  Jesus Appeared to Her at 10... Then Everything He Said Came True. - #184 Eileen Mestas 04.08.2026 2u 38min

  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

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.If you've ever questioned whether God is real, wondered if He still speaks today, or felt like you've gone too far for His grace, this conversation is for you.If this conversation encouraged you, share your thoughts in the comments.

  Jesus Showed Me I Was Channeling Demons for Fame - #182 Jay Bonisolli 21.07.2026 2u 23min

  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 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 freedomWhether 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 07.07.2026 2u 25min

  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 healDid 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 30.06.2026 2u 42min

  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 forgivenessThis 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 23.06.2026 2u 16min

  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 09.06.2026 1u 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 2u 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.

  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.

  The Doctor Said He Was DYING, Then a SINGLE FINGER Touched His Back - # 173 John Reed 19.05.2026 2u 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.

  I Felt Like I Was on Fire… Then She Called Me Out in Front of Everyone - # 171 Natalie Roe 05.05.2026 2u 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 2u 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 2u 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?

  God Taught Me Music Overnight… But That Was Just the Beginning - # 168 Katie Peters 14.04.2026 2u 39min

  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 2u 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 2u 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. What followed wasn’t just clarity, but a confrontation between what had been influencing her and the Holy Spirit.Cheryl's YouTube Channel ⇨ https://www.youtube.com/@TheSupernaturalTruth----------------✟ 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 Asked God to Prove He Exists (And He Answered) - # 165 Josh Jung 24.03.2026 2u 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.
