Tulsa Talks

Today on Tulsa Talks, we sit down with Dr. Charlie Beal—a preacher, comedian, and walking miracle. Once declared a quadriplegic, Charlie shares his story of relentless faith, radical praise, and rediscovered purpose. From lying flat in a hospital bed, unable to move or speak, to now driving, preaching, and touring with a comedy ministry, Charlie proves that setbacks are only setups for something greater. He shows us what happens when worship replaces worry and laughter becomes a weapon of healing. Charlie’s life journey walks through all 10 Stages of Life: Humility: Facing complete paralysis and total dependence after a fall. Redemption: Choosing to praise God from a hospital bed, even when hope felt out of reach. Power: Relearning everything—feeding himself, transferring from bed to chair, and regaining independence. Being: Owning his identity beyond disability as a doctor, teacher, and joyful man of faith. Mercy: Sharing laughter through stand-up comedy and grace through the Word. Abundance: Launching a bilingual teaching ministry and preaching with passion. Witness: Letting others see what full surrender and steady faith can do. Sovereignty: Trusting the long path to healing—spirit, soul, and body. Reconciliation: Overcoming the darkest depression through praise, gratitude, and spiritual breakthrough. Completion: Living with deep joy, divine purpose, and contagious gratitude—proving God’s not done yet. Charlie’s message is simple: Be grateful. Keep doing what God gave you to do. That’s how you change your life—and help others change theirs too. 🎙️ Tulsa Talks – Real stories. Real transformation.

In this thought-provoking episode of Tulsa Talks, Eric Thompson returns for a bold conversation on why churches are divided—and how we can come together as one body in Christ. We unpack the deep-rooted denominational fractures, misaligned focus, and theological pride that hinder the Church from walking in unity, power, and love. Eric shares how his perspective shifted from free will to God's sovereignty, and how that revelation helped him understand his role within the larger body of believers. Together, we explore what it means to live out the 10 Stages of Life as the Church: Humility: Letting go of pride and preference for the sake of unity. Redemption: Healing from church hurt and restoring broken relationships. Power: Moving forward with purpose through God’s Spirit, not division. Being: Embracing identity in Christ beyond denomination or doctrine. Mercy: Listening, understanding, and extending grace across beliefs. Abundance: Serving others through collective action, not competition. Witness: Living lives that attract, not repel, people from the Gospel. Sovereignty: Trusting God's plan to build His Church, not ours. Reconciliation: Bridging gaps between traditions, generations, and communities. Completion: Becoming the unified Church God intended—now, not later. From active listening to real collaboration, we challenge Christian leaders and believers to put aside differences and partner for God’s greater purpose. 🎙️ Tulsa Talks – Real people. Real truth.

Today on Tulsa Talks, we sit down with Alan Miracle of the Abolitionist Movement—a man who refuses to soften the language around abortion. To him, it's not healthcare. It’s not “a choice.” It’s the state-sanctioned murder of the most vulnerable.

From his own child’s miscarriage to standing on the frontlines outside abortion clinics, Alan explains why love, truth, and justice must go hand-in-hand. He walks through every stage of the 10 Stages of Life: Humility: Admitting his own fear and silence in the past—and choosing boldness. Redemption: Grieving his own loss and responding with gospel-driven action. Power: Calling leaders to account, confronting policy with conviction. Being: Living integrated faith—father, provider, advocate, servant. Mercy: Offering love and forgiveness to post-abortive women. Abundance: Choosing purpose over comfort, spending his free time defending life. Witness: Refusing to stay silent when injustice becomes normalized. Sovereignty: Trusting God’s timing, not political convenience. Reconciliation: Extending grace to all, but not shying from truth. Completion: Praying for a culture where life is honored and protected from the womb. This isn’t about politics—it’s about people. It’s about the innocent. It’s about calling things what they are, and inviting redemption where it’s most needed. 🎙️ Tulsa Talks – Real stories. Real transformation.
