Stepping In Faith

• The Spirit Realm: Part Two

  What if spiritual power isn’t about methods, but about permission? We open up the spirit realm with scripture and personal stories, showing why authority flows from a relationship with Jesus, not from rituals, followers, or hype. From Acts 19’s sons of Sceva to Daniel 10’s delayed angelic messenger, we map out how legitimacy, timing, and jurisdiction shape real breakthroughs and why “power without permission” invites backlash.We go straight at today’s spiritual counterfeits: Reiki presented as healing, empty affirmations posing as renewal, divination marketed as guidance, and even “Christian” expressions that subtly center self. First Corinthians 12 helps us discern authentic gifts that come from one Spirit. At the same time, Isaiah 11 guides us through the seven Spirits of God: wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge, fear of the Lord, and the Spirit of the Lord Himself. These operations of the Holy Spirit don’t just inform our faith; they protect us from trading intimacy for imitation.You’ll also hear a needed correction to a popular myth: Satan wasn’t “heaven’s worship leader.” Scripture paints a picture of a high-ranking cherub who guarded glory, not a choir director. Why does that matter? Because the enemy’s real strategy is mimicry: create the shape of the kingdom without its King. That’s why our focus returns to abiding in Christ. When we move where the Father sends us, evangelism becomes an assignment, authority becomes effortless, and our words carry weight because heaven backs them.Suppose you’re hungry to move into real authority, navigate spiritual warfare wisely, and recognize counterfeits without becoming cynical.

• The Spirit Realm

  Power without permission is just noise. We dive into the spirit realm with a straight claim: real authority flows through one door, and that door is Jesus. Together we unpack why some prayers feel heavy while others land with quiet force, how atmospheres and altars shape the flow of gifts, and what the Bible actually says about entering by the Gate rather than climbing the wall.We ground the conversation in scripture and lived experience. Ephesians points to being seated with Christ in heavenly places, suggesting access by union rather than technique. John 10 draws a sharp line between the shepherd’s gate and the thief’s detour. First Corinthians 2 reminds us that spiritual truth can’t be manufactured by clever words; it’s revealed by the Spirit. That lens reframes common struggles: if your heart posture is misaligned, your spiritual “signal” scrambles. Volume won’t fix what surrender heals. We also examine the story of Simon the sorcerer in Acts 8 to show how ambition can masquerade as hunger for God and why the gifts of the Spirit cannot be bought or performed into existence.Across the episode we call out two modern traps: idolizing leaders instead of following Christ, and settling for charisma when the Spirit’s fruit is the real proof of presence. We explore the ethics of true spirituality through Isaiah’s portrait of the Messiah—no judging by appearance or hearsay, justice for the poor, decisions rooted in truth. If your “revelation” fuels pride or dehumanization, it’s not the Spirit of truth. Legal access isn’t elitist; it’s humble, ongoing agreement with Jesus that opens the right doors at the right time.If you’re longing for clarity, authority, and peace in prayer, this conversation will help you trade hacks for holiness and noise for the calm power of Christ.

• Breaking Cycles: Why You Keep Going In Circles

  If comfort has started to feel like a cave, this conversation is your map out. We start with the raw pattern in Judges, sin, oppression, repentance, rest, and ask the hard question: why do we keep circling the same ground when we love God? The answer isn’t more noise or new routines; it’s training. We unpack how God leaves “giants” in our landscape to teach warfare, strengthen obedience, and grow in real spiritual authority. That means formation that looks like fasting, Scripture, worship, and boundaries—reps under the bar that build capacity to stand when the pressure rises.Gideon’s story gives us a blueprint that cuts close to home: before you fight public battles, tear down private altars. We talk about the idols hiding in “culture” and “tradition,” how outrage becomes a substitute religion, and why every life carries a scent, either worship that draws God’s presence or smoke that attracts familiar oppression. Expect resistance, even from religious spaces that mix empire with faith. We choose the Kingdom Jesus named before Pilate, the kind that refuses to bow to power or panic and instead trains to love well, discern schemes, and walk in quiet authority.If you’re tired of repeating the same fights, here’s a practical framework: daily bread in the Word, small acts of obedience, rhythms of fasting and prayer, honest heart checks for idols, and a choice to fight the right enemy. We share stories, Scripture, and simple tools to help you break loops, recover identity in Christ, and step into steady peace. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs courage, and leave a review with your biggest “altar” you’re ready to tear down. We’re praying with you.

• Prayer

  Have you ever felt like prayer is just another task on your spiritual to-do list? What if prayer could transform from an obligation into the most natural conversation of your day?In this profound exploration of prayer, Walter and Shanea unpack what it truly means to communicate with God beyond religious formality. They reveal how prayer serves as "the language of the spirit" – not merely words spoken at designated times but an ongoing dialogue that permeates every moment of our lives.The couple shares a powerful revelation about moving from "expecting" to "knowing" in prayer, illustrated through Walter's relationship with his daughter. When she asks for something and he promises to provide it, she doesn't repeatedly ask because she trusts his word. Similarly, mature faith rests in God's promises rather than continuously petitioning for the same things. This shift fundamentally changes how we approach prayer – from anxious pleading to confident communion.Through biblical examples like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refusing to bow before the king's idol, Jesus raising Lazarus, and Peter walking on water, Walter and Shania demonstrate what unwavering faith looks like in practice. Each story reinforces that genuine prayer flows from understanding God's authority and keeping our focus on Him rather than surrounding circumstances.The most practical takeaway? Their challenge to meet with God three times daily for 21 consecutive days. This intentional practice helps transform prayer from an occasional activity into a lifestyle of spiritual connection. Whether through traditional prayer, worship, or simply conversing with God throughout your day, consistent communication builds the relationship necessary to walk confidently in the spirit.Ready to revolutionize your prayer life? Listen now and discover how to make communion with God as natural as breathing. Your journey toward knowing rather than just expecting begins with this episode.

• The Remnant

  The line between genuine faith and religious performance has never been thinner. In this powerful opening to Season 2, we dive straight into a divine warning: a seducing spirit has been released that's capturing the ear gates and eye gates of believers everywhere.What does it mean to be part of "the remnant" - those few faithful followers who remain steadfast amid widespread spiritual deception? We unpack the spirit of Jezebel, which contrary to popular belief, isn't merely about sexual immorality but primarily about control and perversion of God's word. This spirit doesn't just attach to women; it typically finds its home in men who then influence others away from true worship.The most chilling reality we face is that many who call themselves Christians will one day hear Jesus say, "I never knew you." We examine the stark difference between cultural Christianity and true kingdom citizenship. When you truly encounter Christ, transformation is inevitable - producing fruit that can't be manufactured through human effort alone.In a time of heightened division, we challenge listeners to consider whose side they're truly on. Kingdom citizens aren't defined by political parties or racial ideologies but by their allegiance to God's kingdom culture. The suffering that comes with authentic discipleship isn't punishment but refinement, producing faith and endurance that strengthen our testimony.As judgment begins in the house of God, this is a critical moment to examine who you're following and being led by. Many leaders claiming to know God actually don't, and their followers will be led astray. Guard your heart, protect your spiritual gates, and commit to an authentic relationship with Jesus that transforms you from the inside out. The remnant may be small, but it remains faithful, spirit-led, and willing to suffer for Christ.
