• I Lived in Chronic Pain for a Year—Then God Did the Impossible - #176 Mandy Arriola 09.06.2026 1val 54min

  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 thoughtsThis 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 02.06.2026 2val 50min

  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 believersWhether 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.

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.

• The Doctor Said He Was DYING, Then a SINGLE FINGER Touched His Back - # 173 John Reed 19.05.2026 2val 25min

  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.

  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 05.05.2026 2val 47min

  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?Key Bible Verses for Further Study:⇨ Proverbs 3:5–6⇨ James 4:8⇨ Luke 15:20--------------✟ 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 Was Taught Miracles Had Stopped—Then I Experienced God - #170 Jesse Schlabach 28.04.2026 2val 34min

  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?Key Bible Verses for further study:⇨ Romans 8:1–2 ⇨ 1 John 5:13–15⇨ Isaiah 43:1–4-----------------✟ 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.
• Atheist Calls Out to the "Universe"… and JESUS Showed Up - #169 Lucy Meadows 21.04.2026 2val 47min

  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 GodIf you’ve ever questioned whether God is real—or wondered what would happen if you genuinely reached out—this conversation will challenge you.LINK TO BOOK MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:⇨ The Prayer of Freedom, Beatty Carmichael ⇨ https://amzn.to/4sOwopI---------------CONNECT WITH LUCY HERE ⇨ https://lumeadows.com/----------------✟ ✟ ✟ NEW! ✟ ✟ ✟SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS from this episode:⇨ How can believers reflect Christ more faithfully to people who have been wounded by the church?⇨ Have you ever experienced God in a way that changed your understanding of Him?

  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 07.04.2026 2val 16min

  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.MICHELLE'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL ⇨ https://www.youtube.com/@UCSU1LFeNGyGkKVYcsMr1sbQ MICHELLE'S WEBSITE ⇨ https://www.isurrenderall.me/----------------✟ 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 Thought I Found God… But Something Else Was Speaking - #166 Cheryl Pinto 31.03.2026 2val 53min

  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.

• I Asked God to Prove He Exists (And He Answered) - # 165 Josh Jung 24.03.2026 2val 23min

  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.

  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 10.03.2026 2val 30min

  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.

• What Happens When You Live by the Spirit, Not the Flesh - #161 Alicia Wilson 24.02.2026 2val 25min

  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 17.02.2026 1val 45min

  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 10.02.2026 3val

  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/4t0qbIqLINK TO THE PRAYER OF FREEDOM BOOK BY BEATTY CARMICHAEL (mentioned in this episode) https://amzn.to/4pYGVgMLINK 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 03.02.2026 2val 18min

  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 27.01.2026 1val 56min

  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.In this conversation, Josh shares:• Why he couldn’t believe in Jesus for most of his life• How evidence and reason led him to faith• What it felt like to experience the Holy Spirit for the first time• The vision of Jesus that changed how he understands God’s love• Why Christianity became personal — not religious• How his faith continues to shape his daily life--------------Link to More Than a Carpenter, the book that influenced Josh to Jesus - https://amzn.to/4sXY0dn------------------------✟ 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.
