Do you believe the spirit realm is real?

Many Christians say they believe in angels, demons, and spiritual warfare, but how many of us actually live with an awareness of that reality?

In this episode, we'll try to piece together different experiences in the spirit realm and what some people believe many Christians are missing. This conversation is not about fear. It is about discernment, prayer, holiness, Scripture, and the victory of Jesus above all.

What if I told you the biggest secret to getting more done isn't more effort — it's Sabbath?

In this episode, I'm sharing one of the harder lessons I've had to learn the hard way — including a story about a pacemaker scare years ago that landed me in the hospital, and what happened (or didn't happen) when I got home. Plus, a simple moment washing my hands at McDonald's that taught me what Sabbath actually is.

5 Takeaways from this episode:

1. Power doesn't come from doing more — it comes from rhythms of rest.
2. Sometimes we're so disconnected from our bodies that we don't realize how much rest we actually need — until something forces the issue.
3. Sabbath isn't just physical rest. It's turning your attention to what God is doing instead of staying focused on yourself and everyone else.
4. Sabbath looks different for everyone — a nap, a bike ride, a quiet moment, even washing your hands at McDonald's.
5. This week's challenge: ask yourself honestly — what does Sabbath actually look like for me? And would I be willing to try something different this week?

Dare to do more than just survive. Step Out & Thrive.

What happens when a sitting U.S. Congressman survives not one but multiple life threatening events in the same year?

In this episode of Witness the Wonder, Congressman Barry Loudermilk shares his extraordinary personal testimony of faith, survival, and God's protection.

He recounts being targeted in the 2017 Congressional Baseball Shooting, where 22 bullets were fired and none hit him, a near fatal rollover crash that nearly claimed his wife's life, a professional assassination attempt in the North Georgia mountains traced to a cryptic FBI clue, a train collision involving members of Congress, and a season of intense political persecution that required private security and an undisclosed location.

More than a survival story, this is a powerful God story about faith, miracles, and how God uses decades of smaller trials, a charging bear in Alaska, a rockslide, and a father's injury, to prepare you for the battles you can't yet see.

Congressman Loudermilk walks through how faith, Scripture, and the supernatural peace of God carried him when human strength couldn't. He also opens up about PTSD, the emotional weight of political attacks on his reputation, and why he believes suffering is never random when you're walking with God.

Key topics: Near death experiences, faith, miracles, God stories, miracle stories, the 2017 Congressional Baseball Shooting, surviving an assassination attempt, God's protection, supernatural protection, answered prayer, signs and wonders, overcoming political persecution, PTSD, and Christian encouragement for hard seasons.

Are screens impacting your child development?

Learn how screen time effects influence physical milestones and daily habits for young kids. Host Tina Yeager sits down with pediatric physical therapist and author Ginny Cruz to explore the connection between digital media and early childhood growth. If you are a parent wondering how much device usage is appropriate, this conversation provides a clear perspective on balancing technology with necessary physical movement.

We discuss the insights found in Ginny Cruz's book, The New Mom's Guide, to help you navigate modern parenting challenges. You will gain a better understanding of how screen time effects manifest in physical play and social interaction. By applying these professional observations, you can create healthier screen habits for your family without the guilt.

• Multiple studies now confirm that excessive screen time alters children's brain development. MRIs have revealed that brains are forming circuitry differently, leading to issues later in life 02:42.

• Longitudinal studies show children exposed to more than two hours of daily screen time are more likely to report higher anxiety, trouble making decisions, and persistent struggles with executive functioning even into their teens 04:18.

• Many kids now experience increased anxiety, depression, anger, and impulse control issues. Overstimulation from bright, fast-paced content can lead to meltdowns or shutdowns 05:32, 16:36.

• Real-life connection is irreplaceable: overuse of screens impacts attachment, facial recognition, and social skills—fundamentals for a healthy, well-adjusted child 08:37, 09:29.

• No screens for babies under one year (except video chats with loved ones). For toddlers, limit to about one hour a day, focusing on high-quality, educational programming 11:00.

• Parents: Your own screen habits matter. Kids notice when your attention is diverted, even nonverbally! Taking inventory of your digital usage can profoundly impact your child's desire and ability to connect 11:59.

• Replace screens with Montessori-style toys, blocks, pretend play, and books. Fewer, simpler toys encourage imagination, focus, and problem-solving 20:09.

• Introduce change gradually—cut back screen time in small steps and have alternative activities ready 21:38.

• Don't underestimate the power of quiet, calm environments. Overstimulation is very real and can make even the calmest child anxious or irritable 16:36.

"Everything in moderation." The foundation built in early childhood shapes everything that follows. Small changes can make a world of difference in helping our kids flourish 24:32.

Denise Renner joins me for a powerful conversation on identity, marriage, and the transformative power of hearing God's voice, even when you feel you've lost yourself. We dive deep into the real-world struggles Christian wives face and how to find true freedom and purpose in Christ.

Episode Highlights

In this episode, we explore how to break free from the trap of hiding behind your spouse and instead embrace the unique gifts God has given you. We discuss the necessity of trusting God's leading in your life and marriage, even when the path is challenging or unexpected. You’ll learn how to navigate difficult marital dynamics by speaking truth in love and relying on the Holy Spirit’s guidance, rather than falling into the "nag" trap.

Denise unpacks the core message of her book, "Who Stole Cinderella?", and shares how a wise woman can build a beautiful, godly house by focusing on her own walk with the Lord. We also cover the critical importance of forgiveness—not as a suggestion, but as a command to pursue peace—and how one spouse can truly change the trajectory of a marriage. Finally, we share practical steps to foster a healthier, more thankful relationship by actively speaking life into your marriage and your spouse.

Key Talking Points

• Finding Your Identity in Christ: Why you must embrace your God-given callings rather than hiding in the shadow of your spouse.
• How to Hear God's Voice Daily: The fruit that comes from surrendering to God’s direction, even when it’s not what you expected.
• Biblical Marriage Advice for Wives: How to speak truth in love and challenge unhealthy behavior without becoming a "nag."
• Overcoming Christian Marriage Struggles: Taking responsibility for your own spiritual growth to build up your home.
• Healing from Marriage Hurt: Why pursuing peace is a daily, active commitment to freedom through forgiveness.
• Achieving Spiritual Freedom: Understanding that boundaries and being "bold on the inside" can be godly, wise, and necessary.
• Strengthening Your Christian Marriage: How your gratitude and godly influence can empower your husband to be a better man.

Have you ever wondered why Jesus promised a full and satisfying life, yet you still feel stuck, overwhelmed, or weighed down?

If you've been longing for greater peace, freedom, joy, and purpose, this conversation will encourage you to take practical steps toward the life God has always intended for you. If you're ready to stop merely surviving and start walking in the freedom Christ purchased for you, this episode is for you.

Have you ever felt like your brain is going in a hundred directions at once — while your inner critic keeps telling you that you are not doing enough, not obeying fast enough, or not measuring up spiritually?

In this episode of The Redeemed Perfectionist, Leneé Pezzano closes out the ADHD, perfectionism, and faith series with Emily Morrone, an ADHD coach and licensed pastoral counselor. Together, they talk about the connection between ADHD, perfectionism, nervous system safety, rejection sensitivity, spiritual shame, and learning to rest in Jesus.

Emily shares how ADHD can show up as internal hyper-awareness, emotional overwhelm, control, avoidance, rejection sensitivity, and difficulty staying present. She also explains the green, yellow, and red zones of nervous system regulation — and how those states can affect the way we relate to God, ourselves, and others.

This conversation is especially for the high-achieving Christian woman who loves God deeply but still feels afraid of disappointing Him. If you have ever confused obedience with pressure, struggled to believe God is safe, or felt like your ADHD symptoms were proof of spiritual failure, this episode will help you begin seeing yourself through the lens of grace instead of shame.

Together, Leneé and Emily talk about:

•  Why ADHD is not a character flaw or spiritual failure 
•  How perfectionism can distort the way we see God 
•  Why rejection sensitivity can feel so intense for the ADHD brain 
•  What nervous system safety has to do with faith 
•  How control and avoidance may be signs of feeling threatened 
•  Why small steps matter in your walk with Jesus 
•  What it means to come to God with belief and unbelief 
•  How to begin rebuilding trust with God when He does not feel safe yet 
•  Why your mustard seed of faith really is enough to begin 

If you are tired of striving, overthinking, shutting down, or trying to fix everything immediately, this episode is an invitation to stop calling yourself broken and start asking, “Lord, what are You showing me about how You made me, how You love me, and how You want to lead me?”

God is not waiting for you to become perfect before He draws near.
 He is here now.
 He is gentle now.
 And He is a safe place.

Ever feel like everyone else seems to hear from God… except you?

If you've struggled to hear God's voice, questioned whether God still performs miracles, or wondered if you've wandered too far from Him, you're not alone.

Josh grew up Buddhist. Shelly knew about Jesus but was living a life she knew wasn't leading anywhere good. Neither of them expected God to meet them in the middle of doubts, addictions, pain, and unanswered questions.

What followed included freedom they couldn't manufacture, healing after seventeen years of chronic pain, and moments that changed the way they saw God.

But the thing that changed them most wasn't a miracle.

It was discovering they had never been as far from Him as they thought.

What if every temple ever built—every oracle, every sacred spring, every desperate question hurled toward heaven—was humanity reaching for something it couldn't name until the answer finally arrived?

In this GPS episode, we start with breakfast. If you've never stayed in a Turkish hotel, you are missing something. We are talking a full spread every morning. Endless variety. Total abundance. (John went back more than once!) The trip's rhythm exuded care.

Full and rested, we arrived at Didyma. It was unlike anything else we had seen.

This isn't one of the seven churches but a great depiction of ancient Greece, preserved in stone on the Aegean coast. The Temple of Apollo is twice the size of the Parthenon. One hundred and twenty-two massive Ionic columns, each roughly 19 meters tall. Construction began after Alexander the Great liberated the city in 334 BCE. They built for over five hundred years and never finished it. Why was the inner courtyard open to the sky? Because this was where you came to hear from heaven.

This was an oracle, second only to Delphi in the ancient world. Roman emperors, Alexander the Great, kings as well as ordinary people came desperate to hear something from beyond themselves. A sacred spring still flows underground here today. A priestess would descend into the inner sanctuary, and answers would come. Only three of the original 122 columns still stand. But standing next to even one, you understand that the people who built this were not thinking small.

Didyma was connected by the Sacred Way to the nearby city of Miletus, a name you may know. In Acts 20, Paul stopped there on his final journey toward Jerusalem, knowing what waited for him. From Miletus, he sent for the elders of the Ephesian church and said goodbye. They wept, threw their arms around him, knowing they would never see his face again. Paul walked this same coastline. He may have seen these columns from the water. And he kept going.

In the fourth century AD, the oracle went silent. As Christianity spread and emperors turned to Christ, the temple was closed. A church was built within its walls. The voice that kings had hung their decisions on was replaced by the voice of the gospel.

The name Didyma means twin in Greek. Thomas the apostle's Greek name was also Didymos, the doubter, the one who needed proof before he believed. A place built for signs and answers, sharing a name with the disciple who needed them most.

The whole ancient world was searching. And the answer came, not through a priestess at a sacred spring but through the One who said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. The oracle went silent. The Word is still speaking.

Key Takeaways:

• The hunger to hear from heaven is ancient; temples like this prove it has always been there
• Paul kept going toward Jerusalem from this coastline, knowing the cost
• The oracle went silent, but the Church rose in its place
• Three columns remain out of 122, and they still feel like a testimony
• Didyma means twin; a place built for signs shares a name with Thomas, the disciple who needed them

Key Themes: Didyma · Temple of Apollo · Ancient oracle · Paul and Miletus · The search for God · Human longing · Faith vs. signs · The Word of God

Who Will Benefit: The history lover, the skeptic, the searcher, and any believer who needs a reminder that the voice humanity has always strained to hear has been speaking all along.

The oracle went silent. The Word is still speaking. God tends to show up in the margins.

Can everyone really hear God's voice? If the answer is yes, why does it sometimes seem so difficult?

In this episode of the Samuel's Mantle Podcast, Murray explores one of the greatest obstacles to hearing God—not God's willingness to speak, but the belief systems we've developed through culture, religion, education, family, and personal experiences.

Discover how these hidden filters shape the way we see God and ourselves, often limiting our ability to recognize His voice. Through biblical teaching and practical illustrations, you'll learn why God often speaks through dreams, visions, impressions, and gentle promptings, and how renewing your perspective can open the door to a deeper relationship with your heavenly Father.

Whether you've always wondered if you can hear God or you've struggled to recognize His voice, this episode will encourage you to lay aside old assumptions and embrace the invitation of the New Covenant: "My sheep hear My voice."

Join us as we discover that hearing God isn't reserved for a select few—it's part of every believer's relationship with a loving Father.
