...18 min - Iran Is Bleeding — But the Church Is Rising | Eugene Bach
Send us Fan Mail
Iran is bleeding.
The world has watched protests, crackdowns, executions, and the brutal suppression of dissent under the Islamic regime. Many see only darkness, fear, and instability.
But there is another story unfolding.
In this powerful conversation, Eugene Bach shares the deeper reality of what is happening inside Iran — a rising underground church, a hunger for truth, and a revival that is spreading even under persecution.
We discuss:
• The historical connection between Persia and the gospel
• The growth of Christianity inside Iran
• The brutality of the regime and the courage of believers
• The Back to Jerusalem vision
• Why revival often grows strongest under pressure
• What Iran’s crisis means for Christians in the West
This episode is not merely about geopolitics. It is about the power of the gospel.
As Iran faces turmoil, many are turning to Jesus. And their courage raises a sobering question for us:
Are we going deeper in our own faith?
Are we ready to evangelize boldly?
Do we understand how fragile freedom truly is?
Iran’s suffering is real. But so is the revival.
Listen, learn, pray — and let this conversation awaken you to both urgency and hope.

...1 hr 8 min - This Is Why Prayer For Healing Hasn’t Worked — The Missing Step | Beatty Carmichael
Send us Fan Mail
Why does healing prayer feel sincere—but still ineffective for so many Christians?
In this episode, we sit down with Beatty Carmichael to explore why prayer for healing often seems to produce little change—and what may be missing in our understanding of biblical healing.
This conversation focuses on The Prayer of Freedom as a structured, Scripture-based process of inner healing and repentance—not a quick fix or emotional moment. Beatty explains why faithful believers can pray for years and remain stuck, and how confusion about spiritual authority, repentance, and the legal structure of healing can quietly block progress.
Rather than chasing hype, this discussion walks through how healing unfolds step by step within a biblical framework.
We also explore:
• Why healing prayer sometimes feels ineffective
• The difference between demonic influence and wounded parts of the human soul
• Why treating those two realities the same causes confusion
• Authority-based healing vs. gift-based healing
• The role of repentance in restoring freedom
• Challenges in the modern Church’s approach to deliverance and healingIf you’ve ever thought, “I pray, but nothing changes,” this episode will give you clarity, language, and a practical path forward rooted in Scripture.

...51 min - Is There Hope After Suicide? | A Testimony of Faith and Healing
Send us Fan Mail
In this deeply honest and compassionate episode, Teresa McMillan shares her journey through unimaginable grief after losing her father to suicide.
Teresa loved her dad and was close to him. Just days after a warm and ordinary phone conversation, her world was shattered when he took his own life. The shock, grief, and sense of rejection that follow suicide are difficult to put into words—and despite Teresa’s strong faith, this season tested her in ways she never expected.
As she walked through the valley of loss, Teresa discovered just how fragile she truly was—even though she had once felt spiritually strong. Yet in the deepest darkness, she also encountered the faithfulness of Jesus in a new and profound way. She learned that Christ does not stand at a distance from our suffering, but walks with us through “the valley of the shadow of death.”
This episode gently explores:
Grief after suicide and the questions it raises
Faith shaken—but not destroyed
The pain loved ones carry after loss
God’s nearness in the darkest seasons
Hope, healing, and the comfort of Christ
Teresa emerges from this trial with renewed faith, quiet hope, and the deep comfort that her father is now with Jesus.
This episode is for anyone grieving suicide, wrestling with despair, or wondering where God is in the darkness.
If you feel hopeless, this conversation is meant to leave you with hope.

...22 min - She Was Bound by Fear—Now She’s Preaching Jesus in the Most Dangerous Nations
Send us Fan Mail
Teresa McMillan grew up in a Catholic home—but she didn’t know what the Bible actually taught or what the Gospel truly meant. When her parents divorced, anger and rebellion took root. Teresa turned to partying, drinking, and destructive relationships, searching for freedom in all the wrong places.
Everything changed when someone took the time to clearly explain the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
After fully surrendering her life to Jesus, Teresa began experiencing freedom from the fear that had bound her since childhood. What followed was a radical transformation—from insecurity and fear to bold faith and obedience.
Today, Teresa is a sold-out missionary with a calling to take the Gospel to all nations. She has already traveled to 83 of the world’s 195 nations, including countries openly hostile to Christianity, boldly proclaiming the name of Jesus.
In this powerful interview, Teresa shares her journey:
From fear to boldness
From rebellion to surrender
From confusion to clarity
From comfort to obedience
If you’ve ever struggled with fear, uncertainty, or hesitation to fully follow Jesus, this testimony will encourage and challenge you.

...34 min - Cursed Objects: When What You Keep Blocks God’s Blessing
Send us Fan Mail
Are there spiritually dangerous items in your home? Could objects in your possession be blocking God’s blessing on your life?
In this episode, we examine the biblical reality of cursed and occult objects and the spiritual consequences of holding onto them. Drawing from the story of Achan in Joshua 7, we explore how Israel lost God’s favor—not because God changed, but because forbidden items were hidden in the camp.
Scripture shows that God takes spiritual agreements seriously. Objects devoted to false worship are not neutral, and when they are preserved instead of destroyed, they bring contamination rather than blessing.
This episode covers:
- Why God commanded Israel to destroy certain objects
- How cursed items operate through spiritual agreement
- Modern examples of occult and dedicated objects
- The difference between neutral items and those that must be destroyed
- Why repentance is necessary for freedom—even under the New Covenant
Jesus has already taken our punishment, but repentance is still required to experience freedom. If you suspect there may be cursed items—or hidden sin—affecting your life, this message calls you to obedience, repentance, and restoration.
If you need to be set free, this episode is for you.

...24 min - A Father Fasted A Son Came Home
Send us Fan Mail
Fasting is often treated as an optional discipline—or an extreme one. But in Scripture, fasting is a quiet act of humility that creates space for God to move in ways we cannot force.
In this episode, Karl Gessler shares a brief but powerful testimony about how his friend Joe Roraff returned to Jesus after his father completed a 21-day fast. This is not a story about earning miracles or manipulating outcomes—it’s about surrender, intercession, and the unseen spiritual effects of obedience.
Sometimes fasting doesn’t change our circumstances immediately. Sometimes it changes people. Sometimes, it saves a life.
If you’ve ever wondered whether fasting really matters—or if it can make a difference for someone you love—this episode will encourage you to see effectual power of fasting to conform our world to Jesus.

...6 min - What Happens When You Stop Eating and Start Listening to God
Send us Fan Mail
In this interview, Teresa McMillan shares her extraordinary experience of completing a 40-day water fast—and the deeper spiritual realities it revealed along the way.
Together, we ask the questions many believers quietly wrestle with:
Why do we fast?
What keeps us from fasting?
What actually happens—spiritually—when we do?
This conversation moves beyond religious obligation and into the heart of fasting as a biblical tool for humility, clarity, repentance, and spiritual formation. We explore the resistance we feel toward fasting, the comforts we protect, and the transformation that follows surrender.
If you’ve ever wondered whether fasting still matters—or why it feels so difficult—this episode will challenge, encourage, and reframe how you see hunger, discipline, and intimacy with God.

...20 min - From Trauma to Triumph: How Jesus Led James Gutierrez into Lasting Freedom
Send us Fan Mail
James Gutierrez had already come to faith in Jesus—but freedom required going deeper.
In this episode, James shares how Jesus patiently led him back through places of trauma and abuse where wounds had become demonic strongholds. Rather than force or fear, Jesus brought healing through kindness, truth, and presence.
Karl Gessler and James unpack what real deliverance looks like when Jesus Himself leads the process—and how that freedom now flows through James as he helps others find healing in Christ.
This conversation is honest, grounded, and deeply pastoral.

About The Faith of the Father(s) w/ Karl Gessler
From the publisher's feed
The Faith of the Father (s) is a podcast devoted to proclaiming and demonstrating the reality of Jesus Christ—risen from the dead and actively at work today, healing the sick and casting out…
demons just as He did in the Scriptures.
Rooted in the careful study of the Bible and the witness of the Church throughout history, this podcast seeks to learn from the faith of the fathers—from the earliest believers to faithful witnesses in the present day. We hold that the ministry of Jesus did not end in the Gospels, but continues through men and women indwelt by the Holy Spirit and obedient to His voice.
Hosted by Karl Gessler, The Faith of the Fathers features candid conversations with those who have walked out of deep trauma, abuse, and bondage and have found real healing in Jesus. It also includes interviews with believers who have witnessed and participated in profound works of God—miracles of healing, deliverance, salvation, and even the raising of the dead—through courageous and faithful obedience to Christ.
At its core, this podcast affirms a simple conviction: God intends to govern the world through human beings filled with His Spirit, living in truth, authority, and love. By returning to Scripture and the lived faith of the Church, The Faith of the Fathers invites listeners to know Jesus not as a distant figure of the past, but as the living Lord who continues His work today.
