In this powerful and deeply moving episode, I sit down with Elijah Defries to hear his remarkable journey of redemption and faith.

Together, we explore the profound topics of scripture, the Bible, and the transformative walk with Christ that led him to leave the LGBTQ community. This conversation also dives into the struggles of sin and temptation, the importance of community in faith, and the unshakable truth of God’s grace.

In this transformative episode, I sit down with Ryan Albury to explore what it means to be a man in today’s world. We dive deep into the cultural war on masculinity and discuss the missing initiations of manhood that leave many men without a clear roadmap to maturity. Ryan reflects on how traditional rites of passage and lessons about responsibility, strength, and purpose—things we were never taught in school—are critical for shaping a man’s identity. Ryan shares his journey from the new age movement to finding faith in Jesus Christ, unpacking the narrow path of Christianity and how it acts as a profound maturing process. He describes how living a Christ-centered life fosters a different way of being—one rooted in integrity, self-discipline, and purpose. We also examine the impact of historical movements such as the free love and feminist movements, and how these societal shifts influenced men, leaving many feeling disoriented and causing some to give up on women altogether. Our conversation emphasizes the value of a woman through the lens of scripture, underscoring the importance of honoring and cherishing women in building God-centered relationships and communities. Ryan offers practical advice on healing relationships as a Christian, emphasizing forgiveness, humility, and grace as essential tools for nurturing bonds between men and women. Together, we explore how Christ’s teachings provide a timeless blueprint for restoration, respect, and enduring love.

In this compelling episode, Rev. Dr. Rob Reimer unpacks deep spiritual truths about forgiveness, fear, healing wounds, and deliverance ministry. Together, we explore how these areas impact our emotional and spiritual well-being, offering practical steps for finding freedom and restoration through Christ. Forgiveness is a key theme, as Rob explains how everyone experiences hurt in life. Choosing not to forgive leads to a distorted perspective, creating what he calls a “tainted lens.” This unforgiveness not only harms our relationships but gives the enemy a foothold in our lives. Fear is another area we dive into, with Rob shedding light on why "Fear not" is the most repeated command in Scripture—appearing over 365 times. God’s promise to “fear not” isn’t about avoiding pain or hardship but about His presence with us through every trial. This eternal perspective shifts our focus from earthly struggles to our identity as sons & daughters of the King, reminding us that our ultimate hope lyes in our heavenly citizenship. We also delve into the universal experience of wounds. Even Jesus, described as a man of sorrows, was wounded. Rob explains how God can redeem our pain, turning us into “wounded healers” who bring hope and healing to others. This chapter from his book highlights how we can surrender our wounds to God and experience profound restoration. One of the most powerful discussions centers on deliverance ministry, a practice often neglected by the modern church but central to Jesus’ mission. Rob shares how demonic oppression can manifest in areas like anxiety, depression, and addiction, and why deliverance is essential for true freedom. He offers practical insights into recognizing & addressing demonic influence, emphasizing that Jesus' ministry of casting out demons is as relevant today as it was in biblical times. The episode is filled with heartfelt testimonies, including stories of individuals freed from decades of torment after attending soul care conferences. Rob underscores the urgency for the church to reclaim its biblical mandate to preach, heal, and cast out demons, calling the neglect of deliverance ministry “cosmic treason.” Lisa reflects on her own experiences with deliverance, sharing how acknowledging the reality of evil led to greater freedom and peace in her life. This episode is a powerful reminder that healing and freedom are available to everyone through the ministry of Jesus. Forgiveness, courage, and deliverance are essential steps toward living a life of spiritual wholeness. Guest Bio: Rev.
