    I Was a Lesbian Who Dared God to Save Me

    Heather O'Brien grew up as a pastor's daughter. But at just 16 years old, she told God she hated Him and wanted nothing more to do with Him. For nearly two decades, Heather ran from God. She served in the military, deployed to Iraq, spent years in lesbian relationships, and struggled with PTSD, addiction, severe mental health challenges, and a suicide attempt. For years, she refused to even step inside a church. Then one day, she decided to go back—not because she wanted to surrender her life to Jesus, but because she wanted to prove He couldn't save her. What happened when she walked through those doors was nothing like she expected. Instead of condemnation, Heather encountered God's presence. And when two women approached her to pray, one began speaking words Heather had privately repeated to herself every night while taking her medication. How could a complete stranger possibly know? In this powerful episode of Sips of Grace, Heather shares her journey from rebellion and brokenness to an unexpected encounter with Jesus that transformed her life. She opens up about leaving behind her former lesbian identity, finding peace after years of mental torment, rebuilding her relationship with her family, and discovering what it truly means to be loved by God. Heather didn't return to Jesus because she wanted to change her sexuality. She came because she was desperate for peace. And what followed was a journey of healing, surrender, and restoration.

    The Truth About Christa Pike, Satanic Rituals & Her Failed Execution

    A woman on death row survives a lethal injection. Was it a medical failure, the power of prayer, or could something spiritual have been involved? In this special collaboration, I join Adira Polite, host of Then God Moved, for a conversation about spiritual warfare, occultism, the power of intercession, and the hope found in Jesus Christ. At the center of their discussion is the disturbing case of Christa Pike, a convicted murderer with a history of occult involvement whose execution did not go as planned. Adira, a former death penalty appeals paralegal, shares her personal connection to the case and how she felt led to pray for Christa before the execution. Together, we explore the questions surrounding what happened, including speculation about witchcraft, the possibility of answered prayer, and the medical circumstances of the failed execution. The conversation also explores the controversial cases of Gypsy Rose Blanchard and the West Memphis Three, as well as a separate incident involving a satanic invocation at an Iowa city council meeting. But beyond the disturbing headlines, this episode points to something far greater: the power of Jesus to redeem even the most broken lives and the importance of praying for those who seem beyond hope. Adira and I also share powerful testimonies of lives transformed by Jesus, discuss spiritual discernment, and reflect on how God has been working through their ministries. Could God be using even the darkest circumstances to draw people to Himself? 🎙️ This episode is a collaboration between Sips of Grace and Then God Moved, hosted by Adira Polite.

    Halloween Exposed: What A Former Wizard Wants You To Know

    Should Christians celebrate Halloween? What if the traditions we've always considered harmless have spiritual origins we know nothing about? In this special Sips of Grace collaboration, Natalie Rose welcomes back Brother Matthew from Christian Coffee Time. Before giving his life to Jesus Christ, Matthew spent 16 years deeply involved in witchcraft and the occult, practicing rituals, communicating with spirits, and teaching others about occult practices. Now, he's sharing his firsthand perspective on Halloween, its dark origins, and why he believes Christians should reconsider participating in this holiday. From trick-or-treating and jack-o'-lanterns to handing out candy, Matthew explores the connections he draws between modern Halloween traditions and ancient pagan rituals. He explains why handing out Halloween candy as an offering and what Christians need to understand about the spiritual significance of October 31. Natalie and Matthew also discuss spiritual warfare, whether celebrating Halloween can open spiritual doors, what the Bible teaches about separating ourselves from darkness, and how parents can talk with their children about Halloween. Is avoiding Halloween simply a personal conviction, or is there a deeper biblical reason Christians should examine this celebration? This conversation is an invitation to seek the Lord, examine Scripture, and consider whether the traditions we participate in align with our faith in Jesus Christ.

    I Saw Jesus Face to Face After a 3-Day Deliverance

    Here’s the podcast-platform description with timestamps added: Nicosie Love shares a powerful testimony of spiritual warfare, deliverance, and encountering Jesus in a way she says changed her life. From a young age, Nicosie experienced loss, fear, and spiritual darkness. At 14, she went through an intense three-day deliverance after learning about witchcraft in her family lineage. In the years that followed, she continued to experience spiritual warfare, powerful encounters with the Holy Spirit, and eventually an experience she describes as seeing Jesus face to face and hearing Him speak to her in Aramaic. Through every part of her testimony, Nicosie points back to Jesus — to knowing Him, finding identity in Christ, understanding the authority believers have through Him, and trusting that darkness does not have the final word. This is a deeply personal testimony of deliverance, spiritual warfare, freedom, and the transforming power of Jesus Christ.

    I Thought Healing Was for “Special” Christians—Then This Happened

    For more than 20 years, Judy Deese was a committed Christian—but she believed praying for the sick and seeing miracles was something God used other people to do. Then everything changed. After witnessing a healing at her own church, Judy’s daughter challenged her to pray the same way. Judy then commanded her daughter’s shorter leg to grow in the name of Jesus—and watched it move right in front of her. That moment changed the way Judy understood the Christian life. Since then, Judy shares that she has prayed for people dealing with pain, physical conditions, blindness, and much more—and has witnessed miraculous healing! In this episode of Sips of Grace, Judy shares why she once thought healing was for pastors and “special” Christians, the moment that changed her perspective, how she began praying for others, what she does when she doesn’t immediately see a result, and why Jesus—not the person praying—is the healer. “It’s not just the special people… it’s all of us.” ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Judy thought healing was for “special” Christians 02:30 God wakes Judy with a message 08:54 Judy watches a leg grow 12:20 “You have the exact Holy Spirit that I have” 14:06 Judy prays for her daughter 17:15 Her leg moves 28:47 How Judy started praying for strangers 34:03 Miracles that changed her confidence 39:30 How Judy actually prays for healing 54:18 What if you don’t see immediate healing? 1:03:09 Judy’s closing prayer Judy also teaches free online classes designed to help Christians understand how Scripture calls believers to pray for healing and minister to others.

    Kidnapped at 7—They Said I’d Never Make It Home

    At just 7 years old, Lauren Burns thought she was going trick-or-treating with her father. Instead, he drove her to the airport, put her on a plane, and took her thousands of miles away to Jordan. Within days, Lauren realized this wasn’t a vacation. She was enrolled in school, separated from her mother, and left wondering if she would ever make it home. Back in Texas, Lauren’s mom was desperately searching for a way to get her daughter back. Again and again, she was told there was nothing anyone could do. Then she turned to God. After three days of fasting and prayer, everything began to change. Connections that seemed impossible started falling into place. A group of former military men with experience in the Middle East agreed to take on a mission they had never attempted before: rescuing a kidnapped child from Jordan. While Lauren had no idea anyone was coming for her, people were praying, planning, searching, and risking everything to bring her home. What unfolded next involved a covert rescue operation, an escape toward the Israeli border, a decoy plan, authorities searching for them, and a race to get Lauren out of Jordan before it was too late. But Lauren’s testimony doesn’t end with the rescue. Years later, she still had to wrestle with trauma, father wounds, forgiveness, and a difficult question: If God was good, why had He allowed this to happen at all? In this episode of Sips of Grace, Lauren shares how Jesus met her in those wounds, how she learned to see her Heavenly Father differently than her earthly father, and how looking back allowed her to recognize something she couldn’t see as a child: God had been working behind the scenes the entire time. This is an extraordinary testimony of kidnapping, rescue, healing, forgiveness, and the faithfulness of God when circumstances seem impossible. Lauren’s new book, STOLEN, tells the full story of her kidnapping, rescue, and the details behind the operation that brought her home.
