What if understanding how your brain works could help you partner with God for deep emotional and spiritual healing? In this episode, licensed therapist and author Tina Smith unpacks her book Renewing Our Minds in Love and shows how neuroscience, attachment, and Scripture all fit together in God’s design for wholeness. Tina and John talk about what trauma actually is (and isn’t), why attachment and early relationships matter so much, how triggers work in the brain and nervous system, and why many believers feel condemned or “stuck” even while trying to renew their minds. She also explains the “hand model” of the brain, how love literally rewires neural pathways, and why over-spiritualizing mental illness has quietly hurt people in the church. They dive into practical tools for:

• Navigating family dynamics and toxic environments (especially around the holidays)
• Setting boundaries without burning bridges
• Having hard conversations without labels, name-calling, or shutdown
• Leading in church and ministry with curiosity instead of quick fixes
• Integrating therapy, inner healing, and deliverance in healthy, balanced ways

If you’ve ever wondered why you react the way you do—or why change feels so slow despite prayer and Scripture—this conversation will help you see your story, your brain, and your healing through a much kinder, more hopeful lens. Guest: Tina Smith — licensed therapist; founder of SELA Counselling & SELA Treatment Center; creator of Sword & Grace Coaching; author of Renewing Our Minds in Love

What’s the difference between the anointing and the glory—and why does it matter right now? In this rich, story-filled conversation, Rev. Dr. Theresa Phillips joins John to unpack the three realms (salvation, anointing, glory), how the third-day glory realm works, and why the Lord is bringing a loving but firm course-correction to the prophetic movement. 

 Dr. Theresa shares visions of the cloud of witnesses and heavenly “watchers” moving across the nation, her encounters in the throne room, and how the glory realm is already impacting culture through signs like feathers, gems, and supernatural fragrance. She also talks candidly about holiness, repentance, the fear of the Lord, the American church, and what it means to love people deeply without affirming their sin. You’ll hear stories from her bake-stand outreach, Be a Hero to a Hero (stockings for medically confined veterans), the birth of her Redeem and Renew skin care line from a glory encounter, and practical ways to cultivate a lifestyle that attracts heaven’s atmosphere—starting with a fresh relationship with the Word and Revelation 21.

What happens when God takes a sick baby on the edge of death, a wounded church kid, and a “reluctant” leader—and turns him into a pastor who equips ordinary believers to walk in miracles? In this episode, Pastor Rafa Assis from Brazil (with translator Jarvis) shares his powerful story: healed as a newborn, burning for Jesus as a child, deeply hurt by church, then radically re-encountering God through prophetic encounters, seminary, and the supernatural move of the Holy Spirit.

Rafa talks about being mentored in a revival culture, traveling with Randy Clark and Global Awakening, planting and pastoring Pier 49 church in Rio, and watching God use “unlikely” people to see cancers, strokes, arthritis, autism, and more healed. He and John also dive into what God is doing in Brazil right now, how the Father is healing issues of spiritual fatherhood, and why this is a season for hidden, ordinary believers to step into identity and power.

In this episode, Megan Parsons shares her powerful journey from chronic Lyme disease and church hurt to a dramatic encounter with Jesus, supernatural healing, NICU nursing, youth pastoring, and now itinerant ministry.

What would it take to gather men across Germany for a Mighty Men Conference in Nuremberg—the very ground once used to platform the Third Reich—and redeem that space for the Kingdom? In this episode, Mark Ian Brislin shares the remarkable string of confirmations that led him to invite Angus Buchan, why Nuremberg matters symbolically, how East Germany’s history still shapes the church today, and the practical next steps (venues, teams, and intercessors) to make it happen. We also talk about forming men as king, priest, and prophet in the home and the hopeful signs of renewal already emerging.

Key takeaways

• Why Nuremberg is a prophetic venue for a men’s gathering and national repentance/renewal
• The “three confirmations” that sparked the invitation to Angus Buchan
• East Germany’s cultural backdrop (Nazism → Communism → rationalism) and what it means for discipleship today
• A simple blueprint to raise men as king, priest, and prophet in their homes
• How to pray: venue, organizing team, regional unity (Germany, Czech Republic, Ukraine)

In this power-packed episode, John sits down with Christa Elisha to unpack her book Born for Battle—a field guide for strategic spiritual warfare and bloodline deliverance. We dive into Jesus’ supernatural worldview, why deliverance still matters, the hidden mechanics of Freemasonry oaths, “quantum” agreements of thought and speech, the Python spirit in pop culture, and how to identify and break family-line patterns that keep believers stuck. Practical, direct, and deeply hope-filled.

Key takeaways

• Deliverance isn’t fringe—it’s essential discipleship and part of the Gospel’s power.
• Agreements (spoken or rehearsed in thought) can create legal footholds—truth and repentance break them.
• Freemasonry rites mirror specific spiritual bondages that often manifest in families until renounced.
• Look for repeating bloodline patterns (health, finance, relationships, premature death) and confront them with targeted prayer and deliverance.
• Reform is shifting many toward table-centric, discipleship-first “new wineskin” expressions of church.
