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!   For More Info, Please Visit: ryanjohnson.us   Music I use: Bensound License code: D3WAR6CNR2RP432E   LISTEN NOW AT: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-blacksmith-chronicles-podcast/id1485445641   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4OmhF96FBZ7wz6umnfiMnT   Destiny Image:  https://destinyimagepodcastnetwork.squarespace.com/#/the-blacksmith-chronicles/   Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/84241b46-96c3-4aed-a483-a003fd5ea74c/the-blacksmith-chronicles-podcast   Ryan Johnson — www.ryanjohnson.us RJM YouTube Channel — https://bit.ly/34Vxbgl Ryan Johnson Ministries Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/officialryanjohnsonministries The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/RJMinistries Instagram — ryanjohnsonministries Twitter — https://twitter.com/RJM_Blacksmith TikTok — @officialrjm EMAIL — info@ryanjohnson.us

Let's talk about how to identify and respond to the words and actions of such toxic persons. For a Christian, the go-to question is, “How did Jesus Respond to Toxic People?” When a person constantly manipulates, attacks, and accuses us, how long must we stay engaged with that individual? Are We to Cut Off certain people in our lives?   For More Info, Please Visit: ryanjohnson.us   Music I use: Bensound License code: D3WAR6CNR2RP432E   LISTEN NOW AT: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-blacksmith-chronicles-podcast/id1485445641   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4OmhF96FBZ7wz6umnfiMnT   Destiny Image:  https://destinyimagepodcastnetwork.squarespace.com/#/the-blacksmith-chronicles/   Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/84241b46-96c3-4aed-a483-a003fd5ea74c/the-blacksmith-chronicles-podcast Ryan Johnson — www.ryanjohnson.us RJM YouTube Channel — https://bit.ly/34Vxbgl Ryan Johnson Ministries Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/officialryanjohnsonministries The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/RJMinistries Instagram — ryanjohnsonministries Twitter — https://twitter.com/RJM_Blacksmith TikTok — @officialrjm EMAIL — info@ryanjohnson.us

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?   For More Info, Please Visit: ryanjohnson.us   Music I use: Bensound License code: D3WAR6CNR2RP432E   LISTEN NOW AT: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-blacksmith-chronicles-podcast/id1485445641   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4OmhF96FBZ7wz6umnfiMnT   Destiny Image:  https://destinyimagepodcastnetwork.squarespace.com/#/the-blacksmith-chronicles/   Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/84241b46-96c3-4aed-a483-a003fd5ea74c/the-blacksmith-chronicles-podcast   Ryan Johnson — www.ryanjohnson.us RJM YouTube Channel — https://bit.ly/34Vxbgl Ryan Johnson Ministries Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/officialryanjohnsonministries The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/RJMinistries Instagram — ryanjohnsonministries Twitter — https://twitter.com/RJM_Blacksmith TikTok — @officialrjm EMAIL — info@ryanjohnson.us

The Emergence of The Faithful Ones (w/Ryan Johnson) The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast Ep 208   I have been consistently seeking the Lord and asking Him to give me the understanding of hope, redemption, and reconciliation in a genuine need for repentance. 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. While in prayer the Lord spoke the following to me…”There will be An Emergence of The Faithful Ones.”   For More Info, Please Visit: ryanjohnson.us   Music I use: Bensound License code: D3WAR6CNR2RP432E   LISTEN NOW AT: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-blacksmith-chronicles-podcast/id1485445641   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4OmhF96FBZ7wz6umnfiMnT   Destiny Image:  https://destinyimagepodcastnetwork.squarespace.com/#/the-blacksmith-chronicles/   Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/84241b46-96c3-4aed-a483-a003fd5ea74c/the-blacksmith-chronicles-podcast   Ryan Johnson — www.ryanjohnson.us RJM YouTube Channel — https://bit.ly/34Vxbgl Ryan Johnson Ministries Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/officialryanjohnsonministries The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/RJMinistries Instagram — ryanjohnsonministries Twitter — https://twitter.com/RJM_Blacksmith TikTok — @officialrjm EMAIL — info@ryanjohnson.us

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. The Lord is saying to you today…”GO FORWARD!” For More Info, Please Visit: ryanjohnson.us LISTEN NOW AT: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-blacksmith-chronicles-podcast/id1485445641 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4OmhF96FBZ7wz6umnfiMnT Destiny Image:  https://destinyimagepodcastnetwork.squarespace.com/#/the-blacksmith-chronicles/ Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/84241b46-96c3-4aed-a483-a003fd5ea74c/the-blacksmith-chronicles-podcast   Ryan Johnson — www.ryanjohnson.us RJM YouTube Channel — https://bit.ly/34Vxbgl Ryan Johnson Ministries Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/officialryanjohnsonministries The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/RJMinistries Instagram — ryanjohnsonministries Twitter — https://twitter.com/RJM_Blacksmith TikTok — @officialrjm EMAIL — info@ryanjohnson.us

Joshua Reyes is a husband, pastor, believer, and a person of influence, that understands how important it is to leave a positive example for others to follow. Joshua has met with extraordinary leaders dealing with inner brokenness, thriving ministers with failing marriages, great preachers who have trouble leading a team, and charismatic lovers of Jesus who have struggled with mental instabilities due to trauma, poor examples, and an overall lack of knowledge. In a world full of voices, it's sometimes hard to decipher who you're supposed to connect with and listen to. Because of this, Joshua has made it his life's mission to be a Kingdom Influencer in every way possible for God. His passion is to build, equip, and train people to become all that God has called them to be and operate in excellence mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.    For More Info, Please Visit: joshuakings.com   LISTEN NOW AT: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-blacksmith-chronicles-podcast/id1485445641   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4OmhF96FBZ7wz6umnfiMnT   Destiny Image:  https://destinyimagepodcastnetwork.squarespace.com/#/the-blacksmith-chronicles/   Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/84241b46-96c3-4aed-a483-a003fd5ea74c/the-blacksmith-chronicles-podcast   Ryan Johnson Ministries YouTube:    Ryan Johnson — www.ryanjohnson.us RJM YouTube Channel — https://bit.ly/34Vxbgl Ryan Johnson Ministries Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/officialryanjohnsonministries The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/RJMinistries Instagram — ryanjohnsonministries Twitter — https://twitter.com/RJM_Blacksmith TikTok — @officialrjm EMAIL — info@ryanjohnson.us

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?

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!  What was and is the Core Message of Jesus?

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: https://igniteministriesinternational.com LISTEN NOW AT: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-blacksmith-chronicles-podcast/id1485445641 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4OmhF96FBZ7wz6umnfiMnT Destiny Image:  https://destinyimagepodcastnetwork.squarespace.com/#/the-blacksmith-chronicles/ Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/84241b46-96c3-4aed-a483-a003fd5ea74c/the-blacksmith-chronicles-podcast Ryan Johnson — www.ryanjohnson.us RJM YouTube Channel — https://bit.ly/34Vxbgl Ryan Johnson Ministries Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/officialryanjohnsonministries The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/RJMinistries Instagram — ryanjohnsonministries Twitter — https://twitter.com/RJM_Blacksmith EMAIL — info@ryanjohnson.us TikTok — @officialrjm

When cities and nations have been on the verge of collapsing morally, God has always raised up people who would pray. God brought spiritual revivals and awakenings, bringing people back to “a right standing with God.” It's time to pray to God, turn our hearts back to God, and turn away from our rebellion against God and his word so that our children, our families, and our nation might have this God kind of hope and be saved. Where has hope gone in the schools and towns and cities of America? Have we lost the hope that once resounded in our schools, when children called out to God in prayer? Hope is not far away!

In Woke Jesus, Lucas discusses several very timely and relevant topics associated with the deceptions of Progressive Christianity with the American church, including:   The history and origins of Wokeism, beginning with Gnosticism, eventually finding its place within a Hegelian and Marxist framework and then morphing into what we see today. How Woke Christianity abandons traditional biblical interpretations regarding marriage, gender, racial equality, justice, original sin, heaven and hell, and salvation, thus replacing those traditions with political correctness, cancel culture, hedonistic values, obsession with public health, allegiance to the Leftist state, universalism, and virtue signaling. How Progressive Christianity reduces Christ to a mere revolutionary, prophet, or sage who is only useful to the degree that His behavior aligns with liberal “morals” that support a progressive view of race, gender, and sexuality.   Woke Jesus argues that few institutions are responsible for unifying the nation more than the church. As such, it's imperative, spiritually for the sake of the lost and geo-politically for global freedom, that orthodox Christianity proves true. For these reasons, every Christian should take seriously their role in pushing back the darkness of Wokeism and Critical Theory in all of its forms. In Woke Jesus, Lucas helps provide practical ways to do so.   To find out more, visit lucasmiles.org   LISTEN NOW AT: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-blacksmith-chronicles-podcast/id1485445641   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4OmhF96FBZ7wz6umnfiMnT   Destiny Image:  https://destinyimagepodcastnetwork.squarespace.com/#/the-blacksmith-chronicles/   Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/84241b46-96c3-4aed-a483-a003fd5ea74c/the-blacksmith-chronicles-podcast   Ryan Johnson — www.ryanjohnson.us RJM YouTube Channel — https://bit.ly/34Vxbgl Ryan Johnson Ministries Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/officialryanjohnsonministries The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/RJMinistries Instagram — ryanjohnsonministries EMAIL — info@ryanjohnson.us TikTok — @officialrjm

This episode is from a recent message that Ryan shared at his home church, Summit Church in Pigeon Forge, TN. Because of the Cross, because of the Blood of Jesus, because of the Authority and Power, when we are transformed, we are no longer under the law, but saved by Grace through faith…we are to be living a life of Holiness likened unto the Lord.   When there is a reverent and Holy fear of the Lord, you will be drawn in closer to see and hear everything that He has for you. When you have a Holy Fear of the Lord, though you know that there is sin in your life, you know that in His Presence is the only place you need to be.     LISTEN NOW AT: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-blacksmith-chronicles-podcast/id1485445641   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4OmhF96FBZ7wz6umnfiMnT   Destiny Image:  https://destinyimagepodcastnetwork.squarespace.com/#/the-blacksmith-chronicles/   Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/84241b46-96c3-4aed-a483-a003fd5ea74c/the-blacksmith-chronicles-podcast   Ryan Johnson — www.ryanjohnson.us RJM YouTube Channel — https://bit.ly/34Vxbgl Ryan Johnson Ministries Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/officialryanjohnsonministries The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/RJMinistries Instagram — ryanjohnsonministries EMAIL — info@ryanjohnson.us TikTok — @officialrjm

SIGNS IN THE HEAVENS. Until the mid-20th century, the heavens were the greatest show on Earth. Ancient people recognized the same constellations we do today, though they understood the signs behind those pictures in the sky in a way that's been lost to us – until now. Troy Brewer reveals the connection between the story in the stars and the Biblical account of the fall of man and redemption through Jesus. What does the night sky tell us about God's plan? How does the Almighty speak through the constellations? The answers are astounding as the dramatic truth about the cosmos is unveiled for these last days. The time is short. We should all be Looking Up.   Troy has a passion for “reaching Christians for Jesus” and is seen by a worldwide Internet audience every Sunday and Wednesday from OpenDoor Church. His unique style and revelatory perspective bring clear and simple understanding to complex Kingdom issues and principles. He likes to say he has the “gift of realness,” and that ability helps him reach both the lost and the saved with the transformational teachings of Jesus Christ. Troy is a one-of-a-kind Christ follower – a true extension of the arms of Jesus. He is a servant whose greatest desire is to bring the authenticity of Jesus and the reality of the Kingdom of Heaven into the lives of people around the world.    To learn more, please visit: troybrewer.com   LISTEN NOW AT: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-blacksmith-chronicles-podcast/id1485445641   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4OmhF96FBZ7wz6umnfiMnT   Destiny Image:  https://destinyimagepodcastnetwork.squarespace.com/#/the-blacksmith-chronicles/   Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/84241b46-96c3-4aed-a483-a003fd5ea74c/the-blacksmith-chronicles-podcast Ryan Johnson — www.ryanjohnson.us RJM YouTube Channel — https://bit.ly/34Vxbgl Ryan Johnson Ministries Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/officialryanjohnsonministries The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/RJMinistries Instagram — ryanjohnsonministries EMAIL — info@ryanjohnson.us TikTok — @officialrjm

Our broken world is desperate for the Presence of God. But the modern church has become distracted by a self-help mentality, celebrity figureheads, and entertainment culture. We have failed to be the supernatural solution for which we were created. In The Way of His Glory, burned-out Christians will find practical empowerment to lead their fellow believers in the authentic pursuit of God's Presence as their priority.    Pastor Mark Casto was on the fast track to building the modern “successful” church when God brought it all to an end. He revealed that Mark was prioritizing his ministry above God's Personal Presence.    Mark Casto is the lead pastor of The Shepherd's Tent. He is the host of The Family Table Podcast featured on the Destiny Image Podcast Network.

It came to my spirit in the middle of worship when I heard the statement, “Look to the Dry Ground”. My first thought was, “what does this have to do with the song that we were worshiping unto the Lord?”. The short answer…absolutely nothing. Then I heard the statement again, “Look to the Dry Ground”. I went into praying and asking the Lord what He was saying to me. Soon I was taken into a vision looking at a massive body of water. I was standing on the banks of a large river that had a steady flow moving from my left to the right. As I looked at the water, I heard the Lord say, “Can you see the dry ground?”.    To read this word in its entirety, please visit: https://ryanjohnson.us/look-to-the-dry-ground/   LISTEN NOW AT: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-blacksmith-chronicles-podcast/id1485445641   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4OmhF96FBZ7wz6umnfiMnT   Destiny Image:  https://destinyimagepodcastnetwork.squarespace.com/#/the-blacksmith-chronicles/   Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/84241b46-96c3-4aed-a483-a003fd5ea74c/the-blacksmith-chronicles-podcast Ryan Johnson — www.ryanjohnson.us RJM YouTube Channel — https://bit.ly/34Vxbgl Ryan Johnson Ministries Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/officialryanjohnsonministries The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/RJMinistries Instagram — ryanjohnsonministries EMAIL — info@ryanjohnson.us TikTok — @officialrjm

The Apostle Paul begins Romans 12 with an urging to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice. The question before us now is why Paul would allude to the sacrifices that were under the law. After all, under the law, sacrifices were presented or set before God at the altar, ready to be offered to him. It is Your bodies - your whole selves; are so expressed because under the law the bodies of beasts were offered in sacrifice.   In this recent message, Ryan shares how the fire on the altar served as a constant reminder of God's power. It was a gift from heaven. No other source of fire would be acceptable to God. The fire of God resides within us. It purifies – It helps us to live a holy and righteous life before God.  It gives us zeal, passion, and a love for things of God. It helps us to surrender to God's will for our lives.   LISTEN NOW AT: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-blacksmith-chronicles-podcast/id1485445641   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4OmhF96FBZ7wz6umnfiMnT   Destiny Image:  https://destinyimagepodcastnetwork.squarespace.com/#/the-blacksmith-chronicles/   Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/84241b46-96c3-4aed-a483-a003fd5ea74c/the-blacksmith-chronicles-podcast   Ryan Johnson — www.ryanjohnson.us RJM YouTube Channel — https://bit.ly/34Vxbgl Ryan Johnson Ministries Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/officialryanjohnsonministries The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/RJMinistries Instagram — ryanjohnsonministries EMAIL — info@ryanjohnson.us TikTok — @officialrjm

The Skit Guys are Tommy Woodard and Eddie James — best friends since high school. They fell in love with acting in their school's theater productions and had a knack for making people laugh. When Tommy invited Eddie to church, everything changed. With encouragement and guidance from their youth pastor, the guys started to write and perform skits for their youth group. No longer was it just about making people laugh — their skits now had a bigger purpose. Since then, they've been writing and performing hilarious and poignant skits live and on screen. They starred in their first feature film, FAMILY CAMP, a faith-based family comedy, which was released in theaters across the U.S. on May 13, 2022, and ranked as the No. 1 new family movie during its opening weekend. Tommy and Eddie have traveled the world performing at events, churches, and conferences. They have grown SkitGuys.com into a media resource for pastors with countless videos and scripts that are used in churches all over the world. The Skit Guys also have a web series called Bedtime Bible Stories, their “Laugh More” podcast, and a book on friendship called “Smells Like Bacon,” as well as comedy DVDs.   For More Info, Please Visit: www.skitguys.com   LISTEN NOW AT: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-blacksmith-chronicles-podcast/id1485445641   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4OmhF96FBZ7wz6umnfiMnT   Destiny Image:  https://destinyimagepodcastnetwork.squarespace.com/#/the-blacksmith-chronicles/   Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/84241b46-96c3-4aed-a483-a003fd5ea74c/the-blacksmith-chronicles-podcast   Ryan Johnson — www.ryanjohnson.us RJM YouTube Channel — https://bit.ly/34Vxbgl Ryan Johnson Ministries Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/officialryanjohnsonministries The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/RJMinistries Twitter — https://twitter.com/ryanbjohnson278 Instagram — ryanjohnsonministries EMAIL — info@ryanjohnson.us TikTok — @officialrjm

“Have you had enough?” It was just four words, but it was a turning point question in Kelly Lester's life. For 15 years, Kelly had been running from the Lord, desperate to fill the hurting places in her heart with men, drugs, and every other kind of coping mechanism. But after nearly losing her life in a violent domestic fight, Kelly came to a place of surrender to the question God was asking of her. But God, do you know the things I've done? “Yes, Kelly, but if you follow me, I will make beauty from ashes.”   Kelly's story is one that covers so many difficult and painful topics in our world today. Child molestation, raped as a teen, several abortions, drug dealing, eating disorders, homosexuality, pornography, prostitution, and even working in the clinic where she had her first abortion. But beauty triumphs from the ashes, and Kelly is a testament to how God can clean all the dirty parts of a painful life story and make it brand new.   Now a wife and mother of six children, Kelly loves to share her story to give hope to the most desperate situations proving that God can save anybody. She is currently a client advocate for LoveLine Ministries, Director of Outreach for And Then There Were None and Pro-Love Ministries, and a board member for Village Ansanm: Living Stones Ministries.   For More Information Please Visit: https://proloveministries.org   LISTEN NOW AT: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-blacksmith-chronicles-podcast/id1485445641   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4OmhF96FBZ7wz6umnfiMnT   Destiny Image:  https://destinyimagepodcastnetwork.squarespace.com/#/the-blacksmith-chronicles/   Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/84241b46-96c3-4aed-a483-a003fd5ea74c/the-blacksmith-chronicles-podcast   Ryan Johnson — www.ryanjohnson.us RJM YouTube Channel — https://bit.ly/34Vxbgl Ryan Johnson Ministries Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/officialryanjohnsonministries The Blacksmith Chronicles Podcast Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/RJMinistries Twitter — https://twitter.com/ryanbjohnson278 Instagram — ryanjohnsonministries EMAIL — info@ryanjohnson.us TikTok — @officialrjm
