“We are a culture addicted to our ‘Christian crack,’” says Shane Idleman, the lead pastor of Westside Christian Fellowship. As the author of I Almost Quit: My Journey of Leading Through the Landmines of Ministry, Shane has been through the highs and lows of Christian ministry. He discusses the positive impact that prayer and fasting have had on his life and advocates for the routine use of fasting in our Christian walk to seek a closer relationship with the Lord. Shane also talks about the relationship between a healthy lifestyle and how it honors the Lord, as well as how we tend to, as Christians, still cling to worldly and comfortable addictions - whether it’s caffeine, fried food, or a bad habit. “Fasting doesn’t kill you,” he says. “Overconsumption does.”

TAKEAWAYS

Fasting allows Christians to focus on CHRIST rather than their desires

Caffeine overstimulates the central nervous system

The more you’re filled with the Holy Spirit, the easier it will be to push discouragement out of your life

We can’t be disobedient in stewarding our health and expect physical miracles at the same time

Funeral director John O’Looney has found disturbing clots and fibrous destruction inside vaccinated cadavers, which prompted him to research the insidious truths about the vaccine industry, which he believes is more deadly than the viruses they purport to treat. He discusses the corruption of the elite, the murky intentions of Big Pharma, and the harsh realities of organ harvesting, which is often supplied by the dead bodies of infants in the medical industry. The true intention of the HPV vaccine is exposed which correlates with the selling of organs on the black market. John feels that it is his God-given mission to expose the evils he has seen and warn the world about what’s going on.

TAKEAWAYS

There is a huge demand and supply for organ harvesting worldwide

With knowledge comes sorrow and responsibility

Blackmail is often used to control world leaders and power players who determine public narratives

It’s God’s work, John says, to expose the evils of the medical industry and save children from being harmed or even murdered

Art is the last bastion of free speech, says Victor-Hugo Vaca II, an artist and the founder of the Modern Art Music Movement. He has dedicated his life to shedding light on the darkness, and he currently lives near the border of Russia, between warzones and hotspots of global conflict. Victor-Hugo is passionate about bringing truth to the light in order to combat globalist deception, and he uses his art as a form of reporting, painting the news, and utilizing his platform to help save humanity. Victor-Hugo says America is the last country standing in the way of the one-world government’s arrival. He also talks about why the former Pope partook in a strange and eerie “portal” ritual at the Vatican in 2024. “It’s all symbolism,” Victor-Hugo says. “They’re trying to get people to change their perception.” He describes this era as the “Age of Deception” and the “Age of the Apocalypse.”

TAKEAWAYS

The world is moving closer to digital slavery

According to some, CERN has identified at least 17 new dimensions

In the near future, the government may implement Project Blue Beam to create mass illusions to manipulate the populace

Victor suggests that the elites may even stage a fake alien invasion to frighten people and force them to comply to the New World Order

Legends abound in cultures around the world, but perhaps no legend is more prevalent than that of ancient giants, which seems to pervade many stories of old. Author, filmmaker, and explorer, Timothy Alberino, discusses his adventures filming a series in Peru, where he digs into the history and legends surrounding megaliths - massive structures built by ancient people of mysterious origins. From the Andes Mountains to the laboratories of DNA analysis, Timothy breaks down the possible explanations for the “Golden Age” of ancient cultures, in which many populations seemed to thrive exponentially before a massive global catastrophe wiped out their achievements. He also talks about legends of living giants in Afghanistan, as well as the information being revealed today at the UFO congressional hearings in Washington, D.C.

TAKEAWAYS

Presidents don’t necessarily have access to special secret programs that detail UFO sightings or alien research

A C-130 pilot in Afghanistan claims to have transported the body of a giant years ago

The Antediluvian world seems to have flourished wildly before the Flood, but much of that history is lost

The presence of megaliths worldwide suggests that mankind once shared access to a global intellect

The spiritual realm is a dangerous place if you seek it out for the wrong reasons. Vicki Joy Anderson discusses the dangers of lucid dreaming, astral projection, and other strange New Age practices, with a particular focus on sleep paralysis. Vicki is also the author of They Only Come Out at Night: Exploring the Dark Weapon of Sleep Paralysis. She also shares more insight into her personal story, focusing on the trauma she experienced as an infant and how that shaped and impacted her emotional and spiritual well-being. Our time sleeping is meant to nourish and replenish our souls, not expose us to dangerous spiritual attacks. Many people are suffering in their unconscious hours of sleep and never realize how much it’s affecting their active functional hours.

TAKEAWAYS

Lucid dreaming is something the New Age movement has promoted as a good thing, but it can be very dangerous

Demonic forces often lurk in the shadows during our most vulnerable state

When we sleep, our prefrontal cortex gets the rest it needs so that we can get a break from daily decision-making

Be on the lookout for witchcraft content on social media, which teaches children damaging New Age demonic practices

Norm Wielsch was a police officer for more than 26 years, developing severe PTSD and eventually becoming addicted to opioids. With a lifetime of trauma in his wake, he didn’t realize that true healing was possible until he read the Word of God and embraced the saving grace of Christ. Today, Norm is a chaplain and addiction counselor. He’s also the author of two books centered on Biblically-based trauma healing. Norm explains the toxic and sometimes damaging effects of working in violent jobs like law enforcement, and how it affected him and his personal life. He also talks about the Biblical way to deal with personal pain, and why forgiveness is a big factor in all of it.

TAKEAWAYS

Sin separates us from God and keeps us from healing completely from past trauma

Cops are often dissuaded from showing any type of perceived weakness or emotion, which can cause major trauma

Norm says his difficulty in dealing with the emotional pain of being a cop led to his breakdown

You’ll never completely forget trauma, but you can get to a point where it no longer controls your life

Have you ever hesitated to take a vaccine at the doctor’s office, knowing deep down that it might not be good for you? Kaley Blanchard had slight hesitation in taking the Gardasil vaccine when she was 24, but her nurse insisted she “check off the box.” However, in less than an hour after taking the shot, her heartbeat rose to 183 bpm, prompting her to call 911. Since then, Kaley has dealt with the fallout of being vaccine-injured, and shares about how she’s healing her body from the ramifications of the damaging injection. She has embraced homeopathic medicine, whole foods, and gut healing in her quest to return her body to its full strength, and she encourages people to do their research about the Gardasil vaccine, which is often pushed on young girls.

TAKEAWAYS

Some doctors, though not all, can receive kickbacks from pushing patients into receiving certain shots

Healing starts in the gut

Kaley developed seizures and POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) after taking the Gardasil vaccine

Don’t be afraid to advocate for yourself when you go to the doctor

Fifty years ago, through Operation Babylift, LeAnn Thieman was asked to help escort 300 orphaned babies caught in the crossfire of the Vietnam War into the arms of loving families in the United States. This remarkable endeavor changed her life and inspired a later prolific career of writing bestselling books for the Chicken Soup series, as well as a successful speaking career. LeAnn is a wife, mom, nurse, and New York Times bestselling author and shares about the importance of listening to God’s divine guidance in our lives. She describes what it was like to answer the Lord’s calling and take a leap of faith that resulted in the rescue of hundreds of sweet babies who were orphans. She also discusses the importance of forgiveness and faith, and how these two concepts are inextricably tied together.

TAKEAWAYS

Refusing to forgive can take a physical toll on the body and keep us in bondage

We have to care for our minds, bodies, and souls

Take time to be still and listen to God’s voice speaking into your life

LeAnn has co-authored 14 Chicken Soup titles

After losing her leg to bone cancer, Glenda Standeven was shocked and hurt when she was laughed at for her appearance by two young kids during a hospital visit. After enduring the grueling loss of her leg, her first foray back into the public sphere was marked by mockery and embarrassment - but it also marked the beginning of her journey as an encourager and a motivational speaker. Today, Glenda is a certified reflexologist, author, and speaker. She is a four-time contributor to the popular Chicken Soup books, and shares some of the profound insights and lessons she has gleaned from surviving cancer and connecting with others through her story. “Your experiences in life, no matter how varied or difficult, will lead you to something that God has planned for you,” she says.

TAKEAWAYS

It’s critical that we teach our kids that it’s okay to ask questions or to be curious about a disability - but it’s never ok to mock someone

Many people give up when adversity strikes

It’s okay to ask for help and to graciously accept it when people respond

Glenda’s memoir tells her story: I Am Choosing to Smile - The Inspirational Life Story of a Bone Cancer Survivor
