A Breakthrough Approach to Healing and Restoration

If you’ve been battling persistent struggles—chronic pain, trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, or even suicidal thoughts—and nothing seems to work, you’re not alone.

You don’t have to stay stuck in torment—there is now a path to real, lasting freedom

What most people don’t realize is that these torments often have a spiritual root, embedded in spiritual laws that few understand. That’s why traditional solutions may offer temporary relief but rarely bring lasting change.

The Prayer of Freedom introduces a breakthrough approach—one that uses a science-based process of prayer to remove the spiritual root behind the issue.

The result? Freedom that lasts. And it’s not just for mental health—it applies to every area of life where torment takes hold

Beatty Carmichael is a teacher and speaker who has spent decades exploring how spiritual laws impact healing, freedom, and personal transformation. His approach has been used in prisons, recovery centers, and in communities across the country.

Mark is joined today by JB Hixson, author of The Great Last Days Apostasy: How the American Church Is Falling Away.

Something has gone terribly wrong in the American church, and few people are talking about it. Worldly ideologies have obscured biblical truth, feel-good messages have replaced sound doctrine, and the faith of many is crumbling under deception. The Bible warns of a great apostasy as this present age draws to a close. The closer we get to the Lord's return the further the Church is falling away from Him. The Great Last Days Apostasy exposes the evidence of this alarming departure. Will the remnant arise and be found “without spot and blameless at our Lord Jesus Christ’s appearing” (1 Timothy 6:14)?

Mark speaks this week with Karl Clauson, author of the book Killing Sin. Karl is the host of Moody Radio's Karl and Crew, a nationally syndicated radio program, and is Lead Pastor of 180 Chicago Church.

Kill what’s killing you.

Every fiber of you aches to distance yourself from something holding you back—that one thing that is killing you. Pastor Karl Clauson understands.

How can we take hold of God’s promises and walk in freedom—not just for a day or a week but a sustained, lasting victory? In Killing Sin, Karl is honest about his own personal battles and draws from his decades of experience helping people conquer sin to show us the pathway to freedom.

Sin separates us from God, what Jesus saves us from, and what the Holy Spirit gives us power to overcome. Karl presents behavioral habits that hold you back, an understanding of how change happens, and strategies for winning wars grounded in Scripture. No longer do you need to hide or suffer alone. Killing Sin shows you how to successfully fight temptation and overcome the sin in your life.

Mark is joined today by MaryAnn Diorio, author of the book The Iron Saint.

The Church in America is on the verge of a tremendous spiritual awakening, an awakening that will first be fueled by persecution unlike anything we have ever seen before in this land. Indeed, a prophetic word given in my home church during the month of November gave this warning to the Church: "Prepare for the fire of persecution!"But the Church is not ready for this persecution. For the most part, the Church in America has been weak and lukewarm. Flabby and lazy. Consumed with the world and not with the things of God. As a result, the Church has been deceived and has subverted the divine order of things.In THE IRON SAINT, Dr. MaryAnn Diorio seeks to help equip the saints for the work of true, integritous, and effective ministry. As a teacher in the Body of Christ, it is her burning desire to help correct this devastating error. In THE IRON SAINT, Dr. Diorio has outlined a plan of action for strengthening the Church through uncompromising obedience to the Word of God. This plan of action is based on her own 50 years of walking with the Lord and being led by His Holy Spirit.If you are a born-again believer and member of the Body of Christ, make this book a top reading priority.
