    When You Hit Rock Bottom: Jonah’s Prayer and the Mercy of God

    Jonah Part 4: The Power of Prayer, God’s Mercy, and Deliverance from the Deep What happens when disobedience leads us into the depths of despair — and we finally cry out to God? In Part 4 of our Bible study through the book of Jonah, Reagan Kramer explores Jonah chapter 2, a powerful prayer from the belly of the great fish. Through Jonah’s desperate cry for help, we discover the depth of God’s mercy, His sovereignty over all creation, and His willingness to give us another chance when we turn back to Him. What does Jonah mean when he describes crying out from the belly of Sheol? Could his experience in the great fish point to something even deeper about death, resurrection, and Jesus Christ? We explore the biblical connections between Jonah’s three days and three nights in the fish and Jesus’ words in Matthew 12, along with the Old Testament imagery of the deep, the grave, and God’s authority over the waters. This episode is also a personal invitation to examine our own hearts. Like Jonah, we can allow pride, rebellion, and self-sufficiency to keep us from what God is calling us to do. Yet even in our darkest moments, God hears our prayers and invites us back into relationship with Him. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why Jonah’s prayer from the belly of the great fish reveals the power of crying out to God.What the Bible teaches about Sheol, the deep, and the realm of the dead.How Jonah’s three days and three nights connect to Jesus’ death and resurrection.What divine providence means and how God remains sovereign even in difficult circumstances.How pride, rebellion, and self-sufficiency can become obstacles to spiritual freedom.Why God sometimes calls us to do difficult things for our good, the good of others, and His glory.How prayer, repentance, and surrender help us experience God’s mercy and deliverance.Key Scripture References: Jonah 2; Matthew 12:38–41; Psalm 29; Romans 8:28; Hebrews 4:16; Isaiah 27:1; Revelation 20:13. Key Takeaway: No matter how far we have fallen or how deep the waters seem, God hears us when we cry out to Him. Salvation belongs to the Lord, and His mercy can meet us even in the places where we feel most hopeless. Join Reagan for this powerful exploration of Jonah’s prayer and be encouraged to release control, surrender your struggles to God, and trust Him to lead you into greater freedom.

    Are We Missing the Power of The Holy Spirit? | Laurel Bunker

    What if we’ve been missing the power of the Holy Spirit? In this transformative and powerful episode of Revelations Podcast, Reagan welcomes back Laurel Bunker, a sought after Speaker and Teacher and Vice President of Pulse Ministries, for an honest, challenging, and faith-filled conversation about the person, presence, and power of the Holy Spirit—and why every believer needs to understand who He is and how He works in our lives today. Why have so many Christians become uncomfortable with the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit? Together, Reagan and Laurel explore how the Enlightenment Era influenced the Church’s understanding of faith, reason, and spiritual power, and why we must be careful not to let intellectual understanding replace a living, active relationship with God. Laurel unpacks the biblical foundation of the Trinity and explains how the Holy Spirit teaches, comforts, convicts, transforms, and empowers us to live in obedience to Jesus. She also shares why spiritual discernment matters, how to test what we hear and believe against Scripture, and why Christians must be willing to repent, pursue holiness, and partner with the Holy Spirit rather than rely on their own strength. Reagan shares a personal story of encountering God through prayer and healing, while Laurel challenges believers to stop living as spectators and begin walking in the spiritual gifts God has given them. From healing and discernment to boldness in sharing the Gospel, this conversation is a call to deeper faith, greater spiritual hunger, and renewed expectation for what God can do. In this episode, you’ll discover: Who the Holy Spirit is and what it means to understand Him as the third person of the TrinityWhy the Holy Spirit is essential to living out our faithHow the Enlightenment shaped the Church’s relationship with reason and spiritual powerWhat it means to grieve the Holy Spirit and how repentance leads us toward transformationHow to test the spirits and practice biblical discernmentWhy spiritual maturity requires both the work of the Holy Spirit and our willingness to obeyHow the Holy Spirit develops holiness, renews our minds, and produces spiritual fruitWhy Christians should expect God to work through spiritual gifts, including healing, discernment, and prophecyHow to grow in your understanding of the Holy Spirit through prayer, Scripture, and Christian communityA challenge for every believer: Are you open to the fullness of the Holy Spirit’s work in your life? Laurel encourages listeners to study the names and work of the Holy Spirit, ask God to reveal areas of unbelief, and approach Him with humility, hunger, and expectation. It’s time to move beyond simply knowing about God and become disciples who live with the presence, power, and wonder of the Holy Spirit. Listen now, and be encouraged to live with renewed faith, spiritual discernment, and expectation for what God can do. Become Part of Our Mission!

    Jonah: Running From God, Resisting His Mercy, and the Mystery of the Great Fish

    What happens when we run from God—and what if His mercy extends to the very people we believe deserve judgment? In Part 3 of our Bible study on Jonah, Reagan Kramer continues exploring Jonah chapter 1, revealing the consequences of disobedience, the sovereignty of God, and the surprising faith of a group of pagan sailors who encounter the power of the one true God. When Jonah refuses God’s call to preach to Nineveh, he boards a ship headed in the opposite direction. A violent storm puts everyone aboard in danger, and Jonah eventually admits that his disobedience is the cause. But while Jonah is willing to face death rather than see his enemies receive mercy, the sailors respond with fear, prayer, and ultimately worship of the Lord. This episode explores the contrast between Jonah’s hardened heart and the sailors’ growing faith. It challenges us to consider how we respond to people whose beliefs, actions, or values oppose our own. Do we simply condemn them, or do we pray for God to reach them with His truth and transforming power? Reagan also unpacks the significance of the great fish that swallows Jonah for three days and three nights. Discover how Jesus later connects Jonah’s experience to His own death, burial, and resurrection, and explore the biblical symbolism of Sheol, the ancient world’s association with fish imagery, and the possibility of deeper meaning behind Jonah’s extraordinary experience. In this episode, we explore: Why Jonah ran from God and the consequences of his disobedienceHow our sin can affect the people around usThe surprising response of the sailors to God’s powerJonah’s bitterness toward Nineveh and the challenge of loving our enemiesHow Jonah’s three days and three nights foreshadow Jesus’ death and resurrectionThe biblical meaning of Sheol and the symbolism of the great fishAncient fish-god imagery and its possible connection to NinevehGod’s sovereignty, mercy, and desire to bring people into His kingdomAs we prepare to enter Jonah chapter 2, we are left with an important question: What was happening inside the belly of the great fish? Would Jonah finally turn back to God, or would he remain trapped in bitterness? Join Reagan for this continuing journey through Scripture as we discover how God can use even our rebellion, suffering, and unexpected circumstances to reveal His power and purpose. Subscribe to the Revelations Podcast for more biblical teaching, Scripture study, and conversations exploring the revelation of Jesus Christ and the freedom found in following Him.

    You Don’t Have to Earn God’s Love: Nick Hall on Breaking Free From Striving

    What if you stopped trying to prove that you’re enough—and simply received the love God has already given you? In this impactful and deeply vulnerable conversation, Reagan sits down with Nick Hall, founder and president of Pulse Ministries, to talk about something many Christians quietly struggle with: knowing that God loves you intellectually, but having a hard time actually receiving His love. Nick shares his incredible journey of following Jesus from childhood, surrendering his life to ministry at 18, working alongside some of the most influential evangelists of our time—and yet spending years believing that his worth was connected to what he could accomplish. For years, Nick lived with a “try harder” mentality. His identity became tied to achievement, approval, ministry, and being the person everyone could count on. Even while preaching about the love of God to thousands, he struggled to feel that love for himself. After years of painful seasons, loss, exhaustion, and what he describes as God “undoing” him, Nick began to discover a different way to live: not striving for God's approval, but resting in God's delight. They talk about: Why high achievers can struggle to receive God's loveThe difference between doing for God and abiding with GodWhat happens when your identity becomes tied to performanceBreaking free from the cycle of striving, exhaustion, and burnoutLearning to be comfortable simply being God's beloved son or daughterWhy vulnerability and confession should be normal parts of Christian lifeThe importance of having people who can speak truth and encouragement into your lifeWhy leaders need people who minister to them, not just people they minister toFinding healthy community, mentors, accountability, and prayerHow receiving God's love can transform your family and relationshipsBreaking generational patterns of performance and approvalWhy God's kindness is an invitation, not condemnationLearning to slow down enough to actually experience God's presenceOne of the most powerful moments comes when Nick remembers being in his garage during the pandemic, covered in sawdust, and realizing that he was experiencing God's love in a way he had never experienced it on a stage or at a major ministry event. As Nick says, “The aim is…let's not forget where our power comes from.” If you've ever felt like you have to do more, accomplish more, serve more, or prove yourself to be enough, this conversation is for you. You are not what you do. You are God's beloved.

    Freedom From Fear: Understanding the End Times| Replay with Jenny Mire

    “The end is coming!” Throughout the years, this short but terrifying sentence has sent shivers down the spines of believers, conjuring images of apocalyptic destruction and trials foretold by ancient texts. But should the faithful tremble at the thought of the book of Revelation, or is there a deeper understanding to be had? This is a question Jenny Mire was able to answer in her journey to understand the end times. In this episode of The Revelations Podcast, we take a deeper look into the Bible and human history. Jenny sheds light on Daniel's 70 Weeks prophecy, and why she believes that Jesus reigns in the present. She explains the Olivet Discourse and the relevance of the Old and New Covenant so we can better understand the meaning behind the book of Revelation. This episode will give you hope to continue Gods will in your life and peace to sustain you as you walk with Jesus!

The Greek word “escha” means last or farthest away.There are many different views and words for this study. Specifically, Jenny views it as the “last days.”Like many others, Reagan and Jenny have been exposed to the fear of the end times that Hollywood and society have perpetuated.However, the book of Revelations isn’t about fear. It is about the revealing of Jesus Christ.  [06:55] Jenny: “Revelation is ‘the revealing of’… It means the revealing of Jesus Christ. It is about Jesus. When you look at Revelations with those lenses of ‘Where are we seeing him revealed?’ your view starts to change.”   It reveals the New Covenant and what that means for us, believers.[07:23] The Major Views of the End TimesThe dispensational view looks at Revelations at different times. From the growth of the Church to the 7-year peace agreement of the Antichrist and Jesus’ return to reign and end all evil. The Church is raptured before, in the middle, or after the 7-year tribulationAmillennialism believes that Jesus reigns right now. There will be no rapture and the Church waits for Jesus’ second coming and then eternity.A preterist view believes the Revelations were fulfilled in the first century. A partial preterist believes that it has mostly been fulfilled and only awaits the return of Jesus.Other views include historical, post-millennialism, futurism, and idealism. Listen to the full episode to gain a better understanding of the different views of the end times with Jenny.Jenny is a partial preterist with an amillennialist viewpoint. She believes that Jesus is reigning in the present. Once He comes back, he will bring eternity.[13:09] The Journey Into Studying the book of RevelationIn 2020, Jenny started questioning what other people told her about the end times. She started reading Revelations and felt uneasy about how some things didn’t make sense.She discovered that the 7-year tribulation theology came from Daniel's 70 Weeks prophecy. Jenny started reading the Book of Daniel and listened to different viewsJenny started studying the Hebrew writings in Daniel. It's through this that she better understands the 70 Weeks prophecy and how it actually refers to Jesus and His ministry.The next step in her journey was understanding what Matthew 24 says when talking about the end times and the great tribulation.In the past year, she studied Revelations and listened to different views and perspectives. With prayer, Jenny felt the Holy Spirit confirm her beliefs not with fear but with peace.[17:02] A Deeper Look Into Pre-Tribulation Rapture Theology and HistoryDispensationalism was made popular in the 1800s by John Nelson Darby. His work has then been taught in seminaries.Josephus was a first-century Jewish historian. He documented the history of the Jewish-Roman War. His works are crucial in understanding the views of the end times.In Matthew 23, Jesus proclaimed destruction and judgment on that generation before He died in 30 AD. In 66 AD, Roman armies surrounded Jerusalem before pulling out and allowing Christians who heeded Jesus’ warnings to flee the city.The Roma-Jewish War lasted for 3 and a half years as written in the books of Revelations and Daniel. It ended in 70 AD after a final siege lasting 5 months.A better understanding of these dates gave Jenny a deeper look. Learn more about these historical dates and Bible writings in Jenny’s full explanation in this episode.[27:02] The Book of RevelationsMany believe that John wrote Revelations between 90 and 95 AD. However, based on his age and writing, it makes sense to have been written around 60 ADRevelations is the last book in the Bible as it describes the destruction of the temple and how it embodies the Mosaic Covenant.Jenny asks important questions to better understand Revelations in her journey. This brings her to the realization that the Old Covenant is done and the New Covenant has everything we need.[31:30] Explaining the Olivet DiscourseThe Olivet Discourse is found in Matthew 24 and Luke 21. Before this, Jesus calls out the Pharisees and scribes as hypocrites in Matthew 23.Jesus and His disciples talk about His proclamation of judgment on the Pharisees, the destruction of the temple, and when it will occur. The disciples ask Jesus about the signs of coming and the end of the age, referring to the Old Covenant Age.In Matthew, Jesus refers to the “Abomination of Desolation” mentioned by Daniel about the first-century destruction. Luke 21 tells the same story of this discourse where he writes about this desolation as Jerusalem surrounded by armies.These chapters and verses can be seen in the Roman-Jewish war between 66 AD and 70 AD.Jesus’ proclamation was fulfilled. Romans conquered, took people captive, and left others dead. Not one stone was left in the temple when it was destroyed in the war.[42:38] The End of the Old CovenantThe 70 weeks of Daniel was during Jesus’ 3-and-a-half-year ministry. He was crucified midway through the 70th week.  [43:19] Jenny: “When Jesus came when he resurrected and ascended into heaven, He began reigning at that point. The new covenant was in effect for those who accepted it.”   After Jesus' resurrection and ascension, the New Covenant and His reign began.This overlapped with the Old Covenant as it became obsolete and slowly vanished. The fall of the temple was the end of the Old Covenant.[46:14] Following the Way of the New CovenantRecently, there has been talk about rebuilding the temple. However, Jenny believes that this is a distraction of the enemy from our task to grow and become many.  [46:34] Jenny: “You and I are the temple and the Holy Spirit. God dwells in us and where He dwells is His glory. So when it says the glory will fill the whole Earth, that is us, believers.”   People are so focused on what can happen in the future that it distracts us from what we should be doing. Many are scared and choose not to live their lives due to this fear.We get stuck in fear. However, it’s important to ask about if this is from the Lord. The Lord is perfect love and not based on fear.John, as a prophet of the first century, wrote Revelations referring to the first destruction of the temple like the prophets of the Old Testament.Jenny believes we are at the end of the book, experiencing Jesus’ reign and waiting for His return. We are made spiritually new in Christ but yearn for physical restoration.[56:16] Freedom From Fear By Understanding the End TimesWhat Jenny has learned about the end times has helped her in understanding the New Covenant.She is now on a new journey to find out what it means to be a new creation and know our true identity.Once we stop fearing and looking for the Antichrist and more, we can focus on Jesus and the New Covenant. There is freedom from fear to be able to live and move forward.  About JennyJenny Mire is the founder of The Rooted Truth and Think Fit.

    When God Interrupts Your Plans: Jonah, Obedience & the Holy Spirit

    What happens when God asks you to do something—and you run the other way? In Part 2 of our study through the book of Jonah, Reagan Kramer dives into Jonah 1 and the powerful story of a prophet who heard directly from God but chose to go in the opposite direction. As Jonah boards a ship for Tarshish, a violent storm reveals something deeper: we cannot escape God’s purposes, and our disobedience can affect the people around us. Reagan explores the sovereignty of God, human free will, spiritual warfare, salvation by grace through faith, and the difference between following God’s leading and trying to live life in our own strength. She also examines the fascinating biblical practice of casting lots and why, after Pentecost, believers have the Holy Spirit to lead, guide, and give wisdom. Most importantly, this episode challenges us to look honestly at our own lives. Where might God be asking you to obey, but you are hesitating, hiding, or going the opposite direction? Reagan shares personal stories of moments when the Holy Spirit prompted her to reach out, encourage someone, or share what God had placed on her heart—and the unexpected blessing that came through obedience. In this episode: Jonah’s decision to run from God’s callingThe storm God used to get Jonah’s attentionWhat biblical sovereignty meansGod’s sovereignty and human free willWhy we cannot save ourselves through good worksJonah sleeping through the stormThe significance of the sailors calling out to their godsCasting lots in the Old TestamentWhy believers have the Holy Spirit to lead and guide themJonah’s calling to bring the message of God to NinevehHow disobedience can cause us to miss opportunities to be a blessingLearning to recognize and respond to the Holy SpiritThe freedom and blessing found in obedienceReflection question:Where have you made it all about yourself and potentially missed the blessing God has called you to be a part of? How long are you going to say no to God?  What consequences will you face? Have you thanked God for His mercy and grace over your life?
