In this conversation, Ken Fish welcomes back theologian, prophet, and thought leader Dr. Mark Chironna to explore the powerful intersection of spiritual formation, academic rigor, emotional healing, and prophetic identity. With stories from his own life—marked by both trauma and triumph—Mark reflects on how pain, education, and mystical encounters shape our spiritual calling.
This episode takes listeners through Dr. Chironna’s journey from student to musician, to preacher, to prophetic theologian with multiple doctorates. Along the way, he unpacks themes of father wounds, intellectual struggle, the masking of the self, and how God's love disarms our defenses.
