Few topics spark as much debate in Christian theology as the question of whether the miraculous sign gifts still exist today.

In this episode of Honest Christian Conversations, Ana sits down with Chad Wagner, pastor of Excelsior Springs Church in Missouri, to explore the biblical discussion surrounding sign gifts such as speaking in tongues, prophecy, and other miraculous manifestations.

Chad shares his perspective that these gifts were given for a specific purpose in the early church and were never intended to continue indefinitely. Together, they examine Scripture and discuss how Christians should think carefully about spiritual gifts, biblical authority, and modern interpretations of these passages.

This conversation encourages listeners to study Scripture carefully and seek a deeper understanding of how God works through His church today.

What do you believe Scripture teaches about the continuation—or cessation—of the sign gifts?

Few topics spark more debate in modern Christian circles than the question of whether a Christian can be demon-possessed.

In this episode of Honest Christian Conversations, Ana speaks with Dawn Hill, a former false prophet who spent nearly two decades deeply involved in New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) and deliverance ministry teachings.

Together, they explore the claims often made about demon possession and Christians while encouraging believers to approach the topic with discernment and a commitment to biblical truth.

This conversation challenges listeners to think carefully about spiritual warfare, deliverance ministry, and what the Bible actually teaches about the authority and freedom believers have in Christ.

Many believers feel a deep burden to help others come to faith—but what happens when that burden turns into the belief that someone’s salvation depends entirely on us?

In this episode of Honest Christian Conversations, Ana sits down with Audrey Dutton, host of the Eat Me, Drink Me podcast, who shares her powerful testimony of transformation from a satanic atheist to a devoted follower of Jesus.

Audrey’s story challenges common assumptions about faith, responsibility, and evangelism. Through her journey, we are reminded that while Christians are called to share the truth, it is ultimately God who transforms hearts.

This conversation offers encouragement to believers who may feel overwhelmed by the pressure to “save” others and reminds us to trust God with the work only He can do.
