Jesus Pulled Me Out of Darkness I Couldn’t Escape - #153 Matthew Sutherlin

Matthew Sutherlin didn’t just struggle with addiction — he was trapped in a darkness he couldn’t escape. Raised in the shadow of generational crime, prostitution, and addiction, Matthew’s life spiraled into IV meth use, sexual addiction, and deep New Age deception. Searching for freedom, he tried everything — yoga, manifestation, altered states, and radical sexual liberation — but the deeper he went, the more he realized something unsettling. This wasn’t just psychological. Something was controlling him. In this raw and honest conversation, Matthew shares how addiction became a doorway into spiritual oppression, how “losing inhibitions” only tightened the grip of darkness, and what it felt like to reach a place where he truly couldn’t stop. What followed wasn’t religion — it was a personal encounter that changed everything. In this episode, you’ll hear: ⇨ How generational darkness affected his life in ways he didn’t understand at first ⇨ Why New Age spirituality and self-mastery failed to bring freedom ⇨ The moment God broke through and began restoring what was lost ⇨ What real intimacy with Jesus looks like beyond church and belief ⇨ And how his wife was later healed from stage-4 cancer after doctors said there was no hope This isn’t a polished testimony. It’s the story of a man who lost everything — and found the One who could actually set him free. If you’ve ever wondered whether darkness is real…If you’ve questioned whether addiction is more than habit…Or if you’re searching for a God who doesn’t just forgive, but delivers — this conversation matters. ------------------------- ✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give -------------------------- ✟ Recommend a guest for us here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact -------------------------- ✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith ------------------------------------ ✟ If you need prayer or deliverance, or if you would like to join us as a prayer partner, please visit our prayer resources page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer. ✟ If you are looking for a good faith-building book, visit our recommended books page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books.

I Spoke in Tongues at 8… Then Darkness Came for Me - #152 Aleiya Dimaggio

Aleiya Dimaggio was filled with the Holy Spirit at eight years old… but the darkness didn’t leave. Instead, it followed her into years of anxiety, addiction, and spiritual torment she didn’t know how to escape. Growing up in a home surrounded by addiction, rejection, bullying, self-harm, and crippling anxiety, Aleiya found herself tormented night after night — even after she tried to walk away from God completely. Everything began to change when she finally confronted the wounds she had carried for years. When Aleiya chose to forgive the father who left her and gave Jesus access to the deepest places of her pain, the demonic oppression she had lived under began to lose its grip. Today, the girl the enemy tried to destroy is walking in freedom — and helping others find it too — after years of spiritual battles that nearly took her life. ------------------------ ✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give -------------------------- ✟ Recommend a guest for us here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact -------------------------- ✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith ------------------------------------ ✟ If you need prayer or deliverance, or if you would like to join us as a prayer partner, please visit our prayer resources page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer. ✟ If you are looking for a good faith-building book, visit our recommended books page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books.

A Biblical Process for Healing That Actually Works — 90% Success Rate - #151 Beatty Carmichael

What if there is a biblical process for healing that actually works — consistently? For years, Beatty Carmichael wrestled with the same questions so many Christians have: Why are so many believers sick? Why do our prayers for healing so often seem ineffective? That search led him into a Scripture-based discovery that is producing real, repeatable results — not because of a rare gift, but because it follows the spiritual mechanics God laid out for healing with a success rate approaching 90%. In this remarkable conversation, you’ll hear stories of people healed instantly in public places — RSD, degenerative disc disease, arthritis, glaucoma, anxiety, depression, addictions, and more. And you’ll learn the simple, powerful, biblically rooted process behind those healings that any believer can use. If you or someone you love has battled something for years, this may offer real hope. If you or someone you love is battling a condition that doctors haven’t fully been able to explain or resolve… If you’ve prayed for healing and wondered why nothing changed… If you want to walk in the authority Jesus gave His disciples… This conversation could unlock the breakthrough you’ve been praying for. God still heals. And He’s provided a Scriptural path that leads directly to freedom. ------------------------- GET THE BOOK AND CONNECT WITH BEATTY: ⇨ Get the book The Prayer of Freedom: https://amzn.to/4pRgfyz ⇨ Beatty’s Website: https://beattycarmichael.com/ ⇨ Prayer of Freedom Website: https://theprayeroffreedom.com/ ⇨ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/beattycarmichael/ ⇨ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BeattyCarmichaelTeaching ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@beattycarmichael1 -------------------------- ✟ Become a supporter of A Stronger Faith here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give -------------------------- ✟ Recommend a guest for us here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact -------------------------- ✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith ------------------------------------ ✟ If you need prayer or deliverance, or if you would like to join us as a prayer partner, please visit our prayer resources page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer. ✟ If you are looking for a good faith-building book, visit our recommended books page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books.

He Shattered My Religion: The Awakening That Made God PHYSICAL - #150 Kate Fagan

Kate Fagan was a vocational minister in the Presbyterian church for over a decade. She loved the Bible, she loved God, and she was doing all the right things. But, as she reveals in this powerful conversation, she was dying inside. Despite being steeped in a tradition that prizes biblical knowledge and order, Kate's heart had grown cold. She was unknowingly living as a "functional cessationist"—believing God to be distant, predictable, and confined to the systems she could control. She was guarding her heart against the "wild and unpredictable" nature of the Holy Spirit, prioritizing self-preservation over intimacy. This pursuit of safety led to a crisis: a deep spiritual burnout, bitterness after losing her job, and a panic attack that literally broke her on her kitchen floor. It was the moment God intervened. He shattered the walls of her religious spirit and answered the desperate prayer: "God, will you make me a daughter of the narrow way?" She shares the story of her three intense, physical encounters with the Holy Spirit—a visceral fire and warmth in her chest that melted her hard-heartedness and proved that the abundant life in Christ is a fearless life. This episode is a must-watch for anyone who feels stuck in the motions of a "nice Christian life" but is starving for the genuine, earth-shaking, and life-changing love of God. The revival has started, and God wants to do more than you can imagine. ----------------------- REACH KATE HERE: ⇨ Website: https://www.katefaganstudio.com/ ⇨ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/ ⁨@BornandBecoming⁩  [https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UC5Y8MFmO_SY9HFFjVmag1rg] ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katefaganstudio/ ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KateKateKateKateKateKateKateKate ------------------------- ✟ Become a supporter of A Stronger Faith here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give -------------------------- ✟ Recommend a guest for us here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact -------------------------- ✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith ------------------------------------ ✟ If you need prayer or deliverance, or if you would like to join us as a prayer partner, please visit our prayer resources page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer. ✟ If you are looking for a good faith-building book, visit our recommended books page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books.

A Demonic Encounter and Ayahuasca Woke Me UP - NEW AGE TO JESUS TESTIMONY - #149 Lacey Bahns

Lacey Bahns spent nearly a decade deep inside New Age spirituality — yoga, Reiki, crystals, astrology, angel cards, manifestation coaching, channeling, plant medicine, ayahuasca, and more. What began as a search for healing and “higher consciousness” slowly opened dark spiritual doors she never expected. Her turning point came through two life-altering moments: a terrifying demonic encounter in the middle of the night and a desperate prayer in an ambulance as her infant daughter struggled to breathe. Both encounters pushed her to ask the question she had avoided her entire life: What if the truth I’ve been searching for has been in front of me all along? Nine months after buying her very first Bible, Lacey finished reading it cover-to-cover — and everything changed. Peace replaced fear. Hope replaced anxiety. A new life began. ✟ Find Lacey on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/laceybahns/ ------------------------------✟ Become a supporter of A Stronger Faith here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give ------------------------------- ✟ Recommend a guest for us here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact ------------------------------- ✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith ------------------------------------ ✟ If you need prayer or deliverance, or if you would like to join us as a prayer partner, please visit our prayer resources page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer. ✟ If you are looking for a good faith-building book, visit our recommended books page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books.
