142. From Chronic Pain to Healing Rain with Sue Detweiler

Have you been seeking healing for yourself or your loved ones? Do you continue to hit walls of resistance as you pursue healing? Sue Detweiler, author and international speaker, shares about the true power and authority God gives us to receive healing. She wrote the book Healing Rain and talks about how we each can experience the healing God intends for us in mind, body and spirit. We need to position ourselves to immerse ourselves in Christ’s love to find wholeness in mind, body and heart. Many of us struggle to position ourselves to receive. Sue talks about faith, miracles, the inner workings on where we can get stuck, when we have chronic issues, auto immune disorders and incurable issues. She creates an invitation for us to have breakthrough for our own healing. She shares her testimony of losing her adopted son from an apparent overdose even though he has been clean for 5 months, as well as her own journey through chronic pain and many diagnoses in her body. She also talks about being a woman in ministry, being honest with Jesus and how our bodies have been made to heal. You will be stirred in your faith as you listen to Sue’s love for Jesus and her history in ministry. God wants to use every Christian to heal, not just super giants of faith or healing evangelists. “Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed”. ~Isaiah 53:4-5“And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.” ~Mark 16:17-18 Sue’s website: https://suedetweiler.com/ To purchase the book Healing Rain: https://www.amazon.com/Healing-Rain-Immersing-Yourself-Wholeness/dp/080076305X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=36PS0YRLBSOW0&keywords=healing+rain+sue+detweiler&qid=1697971530&sprefix=healing+rain+su%2Caps%2C97&sr=8-1 Heidi’s website: https://heidimortensonlmft.com/ If you are in crisis, help is available by call or text 1-800-273-8255 24/7.

141. Panic Attacks to Curious Wonder with Matt Beckenham

Have you found yourself questioning faith, God, the Holy Spirit and the Bible? Do you wonder where the tangible experience and truth is? From Australia, Matt Beckenham grew up a pastor’s kid and went on to pastor for 20 years. At the age of 38 years old, his marriage and life fell apart and he found himself at ground zero. He experienced anxiety and panic attacks and had to learn how to present in each moment. He didn’t shift overnight but experienced hour by hour revelations and changes. He started asking God real and practical questions. He wanted to get out of the theory and into the practical. He wanted to know how God brings these great truths to be powerful expressions of seeing God work in our life. You will hear about Matt’s powerful transformational journey that took him into God’s original design for him from the beginning: the garden of Eden. It’s not about the instantaneous, it’s about the journey. His book, Eden’s Blueprint, is an invitation to feast on the divine revelations Father God has entrusted Matt to share. Through this interview, you will experience a powerful invitation for yourself to be drawn back to God’s plan for your life.“Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” ~John 13:34“Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.” ~2 Peter 1:4Matt’s website: https://www.greaterthingsinternational.com/Purchase Eden’s Blueprint: https://www.amazon.com/Edens-Blueprint-Gods-Began-Design/dp/B0BHMZTQW4/ref=sr_1_1?crid=Q4VLZ1XNRFO&keywords=eden%27s+blueprint&qid=1697229107&sprefix=eden%27s+blueprint%2Caps%2C106&sr=8-1Heidi’s website: https://heidimortensonlmft.com/If you are in crisis, help is available by call or text 1-800-273-8255 24/7.

140. God’s Mercy and Compassion for YOU First

Do you sometimes find yourself judging or being too critical of others? In one moment do you have compassion and the next you are frustrated? Understanding God’s mercy can be difficult when we have experienced pain that goes deep and has lasted a long time. We can forgive and let go of resentment but to actually have compassion is a different story. In this episode, you will hear about the powerful reality of God’s mercy on us first so we can release it to others. You will hear about how the Old Testament story of Jonah and the whale wasn’t about rebellion but anger at God’s compassion. If we are truly honest with ourselves, we can get just like this. Be encouraged to experience ministry and prayer in this episode on mercy and compassion for YOU first. “So he prayed to the LORD, saying, “O LORD, is this not what I said while I was still in my own country? This is why I was so quick to flee toward Tarshish. I knew that You are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion—One who relents from sending disaster.” ~Jonah 4:2 “For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.” ~James 2:13 “And he cried out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” ~Luke 18:38 Find more about Heidi: www.heidimortensonlmft.com Purchase the book The Brave Encourager: https://www.amazon.com/Brave-Encourager-Power-Encouragement-Changes/dp/B09TN45H36/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3HGP5FPY2E5GD&keywords=the+brave+encourager&qid=1646608516&sprefix=the+brave+encourager%2Caps%2C223&sr=8-1 Join my mailing list: https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/t5u2y5 If you are in crisis, help is available by call or text 1-800-273-8255 24/7.

139. The Domino Revival with Pastor Mike Signorelli

Do we bow in fear or stand for truth? Do you believe that God can heal mental health and addiction symptoms today? God is doing things today that we have never seem before. Many are against what is happened and even say it’s not God. Pastor Michael Signorelli, pastor of V1 Church in New York, one of the fastest growing churches in America, takes us on a journey with his new movie coming out October 24, 2023 called Domino Revival. As the hunger for the supernatural and spiritual significance in our society continues to grow, and many turn to new age spirituality, The Domino Revival shows the true power of Jesus Christ on display through the preaching of the Gospel, medically verified miracles, overcoming the darkness of despair and deliverance from demons. Pastor Mike shares his personal testimony of how he was a young boy hungry for God and the struggles he had in his marriage. He doesn’t hold anything back in this engaging and powerful interview! The bible isn’t the story of what happened. It’s the story of what always happens. Society is attempting to re-define right and wrong. We are hurting. Addiction, mental health and suicide is rising at a staggering rate. When are we the church going to stand up and be a part of the solution? But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. ~1 Corinthians 1:27 Trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXZjVreHjZM Information, Tickets and Theater Locations: www.fathomevents.com/events/The-Domino-Revival V1 Church: https://v1.church/ Pastor Michael’s website: https://mikesignorelli.com/ Heidi’s website: https://heidimortensonlmft.com/ If you are in crisis, help is available by call or text 1-800-273-8255 24/7.

138. Secrets to Generational Curses with Dr. Alexander Pagani

Do you desire advanced revelation? Did you know that science supports generational curses? Do you believe in generational curses and demonization? Be encouraged with much revelation in this interview with well-known demon slayer, Dr. Alexander Pagani, and mental health therapist Heidi Mortenson. Nothing is held back in this rich in-depth interview about deliverance, generational curses, mental health, epigenetics, arrested development, doing your own work, trusting the Holy Spirit through people and Biblical revelation. Alexander Pagani came from a single parent home in the south Bronx in 1970s, gang and drug culture. He was in a juvenile detention center by the age of 14 and faced prison at the age of 16. He had a supernatural encounter with Jesus in prison that forever changed his life. After being called into ministry and pastoring a church, he found himself addicted to porn once cell phones became. He used to preach against deliverance and didn’t believe Christians could have a demon, yet he had a demon himself. He now has 2 best-selling books about the topics of deliverance and generational curses, and is known as one of the demon slayers. We need to allow the Holy Spirit to do the assimilation instead of controlling ourselves and others. You will have many aha moments throughout this interview and most importantly, be drawn closer to God. “It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter.” Proverbs 25:2 “When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.” ~1 Corinthians 13:11 “Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me.” ~Psalm 51:5 Follow Alexander Pagani on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/alexanderpaganiministries Purchase the book The Secrets to Generational Curses: https://www.amazon.com/Secrets-Generational-Curses-Stronghold-Bloodline/dp/162999605X/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2UT2MUOUZSKVK&keywords=alexander+pagani&qid=1695552620&sprefix=alexendaer+pa%2Caps%2C104&sr=8-3 Amazing Church: https://amazingchurch.nyc/ Heidi’s website: https://heidimortensonlmft.com/ If you are in crisis, help is available by call or text 1-800-273-8255 24/7.

137. Keys for Mental Health Freedom

Do you need some refreshment? Do you feel like you’re far away from your goals and your purpose? Sometimes we just need to be reminded of the things we are doing well at, and a few tips and tricks to help us be in a better mind space. Or we need a little help to be re-directed to where God designed us – right where we are. We can beat ourselves up so much that God doesn’t get an opportunity to get space to speak. In this episode, you will hear some keys to mental health freedom that Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Heidi Mortenson has learned over the 2 years of podcasting with amazing guests and teachings, as well as being a mental health counselor in private practice. You will hear about mental fitness, the window of tolerance, the importance of receiving, acceptance, true identity and allowing the Holy Spirit to be your teacher. “The anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.” ~1 John 2:27 “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” ~Philippians 4:6-7 Find more about Heidi: www.heidimortensonlmft.com Purchase the book The Brave Encourager: https://www.amazon.com/Brave-Encourager-Power-Encouragement-Changes/dp/B09TN45H36/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3HGP5FPY2E5GD&keywords=the+brave+encourager&qid=1646608516&sprefix=the+brave+encourager%2Caps%2C223&sr=8-1 Join my mailing list: https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/t5u2y5 If you are in crisis, help is available by call or text 1-800-273-8255 24/7.

136. Faith over Rebellion with Terry Minor Jr.

Are you a Christian parent with a teenager who is rebelling? Are you worried about your teen or child wanting to find out what is outside of Christianity? Listen to Terry Minor Junior’s powerful testimony of being raised in the church then struggling with suicidal thinking, pornography and fornication. He shares how his parents stood firm on God’s word and God’s love. He was taught by the Holy Spirit how to love God for himself. He eventually obeyed his call to ministry and now preaches, creates music and raps! Terry grew up as a PK (preacher’s kid) in Knoxville, TN in church. He experienced FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) from all the others kids and the world when he was a teen. Later he realized that the enemy was using FOMO and he was not missing out. He is so thankful for the parents he had raising up correctly to get back to faith. Even in the midst of being in a Christian home, kids can still allow outside influence in. The enemy can entice kids to “taste and see” what’s out there and they learn the hard way. The biggest truth that he learned was that he needed to know Jesus for himself. Jesus knows exactly how we feel and can relate to everything we have been tempted by because he was a man as well as spirit. God’s love NEVER changed no matter what choices he made outside of the church. He parents never wavered on the Word of God and their faith for their son Terry. Hear this rich interview with much wisdom, laughs and encouragement for your family to stand firm on the power of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.” ~John 14:26 “I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you will have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world, [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.] ~John 16:33 AMPC Terry’s website: https://www.terryminorjr.com/ Heidi’s website: https://heidimortensonlmft.com/ If you are in crisis, help is available by call or text 1-800-273-8255 24/7.

135. What Happened to You? How to Be Trauma Informed

Would you prefer the question what happened to you verses wrong is wrong with you? Do you know what it means to be trauma informed? We may believe that we do a good job of being somewhat aware of trauma, but there are things we could be missing. When we aren’t properly trauma informed, we can cause other’s lives to be even more traumatized without even realizing it. AND, we can be even more traumatized ourselves. In this episode, you will hear about what it means to be trauma informed and what we can do to be more trauma informed. This is effective in our homes, workplaces, social settings, churches and basic community. “The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” ~Psalm 34:18 “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” ~Psalm 147:3 Find more about Heidi: www.heidimortensonlmft.com Purchase the book The Brave Encourager: https://www.amazon.com/Brave-Encourager-Power-Encouragement-Changes/dp/B09TN45H36/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3HGP5FPY2E5GD&keywords=the+brave+encourager&qid=1646608516&sprefix=the+brave+encourager%2Caps%2C223&sr=8-1 Join my mailing list: https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/t5u2y5 If you are in crisis, help is available by call or text 1-800-273-8255 24/7.

134. Cast It Out with Pastor Greg Locke

Can we just get partly delivered? How do we experience demons coming back 7 times worse than before? What is demonic compounded interest? In this fascinating interview with pastor Greg Locke, from Global Vision Bible Church, he talks about his new book “Cast It Out”. Nothing is held back in this interview, and topics such as what he actually thinks about mental health, how we get some Bible verses wrong, why he does mass deliverance, repeat customers and more. You will come to more of an understand of the power and purpose behind deliverance and why all followers of Christ are called to cast out demons. Pastor Locke spent years preaching against the ministry of deliverance and thought it was foolish nonsense. God has given him powerful revelation that takes away the denominational lenses so we can hear the Bible really says. Demons are expelled through deliverance, strongholds are brought down through discipline, and curses are broken by decree. We are not meant to experience deliverance slightly or to stay in bondage, we are meant to walk in full freedom. “These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons.” ~Mark 16:17 “If I cast out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.” ~Luke 11:20 Global Vision Bible Church: https://globalvisionbc.com/ To purchase the book Cast It Out: https://www.amazon.com/Cast-Out-Call-People-Free/dp/1636413412/ref=sr_1_1?crid=37LOXW2F76EET&keywords=greg+locke&qid=1693132959&sprefix=greg+locke%2Caps%2C101&sr=8-1 The movie: https://www.comeoutinjesusname.com/    Heidi’s website: https://heidimortensonlmft.com/ If you are in crisis, help is available by call or text 1-800-273-8255 24/7.

Are you finding yourself distracted and not feeling like praying? Is there a demon behind every rock? How do we discern if we need to close a door that was open to demonic influence? Hear this powerful interview with Angela Greenig, a seer, prayer intercessor and a violet warrior for God. She has been in ministry for over 40 years.

She was married and divorced a few times. She had to come to the place where God was all she had and she needed to trust Him. We need to know there is a purpose and a plan for our life.
