What If Healing Starts With Letting Go - Interview with Pastor Overton Duncan

Interview with Ministry Leader Faith Grant

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2559233/fan_mail/new] A single moment can plant a seed that takes years to bloom. Faith Grant joins us to share how a prophetic word spoken over her at 16 eventually became a real-life calling to minister through music, even after a long season of ignoring it. If you’ve ever wondered why God’s direction feels delayed, we talk honestly about taking the next faithful step, trusting God’s timing, and saying yes even when you feel unprepared. We dig into what authentic Christian worship looks like beyond the set list. Faith explains how a worship leader creates an atmosphere where people can encounter God in a genuine and meaningful way, and why vulnerability on the platform matters. We also share a powerful picture of congregational unity: when people draw closer, engage together, and the presence of God feels unmistakable, the whole church becomes the worship team and hearts are prepared to receive the Word. Faith also opens up about serving as a youth director in a world full of anxiety, identity pressure, and spiritual confusion. We talk youth ministry, discipleship, and giving teens room to ask real questions like “Is God real?” and “Who is the Holy Spirit?” You’ll hear practical ideas for leading with love, teaching discernment around music and culture, and helping young people discover God’s hope and purpose for their lives.

Pulled Back From The Edge - The Testimony of Greg Merrifield

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2559233/fan_mail/new] Darkness filled the room, his body hit the floor, and he was certain he was dying. Greg Merrifield tells us about the night drugs pushed him past the edge, when he believes he left his body, heard chains, saw angels coming for him, and finally cried out for mercy to Jesus. It’s an unfiltered Christian testimony that doesn’t tidy up the past, because the point is the rescue and the warning. We walk through Greg’s childhood with little church background, the family upheaval that fed his anger and addiction, and the crimes that landed him in courtrooms and jail cells. He shares the moment he prayed on his knees behind bars, then watched events shift in a way he sees as God’s intervention. After the near-death experience, two Bible passages hit him with force, Jude 6 and 2 Peter 2:4, and he describes living for years with fear of dying again until he finally starts building real faith through church, Scripture, and new people. The conversation also turns to relapse and a second crisis in 1998 that sounded like a cerebral haemorrhage, followed by what Greg believes is a miraculous healing. From there, we get intensely practical about addiction recovery, repentance, spiritual warfare, and why community matters: come out from among the people who pull you back, get grounded in the Word of God, and find a Bible-believing church that teaches repentance instead of hype. If you know someone who’s backslidden, battling addiction, or wondering whether God still wants them, this one is for you.

From Under The Bridge To Recovery with Author and Speaker Blossom Rogers

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2559233/fan_mail/new] She slept under a bridge, chased a $500-a-day habit, and cycled through jails and rehabs, then built a life that now helps other people get free. We’re joined by Blossom Rogers, a certified peer specialist and recovery support specialist, who shares a raw, faith-filled story of crack cocaine and alcohol addiction, childhood trauma, prison, and the long road to 21 years clean and sober. We talk about what trauma does to identity, why “filling the void” with relationships never works, and how forgiveness and self-forgiveness can break generational cycles. Blossom walks us through her rock-bottom moment in a crack house, writing a letter to God, checking into a hospital, and taking the step to relocate for treatment. We also get practical about sobriety boundaries, triggers, and why some of us cannot pick up “just one” without sliding back into the old life. Then we look forward: her books, her documentary and film awards, and the nonprofit dream to build a safe home for women and children coming off the streets. If you’re searching for addiction recovery help, peer support, faith-based healing, or a story that proves relapse doesn’t get the final word, this conversation is for you.

From Life Sentence To New Life with Pastor Thomas Jordan

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2559233/fan_mail/new] A teenager gets sentenced to life, spends 21 years in prison, then walks out with a message of hope. That is the road Thomas Jordan has lived, and our conversation goes straight into the honest details: what changed, what stayed hard, and what faith looks like when there is no easy exit. We talk about salvation behind bars and the part people skip, the daily work of staying anchored when you are saved but still surrounded by pressure. Thomas shares the moment a prison church service flipped his motives, how he began learning Scripture for himself, and why he believes God can break cycles that look permanent. If you care about prison ministry, Christian testimony, and faith-based transformation, you will hear a story that is both raw and deeply practical. Then we move into reentry and spiritual warfare: the shock of coming home, the pull of old environments, and how quickly temptation can find you. We also unpack identity in Christ, the “who told you?” question that exposes lies, and the power of words to shape a future. We close with a focused prayer for listeners who are incarcerated, in despair, or battling suicidal thoughts. If you know someone who needs deliverance, second chances, or a reason to keep going, share this conversation with them.

Interview with Author Yvonne Denise Hicks

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2559233/fan_mail/new] Revival is not an abstract idea to admire from a distance. We sit down with Yvonne, an apostolic leader and long-time watchman intercessor, to talk about what actually shifts a community: worship that stays, prayer that listens, and outreach that trains people into lasting change. Yvonne traces her journey from Philadelphia evangelism and prayer walks to a defining open vision where worship and intercession break through spiritual resistance and transform an atmosphere. From there we dig into what “watchman” work looks like on the ground: researching the roots of a region, identifying blessings worth reclaiming, naming wounds that still shape a community, and responding with repentance, Scripture, and steady prayer. If you’ve been searching for practical Christian spiritual warfare, prophetic prayer, or how to pursue a Great Awakening in modern life, this conversation gives you language and next steps without hype. We also talk about being positioned for assignment, including Yvonne’s sense of calling along the I-40 corridor and why local engagement matters, especially with families, schools, and the values shaping children. Along the way we unpack spiritual authority for every believer, the role of the Holy Spirit as Helper, and testimonies of restoration that touch real life, including finances, hope, and healing from addiction and despair.
