EP. 262 — From Good Things to God Things: Embracing the Season You’ve Been Assigned 12/23/2025

EP. 262 — From Good Things to God Things: Embracing the Season You’ve Been Assigned Have you settled for a good Christian life instead of a God-ordained one? 👀 In this powerful message on the Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast, Ryan Johnson shares his born-again testimony from November 30, 1997—when God delivered him from addiction, pills, and partying and raised up a new man in Christ. Out of that encounter, Ryan now carries a burning word for the Body of Christ: Many believers aren’t stuck because of sin…they’re stuck because of comfort. In this episode, Ryan exposes the subtle danger of choosing good things instead of God things—good sermons, good worship, good programs, and good church activity that never actually lead to transformation, surrender, and true discipleship. Using passages like Isaiah 43:18–19, Ecclesiastes 3:1, Luke 10:41–42, and Romans 12:2, he calls believers out of spiritual stagnation and into a lifestyle that is: Fully surrendered to Jesus Aligned with the Word of God, not emotions or culture Willing to leave “good enough” for the perfect will of God Hungry for revival, holiness, and authentic transformation Ryan also confronts the deception of “being a good person” as a substitute for being born again, reminds us that Heaven is not inherited by goodness but through surrender to Jesus, and challenges the Church to move from good moments to God movements that shake cities and nations. If you’ve been feeling spiritually stuck, lukewarm, or too comfortable, this message will convict, encourage, and realign your heart with the purpose and assignment God has for your life. 👉 Subscribe to The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast and join the movement of believers being forged for God’s glory! 🎧 Listen on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Music | Destiny Image Podcast Network | EastTN TV ✉️ Connect with Ryan Johnson Ministries:🌐 Website: https://ryanjohnson.us📧 Email: 🎙 Podcast: The Blacksmith Chronicles📖 Books & Resources: Visit our website 📣 Don’t Forget To: ✅ LIKE the video ✅ SUBSCRIBE to the channel ✅ SHARE this episode with your community ✅ COMMENT with your thoughts or questions #BornAgainTestimony #FromGoodToGod #RevivalFire #TheGoodnessOfGod #RyanJohnsonMinistries #TheBlacksmithChroniclesPodcast #KingdomFamilyAlliance /episode/index/show/ryanjohnson1/id/39237935

EP. 261 — A Prophetic Call for 2026: The Throne Room and the Battlefield 12/16/2025

EP. 261 — A Prophetic Call for 2026: The Throne Room and the Battlefield In this powerful episode, Ryan releases the 2026 Prophetic Word: “The Throne Room and the Battlefield.” This is a clarion call for the sons and daughters of God as we cross from 2025 into 2026—not to retreat… but to rise. Drawing from 1 Samuel 17:26, the 26th appearance of David in the NASB translation, Ryan reveals a prophetic parallel for the year 2026: 👉 This is the year the taunting spirit must be confronted. 👉 This is the year warriors awaken. 👉 This is the year the remnant stands. In this deep and discerning word, Ryan addresses: The growing spiritual hostility toward believers The need to discern between the throne room and the battlefield The rise of modern Goliaths: media, Hollywood, government, education, and digital censorship The prophetic significance of the number 26 (YHWH, covenant, identity, divine assignment) A bold call for the Church to confront intimidation, silence, and spiritual apathy Six powerful 2026 declarations to speak over your life, family, and territory This episode is not a doom-and-gloom word—it's an activation. A charge to step into covenant identity, holy boldness, and warrior authority. 📌 Get the full written prophetic word on the blog: 👉 https://www.ryanjohnson.us 📌 Partner with Ryan Johnson Ministries: Your monthly partnership helps equip the body of Christ, awaken regions, and strengthen revival assignments across the nation. 👉 https://www.ryanjohnson.us 📌 Invite Ryan to your 2026 event: Ryan is available for churches, conferences, and regional gatherings. 👉 Visit the website and submit a booking request.

EP. 260 — The Twisting Serpent: A Warning You Can’t Ignore 12/09/2025

EP. 260 — The Twisting Serpent: A Warning You Can’t Ignore In this urgent episode of The Blacksmith Chronicles, Ryan Johnson delivers a timely prophetic warning about the twisting spirit of Leviathan—a demonic principality that targets relationships, marriages, ministry teams, and covenant connections. Many believers are experiencing unusual conflict, confusion, strained communication, and heightened offense. This episode exposes how Leviathan twists words, perceptions, and intentions, and teaches you how to shut down the enemy’s access through humility, clarification, and covenant honor. If you’ve felt misunderstood…attacked…isolated…or confused in your relationships, you’re not crazy. This episode is your clarity, your strategy, and your breakthrough. Ryan breaks down: What the Bible actually says about Leviathan (Job 41, Isaiah 27:1, Psalm 74:14) Why is this spirit active in marriages, ministries, and leadership right now How pride, offense, and assumptions open spiritual doors Why revival, covenant alignment, and relational healing trigger spiritual warfare The three God-given weapons that defeat Leviathan Stay until the end for a powerful, guided prayer of deliverance to break every agreement with the twisting serpent.

EP. 257 — Turn Up the Volume? NYC, Islam’s Long Game & the Spirit of Illegitimacy — Ryan Johnson on Sonship (The Pulse x Blacksmith Chronicles) 11/18/2025

EP. 257 — Turn Up the Volume? NYC, Islam’s Long Game & the Spirit of Illegitimacy — Ryan Johnson on Sonship (The Pulse x Blacksmith Chronicles) In this hybrid episode of The Blacksmith Chronicles and The Pulse (OpenDoor Church), Ryan Johnson joins the conversation on the NYC election shock, the phrase “turn up the volume”, Islam’s long-game cultural strategy, and why the Church must return to governmental Ekklesia—not partisan theatrics. Ryan unpacks his signature revelation on sonship vs. the spirit of illegitimacy, identity in Christ (son → heir → ambassador), and teases a prophetic message on being “Carriers of Oil”—where preparation and expectation meet so we move from visitation to habitation. Plus: rescue updates (quinceañera for Emma), how to partner monthly, ODX Weekend, and the premiere of The Counter. If this convicts, equips, or encourages you, share it with a friend and drop a comment with your biggest takeaway. 🔥 What you’ll learn: • Why “turn up the volume” signals more than a slogan—and how believers should respond • How sonship dismantles illegitimacy, fear of man, and performance-based identity • The difference between political posturing and governmental Ekklesia authority • Practical steps to steward oil (presence) for habitation, not just visitation • How to partner in child rescue efforts through OpenDoor Church 👉 Subscribe to The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast and join the movement of believers being forged for God’s glory! 🎧 Listen on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Music | Destiny Image Podcast Network | EastTN TV ✉️ Connect with Ryan Johnson Ministries:🌐 Website: https://ryanjohnson.us📧 Email: 🎙 Podcast: The Blacksmith Chronicles📖 Books & Resources: Visit our website 📣 Don’t Forget To: ✅ LIKE the video ✅ SUBSCRIBE to the channel ✅ SHARE this episode with your community ✅ COMMENT with your thoughts or questions #RyanJohnsonMinistries #TheBlacksmithChroniclesPodcast #TroyBrewer #Sonship #Ekklesia /episode/index/show/ryanjohnson1/id/39007840

EP. 255 — Break Church Growth Barriers (Without Burnout): AI, Nehemiah Systems & Discipleship Pipeline 11/04/2025

EP. 255 — Break Church Growth Barriers (Without Burnout): AI, Nehemiah Systems & Discipleship Pipeline In this episode of the Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast, Ryan Johnson sits down with church growth strategist Henry Tolbert to unpack practical, Spirit-led strategies for church growth without burnout. They explore a Nehemiah-inspired turnaround framework (personal revival → revisioning → revitalizing → rebuilding), the discipleship pipeline from the 5,000 to the 1, post-pandemic realities for pastors, and how to leverage social media and AI tools for ministry (like clipping sermons and turning notes into ebooks/decks) to reach your city. If you’re a pastor, church planter, or ministry leader seeking guidance on scaling systems, mobilizing teams, and keeping the message timeless while methods evolve, this conversation is for you. What you’ll learn: How to build simple church systems that scale without frying your staff or volunteers A clear discipleship pathway (5,000 → 500 → 72 → 12 → 3 → 1) modeled from Jesus’ ministry The Nehemiah blueprint for revitalization (revival in the leader, fresh vision, people engagement, rebuild/relaunch) Why assumptions fuel division and how to cultivate multi-ethnic unity that puts Kingdom over culture Practical social media for churches: plan content from your sermon runway, provide value, and talk to people Smart, ethical ways to use AI for churches (content repurposing, slides/ebooks, short-form clips) as “staff for small churches” Connect with Henry Tolbert / Simple Systems Consulting: Website: getchurchsystems.com YouTube/TikTok/IG/FB/LinkedIn: search Henry Tolbert or The Simple Systems Guy If this helped you, like, comment, subscribe, and share with a pastor or ministry leader who needs it. 🙌 👉 Subscribe to The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast and join the movement of believers being forged for God’s glory! 🎧 Listen on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Music | Destiny Image Podcast Network | EastTN TV ✉️ Connect with Ryan Johnson Ministries:🌐 Website: https://ryanjohnson.us📧 Email: 🎙 Podcast: The Blacksmith Chronicles📖 Books & Resources: Visit our website 📣 Don’t Forget To: ✅ LIKE the video ✅ SUBSCRIBE to the channel ✅ SHARE this episode with your community ✅ COMMENT with your thoughts or questions #RyanJohnsonMinistries #TheBlacksmithChroniclesPodcast #KingdomFamilyAlliance #ChurchGrowth #ChurchLeadership #SimpleSolutions #HenryTolbert /episode/index/show/ryanjohnson1/id/38822995

EP. 252 — When Prophecy Becomes Witchcraft / Exposing Manipulation, Recovering Purity, Restoring the Fear of the Lord Are we witnessing a prophetic crisis in the Church? In this solo episode of The Blacksmith Chronicles, Ryan Johnson confronts prophetic witchcraft—when prophecy is weaponized for control, manipulation, and self-promotion rather than flowing from intimacy with Jesus.

Ryan unpacks Scripture (Jeremiah 23; 1 Thessalonians 5:20-21; Hebrews 4:12; Galatians 3:1; Ezekiel 13; Psalm 19:14) and addresses the roots of corruption: desire for control, fear of man, lack of accountability, and unhealed motives.
