211. How to Hear God's Voice
Do you believe that you can hear the voice of God? Do you know that God is speaking to you about many things all the time? Many Christians don’t realize that as children we are designed to hear our father’s voice – “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me.” – John 10:14. We were created to operate in sync with God’s voice for our life. In this episode I will talk about how we can hear the voice of God and identify ways that God is talking to us. You will grow in faith to know more about what God is trying to show you for your daily life and bigger decisions.

209. The Unseen Realm with Jason Chin
Do you feel stuck, spiritually unfulfilled, or wonder why God’s promises seem just out of reach? Jason Chin came from a very broken childhood with violence and abuse and shares how God got a hold of his mom and eventually him. He had a lot of anger issues and got kicked out of every high school he attended. He shares how the power of encouragement led him to break low self-esteem and eventually learned how to be led by the voice of God. Jason shares how the power of the unseen realm can be brought into the seen realm, like an iceberg. What we see with our eyes doesn’t compare to what God sees. He had a dream to see revival in Disney World and God made it happen! You will be encouraged by Jason’s love of God and revival and joyful zeal.

208. Your Courageous Calling | Courage of Charlie Kirk
We have all seen the news and impact of Charlie Kirk’s assassination on September 10th and the shooting at Assumption Church and the increased violence. Something is so different with this Charlie Kirk’s death. He wasn’t just a political commentator or news guy. He was a devoted Christian, father and husband who followed through on this dream.

I get real and vulnerable with struggles I have had, fear I have let take over, and how my courage has grown even just in the last month from his death. That’s not from a man, that’s God moving through one man. And each of us can be that one man or woman. What is God calling you to be courageous about? Joshua 1:9 (NIV) “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous.

206. When Loved Ones Don’t Get the Help They Need
Do you feel discouraged from certain relationships in your life? Do you have loved ones who aren’t getting the help you believe that they need? In this episode, you will hear some practical applications and encouragement when relationships can feel so deflating. You will hear how we can walk in our identity in Christ no matter what is around us, and ways we can navigate God’s truth when we bump into difficult issues with others. We are called to walk in God’s love, but it’s hard when we don’t feel His love due to relationships around us. God has better plans even with difficult relationships. We can walk with quiet humility knowing who we are in Christ and love others because we see them the way God does. “For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ.” ~2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (ESV) “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms”. ~Ephesians 6:12 (NIV) Find more about Heidi: Join my mailing list: If you are in crisis, help is available by call or text 1-800-273-8255 24/7.

205. God’s Voice Provides our Identity with Donna Winship
Donna believed that she wasn’t smart enough, didn’t belong and didn’t fit in. She had lie-based thinking and was getting her identity from what she did, what people said about her and what she had. Growing up Jewish, she had a very strong tight community but only traditions and laws. She had a sense of guilt and shame and not a personal relationship with God. You will hear about her and her husband Jamie’s testimony when he was in law enforcement in DC, while she was a teacher living the American dream. Something was different with them: they listened to the voice of God. This unique and powerful episode will leave you yearning for more of a real intimate relationship with God for you, not anyone else. Like Moses, knowledge doesn’t change our life, an encounter does. God is calling us each to our burning bush moment, the Kairos moment for us to truly know who we are in Christ. Donna states that our being informs our doing. “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” ~Romans 12:1-2 “After the arrest of John, Jesus went into Galilee and proclaimed the gospel of God. “The time is fulfilled,” He said, “and the kingdom of God is near.

Do you feel like God is doing a new thing in you? Have you felt like you’ve been in transition? I have been in a transition season this past year after selling my business and I am sensing God drawing me into His heart in a deeper way than I’ve ever been before. I am sensing that I need to lay down the podcast for a season until I have the green light again. Normally I am a big dreamer and have all sorts of ideas but right now I don’t have anything. I am trying to listen to God and what He has for me during this time. Maybe you are in the same place. I will walk through what we need to do during hard and awkward times of change, pruning, stretching and growth. You will experience encouragement and ministry in this episode as we explore what God is doing right now during this season of transition for many of us. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. ~Isaiah 43:19 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit. ~John 15:2 For those whom the Lord loves He discipline. ~Hebrews 12:6 Find more about Heidi: Purchase the book The Brave Encourager: Join my mailing list: If you are in crisis, help is available by call or text 1-800-273-8255 24/7.

202. Seeing Angels and Demons with Micah Turnbo
Have you seen angels and demons? Do you sense things in the spirit? In this encouraging episode with Seer and Prophet Micah Turnbo, you will be drawn into the heart of God and a relationship with the Holy Spirit. As a child, Micah could see angels, demons and other spiritual creatures. This episode will dive into many great topics, including when to seek counseling even when you have spiritual gifts. Often people are diagnosed with mental illnesses when they have spiritual sensitivities and gifts that just need to used. Micah’s mom stewarded his gift well so he knew he had gifts. We aren’t wrong for feeling our intense feelings. We need to learn how to listen to the Holy Spirit, let God teach us and grow in discernment. And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says: ‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, And seeing you will see and not perceive; For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.’ But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear; for assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it. ~Matthew 13:14-17 Micah’s website: Find more about Heidi: If you are in crisis, help is available by call or text 1-800-273-8255 24/7.

201. Addiction Is Not a Disease with Melissa Huray
Have you felt ashamed of your addiction? Do you want to experience God’s empowerment instead of judgement? Melissa Huray with an author and host of the Hope Report. She challenges our typical belief in addictions and shifts us to think of the radical hope of being free because of Jesus. Many think addictions are a disease but Melissa challenges us to see it as an attempt to solve a problem. In this episode you will hear about some of the controversial topics around addiction, deliverance, and mental health. Melissa believes that the medicalization of addiction keeps people trapped and that we have it forever. She experienced radical freedom from addiction but quickly realized her addiction was from trauma in her childhood, shame, image issues, self-esteem and panic attacks. We need to go after the root issues that cause the addiction, not medicate as a band-aid to the real problem. God wants us to feel empowered and free, not continually live in a place of shame for the rest of our life. “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” ~Ephesians 2:10 Melissa’s website: To purchase Melissa’s book: Heidi’s website: If you are in crisis, help is available by call or text 1-800-273-8255 24/7.

199. Hope After Church Hurt with Joe Dobbins
Church hurt is a word that has been used quite a bit lately but what does it mean? And if we have been hurt by a church, what does Jesus want for us in response? What we often don’t see when we are hurt is that it is the people of God who hurt us, but God’s heart is for us to be healed. Pastor Joe Dobbins is the lead pastor of Twin Rivers Church in Missouri, USA, and he write a book called “Hope After Church Hurt”. He talks about 8 unique hurts from the church and how we can find a unique path forward. We often ask the question why and this is not always helpful. Some topics discussed are hypocrisy, judgementalism, rejection, sexual abuse, toxic leaders and more. This episode will empower you to make a decision to say yes to Jesus healing your hurt, instead of staying in it. You don’t need to be partially healed, but all the way. We aren’t in charge of this, Jesus is. But Jesus doesn’t heal us without us saying YES to the healer. “Just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.” Colossians 2:6-7 Joe’s website: https://www.joedobbins.org/about Purchase Joe’s book: Find more about Heidi: If you are in crisis, help is available by call or text 1-800-273-8255 24/7.

197. False Prophets and Psychological Control with Dr. Mark Chironna
Have you experienced false prophesy and psychological damage from it? Have you had a leader in your church demand that you listen to them even though their character was tainted? In this revelatory episode, you will hear the brilliant Dr. Mark Chironna talk about the biblical intention of prophesy and how we have gravitated towards trinket show prophesy instead of Jesus. He talks about the shift in the church of egos wanting to be praised instead of seeking the real savior in Jesus Christ. We all have aspects of our psyche like memory, imagination, intuition, will, cognition and this is part of being a human being. We are subjective and have opinions, distortions and biases. We need accountability in the prophetic. We need to focus on character, the fruit of the spirit and self-awareness. If we lose the perspective of the nature of the God-head and worship is about what feels good. We need to fall in love with Jesus and see the beauty of prophesy through Him. “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.” ~Matthew 7:15 “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The LORD of hosts.” ~Isaiah 6:5 “The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.” ~1 Corinthians 14:32 Mark’s website: Purchase Rising with Hope: A 30-Day Devotional for Overcoming Anxiety and Depression: Find more about Heidi: If you are in crisis, help is available by call or text 1-800-273-8255 24/7.

193. Impossible to Possible Relationships
When the trauma and pain others have that they aren’t deal with affects us, it gets really hard. We want to just check out or leave or not continue that relationship. This is how divorce and broken families happens. But what about what God can do? How do we allow God to move in dry and hard ground where there isn’t permission by the person? For example, a spouse who is not a believer and continues to struggle with addiction, abusive language and heart towards others? People may or not be aware of the harm they are causing. Some of the harm may be name calling, belittling, impatience, passive aggressiveness, gaslighting, ignoring, and more. In this episode, you will hear how God can bring us and our loved ones into awareness of that which we are avoiding or unaware of. He is the God of the impossible. And that what we don’t love, we won’t have authority over. “Jesus said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.’” Matthew 28:18 “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” ~Ephesians 6:12 “Under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and rampart.” ~Psalms 91:4 Find more about Heidi: Purchase the book The Brave Encourager: Join my mailing list: If you are in crisis, help is available by call or text 1-800-273-8255 24/7.

191. It Starts in the Heart | Mark 7
Do you feel like you have big emotions and can’t control them? Or you have people around you who continue to have big emotions and make unhealthy choices with them? We can speak all you we but if our heart is impure and defiled, what comes out of it won’t be good. We can get stuck in bitterness, fear, anger or unforgiveness and have spiritual blindness that we don’t want. The fruit that grows is more important that what is said. Jesus wants us to live with joy, vitality, peace and with a pure and holy heart. Hear this inspiring episode about Mark 7 and how our hearts have more impact on the fruit in our life. “A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” Luke 6:45 “‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’ You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions.” ~Mark 7:6-8 Find more about Heidi: Purchase the book The Brave Encourager: Join my mailing list: If you are in crisis, help is available by call or text 1-800-273-8255 24/7.

In this episode, you will hear how we can beat distraction, even with a lot of noise in our world right now. “Do not love the world or the things in the world.

And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.” ~John 2:15-17 To get Magic Mind, you can get 20% off one time purchases with code STRONGTOWER at checkout.
