March 25, 2024 173. Ministering to Prisoners - Special Taping with Charlie Owens
My first-ever mission trip to prison was with a friend of the show Charlie Owens!

Who went Viral on TikTok for 3 reasons:
1. God has anointed his ministry
2. He's a walking Bible & drops nuggets you never heard
3. Because he's a storyteller who draws you in & brings you closer to Christ!
Come join us by the campfire and hear a deeper layer of Charlie's story. We dive into his heart for prison missions as he and I reflect on the first one we did TOGETHER in Bridgeport Texas. From there we unpack deeper truths about Jesus, Barnabas, and the thief on the cross who had a name! We also unpack the time Charlie tried to hang himself in a cell and the tough days he experienced in the psych-word after losing his mom, his wife, and his son in the same year while incarcerated.
Charlie also opened up about 9 churches kicking him out before he found a church that would accept him for who he was NOW in Christ and not who he was before Him. A powerful reminder and reflection of the POWER of JESUS in a man's life! Don't miss this one!

WE BACK! Another collaboration between myself and Pastor Troy Brewer! This time we are in front of a live audience in a beautiful venue in Fort Worth Texas called Launchbox Collective!
Pastor Troy and Zach Rippey open up about their deep love for Uganda, Troy drops knowledge about the upcoming solar eclipse, and the two jokesters can't help but laugh and cut up with the crowd as the stories and deep dives into ministry and King Jesus unfold.
We also dive DEEP into Marriage! One of the best convos about marriage I've ever had on the pod!
The big takeaway of the night was JESUS IS THE ONE ON THE THRONE! Find peace in that and rest in that reality as 2024 moves along! We did a LIVE Q&A with Pastor Troy and the questions asked were super interesting! Tune in now!

March 04, 2024 171. Shining Light on the Darkness - with Neana Willis
Neana Willis drops by the Throne Room to shine the light on the darkness that she's kept quiet about for decades. After being molested and sexually assaulted at a young age her addictions to sex and food brought her to a place of complete surrender to God.
She gave her life to Christ and three months later she met her husband, who valued her in a way she's never been valued before. The two of them have battled through their own spiritual strongholds but have kept each other accountable along the way. Now Neana is shining the light on the darkness while encouraging others to do the same to experience healing, deliverance, and FREEDOM!
Neana Willis is a licensed counselor who recently launched her own counseling business after 10 years of being a school teacher. She proudly holds a master's degree and gives all GLORY to God for where she is in life now! She's a mom who is hungry for the deeper things of God in everything she does.

February 12, 2024 169. Two Roomies Bringing Down the House for God - with Savannah May & Taila Clinkscales
Two friends from my church come on and we get real!
We open up the floor for much-needed conversations around the topics of pornography and the strongholds it had on us before Christ. We lean into purity while bringing truth to the table.
From there, Savannah shares her testimony of losing her mom at 11 years old and growing up without her. From suicidal thoughts to abusive relationships, all while living life separated from God.
Baptism was how Savannah celebrated her most recent birthday and witnessed over 300 people experience it with her!
Savannah went from drinking at bonfires to being baptized in water and being on fire for Jesus!
Taila reveals visions she's had, gets vulnerable with people about worship, and passionately shares her love for Christ. We hear about the prophetic words she received over her life.
Their friendship is infectious and joy burns bright for Jesus!
You will laugh, think, and feel like you are a part of the convo with us! Zach shares some special news for all the patrons!

January 10, 2024 166. OVERFLOW - The Good Shepherd Provides (Psalms 23)
You will OVERFLOW this year in all the ways God Provides for You!
God provides our spiritual needs, our directional needs, our physical needs, and our emotional needs as we see in the first five verses…. But most importantly he supplies our eternal needs.
Put on the jersey of Christ for 2024 and wear it everywhere you go. You do that by putting on the Armor of God, the shield of faith, and the helmet of salvation!
If we take this mindset and sow into the spirit of God we will reap from it.
When you sow the love of God, you will reap the love of God.
It’s a spiritual law I am living in and the testimony shared on this one reflects that.

December 28, 2023 165. Do It For The One - with Troy Brewer
Pastor Troy Brewer represents our ministry mission of "Do It For the One" in every aspect of his life.
We are a testament to that truth as Troy blessed I Like Birds and lit a fire under our ministry with life-changing words, life-giving encouragement, and life-bearing fruit.
He is a pastor I’ve looked up to for years as he was one of the few kingdom voices who spoke out against the 2020 nonsense and refused to be silenced. He is a vessel for Jesus at the highest degree and we are honored to share his heart for King Jesus and his five ministries with the Birdhouse!
This one is a MUST LISTEN & SHARE! The words he shared about “God can’t resist a broken heart and calling Christians to NOT protect their heart from being broken” rocked me to my core.
If you told me 3 years ago we would one day sit across from @pstroybrewer in a beautiful studio, I’d laugh and say, “God must have his hand on our ministry!” As Troy says, Jesus will forever be the hero in our stories.
If you are new here, please subscribe and check out our previous episodes! We are three and a half years into this mission and this was a big moment for our ministry! 🕊️
