The Faith of the Father(s) w/ Karl Gessler

Karl Gessler

The Faith of the Father (s) is a podcast devoted to proclaiming and demonstrating the reality of Jesus Christ—risen from the dead and actively at work today, healing the sick and casting out demons just as He did in the Scriptures. Rooted in the careful study of the Bible and the witness of the Church throughout history, this podcast seeks to learn from the faith of the fathers—from the earliest believers to faithful witnesses in the present day. We hold that the ministry of Jesus did not end in the Gospels, but continues through men and women indwelt by the Holy Spirit and obedient to His voice. Hosted by Karl Gessler, The Faith of the Fathers features candid conversations with those who have walked out of deep trauma, abuse, and bondage and have found real healing in Jesus. It also includes interviews with believers who have witnessed and participated in profound works of God—miracles of healing, deliverance, salvation, and even the raising of the dead—through courageous and faithful obedience to Christ. At its core, this podcast affirms a simple conviction: God intends to govern the world through human beings filled with His Spirit, living in truth, authority, and love. By returning to Scripture and the lived faith of the Church, The Faith of the Fathers invites listeners to know Jesus not as a distant figure of the past, but as the living Lord who continues His work today.

    The “Perfect Prayer” You Aren’t Using: Breaking Mental Blocks to Speaking in Tongues

    Send us Fan Mail Have you struggled to receive the gift of tongues—or wondered why it seems beyond your reach? The barrier may not be spiritual. It may be mental. In this episode of The Faith of the Fathers, Karl Gessler exposes the “Western rationalist block” that can prevent believers from yielding to the Holy Spirit. Speaking in tongues is more than a missionary tool or an optional spiritual experience. It is a powerful gift for intercession—allowing the Holy Spirit to pray through you beyond the limits of your natural understanding. In this episode, you will discover: • Why your mind is “unfruitful” when you pray in the Spirit—and why that is not a problem • How fear, self-consciousness, and intellectual control can hinder spiritual flow • Why human cooperation is essential for God’s will to be accomplished on Earth • How praying in tongues can become a powerful weapon in intercession and deliverance • A remarkable testimony involving an ancestral part being resolved through tongues • Practical steps to receive and release the gift of tongues Karl concludes with a guided prayer and activation designed to help you move beyond fear, yield to the Holy Spirit, and release the river of Living Water Jesus has placed within you. Don’t allow religious traditions, mental resistance, or the fear of looking foolish to keep you from the empowerment God intended for His Church. It is time to move beyond the limitations of the natural mind and pray with the Spirit.

    God’s Will Isn’t Automatic—Here’s Why

    Send us Fan Mail Does God’s will always happen—or can fear, hesitation, and disobedience cause us to miss what He intended? After returning from a transformative 6,650-mile ministry trip across the country, Karl and Susie Gessler sit down to discuss the divine appointments they experienced, the opportunities they almost missed, and the lessons they learned about partnering with God. Many Christians assume that everything that happens must be God’s sovereign will. But Scripture reveals that God has given human beings genuine authority and responsibility. Our prayers, choices, courage, and obedience truly matter. In this episode, Karl and Susie explore:  Whether God’s will happens automatically  How fear can prevent us from stepping through an open door  The difference between God’s timing and a missed opportunity  Why divine sovereignty does not eliminate human responsibility  How prayer and obedience help bring God’s purposes into the world  What to do when you believe you may have missed God  How to recognize and respond to divine appointments This is more than a theological discussion. It is a call to reject passivity and recognize the important role God has given you in advancing His Kingdom. You are not merely a spectator in God’s plan. You have been invited to participate.

    The Sleeper Cells the Church Can't Ignore | Kelly Hawley

    Send us Fan Mail What happens when survivors share experiences that challenge our assumptions about trauma, spiritual warfare, and the unseen realm? In this episode, Karl Gessler sits down with Kelly Hawley of Warrior Bride Ministries to discuss her journey from childhood sexual abuse to healing, freedom, and a calling to help survivors of severe trauma. Kelly shares how Warrior Bride Ministries ministers to those recovering from ritual abuse, fragmentation, and complex trauma through biblical inner healing, deliverance, prayer ministry, intensives, free classes, and the annual Counting the Cost Conference. Karl and Kelly also discuss some of the unusual reports they've encountered while ministering to survivors, including claims of alien abductions, sleeper programming, soul transference, and other experiences that often cause churches to dismiss those seeking help.
