    Why Playing Small Is Keeping You From the Supernatural Life God Gave You | Wendy Backlund

    What if one of the biggest things keeping you from experiencing the supernatural Christian life isn’t a lack of faith—but believing you’re smaller than God created you to be? Wendy Backlund joins Shaun Tabatt to explore what it means to stop playing small and begin living from the supernatural identity believers have been given in Christ. Drawing from her book Living from the Unseen: Reflections from a Transformed Life, Wendy shares how her journey moved from striving and performance into a growing awareness of God’s presence, His voice, and the unseen realm. During the conversation, Wendy shares a provocative challenge she believes God gave her: “Being small is not going to change the world.” She also explains what she means when she says believers have “permission to be as glorious as you want”—not as competition with God, but as an invitation to stop diminishing what He has placed within His people. Shaun and Wendy also discuss: • Why Christians sometimes downplay their supernatural identity • How Wendy learned to recognize God’s voice • Why hearing God often begins with small impressions • How to distinguish God’s voice from your own thoughts • Why striving can make hearing God more difficult • What it means to live aware of the unseen realm • Why Christians can sometimes give darkness too much attention • The relationship between imagination and faith • Why Wendy calls imagination “the womb of faith” • Treating Scripture as seed rather than merely information • Why Wendy journals what she believes God is saying • Angels and spiritual awareness • How renewing your mind affects your emotions • Practical ways to begin living from the unseen If you’ve ever wondered whether there is more to walking in the Spirit than what you are currently experiencing, this conversation will challenge you to rethink what it means to live from your identity in Christ.

    Wm. Paul Young Returns to The Shack: Forgiveness, Justice, and the Unforgivable

    Nearly twenty years after The Shack became a worldwide phenomenon, Wm. Paul Young returns to the story with Return to the Shack: A Journey into Redemption. In this deeply personal conversation, Paul reveals why he finally decided to revisit Mackenzie Allen Phillips and how nearly a decade of friendships with men on death row helped inspire the new story. At the heart of Return to the Shack is an extraordinary question: What happens when forgiveness is no longer theoretical? Mack must come face-to-face with the man who abducted and murdered his daughter—and wrestle with whether anyone is truly beyond redemption. Paul also shares a remarkably vulnerable experience from his own life. After someone he deeply cares about was seriously harmed, Paul found himself consumed with thoughts of vengeance, even waking in the middle of the night thinking about how he could kill the person responsible. That experience forced him to confront the difference between talking about forgiveness and actually living it. In this conversation, Shaun and Paul explore forgiveness, justice versus vengeance, enemy love, grief, redemption, the goodness of God, and why Paul believes the world doesn't simply need to be fixed—it needs to be healed. They also discuss the theology behind Return to the Shack, Paul's friendships with men on death row, Mack and Nan's journeys, Easter eggs connecting Paul's novels, and what he hopes readers experience when they enter the Shack again.

    1005: He Burned the Cursed Antique—But the Demonic Oppression Didn’t Stop | Eric Davis

    A stranger chased Eric Davis to his car and insisted that he accept a free antique wooden statue. Soon afterward, disturbing spiritual activity began affecting Eric's family. His three-year-old daughter repeatedly reported seeing three little men standing in her bedroom. Unexplained odors and strange lights appeared inside the home. Convinced that the antique was connected to the activity, Eric burned it—but the spiritual oppression did not completely end. Years later, Eric and his wife purchased their dream home: an 1837 plantation with a Civil War-era hospital and a long history of reported paranormal activity. There, the manifestations escalated into an intense spiritual battle that placed extraordinary pressure on their home, marriage, and faith. In this gripping conversation, Eric shares: Why the antique dealer was determined to give him the statue What his young daughter repeatedly saw in her bedroom Why destroying the cursed object did not end the oppression The disturbing history of the plantation property The terrifying manifestations his family experienced there The moment Eric found himself unable to say the name of Jesus Why prayer and anointing the property brought only temporary relief How unforgiveness became a critical part of the spiritual battle What finally brought freedom to Eric's family and home How the experience transformed Eric's faith and led him into deliverance ministry Eric recounts the complete story in his book, Deliverance at Springhill Plantation.

Walton to discuss his new book, Old Testament Theology for Christians: From Ancient Context to Enduring Belief, and the key insights it offers for modern readers. This episode explores key topics like Old Testament theology, biblical interpretation, ancient Near Eastern context, covenant theology, and how to understand Scripture as a modern Christian. Perfect for pastors, Bible teachers, seminary students, and serious students of Scripture. We explore why modern readers often misunderstand the Old Testament—and how recovering its ancient Near Eastern context changes everything about how we read Scripture. Dr. Walton explains: Why Christians struggle to understand the Old Testament—and how to fix it How ancient Near Eastern context changes biblical interpretation What "biblical authority" actually means (and why it's often misunderstood) The real meaning of covenant in the Bible and why it defines Israel's identity Why Old Testament "salvation" is different from New Testament salvation What the Bible actually teaches about afterlife, resurrection, and eternal life If you've ever struggled to understand the Old Testament—or wondered how it connects to your faith today—this conversation will give you a powerful new framework.
