When God Changes Your Assignment (doubt & prophetic confirmation)

When God Changes Your Assignment (doubt & prophetic confirmation)

What do you do when God changes your assignment—and everything feels uncertain? In this episode, evangelist Jono Gates shares the story of a prophetic encounter with the Holy Spirit that confirmed his calling during a season of doubt, fear, and spiritual weariness. What began as a simple meeting turned into an unmistakable moment where God reaffirmed His direction—and released “the anointing to not quit.” We talk honestly about: Doubt, fear, and spiritual weariness Prophetic confirmation and discernment Leaving security to follow God’s call Obedience when doors don’t open right away Financial fear and trusting God as provider Evangelism without pressure or performance Why healthy skepticism must mature into discernment Jono opens up about insecurity, perseverance, and how God confirms His voice—not just once, but over time—through Scripture, community, and unmistakable encounters.

Breaking The False Agreements That Sabotage Your Calling

Success isn’t the enemy — idolatry is. In this episode, I unpack the false agreements we unknowingly make with success, achievement, and ambition— agreements that slowly sabotage calling, identity, peace, and intimacy with God.  We don’t fall into idolatry overnight. We drift into it through quiet agreements: “I am loved when I look strong.” “I’m safe if I accumulate more.” “My destiny depends on my effort.” These inner contracts become spiritual traps disguised as ambition. They look like excellence, but they weigh you down and exhaust you.. Today we confront three agreements: Image — I need approval to feel worthy Insulation — I need control and resources to feel safe Independence — I must be strong enough to succeed on my own And then we break them — with repentance, truth, and practice. If you’ve ever chased a dream, reached a goal, and still felt empty… If you’ve ever feared people’s opinions more than God’s whisper… If you’ve ever trusted hustle more than His Spirit… This episode is for you. Break the agreement. Return to the Father. Build a calling, not an identity.

Forrest Frank, The Dove Awards, And The Idols We Don't Want To Confront

The recent controversy around Forrest Frank and the Dove Awards has exposed something much deeper than a debate about the Christian music industry—it’s revealed what’s happening inside our own hearts. In this episode, I share three lessons about conviction, humility, and purity of heart that every believer needs to hear: -Why we naturally defend ourselves instead of letting the Holy Spirit examine us. -How a symbol of success doesn’t automatically mean a symptom of pride. -Why purity of heart is an ongoing process that requires daily surrender. If you’ve ever wrestled with your motives, battled pride, or wondered how to stay focused on Jesus in a culture obsessed with recognition and platform, this video will challenge and encourage you.
