Kira shares a sweeping testimony that moves from childhood sleep paralysis, night terrors, Wicca, occult practices, addiction, and despair into sobriety, church, and a dramatic encounter with Jesus on Easter Sunday 2025. It works for search because it stacks the exact phrases people are likely to look for—sleep paralysis, Ouija board, Wicca, tarot, deliverance, sobriety, and Easter Sunday—while clearly signaling the episode’s core transformation. In this episode, Matthew interviews Kira about her upbringing, her family’s relationship to faith and the supernatural, and the gradual shift from paganism and divination to Christianity, recovery, and community.

• Kira describes her childhood in England, Alaska, and across the U.

S., growing up in a home shaped by atheism on her father’s side and Wicca, tarot, candles, and psychic practices on her mother’s side.

• She explains how sleep paralysis and night terrors began at age two, including a recurring dark entity, crushing fear, and experiences she understood as spiritual oppression.
• Kira shares a formative childhood memory of seeing a bright, protective light in her crib, which she later associated with Jesus and divine protection.
• The conversation explores how she was taught the Lord’s Prayer by her mother and used it during terrifying episodes, even while still participating in Ouija boards, pendulums, crystals, and divination.
• Matthew and Kira discuss syncretism, the danger of mixing Christianity with New Age practices, and the difference between seeking God directly versus trying to control the supernatural.
• Kira recounts a childhood miracle in Alaska when she prayed for a missing Aurora Borealis ring and found it during a blizzard.
• She talks about adolescence, bullying, alcohol use, depression, and how drinking felt like an immediate way to quiet panic and connect with something beyond herself.
• The episode turns to Easter Sunday 2025, when a terrifying vehicle malfunction, a box of wine in the car, and a desperate cry for Jesus led to what Kira describes as a deliverance experience.
• Kira says that after that event, she saw herself clearly for the first time, prayed for release, and experienced what she understood as God claiming her as His child.
• She describes the aftermath: renewed sobriety, discipleship, baptism, returning to church, and a desire to help others who are afraid to enter faith communities.

“Jesus Christ, my father, please take the wheel. Take me, not them.”

“She is mine. That is my child."

“Taste and see that the Lord is good.”

• If you are involved in tarot, Ouija, divination, or New Age practices, challenge what you believe and ask what is actually behind it.

We had some audio hiccups in this episode. This has been cleaned up to the best of my ability, but some are still noticeable.

I was dancing, travel dancing in Myrtle Beach.

I was placed in foster care at 16.

I stopped believing in God at one point.

I was struggling with alcoholism.

I realized there is a God. He does exist.

I was very convicted and I like when I felt that sensation of hell.

I just knew God didn't want me to be in that environment.

I saw this blue light, and it looked like an angel.

"I felt the sensation of hell."

"I was struggling with alcoholism."

"I was repenting for it."

"This is gonna be my life now."

"I knew there was a God."

"God spared my life again."

"I just want to show them God's love."

"I always felt a void still."

"I learned to have compassion for her."

"God sees you and loves you."

This conversation explores the profound journey of faith experienced by Matthew, who recounts his encounters with darkness and the transformative power of Jesus' name. He reflects on his spiritual upbringing, the impact of his father's redemption, and his personal encounter with Jesus that led to his salvation. The discussion delves into the nature of sin, conviction, and the significance of supernatural experiences, including speaking in tongues, as integral parts of his faith journey. In this conversation, Armand Asimar shares his experiences with the voice of God, supernatural encounters, and the importance of prayer in the Christian walk. He discusses the challenges of belief in modern-day prophets.

"I saw Jesus interceding for me."

"I was just a seeker, trying to understand God."

"I cried out to Jesus, Save me!"

"I learned how to speak in tongues."

"I felt something breathing on my face."

"The Lord spoke to my heart."

"I shared the gospel with them how to get saved."

"What are the chances that I run into this kid?"

"God can speak in many different ways."

"I said the name of Jesus and it disappeared."

"It's not about seeking supernatural encounters."

What is Martyria? I hope this Episode 0 gives you a taste of what's to come. Real people sharing their encounters with Jesus after being steeped into witchcraft, the occult, satanism, you name it. They meet Jesus in a real and powerful way and their lives are forever changed. Guests vary from seasoned Christians to new believers: which I love! We ALL have a martyria (testimony) to share and Revelation 12:11 asks us to partner with Jesus by sharing it.
