Today is a special day on Good Morning LIVE as James & Sarah Epperly introduce their newborn daughter — Baby Jubilee Epperly — to the world!

Is your faith running on rules—not relationship? In this hard-hitting, hope-filled interview, Apostle Alexander Pagani (author of Secrets of Deliverance and the new book Manipulated) exposes how legalism disguises itself as holiness, creates fear-based obedience, weaponizes “authority,” and resists the Holy Spirit—all while believers think they’re honoring God. We talk detox from religious control, the Moses/Elijah vs. Jesus center, “pressure-to-submit disorder” (religious PTSD), and how grace trains us to live holy without bondage. We finish with a powerful prayer for freedom and bold next steps.

What you’ll learn

How legalism imitates holiness but shuts down the Spirit

The 10 toxic traits (incl. misuse of authority, resistance to change, tradition-idolatry, fear-based obedience)

Why adding anything to Jesus contaminates grace

Detoxing from religious culture while keeping biblical holiness

Freedom steps for leaders, churches, and families caught in control

Guest: Apostle Alexander Pagani — deliverance leader, church planter, and author of Manipulated: The Ten Toxic Traits of Legalism.

Freedom isn’t passive—it’s taken. This message unpacks how “proximity creates permission” (Proverbs) and why leaving the back door open (Nehemiah 13) lets the enemy move into places reserved for worship, peace, and purpose. Learn the three-pronged response: Evict the squatter, Purify the room, Refill the storehouse—so joy, wisdom, and strength return.

Comparison kills calling. In this powerful message, Pastor James Epperly of Hope City Church Lancaster, PA, exposes the spirit of envy that destroyed King Saul’s destiny and teaches how to keep your focus on Jesus. Drawing from Psalm 73:2-5, 13-14, 21 (NLT) and 1 Samuel 18, this sermon reveals how jealousy blinds us to our blessings and how faith restores our focus.
