ABOUT THE GUEST: PETRUS PHAKAMILE SITHO
Petrus Phakamile Sitho is the founder of Stop Farm Murders, an activism platform in South Africa that he says exists to give a voice to victims of farm attacks and murders. He was born and raised on a farm in the Free State, where his parents worked. After high school he worked in several companies, serving mostly farming customers, and says he first received his calling in 2010. He later left a well-paid role, and says his family lost their home and savings as a result. He says he has interviewed survivors and families affected by farm attacks, has visited roughly 250 families, and has walked an estimated 10,000 to 15,000 kilometers carrying a cross to raise awareness. He says his mission is about protecting every person who works the land, whatever their race.

What would you do if you were told to keep your faith private—or lose the career you spent nearly 20 years building?
Andrew Crapuchettes chose obedience over security.
After leading a multimillion-dollar company, Andrew found himself facing an impossible decision. He refused to compromise his Christian faith, walked away from everything he had built, and trusted God with what came next.
What looked like rejection became divine redirection.
In this powerful episode of M‑Power TV, Andrew shares how God transformed one of the most difficult moments of his life into a new mission—leading him to found RedBalloon, an employment platform helping thousands of freedom-minded employers and job seekers connect through shared values.
This conversation is about courage, conviction, entrepreneurship, and trusting God when obedience comes at a cost. If you have ever experienced rejection, lost an opportunity because of your beliefs, or wondered whether God could use your setback for something greater, Andrew’s testimony will remind you that your story is not over.
Sometimes losing everything is the beginning of everything God has planned.

This conversation explores the devastating impact of pornography on a marriage, from betrayal trauma and hyper-vigilance to forgiveness, healing, and rebuilding trust. Erica shares her personal story of discovering her husband’s pornography use, the emotional and spiritual fallout, and the support systems that helped her move from secrecy to healing.We discuss what betrayal trauma can look like, why forgiveness is not the same as instant trust, and how recovery requires honesty, accountability, and the right kind of support.

Key topics
In this episode, Erica shares how she discovered pornography in her marriage and describes the initial shock as feeling like she had been hit by a truck.
We discuss how betrayal in marriage can trigger trauma symptoms such as panic, anxiety, sleeplessness, nausea, weight changes, and a deep sense of unreality.
Erica explains how secrecy and shame often isolate betrayed partners, making it harder to get help and harder to heal.
The conversation addresses why some counseling advice around pornography can be deeply harmful, especially when it minimizes betrayal or shifts blame onto the betrayed spouse.
Erica shares the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation, emphasizing that forgiving someone does not mean trust is automatically restored.
We discuss hypervigilance, the urge to become a detective by checking phones, receipts, and devices, and why that instinct is common after betrayal but unhealthy long term.
Erica explains the importance of accountability, transparency, and real behavior change from the person who has acted out.
The episode covers the difference between remorse and repentance, with emphasis on sustained fruit rather than words alone.
Erica shares how support groups, trauma-informed counselors, and community helped her heal when she could no longer carry the burden alone.
She also reflects on how her healing became part of her calling, allowing her to walk alongside other women facing betrayal.

What happens when a missionary steps deep into the Amazon rainforest, into places where the name of Jesus has barely been heard?

In this powerful episode of M-PowerTV, missionary Arnold van der Spuy shares extraordinary firsthand stories from his work in the Amazon: encounters with people desperate for hope, moments of supernatural breakthrough, spiritual warfare, manifestations he describes as demonic, and miracles that transformed lives and communities.

This is not comfortable Christianity. It is faith lived out in remote villages and difficult places, where Arnold has witnessed what he believes is the very real power of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit at work.

🔥 In this episode, we explore:

* Miracles Arnold says he witnessed firsthand
* Frightening encounters with spiritual darkness and demonic forces
* What spiritual warfare looks like deep in the Amazon
* Lives transformed through prayer and the Gospel
* The sacrifices missionaries make to reach isolated communities
* Moments when there seemed to be no human solution
* How the Holy Spirit moved in unexpected and powerful ways
* Why Arnold continues going back despite the challenges and dangers
* What these experiences taught him about faith, obedience, and the power of Jesus

Whether you are strong in your faith, questioning what you believe, or simply curious about the supernatural, this conversation may challenge the way you see the spiritual world.

There are still people willing to leave comfort behind, cross rivers, enter remote communities, and dedicate their lives to bringing hope to people the world may never see.

Watch until the end and decide for yourself what you believe.

He was moments away from losing everything.

Marquis Forge believed God had called him to start a business. He invested everything he had, worked tirelessly, and refused to give up on the vision. But instead of success, he faced setback after setback. As the bills mounted and the world shut down during COVID-19, his dream appeared to be over.

Standing at the door of his business, convinced he was about to lose everything, Marquis locked up for what he thought might be the very last time.

Then his phone rang.

That single phone call changed the course of his life forever.

Today, Marquis Forge is the founder of a multi-million-dollar bottled water company, but the greatest miracle isn't the business. It's the faith, perseverance, and unwavering trust in God that carried him through the darkest season of his life.

Your breakthrough may be closer than you think.

Menopause, Pelvic Floor Health, and Why Kegels Are Not a One-Size-Fits-All FixThis episode spotlights pelvic floor health with Dr. Christine Klein, a doctor of physical therapy specializing in pelvic health. Host Lorna Grayling explores what the pelvic floor actually is, how bladder and bowel habits affect it, and why symptoms like leaking, urgency, pain, and even recurring UTI-like discomfort are often more complex than people assume.We discuss practical ways to support pelvic health across ages, from kids to older adults, plus how menopause, stress, diet, and breathing all play a role.Key topics

• Dr. Christine Klein explains why pelvic floor therapy is about much more than just Kegels, and why tightening exercises can actually make some problems worse.
• The pelvic floor is a group of muscles at the base of the pelvis that helps control continence, supports bowel and bladder function, and works with the core, hips, glutes, and breathing diaphragm.
• Foods and drinks like coffee, alcohol, tomato-based foods, orange juice, and lemonade can irritate the bladder and increase urgency or frequency.
• A normal urination pattern is often every 2 to 4 hours, and constantly running to the bathroom at the first urge can make the bladder more sensitive over time.
• Pelvic floor therapy often starts with a bladder diary that tracks food, drink, bathroom habits, urgency, and leakage for about three days.
• Stress and muscle tension can mimic UTI symptoms, including pain and urinary urgency, even when cultures are negative.
• Menopause can affect pelvic health through estrogen loss, contributing to vaginal dryness, pain with intimacy, UTIs, and worsening bladder symptoms.
• Topical vaginal estrogen and pelvic floor therapy can both be helpful for menopausal symptoms, depending on the person.
• Pelvic floor concerns are not just for women after childbirth - men, children, teens, and athletes can all experience pelvic floor dysfunction.
• Dr. Klein emphasizes that there is no quick fix, and progress usually comes from assessment, guided treatment, and consistent home practice.
