In this episode of One Voice Makes a Difference, I am going to dive into the transformative power of fasting, focusing on the principles laid out in Isaiah 58. Fasting is more than abstaining from food—it’s about aligning your heart with the will of the Father and seeing heaven move here on earth.

This testimony is one of faith, perseverance, and the undeniable hand of God at work. Through this story, I want to encourage you to embrace fasting as a powerful spiritual practice that not only brings breakthrough’s but also shifts your hearts into alignment with God’s purpose.

The episode concludes with a heartfelt and powerful prayer, inviting heaven’s will to manifest on earth and encouraging listeners to step into deeper alignment with the heart of the Father.

   •   What Isaiah 58 teaches about fasting and its spiritual significance.

   •   Janet’s miraculous testimony of fasting and how God responded to her faith.

   •   A prayer of surrender, alignment, and calling heaven to earth in your own life.

In this episode, I am diving deep into the powerful passages of Isaiah 40:25-31 and Isaiah 41. We explore God’s challenge to His people: “Who holds a candle to me?” The Creator, who brings forth the stars each night, never grows tired or overlooks His creation. Isaiah reminds us that God is everlasting, giving strength to the weary and empowering those who seek Him.

I am  unpacking the idea of “the hand of the Lord,” a recurring theme throughout Isaiah, symbolizing God’s direct involvement in history. From judgment to deliverance, creation to restoration, God’s hand represents His sovereignty and power. Key themes include:

1. Judgment and Sovereignty – God orchestrates events and holds ultimate authority over nations.

2. Deliverance and Redemption – His hand is never too short to save those who turn to Him.

3. Creation and Providence – God’s hand crafted all that exists, affirming His control over the universe.

4. Acknowledgment of God’s Work – We’re invited to recognize that life’s events, big or small, are shaped by His divine plan.

This episode calls us to place our trust in God’s capable hands, confident that He’s working in our lives through both blessings and challenges. Join us for a deep reflection on Isaiah’s timeless message of hope and strength.

Title: “From Atheist to Believer: A Near-Death Encounter with Jesus”

In this powerful and moving episode of One Voice Makes a Difference, Janet welcomes 22-year-old Peyton Brown, whose life took a miraculous turn after a near-death experience that shook her atheistic beliefs to the core. 

Raised in a Catholic family but far removed from faith, Peyton had embraced atheism, rejecting any notion of God—until a terrifying health crisis forced her to confront the truth of Jesus Christ.

One evening, under a starry sky, Peyton experienced a sudden seizure that led to a medical emergency. A fatal mistake in treatment caused her heart to stop, leaving her clinically dead. In those surreal moments, Peyton found herself watching her own body from the outside, witnessing her parents' heartbreak, and standing face-to-face with Jesus Himself.

Through vivid and heartfelt detail, Peyton describes the overwhelming love and compassion in Jesus' eyes and the profound peace she felt in His presence. 

This extraordinary encounter brought her back to life, not just physically but spiritually, as she realized the power and truth of a God she had once denied.

 Now, Peyton is on a mission to expose the dark spiritual forces that plagued her for years, and she’s writing a book, EXPOSED, to share her story and offer TRUTH to others battling doubt, identity crises, and unseen spiritual struggles.

Join us for this awe-inspiring conversation as Peyton shares her journey from skeptic to believer, a transformation that will challenge your own understanding of faith, purpose, and the lengths God will go to reach His children. Prepare to be moved, inspired, and filled with hope and wonder as you listen to this incredible testimony of life, death, and act of God.

In this special episode of One Voice Makes a Difference, Janet brings you a powerful conversation with Adam King, recorded live from the Faith Over Fear Conference in Orlando, Florida. Adam’s journey, shaped by a profound sense of purpose, offers a compelling example of resilience, faith, and the transformative power of mentorship.

Adam and his wife, Jen, faced the painful path of infertility, a journey that ultimately led them to find their purpose beyond themselves. They channeled their heartache into a passion for guiding the next generation, impacting lives through education and ministry. For over 20 years, Adam has worked with students as a teacher, principal, consultant, and now with LIFEWISE ACADEMY, where he helps bring Bible-based education to public schools during school hours in a legally approved and impactful way.

Adam’s dedication has taken him around the world, building connections and communities, from classrooms in the U.S. to a schoolhouse for orphans in Uganda. In this episode, he shares the inspiring story of his mission to encourage students to live courageously, find purpose, and understand their identity in God amidst today’s culture of confusion.

If you’ve ever wondered how you can be a light in your own community or impact the next generation, this episode is for you. Join Janet and Adam as they discuss actionable ways to help children and teens navigate life with faith, courage, and clarity. Listen in to be inspired, equipped, and called to make a difference.

The Good News of Salvation

ISAIAH 61 

“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, Because the Lord has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to [a]heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;

2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn,

3 To [b]console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.”

4 And they shall rebuild the old ruins, They shall raise up the former desolations, And they shall repair the ruined cities, The desolations of many generations.

5 Strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, And the sons of the foreigner Shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.

6 But you shall be named the priests of the Lord, They shall call you the servants of our God. You shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, And in their glory you shall boast.

7 Instead of your shame you shall have double honor, And instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they shall possess double; Everlasting joy shall be theirs.

8 “For I, the Lord, love justice; I hate robbery [c]for burnt offering; I will direct their work in truth, And will make with them an everlasting covenant.

9 Their descendants shall be known among the Gentiles, And their offspring among the people. All who see them shall acknowledge them, That they are the posterity whom the Lord has blessed.”

Ray and Jessica share how a life-changing encounter with Jesus transformed their approach to business, infusing faith into every aspect of their entrepreneurial journey.

Have you ever asked these questions before?

• Is this what I am called to do, Is this my highest and best calling?

• What if I stepped into my calling and started being the person I was created to be?
• What if I  stopped allowing fear to hold me back and instead walked in FAITH?
