Pat Donelson - Our need for the Holy Spirit

I Wasn’t Qualified… But I Went Anyway

Chance came on the trip with me to Tanzania, and honestly… he didn’t feel qualified at all. He’d never seen a miracle. Never prayed for someone and watched them get healed. He was stepping into something way outside his comfort zone. But he said yes anyway. And what happened after that… was wild. The first person he prays for gets healed.Then he watches a tumor shrink right in front of him.Then he realizes—this isn’t just for “certain people”… this is what it looks like to follow Jesus. We talk about: * Feeling unqualified but going anyway * Breaking out of cycles of sin and addiction * What happens when you actually step out in obedience * Seeing the power of God in a real, tangible way There’s also a moment where he becomes the answer to someone else’s prayer… and it’ll hit you. If you’ve ever felt like you’re not ready, not equipped, or not “that kind of Christian”… this one’s for you. Because the truth is—God isn’t looking for qualified people.He’s looking for people who will just say yes. P.S. This is a shameless plug. I published an E-book. You can find it on Amazon.

God Still Raises the Dead: A Miracle in the Womb

What if the stories in the Bible didn’t stop? In this episode of the Testimony of Jesus Podcast, I sit down with my friend Tyrell Tompkins, and we talk about what we witnessed on our trip to Tanzania… and how it’s completely shaped the way we see faith, obedience, and what’s actually available to us as believers. We share the story of a baby that was raised back to life in the womb. Not theory. Not hype. A real moment where God moved in power. But this conversation isn’t just about one miracle—it’s about the journey that leads up to it. We talk about: * Wrestling through doubt and feeling “not qualified.” * Praying for people and seeing nothing happen… and continuing anyway * Learning to step out without waiting for permission * Hearing God’s voice in everyday places (even in a grocery store) * And realizing that the call to “go” wasn’t just for a few people… It’s for all of us This episode will challenge you, encourage you, and remind you that God hasn’t changed. He’s still moving.He’s still healing.He still raises the dead. And He wants to move through you. This is a public episode.

I Felt Nothing… and People Were Getting Healed

What happens when everything you believe about God gets challenged by what you actually experience? In this episode of the Testimony of Jesus podcast, I sit down with Luke Dekker—a ministry school leader who grew up in church, believed in the Holy Spirit… but had never truly experienced the power of God in action. That all changed on a trip to Tanzania. We talk about: * Wrestling with being “theologically right” but spiritually inactive * Stepping into healing, deliverance, and the supernatural for the first time * Seeing miracles happen… while feeling absolutely nothing * Breaking out of the boxes we put God in * The difference between chasing experiences vs. pursuing a relationship * Why it’s not about the “weird stuff”, it’s about knowing Him Luke shares raw, honest moments from skepticism and discomfort to hunger, humility, and a real encounter with the Holy Spirit. This isn’t hype.This isn’t polished.This is what it looks like when God starts breaking down walls in a real person’s life. If you’ve ever felt stuck in routine Christianity…If you’ve wondered, “Is there more than this?”Or if you’re hungry for a deeper, real relationship with Jesus… This episode will hit home.
