When God reveals something… He isn’t just informing you.He’s recruiting you.In Episode 10 of The Afterglow, Aaron  ⁨@TuneThyHeart⁩  and JT  ⁨@jtfollowsjc⁩  unpack what it means to move from outrage to intercession. As more darkness is exposed in our culture, many believers feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or even spiritually fatigued. But what if discernment isn’t meant to produce anxiety… but assignment?We talk about:• Why constant exposure to corruption can feel like a spell• The danger of reacting publicly before responding privately• Elijah and the power of persistent prayer (James 5:17–18)• Daniel discerning the time and turning to fasting and intercession (Daniel 9)• Why prayer isn’t passive — it shifts atmospheres• The difference between being defensive Christians and offensive ones• How algorithms disciple your mind if the Holy Spirit doesn’tWe wrestle not against flesh and blood (Ephesians 6:12). The battle is spiritual. And when the Holy Spirit allows you to see something, it may not be so you can broadcast it, but so you can kneel.James 5:17–18“Elijah was a human being, even as we are. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.”Daniel 9:23“From the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard.”John 14:12“Whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these.”The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective (James 5:16).You don’t have to understand all the mechanics of how prayer works.You just have to kneel.If this episode blessed you, share it with someone who needs to be reminded that they’ve been recruited. not to panic, not to rage, but to intercede.We are available on all major platforms.Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and everywhere podcasts are streamed.If you feel called to learn how to create content without losing your soul, and you’re interested in the Echoes of Truth Coaching community, visit:https://echoesoftruthnetwork.comMay the noise fade, and only the love of Jesus remain.

They want you angry.

The state of the world feels loud right now.

Hypocrisy is being exposed.

Geopolitical tension is rising.

Social media is filled with outrage and division.

And if we’re honest… it stirs something in us.

The Afterglow is a reflective podcast from the Echoes of Truth Network, created as a place to sit with the weight of truth after it’s been spoken. Each week, JTfollowsJC and TuneThyHeart unpack heavy conversations from JT’s Mixtape and process them through humility, discernment, and faith.

In this episode, we ask:

Is this righteous anger…

or is something darker trying to take root?

Jesus said:

“Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.” — Matthew 10:34 (NIV)

But that same Jesus is called:

“Prince of Peace.” — Isaiah 9:6 (NIV)

So how can He bring both?

Because truth divides, but peace anchors.

We discuss:

• Righteous anger vs bitterness

• How outrage can be engineered

• Why social media feels like bait

• How to disagree without becoming inflammatory

• Guarding your heart from cynicism

• Filtering emotions through the Holy Spirit

• The responsibility of public discipleship

Scripture referenced:

Ephesians 4:26 — “In your anger do not sin…”

James 1:20 — “Human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.”

Psalm 139:23 — “Search me, God, and know my heart…”

Truth will expose.

The world may shake.

But His peace does not.

Each week, JTfollowsJC and TuneThyHeart unpack what’s been discussed on JT’s Mixtape and then slow things down to process it with humility, discernment, and faith.

In Episode 7, we talk about the power of what comes out of our mouth and why it’s directly connected to what’s in our hearts.

Jesus said:

“It’s not what goes into your mouth that defiles you; you are defiled by the words that come out of your mouth.”
— Matthew 15:11

This applies to more than just what we say out loud.
It also includes what we type online, the comments we leave, and even the casual phrases we repeat like “we’re cooked” or “it’s over.”

As the world gets darker, we’re faced with a real decision:

Will the darkness taint us…
or will we remain the light of the world?

Because God spoke the heavens and earth into existence and our words carry weight too.

• Why our words reveal our hearts

• Why typed words still matter spiritually

• Doom speech vs discernment

• Speaking truth without partnering with darkness

• Speaking life without denying reality

• How to carry hope above circumstances

• Prayer requests, praise reports, and walking this out together

Proverbs 18:21 “The tongue can bring death or life…”
Luke 6:45 “What you say flows from what is in your heart.”
Ephesians 4:29 “Let everything you say be good and helpful…”

What if survival depends on hearing His voice above every other voice?

Each week, @jtfollowsjc and @TuneThyHeart discuss heavy conversations on JT’s Mixtape, and The Afterglow exists for the quiet moments that follow, when humility, discernment, and faith are required.

In Episode 6, we go deeper than information.

We talk about why as deception increases and the world gets darker, the most dangerous thing a believer can do is stay distracted. We live in a society intentionally programmed to keep us busy, preoccupied, and constantly consuming noise — but there is no way to make it through what’s coming without learning how to hear His voice above every other voice.

This episode is not about collecting more theories.
It’s about intimacy with Jesus.

Discernment without intimacy becomes suspicion.
Truth without closeness to Jesus becomes noise.

We discuss:
• Why distraction is one of the enemy’s greatest strategies
• Discernment vs suspicion and why intimacy changes everything
• The nonstop noise of clips, podcasts, and theories
• Being still before God and shutting the door to pray
• “Keep yourselves from idols” and what idols look like today
• Why the rabbit hole must lead back to Christ
• What it truly means to believe in Jesus
• Walking this out together through prayer and community

Scripture shared in this episode:
Matthew 24:24
Psalm 46:10
Matthew 6:6
1 John 5:20–21
Matthew 6:33

In Episode 5, we get raw and personal.

We begin with a confession about choosing being right over being loving and how that same spirit can quietly take root in the conspiracy and truther space. We talk honestly about why that community doesn’t lack information, but often lacks repentance, humility, peace, fruit, and love and how Jesus calls us back to a different posture.

We also explore a reality that reshapes how we understand faith itself.

Humans can only see roughly 0.5% of the visible light spectrum.
That means the vast majority of reality is unseen, yet undeniably real.

Faith is not belief in fantasy.
Faith is trust in what exists beyond our limited perception.

This episode is not about fear, darkness, or accusation.
It is about humility, repentance, discernment, and learning to see clearly without losing our souls.

• A personal confession about pride, patience, and humility

• Why the conspiracy community doesn’t lack information, it lacks fruit

• Discernment vs suspicion and how pride quietly creeps in

• Government corruption and false leadership without obsession

• The “little season” in Revelation and why it matters in the big picture

• Knowledge vs wisdom — and why love must lead

• Frequency, light, and the unseen reality we all live in

• Why Jesus gets all the glory

• Prayer requests, praise reports, and walking this out together

“Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.” — 1 Corinthians 8:1
“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.” — John 1:5
“Now faith is the confidence in what we hope for and the assurance about what we do not see.” — Hebrews 11:1
“For we live by believing and not by seeing.” — 2 Corinthians 5:7
“Never stop praying.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:17

This conversation is not about condemnation or superiority.
Scripture reminds us that our battle is not against flesh and blood and that truth without love is not the truth of Christ.

In Episode 4, we reflect on 2025 and what stood out spiritually; including how more people seem to be seeing through deception faster than ever. But we also talk about something just as important: not giving darkness too much credit. Jesus has already won, and we’ll win more people to Him through love than fear.

This episode is not about spreading fear or darkness.
It is about discernment, humility, and staying anchored in Christ.

We discuss:

• Looking back at 2025 spiritually

• Why believers should be slow to accuse and quick to show grace

• The danger of obsession with conspiracies

• Why darkness is not all-powerful

• Fruits of the Spirit as a guide for discernment

• Why we don’t tell people what to think

• Prayer requests, praise reports, and praying together

Each week, JT and Tune Thy Heart explore heavy conversations raised on JT’s Mixtape — and then slow things down to process what those conversations leave behind.

In Episode 3, we talk about navigating Christmas week and the excess, emotion, and spiritual noise that often accompany it. We also reflect on the unexpected growth of this podcast and the responsibility that comes with reach — why discernment should cause us to slow down, not speed up.

This episode is not driven by fear, outrage, or spectacle.It is about stewardship, prayer, and guarding the gates of our hearts.

We discuss:

• Navigating Christmas week with wisdom and heart posture

• Gratitude for growth and why stewardship matters

• The importance of prayer and praying for our listeners

• Guarding our eyes, ears, and hearts in a noisy culture

• A behind-the-scenes moment that prompted us to step away, pray, and be discerning

• Why not everything needs to be watched in order to be understood

As referenced in prior conversations on JT’s Mixtape, this episode emphasizes that discernment does not mean paranoia — it means staying anchored in Christ.

“Think about things that are pure, lovely, and admirable.”— Philippians 4:8 (NLT)

In Episode 2, we talk about what happens when spiritual discernment begins to sharpen, when you start noticing influence, patterns, and spiritual realities everywhere and how to carry that awareness without becoming anxious, prideful, or pushing people away.

This episode is not driven by fear, outrage, or exposure culture.
It is about wisdom, restraint, love, and heart posture.

We discuss:

• What it feels like when you begin “waking up” spiritually

• Why truth can be mishandled and turn people away

• How influence and darkness are woven throughout culture

• How to guard your heart without living in fear

• Why timing and love matter just as much as truth

• Christmas, judgment, and why pleasing God matters more than pleasing people

As referenced in previous conversations on JT’s Mixtape, including cultural moments like the Zac Brown Band at the Sphere, this episode emphasizes that discernment does not mean paranoia, it means staying anchored in Christ.

🎧 Episode 1 — What Remains After Truth Is Heard

When the conversation ends… what remains?

The Afterglow is a reflective podcast from the Echoes of Truth Network, created as a space to sit with the weight of truth after it’s been spoken. Hosted by JTfollowsJC and TuneThyHeart, this podcast exists for those moments when heavy conversations leave us wondering how to process what we’ve heard — and how to refocus our hearts on Jesus.

In Episode 1, we reflect on themes explored in recent weeks, including discernment, influence, deception, accountability, and spiritual responsibility. This conversation is not driven by outrage or spectacle, but by a desire to pause, examine, and seek wisdom rooted in Scripture.

We discuss the responsibility that comes with influence, the difference between exposure and edification, and why what happens after truth is revealed matters just as much as the revelation itself.

“Test everything; hold fast to what is good.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:21
