 165 Josh Jung | 24 Mar 2026 | 02:23:55 | |
Josh Jung was raised in a deeply Christian environment. By the time he was young, he had already read the entire Bible multiple times and was immersed in faith. But the more he studied scripture, theology, and philosophy, the more difficult questions began to surface. Those questions eventually led him down a path few people expected. Josh didn’t just drift away from Christianity — he became a convinced atheist. Determined to understand the world through logic and reason alone, he spent years studying science, philosophy, and the strongest intellectual arguments against faith. Before walking away completely, Josh made one final challenge. He prayed a prayer unlike any he had ever prayed before. He asked God to prove He exists — and he set specific conditions for what that proof would have to look like. What followed began a series of events Josh could not explain. Experiences involving witnesses, repeated occurrences, and moments that defied every natural explanation he could come up with. In this conversation, Josh shares the journey that took him from childhood faith… to atheism… and ultimately back to belief through extraordinary supernatural encounters. If you’ve wrestled with doubt, asked hard questions about faith, or wondered whether God is still active in the world today, this story may challenge the way you think about belief. ----------------- ✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give -------------------------- ✟ Recommend a guest for us here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact- ------------------------- ✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith ------------------------ ✟ If you need prayer or deliverance, or if you would like to join us as a prayer partner, please visit our prayer resources page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer. ✟ If you are looking for a good faith-building book, visit our recommended books page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books. | |||
| She Hated God & Tried to Take Her Life: How the Throne Room Changed Everything - #164 Deborah Sharrock | 17 Mar 2026 | 02:46:04 | |
Deborah Sharrock grew up around Christianity—but by the time she was a teenager, she hated God and wanted nothing to do with Him. Behind the scenes, her life was unraveling as she battled deep emotional pain, eating disorders, isolation, and suicidal thoughts. By age 15 she believed life wasn’t worth living. Then one desperate prayer changed everything. At a youth retreat Deborah prayed, “God, if You’re real… show me.” Moments later she says she was given a vision of God on His throne, surrounded by overwhelming light and holiness. In that moment she realized two things at once: God was real—and He loved her. That encounter transformed a teenager who wanted to die into someone who began pursuing God with everything she had. ------------------- ✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give --------------------- ✟ Recommend a guest for us here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact --------------------- ✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith ------------------------ ✟ If you need prayer or deliverance, or if you would like to join us as a prayer partner, please visit our prayer resources page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer. ✟ If you are looking for a good faith-building book, visit our recommended books page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books. | |||
| I Loved Jesus — But I Needed the Holy Spirit - #163 Matt Judkins | 10 Mar 2026 | 02:30:45 | |
A pastor can preach every Sunday… and still sense something is missing. Matt Judkins loved Jesus. He believed the Bible. He led faithfully in ministry. From the outside, his life looked strong and successful. But behind the scenes, he was exhausted, anxious, and quietly wondering if this was what the rest of his life would feel like. He had experienced God’s love. He had answered the call to ministry. Yet he knew there had to be more. In this conversation, Matt shares the moment everything shifted — from burnout and striving in his own strength to a life marked by power, peace, and confidence through the baptism in the Holy Spirit. What happened during a simple prayer encounter didn’t just encourage him… it fundamentally changed how he leads, prays, and walks with God. ------------------------- ✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give -------------------------- ✟ Recommend a guest for us here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact -------------------------- ✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith ------------------------ ✟ If you need prayer or deliverance, or if you would like to join us as a prayer partner, please visit our prayer resources page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer. ✟ If you are looking for a good faith-building book, visit our recommended books page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books. | |||
| The Signs You Need Deliverance (But Didn't Know It) - #162 Jake Kail | 03 Mar 2026 | 02:49:26 | |
Deliverance is one of the most misunderstood topics in the Church. For some, it feels extreme. For others, it feels unnecessary. For many, it simply feels intimidating. In this conversation, Jake Kail brings clarity and biblical balance to what deliverance actually is — and what it is not. This episode is not about sensationalism or fear. It is about understanding spiritual authority and walking in lasting freedom. In this discussion, we cover: • What spiritual oppression really looks like • The difference between hype and healthy biblical practice • Why some struggles persist despite prayer and discipline • How authority in Christ functions in everyday life • How ordinary Christians can minister freedom to others • And yes, we address the debated question of whether believers can experience demonic oppression More than controversy, this episode is about confidence. Deliverance is not reserved for specialists. It is not about dramatic manifestations. It is about freedom in Christ.

| What Happens When You Live by the Spirit, Not the Flesh - #161 Alicia Wilson | 24 Feb 2026 | 02:25:42 | |
What does it actually mean to live by the Spirit — and not by the flesh? Alicia Wilson’s life has been marked by moments she cannot explain apart from God. From growing up in poverty in Jamaica to becoming captain of the Jamaican National Team, Alicia believed God was guiding her long before she understood why. But it wasn’t until a series of profound encounters — including a powerful experience with the Holy Spirit, a vision that brought Scripture to life, and a battle with cancer that reshaped how she understood identity, fear, and even death — that she began to understand what it means to live as spirit, not defined by temporary or carnal things. In this conversation, Alicia shares what she believes God showed her about being united with Him, learning to hear His voice, and living from a place of spiritual freedom rather than fear. Her story isn’t about chasing experiences — it’s about discovering what Scripture means when it says that God is Spirit, and how life changes when a person begins to live from that reality. ------------------------ ✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give -------------------------- ✟ Recommend a guest for us here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact -------------------------- ✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith ------------------------ ✟ If you need prayer or deliverance, or if you would like to join us as a prayer partner, please visit our prayer resources page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer. ✟ If you are looking for a good faith-building book, visit our recommended books page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books. | |||
| God Woke Me Up at 3AM — An Overnight Encounter with the Holy Spirit - #160 Emily Watson | 17 Feb 2026 | 01:45:19 | |
At 3 AM, God woke Emily Watson up — and what followed was an uncontrollable encounter with the Holy Spirit that permanently altered her life. After months of quiet depression, emotional numbness, and alcohol slowly taking hold, Emily found herself awake in the middle of the night with a clear prompting to open Scripture. As she read, the presence of the Holy Spirit overwhelmed her body — bursting forth in tongues, deep weeping, and a loss of control she could not generate or stop. At the same moment, her husband awoke from a vivid dream involving spiritual warfare — a parallel experience that confirmed something supernatural was unfolding in their home. From that night forward, everything changed. The desire to drink disappeared overnight. Scripture came alive. Holiness became urgent. What once required discipline was replaced by hunger. Emily believes what took place wasn’t emotionalism or coincidence — but deliverance and infilling by the Holy Spirit. This conversation explores what really happened that night, how to discern a genuine move of God, and why sudden, lasting transformation is one of the strongest evidences of the Holy Spirit at work today. ------------------- ✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give -------------------------- ✟ Recommend a guest for us here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact -------------------------- ✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith ------------------------ ✟ If you need prayer or deliverance, or if you would like to join us as a prayer partner, please visit our prayer resources page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer. ✟ If you are looking for a good faith-building book, visit our recommended books page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books. | |||
| We Bought a Haunted House and the Demonic Activity Multiplied - #159 Eric Davis | 10 Feb 2026 | 03:00:10 | |
When a remote plantation home became overrun with unexplained activity, that question stopped being theoretical. Strange figures appeared in rooms. Objects moved on their own. Disembodied voices were heard in the night. Dark presences were seen crossing the property and vanishing into nearby buildings. And multiple members of the same family began experiencing the same manifestations. For Eric Davis, what seemed like a paranormal haunting quickly became personal. As the activity intensified, it began affecting his marriage, his daughter, and his own mind. What started as curiosity turned into fear — and eventually into the realization that this wasn’t a ghost story at all, but a spiritual battle playing out in real time. In this powerful conversation, Eric shares how familiar spirits masqueraded as “hauntings,” how demonic activity followed him across multiple homes, and how he was forced to confront the biblical reality behind what most people label as paranormal. His story exposes what really happens when spiritual doors are opened — and how true freedom only comes through the authority of Jesus. -------------- LINK FOR ERIC'S BOOK DELIVERANCE AT SPRINGHILL PLANTATION: https://amzn.to/4t0qbIq LINK TO THE PRAYER OF FREEDOM BOOK BY BEATTY CARMICHAEL (mentioned in this episode) https://amzn.to/4pYGVgM LINK TO ORBIS MINISTRIES (mentioned in this episode for prayer and deliverance): https://orbisministries.org/ --------------- ✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give -------------------------- ✟ Recommend a guest for us here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact -------------------------- ✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith ------------------------ ✟ If you need prayer or deliverance, or if you would like to join us as a prayer partner, please visit our prayer resources page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer. ✟ If you are looking for a good faith-building book, visit our recommended books page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books. | |||
| I Met God and It Changed How I See Everything - #158 Lana Manley | 03 Feb 2026 | 02:18:23 | |
Lana Manley was fully awake in the middle of the night when God showed up in her bedroom — and nothing about her life looked the same afterward. She wasn’t dreaming. She wasn’t imagining it. She describes a commanding presence and a flood of thoughts that were not her own. In that moment, Lana experienced what she believes was the overwhelming holiness and perfection of God — not as a concept, but as a reality so powerful it left her physically unable to move and spiritually undone. What followed wasn’t just a moment — it lasted for days. Her body trembled. Her perception of people changed. The way she saw her life, her family, her work, and even herself was completely reordered. It felt as if a veil had been lifted and she was suddenly seeing the world through a lens she never knew existed. In this episode, Lana shares how encountering God’s holiness exposed blind spots she didn’t know she had, dismantled her sense of self-sufficiency, and awakened a depth of humility, clarity, and love she had never experienced before. ------------------------ ✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give -------------------------- ✟ Recommend a guest for us here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact -------------------------- ✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith ------------------------------------ ✟ If you need prayer or deliverance, or if you would like to join us as a prayer partner, please visit our prayer resources page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer. ✟ If you are looking for a good faith-building book, visit our recommended books page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books. | |||
| He Didn’t Believe in Jesus — Until He Saw Him - #157 Josh Smallwood | 27 Jan 2026 | 01:56:54 | |
For 37 years, Josh Smallwood didn’t reject God — he just couldn’t believe that Jesus was the answer. Raised with a general belief in God but deeply skeptical of Christianity, Josh searched for truth through reason, history, and evidence. Jesus felt too simple. Too easy. Too unlikely to be real. Josh’s journey began intellectually. As an agnostic, he started studying near-death experiences from people all over the world — skeptics, believers, people of different faiths — and noticed something he couldn’t explain. Their stories were remarkably consistent. The deeper he looked, the harder it became to dismiss the idea that there was more beyond this life. That search led him to examine the historical evidence for Jesus Himself. For the first time, Josh seriously considered whether Jesus was not just a good teacher or moral figure, but real — crucified, resurrected, and alive. As the evidence mounted, something unexpected happened. While reading about Jesus, Josh experienced a sudden, overwhelming encounter with the Holy Spirit — marked by uncontrollable emotion, repentance, and a deep sense that God was real and present. But the most profound moment came later. In a quiet, ordinary moment, Josh had a vision of Jesus that forever altered his understanding of God. He didn’t see condemnation. He didn’t hear judgment. What he encountered was love — a love so intense and personal that it left him undone. A love that felt closer than any human relationship he had ever known. A love that reframed his past pain, his grief, and even the moments when he wasn’t walking with God at all.

God spoke Howard Olsen’s name—and that moment didn’t just change his life, it commissioned it. After a season of crushing loss, depression, and suicidal despair, Howard had an encounter with God that launched him into a life marked by authority, healing, and miracles that continue to this day. In this powerful conversation, Howard shares how God intervened at the darkest point of his life—through unmistakable encounters, hearing God’s voice, and a supernatural commissioning that reshaped his purpose. But this episode doesn’t stop at testimony. Howard now walks in the authority God gave him, regularly witnessing healing, freedom, and transformation—and he explains how that same authority is available to every believer. This episode explores: - What it means to be commissioned by God, not just comforted - How authority in Christ is learned, practiced, and lived out - Why miracles and healing are not reserved for a select few - How obedience and intimacy with God lead to tangible fruit REACH HOWARD OLSEN HERE: https://howardolsen.com/ ------------------------ ✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give -------------------------- ✟ Recommend a guest for us here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact -------------------------- ✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith ------------------------------------ ✟ If you need prayer or deliverance, or if you would like to join us as a prayer partner, please visit our prayer resources page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer. ✟ If you are looking for a good faith-building book, visit our recommended books page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books. | |||
| How the Holy Spirit SHATTERED Everything I Believed - #155 Emanda Rosen | 13 Jan 2026 | 03:06:57 | |
For more than 25 years, Emanda Rosen followed Jesus faithfully, trusted Scripture, and built her life around the Christian faith. She believed in the Holy Spirit — but she also believed that the gifts of the Spirit were no longer something everyday Christians experienced. Prophecy. Healing. The baptism of the Holy Spirit. Those were biblical… but not for her. Or so she thought. Everything changed when God gently confronted that belief and invited her into something she never expected. In this episode, Emanda shares how God awakened her to the reality of the Holy Spirit in a deeply personal way — first by exposing her to the gifts she didn’t think were available today, and then through a powerful, tangible baptism in the Holy Spirit marked by overwhelming peace, joy, freedom, and a transformed prayer life and relationship with God. This is not a story of rebellion, emotionalism, or chasing experiences. It’s the story of a devoted Christian who loved Jesus sincerely — and discovered that God had more than she ever imagined. In this conversation, we explore: • Loving Jesus faithfully while believing the gifts of the Holy Spirit had ceased • How God awakens believers gently, not forcefully • The difference between believing in the Holy Spirit and being filled with Him • What the baptism of the Holy Spirit can look like today If you love Jesus, honor Scripture, and have ever wondered whether there might be more available in your walk with God — this conversation is for you.

| She Opposed Christianity — Until God Broke Through - #154 Nicole Coppola | 06 Jan 2026 | 02:27:34 | |
Nicole Coppola didn’t grow up searching for Jesus. She actively rejected Christianity, mocked it, and wanted nothing to do with God. What happened next wasn’t emotional, trendy, or explainable — it was personal, specific, and impossible for her to dismiss. Raised around spirituality but deeply opposed to Christianity, Nicole spent years pushing back against faith, questioning truth, and resisting the idea of a personal God. After losing her mother at a young age and her sister shortly after, she searched for meaning, certainty, and purpose — but found only frustration, unanswered questions, and resistance where faith was concerned. Then, unexpectedly, everything began to shift. In this conversation, Nicole shares how God broke through her opposition in ways she never anticipated — through moments she couldn’t explain away, a sudden spiritual awakening, and a series of deeply personal encounters that forced her to confront the reality of a God who is not distant, symbolic, or passive, but present, personal, and willing to meet people even when they are standing in opposition. This is not a story about becoming religious. It’s a story about awakening — about discovering that God is real, personal, and able to reach people who never intended to believe. If you’ve ever questioned Christianity, dismissed faith because of religious tradition, or felt resistance toward God — or if you know someone who has — this conversation may speak directly to where you are. --------------------------- Follow Nicole's Instagram here ⇨ https://www.instagram.com/carrideswithchrist/ -------------------------- ✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give -------------------------- ✟ Recommend a guest for us here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact -------------------------- ✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith ------------------------------------ ✟ If you need prayer or deliverance, or if you would like to join us as a prayer partner, please visit our prayer resources page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer. ✟ If you are looking for a good faith-building book, visit our recommended books page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books. | |||
| Jesus Pulled Me Out of Darkness I Couldn’t Escape - #153 Matthew Sutherlin | 22 Dec 2025 | 02:05:51 | |
Matthew Sutherlin didn’t just struggle with addiction — he was trapped in a darkness he couldn’t escape. Raised in the shadow of generational crime, prostitution, and addiction, Matthew’s life spiraled into IV meth use, sexual addiction, and deep New Age deception. Searching for freedom, he tried everything — yoga, manifestation, altered states, and radical sexual liberation — but the deeper he went, the more he realized something unsettling. This wasn’t just psychological. Something was controlling him. In this raw and honest conversation, Matthew shares how addiction became a doorway into spiritual oppression, how “losing inhibitions” only tightened the grip of darkness, and what it felt like to reach a place where he truly couldn’t stop. What followed wasn’t religion — it was a personal encounter that changed everything. In this episode, you’ll hear: ⇨ How generational darkness affected his life in ways he didn’t understand at first ⇨ Why New Age spirituality and self-mastery failed to bring freedom ⇨ The moment God broke through and began restoring what was lost ⇨ What real intimacy with Jesus looks like beyond church and belief ⇨ And how his wife was later healed from stage-4 cancer after doctors said there was no hope This isn’t a polished testimony. It’s the story of a man who lost everything — and found the One who could actually set him free. If you’ve ever wondered whether darkness is real…If you’ve questioned whether addiction is more than habit…Or if you’re searching for a God who doesn’t just forgive, but delivers — this conversation matters. ------------------------- ✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give -------------------------- ✟ Recommend a guest for us here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact -------------------------- ✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith ------------------------------------ ✟ If you need prayer or deliverance, or if you would like to join us as a prayer partner, please visit our prayer resources page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer. ✟ If you are looking for a good faith-building book, visit our recommended books page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books. | |||
| I Spoke in Tongues at 8… Then Darkness Came for Me - #152 Aleiya Dimaggio | 15 Dec 2025 | 02:36:34 | |
Aleiya Dimaggio was filled with the Holy Spirit at eight years old… but the darkness didn’t leave. Instead, it followed her into years of anxiety, addiction, and spiritual torment she didn’t know how to escape. Growing up in a home surrounded by addiction, rejection, bullying, self-harm, and crippling anxiety, Aleiya found herself tormented night after night — even after she tried to walk away from God completely. Everything began to change when she finally confronted the wounds she had carried for years. When Aleiya chose to forgive the father who left her and gave Jesus access to the deepest places of her pain, the demonic oppression she had lived under began to lose its grip. Today, the girl the enemy tried to destroy is walking in freedom — and helping others find it too — after years of spiritual battles that nearly took her life. ------------------------ ✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give -------------------------- ✟ Recommend a guest for us here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact -------------------------- ✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith ------------------------------------ ✟ If you need prayer or deliverance, or if you would like to join us as a prayer partner, please visit our prayer resources page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer. ✟ If you are looking for a good faith-building book, visit our recommended books page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books. | |||
| A Biblical Process for Healing That Actually Works — 90% Success Rate - #151 Beatty Carmichael | 08 Dec 2025 | 02:53:33 | |
What if there is a biblical process for healing that actually works — consistently? For years, Beatty Carmichael wrestled with the same questions so many Christians have: Why are so many believers sick? Why do our prayers for healing so often seem ineffective? That search led him into a Scripture-based discovery that is producing real, repeatable results — not because of a rare gift, but because it follows the spiritual mechanics God laid out for healing with a success rate approaching 90%. In this remarkable conversation, you’ll hear stories of people healed instantly in public places — RSD, degenerative disc disease, arthritis, glaucoma, anxiety, depression, addictions, and more. And you’ll learn the simple, powerful, biblically rooted process behind those healings that any believer can use. If you or someone you love has battled something for years, this may offer real hope. If you or someone you love is battling a condition that doctors haven’t fully been able to explain or resolve… If you’ve prayed for healing and wondered why nothing changed… If you want to walk in the authority Jesus gave His disciples… This conversation could unlock the breakthrough you’ve been praying for. God still heals. And He’s provided a Scriptural path that leads directly to freedom. ------------------------- GET THE BOOK AND CONNECT WITH BEATTY: ⇨ Get the book The Prayer of Freedom: https://amzn.to/4pRgfyz ⇨ Beatty’s Website: https://beattycarmichael.com/ ⇨ Prayer of Freedom Website: https://theprayeroffreedom.com/ ⇨ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/beattycarmichael/ ⇨ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BeattyCarmichaelTeaching ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@beattycarmichael1 -------------------------- ✟ Become a supporter of A Stronger Faith here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give -------------------------- ✟ Recommend a guest for us here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact -------------------------- ✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith ------------------------------------ ✟ If you need prayer or deliverance, or if you would like to join us as a prayer partner, please visit our prayer resources page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer. ✟ If you are looking for a good faith-building book, visit our recommended books page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books. | |||
| He Shattered My Religion: The Awakening That Made God PHYSICAL - #150 Kate Fagan | 01 Dec 2025 | 01:57:55 | |
Kate Fagan was a vocational minister in the Presbyterian church for over a decade. She loved the Bible, she loved God, and she was doing all the right things. But, as she reveals in this powerful conversation, she was dying inside. Despite being steeped in a tradition that prizes biblical knowledge and order, Kate's heart had grown cold. She was unknowingly living as a "functional cessationist"—believing God to be distant, predictable, and confined to the systems she could control. She was guarding her heart against the "wild and unpredictable" nature of the Holy Spirit, prioritizing self-preservation over intimacy. This pursuit of safety led to a crisis: a deep spiritual burnout, bitterness after losing her job, and a panic attack that literally broke her on her kitchen floor. It was the moment God intervened. He shattered the walls of her religious spirit and answered the desperate prayer: "God, will you make me a daughter of the narrow way?" She shares the story of her three intense, physical encounters with the Holy Spirit—a visceral fire and warmth in her chest that melted her hard-heartedness and proved that the abundant life in Christ is a fearless life. This episode is a must-watch for anyone who feels stuck in the motions of a "nice Christian life" but is starving for the genuine, earth-shaking, and life-changing love of God. The revival has started, and God wants to do more than you can imagine. ----------------------- REACH KATE HERE: ⇨ Website: https://www.katefaganstudio.com/ ⇨ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/ @BornandBecoming ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katefaganstudio/ ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KateKateKateKateKateKateKateKate ------------------------- ✟ Become a supporter of A Stronger Faith here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give -------------------------- ✟ Recommend a guest for us here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact -------------------------- ✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith ------------------------------------ ✟ If you need prayer or deliverance, or if you would like to join us as a prayer partner, please visit our prayer resources page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer. ✟ If you are looking for a good faith-building book, visit our recommended books page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books. | |||
| A Demonic Encounter and Ayahuasca Woke Me UP - NEW AGE TO JESUS TESTIMONY - #149 Lacey Bahns | 24 Nov 2025 | 02:29:11 | |
Lacey Bahns spent nearly a decade deep inside New Age spirituality — yoga, Reiki, crystals, astrology, angel cards, manifestation coaching, channeling, plant medicine, ayahuasca, and more. What began as a search for healing and “higher consciousness” slowly opened dark spiritual doors she never expected. Her turning point came through two life-altering moments: a terrifying demonic encounter in the middle of the night and a desperate prayer in an ambulance as her infant daughter struggled to breathe. Both encounters pushed her to ask the question she had avoided her entire life: What if the truth I’ve been searching for has been in front of me all along? Nine months after buying her very first Bible, Lacey finished reading it cover-to-cover — and everything changed. Peace replaced fear. Hope replaced anxiety.

Justin Morris and his wife believed they were channeling divine beings—until they discovered the truth: the “angels” they welcomed were demons. After years in the New Age, crystals, channeling, and “energy healing,” tragedy struck when their infant daughter passed away.

| What Witchcraft Really Does — From Demonic Bondage to Freedom in Jesus - #147 Hilary Sans | 10 Nov 2025 | 02:03:18 | |
She searched for peace through witchcraft, crystals, and the New Age—until the darkness she welcomed started fighting back. Hilary Sans grew up in a house filled with strange noises, unseen presences, and a darkness she couldn’t explain.

When the weight of that darkness became unbearable, she cried out to Jesus. In that moment, everything she thought she knew about the spiritual world was turned upside down.
