    #270 Jacob Walda: How A Diluted Gospel Fueled Hidden Sin

    We sit down with Jacob Walda to talk about how a “heaven someday” gospel left him trapped in cycles of sin until Scripture and the power of Jesus rewired his identity. We trace the turning points that moved him from shame and confusion to freedom, discernment, and a life shaped by prayer and mission across Canada. • growing up churched with a list of rules and little power • college compromise, pornography struggles and the “fake Christian” sting • a concussion that forces a life audit and a return to God’s call • simple Bible and prayer habits that spark real change at home • studying Acts through Revelation and confronting the “wretched sinner” lens • Romans 6, baptism and learning to count ourselves dead to sin • weighing teachers by love and fruit rather than internet noise • building a consistent secret place and a mobile prayer shed • leaving pastoral work after fasting, visions and a new direction • evangelism, healing and Spirit-empowered ministry across Canada’s Arctic • a challenge to pray, seek God diligently and obey quickly 💰 DONATE & SUPPORT our Ministry: lovereality.org/give 👍 LIKE us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alovereality 📷 FOLLOW us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/riyoung31/ 📚 LEARN more at our site: lovereality.org Join us for the best gathering on the internet, Internet Church.

    #268 Addison Collingsworth: Authority To Heal

    We catch up with Addison Collingsworth on family, faith, and the shift from studying healing to living with authority in Christ. We keep coming back to one idea: relationship with God makes spiritual power simple, while formulas make it weird and fragile. • Addison’s life update, four kids, flood, rebuild, and seeing God provide • Why his newsletter shifted toward healing and authority in Christ • Authority as identity, not hype, not performance, not fear of man • Relational ministry versus manipulating God with methods and systems • Why “asking God to heal” can miss what Jesus already purchased • John 3:16 and Mark 16:17–18, “believe” as action and trust • Handling nerves, motives, and timing when praying for healing • Learning God’s voice through quiet, journaling, and testing with Scripture • Recognizing Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in prayer life • Gift versus ability, belief plus practice, and faith under pressure • Healing through phone calls, video calls, and even text messages • The simplest goal, friendship and intimacy with God biggerthanme.org, exactly how it sounds, one word .org. 💰 DONATE & SUPPORT our Ministry: lovereality.org/give 👍 LIKE us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alovereality 📷 FOLLOW us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/riyoung31/ 📚 LEARN more at our site: lovereality.org Join us for the best gathering on the internet, Internet Church.

    We talk with Josh Rittenbach about growing up with a transactional view of God and how shame fed addiction, anger, and collapse in his marriage.

    #1: Bonus: Things You Might Like, Free From Porn Podcast, This One Lie Kept Me Addicted To Porn For 20 Years

    We challenge the idea that calling ourselves a porn addict is harmless, and we explain how that label can reinforce the very behavior we want to quit. We connect brain science, shame cycles, and Scripture to show how renewing our minds can turn freedom from porn into a new normal. • why coaching helps when good advice does not stick • how identity language shapes expectations and behavior • placebo and nocebo effects as a picture of belief at work • a personal story about shame and learning to expect lifelong struggle • why behavior modification and streak tracking can feed relapse binges • Romans 6:11 and Revelation 1:5 as a foundation for freedom • renewing the mind so temptation loses its grip • what a guilt free and shame free path forward looks like DM me or DM Justin and let's walk in freedom.

    #265 Throwback Episode: Jonathan Leonardo

    We trace Jonathan Leonardo’s journey from Adventist upbringing and party-driven identity to a sudden, undeniable encounter with the gospel that makes “God loves me” real. Along the way, we name how theology can mask bondage, how fear of being hurt shapes relationships, and how the Holy Spirit turns sonship into actual freedom. • growing up between the Dominican Republic, New York, and Massachusetts with Adventism as a defining culture • learning to speak and preach early while still feeling personally disconnected from God • building identity around being cool, being wanted, and avoiding vulnerability • the Red Cup college years, honest excuses, and the slow dulling of conviction • a seed planted through a new reading of Moses and Scripture’s “failures” • Micronesia, Ellen White, and the first real hope that God uses weak people • switching to theology for curiosity while keeping a double life • public confession while preaching and the weight of hypocrisy • Australia bus tours and hundreds of short gospel talks that sharpen his voice • grad school and PhD ambition feeding pride and masking insecurity about the gospel • being confronted by the question “Do you know the gospel” • the relationship conflict that forces the double-minded life into the open • a YouTube message that breaks intellectual pride and reveals Holy Spirit power • “God loves me” as revelation, freedom from lust, and new power to live clean • reframing sin, flesh, and identity as beloved sons and daughters with an advocate 💰 DONATE & SUPPORT our Ministry: lovereality.org/give 👍 LIKE us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alovereality 📷 FOLLOW us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/riyoung31/ 📚 LEARN more at our site: lovereality.org Join us for the best gathering on the internet, Internet Church.
