EP: 426 The Hopi Prophecy and the Blue Kachina *members only trailer

Bruce grew up having apocalyptic dreams he could not explain. At five years old, he watched the coast of California burn in a vision so vivid it never left him. Years later, a road trip with a friend led them to Hopi Prophecy Rock in Arizona. Previous to this visit, his friend got a lightning bolt tattoo. Bruce felt the impulse to get a sun tattoo. What they did not know was that both marks are carved into a stone that the Hopi believe foretells the end of the world and the return of a white brother at the end of days. Hopi elders wanted them to come back for a ceremony under the right moon. They never returned.  But the story did not end there. In a Christian program years later, Bruce had a dream so specific it predicted the arrival of a Hopi roommate the next day. In the dream, his deceased father led him to a compound of twisted tree women guarding a Hopi baby whose legs were being warped by something dark. The vision connects witchcraft on the reservation, pagan end times prophecy, and a thread that runs all the way back to Deuteronomy 32 and the divine allotment of the nations. This is one of those stories that raises more questions than it answers. This is a wild conversation about witchcraft on the reservation, pagan prophecy that echoes biblical eschatology, the Blue Kachina, and whether pre-flood knowledge has been whispering through indigenous traditions for millennia.

EP: 425 The Pharisee Spirit and the War Within with Jess Phoenix

She left witchcraft. She found Jesus. She thought the war was over. It was just getting started. In this follow-up to her first appearance on the show, Jess Phoenix gets into the spirit that most Christians do not want to talk about. The Pharisee spirit. Not a demon in the traditional sense, but a religious operating system that uses scripture as a weapon, gatekeeps the gospel, and drives new believers right back into the darkness they just left. Jess breaks down how this spirit differs from Jezebel, why it can say the name of Jesus without flinching, and how it targets anyone with a testimony and a platform. This conversation is a Christ-centered, honest look at the war happening inside the church. Jess shares what it has been like to be publicly attacked by Christians for her appearance, her past, and her refusal to play by their rules. She explains the difference between conviction and condemnation, why your emotions are not the same thing as discernment, and what the fruit of the Spirit actually looks like when it is present versus when it is being faked. If you came to faith expecting peace and found a battlefield instead, this one is for you.

EP: 424 The Darkness Found Me with Cher Butler *members only trailer

Cher Butler did not go looking for the supernatural. It came looking for her. Abandoned in a car as an infant and adopted into a home filled with foreign idols and artifacts, Cher grew up surrounded by demonic activity she could not explain and could not escape. Nightmares, shadows moving through the house, visions of things no child should see. She slept with the lights on until exhaustion took over. It was not until she got saved at 19 in a tent revival that the dreams began to shift and God started speaking through scripture written across window sills in her sleep. What followed was a decade of hands-on deliverance ministry that started with a single phone call from a woman asking if suicide would send her to hell. Cher invited her over to pray and watched the woman's face contort, her voice drop to a man's register, and her hands claw at Cher's mother. Cabinets moved. Smells drove people into the yard. And Cher discovered something that had been true since childhood. The spiritual realm was not theoretical for her. It was personal. This conversation is a Christ-centered, Christ-first look at what happens when someone steps into the war between kingdoms and refuses to back down.

EP: 423 Beyond the Edge of the World with the Wild Brothers

The Wild Brothers grew up where no roads, no hospitals, and no government existed. Hudson and Morgan Wild spent 17 years in the highlands of Papua, Indonesia, living among the Wano people, an animistic tribe of 1,500 gripped by fear of evil spirits, tribal warfare, and dark spiritual practices. Their parents landed by helicopter with a Bible and a burden. What followed is one of the most extraordinary missionary stories of our generation. The accounts they carry from those years sound like something out of the book of Acts. Neighbors watching demons enter their home. A meteor blazing through the jungle canopy the night before a pivotal Bible teaching. A deadly snake bite followed by a prayer that should not have worked but did. A vine suspended in midair by nothing visible. The Wild Brothers unpack the collision between the kingdom of light and the kingdom of darkness with the kind of firsthand authority that only comes from living on the front lines.  This Episode is Sponsored By: https://rocketmoney.com/blurry [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbjJNUHpNZDZBQjl5MXBFcmFjalB3Tl9IM2xiQXxBQ3Jtc0ttcGRlSTZPVUE0dXo5clliLUpqQUJuYVBFZzB3RHBGVk5Qb2JodkpXQlFXRFprWHg5eHdOQTh5V3hZS2E3elBIRXJJSS1tVWtLOHIxc0ZpOFZ3RUYwdEVoSnpydmcycllFZEFqX2FPM3dMYTRzVEVnZw&q=https%3A%2F%2Frocketmoney.com%2Fblurry&v=x4JsEuGhezI] — Let Rocket Money help you reach your financial goals faster! https://preborn.com/blurry [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqblpHc0dsZXNxT29paDRCMEg1WVZXc05ONnE5d3xBQ3Jtc0tsWmI0SXdobTJ4QWZoelFrb3BqbG9INXBkcHNaNzB2Z0haUmZZYlQ4Q3pTNk5wYjlOcVZ0b0pVMWJoLVBfLXNQVm0zRUI2dDNpNDBleTkwM3FxcXpqMXFJMFJNLWJuNnl5TVduR0FDNzJIVDhpVV9NTQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fpreborn.com%2Fblurry&v=x4JsEuGhezI] — Visit the PreBorn! website or dial #250 [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/250] and use keyword BABY to donate today. https://get.stash.com/blurry [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqblR1NEdCeExmTmwwQTMwbFpWZ2FLVDhYbGU0UXxBQ3Jtc0ttVlJqQ3RoQXlUWHFoMktuTUk2THpQcVkyTUVOLUtlVV9GNFQ5b0hyYWxDNmd4WHgwT01uYUtzZGZaUEFWMklJaVZVN0pOZEtWUTdwc0RGdGpTai1IUHRWODBibG9FUU1zalY0YmJueklyNzQxMXg1UQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fget.stash.com%2Fblurry&v=x4JsEuGhezI] — See how you can receive $25 towards your first stock purchase and to view important disclosures.

EP: 422 Her Eyes Turned Black with Ann Barczewski *members only trailer

When Anne Barczewski's six-year-old daughter had a ten-hour seizure and three brain surgeries that removed part of her temporal lobe, the doctors called it medical. When her behavior spiraled into violence, the psychologists called it behavioral. But when Anne was sitting in a grocery store parking lot begging God for answers, she heard two words that changed everything: "I am." That night, her daughter's eyes turned black in front of a Baptist pastor and two deacons, and what followed was years of spiritual warfare that took Anne from knowing nothing about deliverance to becoming an expert in it. This is one of the most Christ-centered and Christ-powered episodes we have had on the show. Anne shares how her daughter was delivered, how her marriage almost fell apart after Rachel passed away at sixteen, and how God turned a soap business into a healing ministry at New Age expos, where witches got saved and blind men got their sight back. She also gets into the theology of unbelief, the difference between inner healing and deliverance, and why some people keep coming back for more deliverance when what they actually need is truth. If you have ever wondered what it looks like when an ordinary person starts doing the stuff Jesus said we would do, this is it.
