    Communicating In Spirit: When Communication Is Spiritual, Not Just Verbal

    What if your words are telling the truth about your walk with God? We open the new year by pressing into a challenging idea: communication is spiritual first, then verbal. From kitchen-table moments to church platforms, the tone of our speech, the speed of our reactions, and the voices we let shape us all reveal whether we’re led by logic or by the Spirit. Together we trace a thread through Scripture—Galatians 5:25, Habakkuk’s watchtower, Jesus’ warning about the yeast of the Pharisees—to show how revelation transforms information into power. We talk about why theology without intimacy falls flat, how gift differs from anointing, and how subtle “yeast” can taint a well and warp discernment. Along the way, we name what many feel but rarely say: atmospheres communicate, images speak, and inner checks from the Holy Spirit are often clearer than the loudest opinions in your feed. We also get practical. Words are seeds; they plant life or death in homes, marriages, and friendships. If past voices sowed curses, God can uproot them and send new voices to water truth. If you’re wondering whether it’s okay to step back from unhealthy ties, we talk boundaries without bitterness and how to let the Spirit—not fear—lead your decisions. We revisit James’ charge to be quick to listen and slow to speak, remembering that creation still responds to God’s voice and that intimacy with Him tunes our ears for timing, tone, and trust. If you’re hungry to hear God more clearly and speak with greater peace, this conversation will help you guard your well, choose better inputs, and let your tongue follow the Spirit.

    THE ULTIMATE LOVE LANGUAGE: WHAT IF IT'S A PERSON, NOT A PREFERENCE?

    What if the “ultimate love language” isn’t a preference but a Person? We open in prayer and walk straight into agape —selfless, sacrificial, enduring love—and how it outlasts feelings, fixes what doesn’t fix, and the subtle contracts we make when we demand to be loved our way. We get honest about how childhood abuse, church hurt, and father wounds can warp how we receive love and how we see God. Then we talk healing that sticks: Jesus removes the shrapnel through deliverance, and therapy becomes a tool to renew the mind, not a bandage over a bullet wound. We ground it in Scripture. John 3:16 reframes the cost of love; Ephesians 5 calls men to love like Christ; 1 Corinthians 13 confronts the root of conditional love. Along the way, we challenge the church’s complicity in enabling abuse and offer a safer, biblical path: love protects, speaks truth, and sets boundaries. If a partner is controlling, violent, or degrading, you’re not called to endure destruction God never ordained. We also unpack bloodline patterns—addiction, rage, adultery—and how the covenant with Jesus breaks cycles when confession, repentance, and Spirit-led obedience become daily life. We also sit with grief and the hard lesson of letting go: sometimes love means releasing people to God’s will rather than trying to be their savior. Discernment becomes your lifeline—studying patterns, listening to the Holy Spirit, and refusing to marry to fix a feeling or a situation. When agape becomes the foundation, homes heal, children learn safety, and both men and women grow in a love that doesn’t bargain. If this spoke to you, share it with someone who needs clarity and courage. Subscribe, leave a review, and tell us: what truth about love changed how you show up in relationships?

    The Gift Of Marriage: God's Design For Love, Covenant & Favor

    What if marriage isn’t something we build and ask God to bless, but a gift God authors in the Spirit and then reveals in the natural? We dig into a richer, quieter truth: love is the highest way, covenant is God’s idea, and favor flows where faithfulness stands. We connect Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 12 to show how spiritual gifts—service, encouragement, teaching, discernment—are meant to serve the person closest to us. Then we turn to 1 Corinthians 13 and reset the standard: without love, gifts become noise. From Genesis 2, we trace how God forms and brings, how covenant begins with His initiative, and why “helper” (ezer) means strong ally, not subordinate. Along the way, we name the counterfeits: relationships propped up by chemistry, performance, or a vibe that calls itself peace but drains your soul. Real peace aligns with God’s truth; real love is patient, kind, humble, and enduring. Malachi 2 pulls no punches about unfaithfulness and its spiritual consequences. We talk about how mistreating a spouse hinders worship, dulls discernment, and blocks favor. We also unpack the Hebrew nuance of favor—why a wife is described as a gracious gift that multiplies what is sown: love into peace, vision into solutions, seed into legacy. Leadership becomes service, not control; partnership becomes the rhythm. And for those in a season of singleness, we honor it as a gift with purpose, not a waiting room with shame. If you’re tired of carrying a relationship you built alone, this conversation offers a different move: start in the Spirit, let God speak, and allow the natural to confirm what He’s already said. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs clarity, and leave a review telling us how you’re choosing covenant over chemistry this week.

    The Spirit Realm: Part Two

    What if spiritual power isn’t about methods, but about permission? We open up the spirit realm with scripture and personal stories, showing why authority flows from a relationship with Jesus, not from rituals, followers, or hype. From Acts 19’s sons of Sceva to Daniel 10’s delayed angelic messenger, we map out how legitimacy, timing, and jurisdiction shape real breakthroughs and why “power without permission” invites backlash. We go straight at today’s spiritual counterfeits: Reiki presented as healing, empty affirmations posing as renewal, divination marketed as guidance, and even “Christian” expressions that subtly center self. First Corinthians 12 helps us discern authentic gifts that come from one Spirit. At the same time, Isaiah 11 guides us through the seven Spirits of God: wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge, fear of the Lord, and the Spirit of the Lord Himself. These operations of the Holy Spirit don’t just inform our faith; they protect us from trading intimacy for imitation. You’ll also hear a needed correction to a popular myth: Satan wasn’t “heaven’s worship leader.” Scripture paints a picture of a high-ranking cherub who guarded glory, not a choir director. Why does that matter? Because the enemy’s real strategy is mimicry: create the shape of the kingdom without its King. That’s why our focus returns to abiding in Christ. When we move where the Father sends us, evangelism becomes an assignment, authority becomes effortless, and our words carry weight because heaven backs them. Suppose you’re hungry to move into real authority, navigate spiritual warfare wisely, and recognize counterfeits without becoming cynical. In that case, this conversation will ground you in the Word and lift you into alignment.

    The Spirit Realm

    Power without permission is just noise. We dive into the spirit realm with a straight claim: real authority flows through one door, and that door is Jesus. Together we unpack why some prayers feel heavy while others land with quiet force, how atmospheres and altars shape the flow of gifts, and what the Bible actually says about entering by the Gate rather than climbing the wall. We ground the conversation in scripture and lived experience. Ephesians points to being seated with Christ in heavenly places, suggesting access by union rather than technique. John 10 draws a sharp line between the shepherd’s gate and the thief’s detour. First Corinthians 2 reminds us that spiritual truth can’t be manufactured by clever words; it’s revealed by the Spirit. That lens reframes common struggles: if your heart posture is misaligned, your spiritual “signal” scrambles. Volume won’t fix what surrender heals. We also examine the story of Simon the sorcerer in Acts 8 to show how ambition can masquerade as hunger for God and why the gifts of the Spirit cannot be bought or performed into existence. Across the episode we call out two modern traps: idolizing leaders instead of following Christ, and settling for charisma when the Spirit’s fruit is the real proof of presence. We explore the ethics of true spirituality through Isaiah’s portrait of the Messiah—no judging by appearance or hearsay, justice for the poor, decisions rooted in truth. If your “revelation” fuels pride or dehumanization, it’s not the Spirit of truth. Legal access isn’t elitist; it’s humble, ongoing agreement with Jesus that opens the right doors at the right time. If you’re longing for clarity, authority, and peace in prayer, this conversation will help you trade hacks for holiness and noise for the calm power of Christ.

    Breaking Cycles: Why You Keep Going In Circles

    If comfort has started to feel like a cave, this conversation is your map out. We start with the raw pattern in Judges, sin, oppression, repentance, rest, and ask the hard question: why do we keep circling the same ground when we love God? The answer isn’t more noise or new routines; it’s training. We unpack how God leaves “giants” in our landscape to teach warfare, strengthen obedience, and grow in real spiritual authority. That means formation that looks like fasting, Scripture, worship, and boundaries—reps under the bar that build capacity to stand when the pressure rises. Gideon’s story gives us a blueprint that cuts close to home: before you fight public battles, tear down private altars. We talk about the idols hiding in “culture” and “tradition,” how outrage becomes a substitute religion, and why every life carries a scent, either worship that draws God’s presence or smoke that attracts familiar oppression. Expect resistance, even from religious spaces that mix empire with faith. We choose the Kingdom Jesus named before Pilate, the kind that refuses to bow to power or panic and instead trains to love well, discern schemes, and walk in quiet authority. If you’re tired of repeating the same fights, here’s a practical framework: daily bread in the Word, small acts of obedience, rhythms of fasting and prayer, honest heart checks for idols, and a choice to fight the right enemy. We share stories, Scripture, and simple tools to help you break loops, recover identity in Christ, and step into steady peace. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs courage, and leave a review with your biggest “altar” you’re ready to tear down. We’re praying with you.

    Prayer

    Have you ever felt like prayer is just another task on your spiritual to-do list? What if prayer could transform from an obligation into the most natural conversation of your day? In this profound exploration of prayer, Walter and Shanea unpack what it truly means to communicate with God beyond religious formality. They reveal how prayer serves as "the language of the spirit" – not merely words spoken at designated times but an ongoing dialogue that permeates every moment of our lives. The couple shares a powerful revelation about moving from "expecting" to "knowing" in prayer, illustrated through Walter's relationship with his daughter. When she asks for something and he promises to provide it, she doesn't repeatedly ask because she trusts his word. Similarly, mature faith rests in God's promises rather than continuously petitioning for the same things. This shift fundamentally changes how we approach prayer – from anxious pleading to confident communion. Through biblical examples like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refusing to bow before the king's idol, Jesus raising Lazarus, and Peter walking on water, Walter and Shania demonstrate what unwavering faith looks like in practice. Each story reinforces that genuine prayer flows from understanding God's authority and keeping our focus on Him rather than surrounding circumstances. The most practical takeaway? Their challenge to meet with God three times daily for 21 consecutive days. This intentional practice helps transform prayer from an occasional activity into a lifestyle of spiritual connection. Whether through traditional prayer, worship, or simply conversing with God throughout your day, consistent communication builds the relationship necessary to walk confidently in the spirit. Ready to revolutionize your prayer life? Listen now and discover how to make communion with God as natural as breathing.

    The Remnant

    The line between genuine faith and religious performance has never been thinner. In this powerful opening to Season 2, we dive straight into a divine warning: a seducing spirit has been released that's capturing the ear gates and eye gates of believers everywhere. What does it mean to be part of "the remnant" - those few faithful followers who remain steadfast amid widespread spiritual deception? We unpack the spirit of Jezebel, which contrary to popular belief, isn't merely about sexual immorality but primarily about control and perversion of God's word. This spirit doesn't just attach to women; it typically finds its home in men who then influence others away from true worship. The most chilling reality we face is that many who call themselves Christians will one day hear Jesus say, "I never knew you." We examine the stark difference between cultural Christianity and true kingdom citizenship. When you truly encounter Christ, transformation is inevitable - producing fruit that can't be manufactured through human effort alone. In a time of heightened division, we challenge listeners to consider whose side they're truly on. Kingdom citizens aren't defined by political parties or racial ideologies but by their allegiance to God's kingdom culture. The suffering that comes with authentic discipleship isn't punishment but refinement, producing faith and endurance that strengthen our testimony. As judgment begins in the house of God, this is a critical moment to examine who you're following and being led by. Many leaders claiming to know God actually don't, and their followers will be led astray. Guard your heart, protect your spiritual gates, and commit to an authentic relationship with Jesus that transforms you from the inside out. The remnant may be small, but it remains faithful, spirit-led, and willing to suffer for Christ.
