EP. 229 — Breaking the Cultural Gag Order on the Gospel
Welcome to The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast, where faith meets purpose. This is the official podcast of Ryan Johnson Ministries, where we are here to forge stronger disciples and equip the Body of Christ for God’s glory. In this episode, we dive into the weighty question: Will this be enough to keep you silent? Sharing sensitive or controversial information can come at a high cost—backlash, criticism, and even broken relationships. But what happens when staying silent compromises truth, integrity, or the well-being of others? We explore the tension between courage and caution, and what it means to navigate the storm of negative reactions without losing your voice. When the pressure to stay quiet grows louder, will you choose silence—or stand and speak?

EP. 228 — The Hidden War Over Near-Death Experiences (You’ve Been Lied To)
In this gripping episode of The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast, Ryan Johnson and Michael Riley welcome investigative author Shaun Tabatt to discuss his new book, The NDE Conspiracy. This isn’t just another conversation about near-death experiences (NDEs)—it’s a spiritual wake-up call. Shuan reveals why so many NDE stories are being hijacked by the enemy, how intercession could pull people out of hell, and why Christians must reclaim this conversation from mediums and new age influencers. From his wife's powerful encounter before her passing to demonic deceptions disguised as "light," this episode is full of supernatural insight, biblical clarity, and a bold call to discernment. If you've ever wondered what happens after you die—or how to lead others away from deception—this episode is for you. 📘 Get the book: LISTEN NOW AT: Apple: Spotify: Amazon Music: RJM YouTube Channel — CONNECT WITH RJM TODAY: Ryan Johnson — EMAIL — RJM YouTube Channel — Ryan Johnson Ministries Facebook — The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast Facebook — Instagram — Twitter —

Welcome to The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast, where faith meets purpose. This is the official podcast of Ryan Johnson Ministries, where we are here to forge stronger disciples and equip the Body of Christ for God’s glory. In this episode, we explore the critical difference between knowing what God’s Word says about your identity and applying that truth in your life. We’ll dive into key scriptures that reveal the authority we have as followers of Christ, but we won’t stop there. Knowledge alone isn’t enough—it’s in the application that transformation happens. Are you standing on the promises of God when challenges arise? Are you declaring His truth over your circumstances, or are you living beneath your spiritual potential?

Welcome to The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast, where faith meets purpose. This is the official podcast of Ryan Johnson Ministries, where we are here to forge stronger disciples and equip the Body of Christ for God’s glory. In this episode, we dive into the profound difference between considering God’s Word and actually agreeing with it in our daily lives. Many believers spend time reflecting on Scripture, weighing it as an option or a suggestion — but true transformation happens when we align our thoughts, actions, and decisions fully with God’s truth. We’ll explore what it means to walk in agreement with God, using powerful biblical examples where faith requires action, not just contemplation. If you’re ready to move beyond merely pondering God’s will and start living it out with boldness and conviction, this episode is for you!

EP. 225 — Humbled by Choice, Not Forced by Fear
Welcome to The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast, where faith meets purpose. This is the official podcast of Ryan Johnson Ministries, where we are here to forge stronger disciples and equip the Body of Christ for God’s glory. In this episode, we dive deep into the often misunderstood concept of humility and explore how God, in His infinite love, invites us into humility rather than forcing it upon us. Many people mistakenly view humility as something God imposes through harsh circumstances or fear, but the truth is far more profound. God doesn’t force Himself into our lives to break us down or humiliate us—He patiently waits for us to open our hearts and respond to His gentle prompting. Join us as we uncover how being “humbled by choice” leads to deeper intimacy with God and greater spiritual growth—where love, not fear, becomes the driving force behind our transformation.

In this episode, we take the time to examine what it means to see evidence of a true Christian. How does it manifest? How can we discern if it is genuine? Many profess to be Christians, yet looking at their lives beyond Sunday services may prompt us to question what being a Christian entails. True faith is more than just words. Our lives bear fruit that aligns with the teachings of what we genuinely believe, revealing a consistent walk rather than just a routine.

In this episode, we dive deep into a question that sparks much debate: Should Christians engage in politics, run for office, or serve in governmental roles, or should they focus solely on their own spheres of influence?

Moses is caught in the tension between God’s holiness and the nation’s need for mercy. On the one hand, the people deserve to be consumed, and God, in his holiness, cannot simply be among them, in their sin. Given God’s holiness and the people’s sin, how can Moses confidently go from Sinai to the promised land? Moses wants to know more about this God. Who is he? What kind of God is he? Will he forgive? Moses seeks through a simple request…Show Me Your Glory!

209. Strong and Courageous
Moses could not lead Israel into the land of promise and rest. Joshua — who was not a young man at this time, found that now it was his time to lead, but only after God had prepared him. Joshua was prepared by faithful service in small things, in being Moses’ assistant. Joshua is told…Be Strong and Courageous. But what does this mean? It genuinely feels like one of those “Christianese” statements that church people love to say without fully understanding what it means. It seems strange to be telling Joshua, who was one of the two spies, among the group of twelve, to see the promised land with the enemy as large as giants, yet report to Moses that they could take the land. You’re telling Joshua, who hasn’t demonstrated any lack of strength or courage in any aspect of his life, to be strong and courageous. So…what is the Lord saying?

I have sought the Lord as I am aware that it appears the Body of Christ continues to receive a black eye as people have been hurt (emotionally, spiritually, and/or physically), and many have left the church with more questions than answers, and some have walked away from the Lord because of what man has demonstrated to them.

It’s interesting that every time you and I intentionally set aside time to honor the Lord, whether in worship, prayer, or studying His Word…the enemy becomes more aggressive than ever to see that we are overworked through spiritual warfare than when we originally determined to honor the Lord. The enemy has been and will continue to use the same old tactics to keep you and me from honoring the Lord. Nothing has changed! For some, you are willing to follow the Lord, but you have continued to embrace an Egyptian mentality. You are willing to follow the cloud by day and fire by night. But the minute you see war, any kind of spiritual warfare…you want to go back to the bondage that you believe is more comfortable than the battle that may ensue.

202. The Kingdom: The King is Coming
08/29/2023
202. The Kingdom: The King is Coming
The Kingdom of God, at this moment in time, is not a specific local region or establishment. This Kingdom of God that Jesus was describing is not a place where God reigns, but rather the reign of God itself – God’s rule, authority, and power. The kingdom is not something we create by our own efforts, but rather something we receive. The Kingdom of Heaven has positioned us, because of what Jesus has done for us, with the Keys and Authority of the Kingdom of Heaven. With that said, then… When is the Kingdom of God Coming? Did Jesus preach the coming of the kingdom as a future reality, as many Christians affirm? Or did he believe that the Kingdom of God was truly present in his earthly ministry, as defining it to be in our day and time?

201. The Kingdom: Keys and Authority
Given the popularity of Jesus, you might think that most people would have a reasonably accurate understanding of his message, which he proclaimed and enacted over 2,000 years ago in Judea. Most people cannot describe the core message of Jesus. If you were to ask the average person what Jesus’ preached – even the average Christian – you’d probably hear something about love: “Jesus taught about love. He said we should all love each other.” A well-informed person might remember that Jesus called his followers to love their enemies. So is love the center of Jesus’ message. In fact, he did talk quite a bit about love. Jesus said that loving God is the greatest commandment and that loving our neighbors is an extension of loving God (Mark 12:29-31). If Jesus had been telling people to love each other around Judea, he certainly wouldn’t have been crucified on a Roman cross. Neither the Romans nor the Jewish authorities would have been bothered by a Jew who told people to love each other. Though the Romans were enemies of first-century Jews, they wouldn’t have crucified someone whose main crime was telling Jews to love them and turn the other cheek!

200. Why Does It Matter (w/Benjamin Deitrick)
Benjamin and Tarrah Deitrick have both been in ministry since the early 2000s. They began by serving as missionaries in the United States in Various capacities in Eagles’ Wings Ministries in the Greater Buffalo NY area under the direction of Bishop Robert Stearns. In 2011, they felt the call to move to Ann Arbor, MI., and serve alongside Apostle Barbara Yoder in Shekinah Church. Here they served 10 and a half years in various capacities again. In January 2022, their season of pastoring ended and they were in another transition. At the time they transitioned out of Shekinah, Tarrah was the Head Pastor and Benjamin was the Leader/Visionary Apostle. After seeking the Lord for many months, Benjamin and Tarrah founded Ignite Ministries International in Maricopa, AZ. Benjamin and Tarrah have three children, (their princesses) Faith (10), Lily (8), and Sophia (3). Their hearts are to see a return to authentic, “ACTS 2” Christianity in their generation and ignite lives for Jesus from, “the neighborhood, to the Nations.” To learn more, please visit: LISTEN NOW AT: Apple: Spotify: Destiny Image: Amazon Music: Ryan Johnson — RJM YouTube Channel — Ryan Johnson Ministries Facebook — The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast Facebook — Instagram — Twitter — EMAIL — TikTok — @officialrjm
