In this episode of Nephilim Death Squad, Raven and Matt Hepner continue The Indiana Zone series with a deep, critical breakdown of the documentary Age of Disclosure.This is not a surface-level reaction. The hosts dissect the UFO disclosure narrative, intelligence community messaging, Vatican involvement, and the spiritual implications behind the modern push to normalize “non-human intelligence.”Topics covered include:Why Age of Disclosure feels engineered, not revealingIntelligence community spokespeople and narrative controlThe emotional and spiritual “heaviness” behind disclosure mediaTransmedium craft, ocean activity, and underground speculationBiological effects, radiation exposure, and military encountersWhy aliens, demons, and deception are being separated on purposeBiblical prophecy, the Days of Noah, and end-times conditioningTimothy Alberino's past warnings vs current disclosure toneThis episode asks the hard question:Is disclosure about truth — or preparation?
I love Christmas because it is one of the few remaining buttresses of Christian virtue left in America. Everyone in America understands the idea of lavish gifts, of the frailty of gifts alone to make the recipient happy, and how beautiful it is to give a good gift to someone you love. Today we remember how Christmas fulfills a promise of God, and how it is one of three Advents God has promised to bring us for His glory and our good.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4qtjVXX
In this episode of Nephilim Death Squad, Raven and Matt Hepner break down and react to the documentary Age of Disclosure, exposing the modern UFO disclosure agenda, government narrative control, and the spiritual deception hiding behind “alien transparency.”This is not a surface-level review. We examine:The federal UFO disclosure push and why it's happening nowThe Vatican, the LUCIFER telescope, and Mount GrahamTimothy Alberino, Watchers theology, and pre-Flood narrativesStargates, portals, pharmakeia, and biblical gatewaysWhy “aliens” are not extraterrestrial—but interdimensionalHow disclosure primes the world for a false savior narrativeThe Days of Noah, the Tower of Babel cycle, and end-times deceptionThis episode connects Scripture, ancient history, intelligence operations, and modern propaganda to show why disclosure is not about truth—but control.
In Week 3 of In The Neighborhood, we turn to Jesus' final words in Matthew 28:16–20 and see that Christmas is a story of mission. The God who came near in Christ now sends His people out with purpose.Jesus' promise to be with us always transforms the way we understand the Great Commission—not as a burden, but as a continuation of the Christmas story. Because God came to us, we now go to others, carrying the good news of His presence into our neighborhoods, workplaces, and everyday relationships.This message challenges us to see mission not as something distant or optional, but as a natural response to the God who is with us.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

Welcome back to Straight Bible with Matt Hepner — the show where Scripture is taught plainly, directly, and without compromise.In today's message, “Who's On Your Ship?”, Matt breaks down the story of Jonah, the storm, and the spiritual reality that the people you allow on your boat determine the direction of your calling. This teaching exposes how wrong relationships bring chaos, how disobedience brings storms, and how God uses pressure to redirect you back to purpose.Inside this episode:Jonah's calling and his refusal to obeyHow the wrong people bring storms you weren't meant to weatherThe spiritual principle of passengers vs. crewWhy God hurls storms to reroute destinyUnderstanding your assignment, alignment, and accountabilityHow to identify who shouldn't be on your shipDeliverance, repentance, and restorationThis is a direct, convicting, Scripture-heavy teaching that cuts through modern fluff and brings the Word with clarity.Straight Bible.

This sermon concludes the three-week series "God Our Home," connecting the longing for God's presence with the reality of Christmas. We recap that God's desire to dwell with His people is the entire storyline of the Bible—from Eden to the New Creation. However, significant barriers like disobedience, shame, lies, and God's holiness keep us from experiencing this intimacy.The Good News of Christmas is that Jesus came to address every single barrier. He is the "obedience of the one" that makes many righteous. He clothes our shame so we can hide in Him rather than from Him. He reveals the true nature of the Father, dispelling lies. He comes full of grace and truth to make us holy, paying the entrance fee we could never afford. And He empowers us to forgive by first forgiving us.Scripture ReferencesRevelation 21:3: "I will be your God, you will be my people, and I will dwell in your midst."Psalm 22:3: God inhabits the praises of His people.Deuteronomy 8:10-14: A warning not to forget God in times of plenty.John 8:28-29: Jesus' perfect obedience to the Father.Romans 5:19: "For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous."Colossians 3:3: "For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God."Hebrews 4:15: We have a High Priest who sympathizes with our weaknesses.John 14:6-9: Jesus reveals the Father: "Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father."John 1:14: The Word became flesh, full of grace and truth.Matthew 6:9-15: The Lord's Prayer, emphasizing forgiveness.Key PointsJesus Addresses Our BarriersDisobedience: Jesus' perfect submission overthrows our rebellion. His obedience is credited to us, making us righteous.Shame: Instead of hiding from God in shame, we can hide in Christ. He clothes us in His righteousness, fully knowing and fully loving us.Lies: Jesus reveals the true nature of the Father, dispelling the enemy's lies about God's character.Holiness: Jesus doesn't lower the standard; He pays the price. He comes full of grace and truth to make us holy and blameless in God's sight.Unforgiveness: We are empowered to forgive others because we have been forgiven a debt we could never pay.How to Not Miss His Presence Like the characters in the first Christmas story who did experience God, we must:Worship: Adore Him to gain perspective and crush comparison.Ponder: Like Mary, treasure God's work in your heart. Be curious and wonder about Him.Seek: Like the Wise Men, actively pursue Him. Don't assume His presence; hunt for it.ConclusionWe don't have to live separated from God. Jesus, Emmanuel, has come to bridge the gap. He has dealt with our sin, shame, and separation so that we can once again stand in the presence of a holy God—not with fear, but with boldness and joy.Calls to ActionInvite Someone: 80% of people are willing to come to church if invited. Use this Christmas season to invite someone to the Fox Theatre service.Worship & Ponder: In the busyness of the season, take time to worship and ponder what Christ has done to bring you near.Come to the Table: As you take communion, reflect on the cost Jesus paid to remove every barrier between you and the Father.

Country artist Conner Smith joins Brooke Taylor and co-host Pastor Mark Evans on The Upload for his first in-depth conversation since the tragic accident that made headlines this past summer. Known for hits like “I Hate Alabama,” and “Creek Will Rise,” Conner has quickly risen through the country music ranks—touring festivals, releasing his debut album, and building a loyal fanbase. But behind the momentum was a season of profound heartbreak. On the final day of CMA Fest, just one day after taking the Riverfront Stage, Conner was involved in a devastating accident that took a life. In this episode, he opens up with honesty and humility about the grief, trauma, and deep soul-searching that followed, and how the Lord became his anchor when the world around him collapsed. Conner shares how God met him in the shock and silence, the community that rallied around him, and the spiritual “crushing and stripping” that has reshaped him in ways he never expected. He talks about learning to trust God in the valley, surrendering the weight he can’t carry alone, and how the peace he has today is only because of the presence of Christ in the darkest hours. This is a powerful conversation about suffering, healing, and the God who restores what feels shattered beyond repair. Follow The Upload:
Marriage was never meant to be about selfish fulfillment or competing for power. In this episode, we break down God's design for marriage — what He actually expects from husbands and wives, why men and women are different by design, and how those differences are meant to complement, not compete.In a culture that increasingly rejects biblical roles and promotes self-centered relationships, we explain why Christian marriage is about self-denial, sacrifice, leadership, love, and unity, not ego or personal comfort.✝️ COACHING WITH DAVID! https://imdavidhammond.com✝️ COACHING WITH MALLORY! https://biblicallyfeminine.com
What comes to mind when I say the word “peace?” Is it a spot on a tropical beach under a palm tree with no one around? Maybe a log cabin in the woods next to a babbling brook? Today's episode is about peace, about finding peace. Where does peace come from? Take a listen and get the help you need to find peace in your life.

He shared personal experiences of dying to self, surrendering ambition, and learning that God values character over ministry success. Thompson described seasons where God withheld permission to plan, teaching him obedience and dependence on the Spirit's leading. Through these lessons, he realized leadership means guiding others away from self-interest and toward God's kingdom purpose, emphasizing that obedience and humility—not personal achievement—define success in God's eyes.Purchase The Christian Leader Blueprint book today: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/blueprintbookDownload The Christian Leader Blueprint – Short Guide (Free): https://www.ryanfranklin.org/blueprint Take the Christian Leader® Self-Assessment (Free):https://www.ryanfranklin.org/clselfassessment Learn more about Christian Leader® Community Coaching:https://www.ryanfranklin.org/communitycoaching YouTube and Audio Podcast: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/leaderpodcast Connect with Ryan: Email: info@ryanfranklin.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rnfranklin/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rnfranklin/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rnfranklin/ Audio mastering by Apostolic Audio: https://www.apostolic-audio.com#leadership, #thoughtleadership, #ministry, #pastor, #pastors, #churches, #leadershiptraining, #churchleader, #churchleaders, #influence, #leadershipdevelopment, #coaching, #executivecoach, #leadershipcoaching, #productivitycoach, #productivity, #growthmindset, #theproductiveleader, #ChristianLeader, #ChristianLeadership, #LeadershipPodcast, #FaithAndBusiness, #PodcastInterview, #ChristianEntrepreneurship, #KingdomImpact, #PodcastInspiration, #LeadershipJourney, #PurposeDriven, #ChristianPodcast, #LeadershipEssentials, #LeadershipFundamentalsSend us a text

In this episode, we look at the topics of idolatry and adultery, both of which are things that shouldn't be in the life of the Christian. But, are you committing spiritual adultery and cheating on God with idols? People and the nations have been punished for idolatry, God takes it seriously. We'll look at how we can stay away from cheating on God.

Chores. Just hearing the word can bring up a mix of reactions—from sighs to eye rolls to “we should really work on that in our house.” In today's episode, we're diving into a topic that seems simple on the surface but can be surprisingly challenging to put into practice. We're talking about why chores matter and how everyday responsibilities help prepare our kids for life beyond our homes—while also building important life skills through responsibility and natural consequences.We're joined by Kim Smelley—mom of three, camp mom, and master of what she calls “somewhat organized chaos.” Kim shares how chores have evolved in her family, what's worked (and what hasn't), and practical ways to encourage kids when motivation is low. Whether chores are a strength in your home or a struggle, this conversation will help you see them as an opportunity for growth, teamwork, and meaningful connection with your kids.--Question of the Week: What is your favorite chore to do around the house?

Welcome back to The Raven, the solo flagship of Nephilim Death Squad.In this episode, Raven breaks down the current PSYOP cycle, rising manufactured outrage, spiritual deception, and the psychological warfare driving modern conspiracy culture. From Duncan Trussell's occult practices to alien disclosure narratives, Jew-noticing psyops, and the spiritual trap behind endless outrage, this episode cuts through the noise with brutal clarity.Topics include:PSYOP fatigue and manufactured outrage cyclesDuncan Trussell, occult practices, and manifestation encountersAliens, demons, Nephilim, and spiritual deceptionGovernment narratives, disclosure theater, and propagandaThe danger of leaning on “hidden knowledge” over ChristWhy rage is being weaponized against discernmentCalling in, live audience interaction, and raw commentaryThis episode is unfiltered, theologically grounded, and hostile to manipulation.
Today, we are looking, again, at Proverbs 2:12-15. We see, in these verses, how easily we can fall away from the right path, into the evilness of false teachings. Unless we study and apply the Bible, we will fall for any and all teachings-whether they are biblically sound or not. This episode gives practical advice, through Scripture, to help make sure you stay on the right path, the path that is led by the Spirit.
In this week's episode of In Totality, I'm joined once again by my girl Dinorah Peña, and we had a really great conversation about all the things!What started as a casual conversation turned to a Spirit-led dialogue on what it looks like to meditate on God's word and truly lean on the Holy Spirit, the weight of saying “yes” to God, and obedience.We talk through what it looks like to follow God even when you feel unqualified or overwhelmed. From wrestling with pride to the quiet conviction of the Holy Spirit, this conversation is not curated, it's confessed and vulnerable, and it's all about learning to trust God when the path feels uncertain and your heart feels unsure.If you've ever asked, “Am I doing enough?” or felt like your weaknesses disqualify your calling, this is for you. God's not waiting on your perfection. He's asking for your surrender.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In today’s special year-end holiday episode, host Heather Creekmore welcomes author and speaker Cynthia Ruchti to the show for an uplifting conversation perfectly suited to the busy woman navigating the Christmas season. As the holidays approach, the to-do lists are long, and the “reason for the season” can easily get lost amid shopping, family obligations, and endless tasks. Heather Creekmore and Cynthia Ruchti encourage listeners to pause, ponder, and rediscover the wonder of Christmas, focusing on spiritual renewal rather than exhausting productivity. Together, they discuss Cynthia’s Christmas devotional, her insights on noticing God’s presence, embracing lingering and pondering, and shifting our attitudes to receive what God has truly prepared for us—even in the midst of chaos, disappointment, and the “distribution of labor” that often falls to women during the holidays. The episode is packed with relatable holiday circumstances, biblical reflections, real-life stories, and practical encouragement to rest in the joy, awe, and wonder that Christmas offers. Key Topics Discussed: Why slowing down and observing brings more spiritual refreshment than staying busy The power of “lingering”—with God, with loved ones, and in the moment God’s upside-down kingdom and the abundance found in trusting Him with our time and resources Noticing God in both the seen and the unseen aspects of the Christmas story The message of redemption woven throughout Scripture, from Isaiah to the nativity What holiday mishaps (yes, even broken goblets!) can teach us about perspective and joy Reframing holiday serving as a gift for ourselves, not just for others How to keep awe and wonder alive in our hearts, even when Christmas feels like another item on the checklist Practical encouragement for busy moms and grandmas feeling the holiday load Using Cynthia’s 26-day devotional for a richer, more intentional holiday season Resources & Links: Get Cynthia’s Christmas devotional book, Spirit of Christmas: Discovering His Presence (available on Amazon and hemmedinhope.com) *Amazon affiiate link, a tiny portion of your purchase will support this ministry.

Our culture doesn't just move fast—it demands that we keep up. But what do our souls, our families, and our faith lose when we never slow down?Jonathan Youssef is joined again by author and nonprofit leader Kristen Welch for a deeply honest discussion about busyness, spiritual burnout, and the life-giving invitation to sit with Jesus. Kristen shares how years of faithful work and constant activity slowly led her toward spiritual depletion and how solitude and surrender became the pathway back to intimacy with God.Together, Jonathan and Kristen explore the dangers of equating productivity with faithfulness, the role of spiritual disciplines in a distracted world, and what it looks like to lead and live from a place of rest rather than striving.In This Episode, You'll Hear About:Why busyness is often celebrated, but spiritually dangerousThe difference between doing things for God and being with GodHow distraction can quietly create distance from the LordThe role of silence, solitude, and Sabbath in spiritual formationLearning to listen for God's voice in a noisy, over-stimulated worldCreating rhythms and habits that form us toward ChristRediscovering identity as a child of God, not a performerAbout Kristen WelchKristen Welch is an author, speaker, and the founder of the global non-profit, Mercy House Global.

In today's culture, many men are passive, silent, and afraid to lead — but Scripture calls Christian men to something far greater. In this episode, we talk honestly about what it means to be a godly leader and husband, not according to culture, but according to the Bible.We discuss biblical masculinity, spiritual leadership in the home, courage without pride, and how men are called to love, serve, and lead their families with conviction and humility. This conversation is not about domination or ego, but about responsibility, obedience to Christ, and laying down your life as a servant leader.Whether you're married, preparing for marriage, or simply seeking to grow as a man of God, our prayer is that this episode challenges and encourages you to step into the role God has called you to.✝️ COACHING WITH DAVID! https://imdavidhammond.com✝️ COACHING WITH MALLORY! https://biblicallyfeminine.com
For Dr. Dondi Costin, President of Liberty University, God's direction led from a timid teenager afraid to speak in public, to a decorated military chaplain, to the presidency of one of the largest Christian universities in the world. His story is a powerful reminder that God's sovereignty weaves every season, assignment, and relationship into a calling far greater than we imagine. With humility and clarity, Dr. Costin reflects on leadership, obedience, identity, and the future of Christian higher education.

Today, we are looking at Proverbs 2:10-2 to discover the benefits of Godly wisdom. I'm not talking about intelligence, I am talking about the skill and ability to live the way God wants. Some of the smartest people I know have no knowledge. In these verses, we will see what wisdom does for us, and what wisdom keeps us from.

In Week 2 of In The Neighborhood, we look at Jesus' teaching in Matthew 18:15–20 about how His people are called to deal with conflict. The main idea of this message is clear and hopeful: Jesus is God with us together.Rather than ignoring hurt or allowing division to grow, Jesus gives His church a path toward honesty, repentance, forgiveness, and restoration. And He promises that when we pursue unity in His way, He is present with us.This episode explores how Christian community is strengthened not by avoiding conflict, but by bringing it into the light—because Jesus meets us there.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

Biblical joy is not denial or optimism, but resilient trust in God's faithfulness. This Advent sermon from Isaiah 35 invites listeners to choose joy in the wilderness through gratitude, service, and generosity while living toward God's promised future.
Living Truth Christian Fellowship Podcast
In this powerful episode of Nephilim Death Squad, we're joined once again by Laura Baker, author of Cleansing the Bloodline and Kingdom Against Kingdom, for one of the deepest conversations we've ever had on spiritual warfare, generational iniquity, deliverance, and the true nature of God's Kingdom vs the kingdoms of this world.We cover:Laura Baker's new book Kingdom Against KingdomGenerational iniquity, bloodlines, and inherited spiritual strongholdsWhy Satan truly rules the systems of this world (education, medicine, media, politics)Faith vs systems: medicine, placebo effect, and biblical healingHow belief, confession, and agreement shape realityDemonic access through trauma, occult practices, and curiosityDeliverance, exorcism, and why most churches refuse to address demonsRaising children spiritually in a corrupted cultureDiscernment vs rebellion in the last daysCounterfeit Christianity, false Christs, and end-times deceptionWhy “come out of her, My people” is more literal than most realizeThis episode is raw, theological, experiential, and confrontational — not for casual listeners.If you've ever questioned why patterns follow families, why modern Christianity feels hollow, or how faith actually functions in the unseen realm, this conversation will challenge everything you think you know.
The Everlasting Father | The Child is Born Isaiah 9:6 gives us four names for Jesus, and this week's focus is on “Everlasting Father.” This message walks through the meaning of that title and how Jesus offers life, provision, consistency, and fatherly love that never fades. Even if you've experienced disappointment or hurt from your earthly father, Jesus steps in with eternal care. Key Insights: * Jesus is eternal—He didn't begin in a manger, and He'll never fade away. * The name “Everlasting Father” speaks to the loving, protective, and caring nature Jesus offers us. * Your view of God should not be limited by your experience with an earthly father. * Jesus offers unshakable hope because He is consistent, never changing, and always present. * Jesus doesn't just care for the world—He cares specifically for you and wants to walk with you through everything.

This sermon explores the deep longing for God's presence and the obstacles that obscure it. While we often associate God's presence with emotional experiences—tears or goosebumps—He is a constant reality. "Emmanuel" (God with us) is not merely a seasonal Christmas theme; it is the entire storyline of the Bible, from the Garden of Eden to the New Creation. God's relentless pursuit is defined by the promise: "I will be your God, you will be my people, and I will dwell in your midst." However, significant barriers often keep us from experiencing the face of God.Scripture ReferencesGenesis 3:1-13: The Fall, introducing disobedience and hiding.Psalm 51: David's plea not to be cast from God's presence.Isaiah 6:1-5: The confrontation between human sin and God's holiness.Luke 2:41-52: Jesus' parents losing Him by assuming He was in the crowd.Key PointsThe Narrative of Presence The Bible is bookended by God dwelling with man. It begins in Eden, moves through the Tabernacle and Temple, finds its fulfillment in Jesus, continues in the Church through the Holy Spirit, and culminates in the New Creation where no temple is needed.Seven Barriers to IntimacyDisobedience: Sin naturally creates distance.Hiding & Shame: Guilt says "I did something bad"; shame says "I am bad," causing us to hide from God.Lies: The enemy deceives us about God's character and the severity of sin.Holiness: God's unapproachable light exposes our darkness (Isaiah 6).Unforgiveness: Jesus teaches that holding grudges hinders our prayers.Busyness: Prosperity often leads us to forget the God who blessed us.Presumption: Like Mary and Joseph, we can travel days assuming Jesus is with us in the "religious crowd" without actually consulting Him.ConclusionDuring the holidays, we celebrate God being with us, but the pressing question is: Are we with Him? It is dangerous to assume His presence while living distracted, disobedient, or unforgiving lives. Jesus came to remove every barrier—sin, shame, and separation—so that we could once again walk face-to-face with God.Calls to ActionStop Hiding: Come out of isolation. Confess your sin and let God cover your shame.Check Your Assumptions: Don't assume God is with you just because you are at church. Actively seek His face daily.Release Unforgiveness: Let go of grudges that block your experience of God's nearness. Support the show*Summaries and transcripts are generated using AI.

Most Christians aren’t being persecuted with violence, they’re being persecuted with people. Unfriended. Misunderstood. Labeled. Screenshot. Canceled. In this episode, Jon Ellis breaks down what Jesus actually said about rejection and why following Him will cost you socially, but will never cost you your identity. You’ll learn why rejection is often revelation, how to stand strong when people walk away, and how the Holy Spirit empowers you to stay faithful in a culture obsessed with approval. This teaching is bold, pastoral, and prophetic, exactly what Gen Z and Millennials need to navigate the pressure of modern-day cancel culture. If you feel alone, overlooked, or unfollowed because of your faith… this episode will give you courage, clarity, and the conviction to stand with Jesus, even when it seems like you stand alone. Ever felt unfollowed, misunderstood, or quietly excluded because you chose to stand on Scripture? You’re not crazy, and you’re not alone. Jesus warned His followers that cultural rejection would come, and He taught us how to stand firm when the pressure hits. In this bold and pastoral episode, Jon Ellis equips you with clarity, courage, and practical steps to stay faithful when approval fades. If you’re ready to rise above cancel culture and live Uncommon, this episode will strengthen your resolve.

Send us a text Welcome to the beginning of our slow-and-deep journey through Matthew 5–7—the Sermon on the Mount. In this series intro, we step onto the hillside with Jesus and explore what's really happening in this moment: crowds gathering, disciples leaning in, and the King unveiling life in the Kingdom of God. This isn't an entrance exam to Christianity—it's the curriculum for apprentices of Jesus. We'll talk about why these chapters are essential for understanding our place as Christians, how they reshape our identity (not just our behavior), and how we're going to walk through them at a pace that allows real transformation.

He explains how growing up in an environment that dismissed feelings led him to rely on logic and spiritual effort rather than emotional connection. Through counseling, self-awareness, and building a supportive “life team,” he learned to process old emotional patterns, connect authentically, and find healing. Makin highlights how unprocessed experiences resurface until they are addressed through relational safety, empathy, and right-brain connection.Purchase The Christian Leader Blueprint book today: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/blueprintbookDownload The Christian Leader Blueprint – Short Guide (Free): https://www.ryanfranklin.org/blueprint Take the Christian Leader® Self-Assessment (Free):https://www.ryanfranklin.org/clselfassessment Learn more about Christian Leader® Community Coaching:https://www.ryanfranklin.org/communitycoaching YouTube and Audio Podcast: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/leaderpodcast Connect with Ryan: Email: info@ryanfranklin.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rnfranklin/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rnfranklin/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rnfranklin/ Audio mastering by Apostolic Audio: https://www.apostolic-audio.com#leadership, #thoughtleadership, #ministry, #pastor, #pastors, #churches, #leadershiptraining, #churchleader, #churchleaders, #influence, #leadershipdevelopment, #coaching, #executivecoach, #leadershipcoaching, #productivitycoach, #productivity, #growthmindset, #theproductiveleader, #ChristianLeader, #ChristianLeadership, #LeadershipPodcast, #FaithAndBusiness, #PodcastInterview, #ChristianEntrepreneurship, #KingdomImpact, #PodcastInspiration, #LeadershipJourney, #PurposeDriven, #ChristianPodcast, #LeadershipEssentials, #LeadershipFundamentalsSend us a text
